Daily writing prompt
Where did your name come from?
`
This post’s headline speaketh of a clue re my wary response to this particular daily prompt; all courtesy of William Shakespeare’s Juliet; sayeth she…
“What’s in a name?’ that which we call a rose. By any other name, would smell as sweet.”
By the by, it’s my belief that ol’ Bill would’ve concurred with the following interpretations, courtesy of a Google Search…
“What she means is that her name does not define her. She’d be the same person no matter what name she was given.”
“Names themselves are a convention to distinguish things or people, but themselves, do not have any worth or meaning.”
In other words, climbing my family tree to ascertain the origins of my name does seem rather pointless and piddling; hell, it could even wind up being perilous. How might the hazards play out? Well, that’d begin with forwarding / applying our above Shakespearean discussions to our backward, troubled Trumpian times.
Were Donald J. Trump to ever snag his lusted after, second term, his ferocious misogyny would not only dictate his disdain and disrespect for judicious Juliet’s “what’s in a name” sentiments, his savage xenophobia would also kick in, full force. After all, that small-minded “man” has nothing but huge contempt for almost all foreigners (inclusive of every American citizen with a non-Norwegian ethnicity).
Tipping Donny off would be his massive, A to Z, directory that’d list our foreign sounding / spelled out surnames; all courtesy of the 2020 U.S. Census data (which he could’ve accessed and easily ripped off; not unlike how he had stolen, amassed and squirreled away all of those highly sensitive, classified, top secret documents).
At that juncture, it’d be child’s play for him to finalize his roundup and concentration camp encampment of his targeted ethnic minorities.
To the scoffing skeptics and sycophants, who’d deem my above characterization, far-fetched, I’d point out how that stick figure, husk of a man is even suspicious of a common surname, such as Smith. Said Dumb Donald of the man who’s been indicting him…
“This lunatic special prosecutor named Jack Smith – I wonder what it was prior to the [name] change,”
My whole point, here, is that true Americans must make damned sure that Trump never, again, parks his fascist fanny behind the Oval Office desk. To that end, the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment Section 3, could really come in handy; fully punish Trump for his attempted (fortunately failed) January 6th coup; forever forbid him from seeking / attaining high elective office. In essence, no second term would mean no second Holocaust. Let’s more closely examine 14-3’s language…
“No person who has taken an oath ‘as an officer of the United States’ can hold office if they ‘have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.'”
Yet, the spineless, shaking in their boots, powers-that-be, who took an oath to preserve and protect America, remain dead silent, which, in turn, permits fascist pig Trump to go hog wild which, in turn, brings us back, full circle, to my overall wariness re the WP daily question at hand…
“Where did your name come from?”
I’d like to believe that I’m feeling overly sensitive over any public discussion of my last name… however…
Seeing how this American citizen of non-Norwegian ancestry, with a foreign sounding and spelled out surname, hath good reason to worry about an iron-fisted, second Trump term (perhaps even inclusive of that aforementioned, second Holocaust), I’d be far better off flipping off what I perceive to be a prying prompt. In other words…
There’s no way in Hell that I’d ever take a deep dive into DIY victimhood; wind up amongst the herd of sheeple; become a lamb led to the slaughter; all discourtesy of a reinstalled traitor to America.
Donald J. Trump wallows in and reeks of fascistic stench, that (even) by any other name, could NEVER, EVER smell as sweet as judicious Juliet’s rose.
