I am one of those who have been aware of Donald Trump since the 1980's. I was not surprised that he was the leader of the Birther movement. I was not surprised that he was caught on tape talking about grabbing pussy. I was not surprised he told a female reporter asking him questions about his treatment of women, that she must be bleeding from some hole. I was not surprised that he imitated a handicapped reporter as some mental retard. I was not surprised that he called Mexicans crooks and rapists. I am not surprised at all the racist, woman hating, stupid shit he says. I am not surprised that he calls himself a "nationalist."
Trump's father was also a hate filled racist. But apparently millions of Americans were surprised, even though Trump showed his true awful character during the primaries while he was running for president. Enough to get him elected president. I don't understand why. I just chalked it up to another mistake by stupid American voters. Who could be conned, or mistake the horrible character Trump put on public display for all to see?
If you want to vote for Trump, or hate filled Republicans who could care less about America, fine, that's your choice. Your vote is a reflection of who you are and who you think is best to run the country. But don't claim later that you did not know exactly who these people are. These people don't hide their beliefs. There have been KKK members in Congress since the end of the Civil War. Anyone paying attention knew it. Their own behavior and statements couldn't hide it.
The Governor's race in Georgia is a perfect example. Kemp, after being very public about suppressing voter rights was caught on tape saying, "We are in trouble if these people show up at the polls and vote." Will they? Lets see. The race is tied, which means even though everyone knows he is a dirty politician at least half the voters are going to vote for him anyways.
This is not a problem of one generation. Nixon was a well known dirty politician who once gave a famous "checkers" speech. Nixon was accused of taking kick backs of all kinds. "Checkers" was a dog given to him by some illegal donor, which Nixon admitted. Nixon went on national TV and he said plainly he was not going to give back a dog his kids loved. Fine, but the dog was an obfuscation of all the other illegal kick backs he had received, which he never addressed, yet, the country fell for his speech and he ran for president with half the country voting for him. Nixon lost a squeeker to Kennedy, but eight years later he was elected president and he won a second election as president in 1972, even though by that time the country knew the White House was tied to Watergate. So a man who was once a buddy of Joe McCarthy became popular enough to win two presidential elections.
Another generation voted for George Bush Jr. a second time even though by that second election the country knew he had lied and caused the death of 10's of thousands of innocent people, not to mention the death of thousands of American soldiers. This after his first elected win as president was given to him by the right wing Supreme Court.
Sorry folks, there is no other way to say it, you are the dumbest voters on the face of the Earth. Not bedcause you might disagree with my liberal politics and thinking, but because you willfully vote for crooks, liars, and bigots as your leaders.
It's to late to go back to some kind of political normalcy, which was always a dirty process anyways, but we are now political extremists, partisan political hacks, and dishonest as a society of voters. This is a learned behavior and like racism it won't disappear until those haters literally die off and even then there will always be the residual of this trait in our people.
It's true. The enemy is within us and we are destroying our own once great society.
You can no longer claim these politicians have some hidden agenda, or you did not know their evil intentions. They have made themselves very, publicly clear. Their lies are obvious. It's your choice now and I'm not confident in your choice given your past voting decisions.
This country is a mess, financially and in every other way. Your votes have ensured the problem will only get worse. Even if you had a change to sanity right now, it would take the rest of the 21st century to fix the mess and I won't wait for Hell to freeze over to expect you will become sane in the next two weeks.
It sucks to be right about some things!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your passion.
My conclusions are based on facts. There are many more facts than the ones I listed. If my conclusions are pessimistic it's because that's what the facts define. It's not a happy situation we are in right now.
