"I Told You So!"

... And so we move into an age where they deny the climate, they deny the poor, they deny women, they deny children, they deny identities, beliefs, and appearances of all radiant, brilliant kinds, and they deny our future so that they can have their Golden Icon -- a gigantic, bronzed Cthulhu wannabe spreading gilded bile over the planet... And while they’re bowing to the engorged Tanning Parlor King, the Commander of Sleaze, many of us will be protesting against this demonic charlatan's dominion over the climate, the poor, women, children, others,... But if our loss is determined, and I hope beyond hope it isn’t, I may not live long enough to tell them to their burning faces, “I told you so.” So, just in case I never get the chance, I’m writing it now: “I TOLD YOU SO!”
