Ransom Note

Your loved ones are sad that they are not getting paid their money.

December 22, 2018.

We have kidnapped your loved ones.

800,000 of them.

We are holding them hostage until you meet our demands.

We want a wall. A big wall. A real wall.

We believe that people are trying to invade us. Scared, victimized people.

Mostly just brown people.

A bunch of us are racist.

And now that we have control of a couple of branches of government we feel pretty good about just saying “no” to the constitution.

So.

Deal or no deal?

We will write again.

Is a happy New Year coming soon?

Your loved ones are sad that they are not getting paid their money.

We make some of them work even while we hold them hostage. We told them they are essential.

But some of them don’t work.

And everyone doesn’t get paid.

You will see in a few days how hard it will be to live in this country without their work.

Are you ready to build our wall yet? Can we encourage you to be angry about the immigrants now?

Where is the wall?

Nobody can go to a national park if the roads are covered in snow. You know that, now.

Also nobody can go to the bathroom at the parks because those are locked. You have to poop in the park.

We kind of laugh about that here, but only for a little while.

Our leader is afraid of germs and the poop talk makes him nervous.

So we shut down the parks now.

All that money that used to come in from tourists is gone.

When will it come back?

It is only going to cost you $5 billion dollars. And then your loved ones can get their money.

Just think about the money.

Where is the wall?

Our leader told you more about the wall last night.

Were you watching?

Some of your loved ones are tired of working without money.

Money isn’t everything.

Some of them are angry about not being able to pay for their medicine, or housing. So this is also about health and security.

Can we make your worries go away? Say you will build our wall!

It can be so big, and you can write things on it. It can be a work of art.

Remember all the art on the Berlin Wall?

Don’t think about all the people who died trying to cross the Berlin Wall, that’s not for us to worry about now.

Just think about how we made your loved ones suffer for this idea of a wall.

Just an idea of a wall.

Where is the wall?
