Red Flag

Daily writing prompt
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

There are a lot of personality traits that act like warning beacons for me. Lack of empathy, selfishness, unwillingness to pet cats when the opportunity arises. There is one that stands out above all others though. Really, it’s not a personality trait in and of itself. It is more like the result of a series of red flaggable traits.

The red flag of which I speak is being a trump supporter. Those stupid red MAGA hats are literally red flags that they stick onto their own heads. Thanks for that, I guess.

If you are a trump supporter then in the best case you are someone for whom racism, hate, greed, sexism, nationalism, selfishness, and full on fascism are not a deal breaker. That’s enough for me to avoid you at all cost. Worst case, of course, is that you are just a plain old run of the mill fascist and that’s enough for my country to go to war with you, as evidenced by that little blip on history’s radar from back in the 1940’s. Remember that? When half the West was conquered by nazis and the other half banded together to eliminate them? That little historical event? Yeah. That’s where your trump support leads.

That’s it. Simple. Support trump and set off all of my red flags.
