Today the whole country practices followership out loud. The leaders go quiet; the follower holds the pen. A vote is a follower’s signature, and a signature obligates. Thank you in advance for voting. tremendousleadership.com/blo… @tremendousbooks

Look, the simple truth is that on November 3rd, the Republican Party needs to be punished. The Republican Party needs to be punished BIG TIME for continuing to embrace a sociopathic madman who is a traitor to, and an enemy of, America. VOTE.

There is no rhyme or reason behind how MAGAs support someone who lies to them. Whether it's Fox News, Newsmax or Trump himself they are so hateful and unhappy with their lives, they believe only what it is they want to hear, no matter how untrue it might be.

Y'all seriously think you can wear a bag on your heads and people watching all over the country will see that and say to each other: "Oh--i'm sure that's not directed toward the head coach, but is actually a pointed commentary at their current athletic director, given certain actions he's taken in the last three years." Yeah, that's 100% what any rational viewer who knows nothing about Auburn would think.
