Friday, November 8, 2024:  The Racists Won

Kamala Harris lost not because the Republicans offered a better America, but because they appealed to the bigoted white cast that can't stand seeing anyone other than white male folk at the top of the social, economic, and political pyramid.

Trump stoked racism throughout his campaign in speeches that included false accusations against immigrants and inflated crime figures. He demeaned the intelligence of his opponent, a Black woman; repeatedly amplified a lie that Haitian immigrants were eating neighbors' pets in Ohio and held a rally near the end of his campaign at Madison Square Garden that was rife with bigotry and misogyny.

And here is what confirms that…

A wave of racist text messages summoning Black people to report for slavery showed up on phones across the United States. The texts, which began as early as Wednesday morning, were reported across the South, and from New York to California.

The messages followed a pattern: addressing recipients by name, telling them they had been selected to "pick cotton" on a plantation and ordering them to show up at a specific time to be picked up by slave handlers. Some included a reference to the president-elect, Donald J. Trump.

Oh, but America is not a racist nation. Right!



Wednesday, November 6, 2024:  America – Welcome To The Land of Stupid

There are no words to describe the incredible ignorance of the American electorate. Thank you MAGA, Fox news, and social media. We are about to go down a hellhole and the damage that will be inflicted on this country and the world over the next four years will take several generations and probably a world war to fix.

I guess it comes down to this. Basically like Trump, the majority of Americans are racists, misogynists, anti-Semites, crude, crass, wanabe criminals, and sociopaths.

So my parting words are this…

Good luck Trump voters because in your stupidity, you are all about to get screwed. Your water and air will be polluted. Your workplaces will be unsafe. Your taxes will go up. The infrastructure you depend on everyday will decay. Your teeth will rot because there is no fluoride in your water. Children will die from diseases that were once eradicated. Your cost of living will sky rocket. Your pay will stagnate and yes, we will likely be at war. I could go on, but why bother. You obviously don't give a shit and clearly don't know or care that it is the Democrats who have made America great, not the Republicans.


Tuesday, November 5, 2024:  El Momento De La Verdad

I've talked about America being on the precipice of political disaster in past posts. Well, we are about to find out on this date whether "We The People" want our democracy to endure or whether we will turn our future over to an autocrat and the evil enablers that surround him so that they can systematically destroy almost 250 years of greatness.

This is a day that will either live in infamy or be the day when good triumphs over the MAGA evil that has corrupted our political system.


Friday, November 1, 2024:  Trump The Demagogue

From a Washington Post October 29, 2024 Article by Eli Merritt

In his 1954 book "American Demagogues," historian Reinhard Luthin defined a demagogue as "a politician skilled in oratory, flattery and invective; evasive in discussing vital issues; promising everything to everybody; appealing to the passions rather than the reason of the public; and arousing racial, religious, and class prejudices — a man whose lust for power without recourse to principle leads him to seek to become a master of the masses."

More recently, in "The Demagogue's Playbook," University of Chicago law professor Eric A. Posner described a demagogue as a political actor "who obtains the support of the people through dishonesty, emotional manipulation, and the exploitation of social divisions; who targets the political elites, blaming them for everything that has gone wrong; and who tries to destroy institutions — legal, political, religious, social — and other sources of power that stand in their way."

Basically, a demagogue appeals to the "stupid" and ugly side of the human psyche. It is both impressive and at the same time deeply disturbing that Trump, the demagogue, has managed to suck so many Americans into the MAGA fold.

Why anyone would want to vote for this ass hole is beyond me. He thinks anyone in the military is stupid. He is a serial and convicted sex offender. He believes he can grab any woman by her crotch because he is "famous". He is a crook and a convicted felon. He is an incompetent businessperson with multiple business failures. He has screwed vendors, banks, lawyers and various governments out of hundreds of millions of dollars. His actions as president during the COVID epidemic result in the deaths of thousands of Americans. For all you evangelicals, Trump has violated most of the Ten Commandments. He unflinchingly panders to whatever group he is addressing. He is old and senile. In the end, Trumps sole purpose in his run for the American presidency is to stay out of jail and destroy American democracy. As president, Trump will reach his ultimate goal – to be the mafia don of the United States of America, running the American government as a organized crime organization.

But I will give him this. He is has been and will always be the ultimate con man and uber-grifter. It does take some talent and practice to con 40% of the American electorate into believing he actually gives a shit about them.

So here it is MAGA. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about you. So if he wins, I strongly suggest you put your head between your collective legs and kiss your ass and your freedoms goodbye.

We are at a crossroad in American history. The Trump road will put us on the path of self-destruction that will end in the death of American democracy. On the Harris path, we can re-establish ourselves as the leader of democracy in the free world and again be proud to say we are Americans. This is a one time opportunity to fix the wrong in America that is personified by the likes of Trump.
