Locusts and Racists

From Wikipedia:  “Locusts are certain species of short-horned grasshoppers… which possess both a solitary phase and a swarming phase. In the solitary phase, these grasshoppers are innocuous, their numbers are low and they do not pose a major economic threat to agriculture. However, under suitable conditions of drought followed by rapid vegetation growth, serotonin in their brains triggers a dramatic set of changes: they start to breed abundantly, becoming gregarious and nomadic…”

Racists are a certain species of human being… which possess both a solitary phase and a swarming phase. In the solitary phase, these racists are innocuous, their numbers are low and they do not pose a major threat to the public. However, under poor economic conditions, followed by a presidential popularity contest, the serotonin in their brains triggers a dramatic set of changes: they start to come out of the closet, spewing their hatred and ignorance for all to see (and cringe over)…

“They are also edible insects; they have been eaten throughout history and are considered a delicacy in many countries.”

While learning about locusts, I found these Trump caterpillars (on Google images):

Hang on, the presidential race is almost over. 🙂
