Republican Party House on Fire: Hate Attempts a Coup
|
From the instant Donald Trump announced his campaign, he threw the very first punch at America.
Specifically, Mexican-Americans, but also undocumented Mexicans, and those in their home country. |
“When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. - Donald Trump
Even prior to that time, he flatly indicted blacks and Latinos as the cause of all violent crime in America. “Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics [sic] -a tough subject-must be discussed. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2013”
He has insulted the intelligence, and integrity of women. Publicly called them “disgusting”, and “pigs”. He has made vile intimations about a journalist’s menstrual cycle, and all with impunity.

Now in the past two weeks, he has flung inflammatory hate-speech, and violent rhetoric as so much “red meat” at his gatherings, and has the gall to state on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, that "I don't accept responsibility. I do not condone violence in any shape," for the violent tendencies of his supporters, but was “investigating” paying the legal bills of 78-year-old Trump supporter, John McGraw, charged with assault for sucker-punching black man in face at a rally in North Carolina.

"The next time we see him, we might have to kill him."

The old man cold-cocked the black youth in the face, out of the blue, and his response to the press was, "The next time we see him, we might have to kill him." Days before the incident, Trump was heard to say “"I'd like to punch him in the face," referring to a protester at one of his gatherings in Nevada. McGraw took that emotion and physical act to heart when he publicly assaulted Rakeem Jones that way.

Can a man who espouses xenophobia, misogyny, bigotry, racism, hate-speech, and blatant fabrications and falsehoods, possibly be counted upon to fairly, and adequately, represent the concerns of the American people? One would think not. Yet, the shockingly high number of people in Trump’s corner, is immediately disarming, and hard to comprehend.
Hate is nothing new. Hatred of, and directed at, people of color is also nothing new. What is new, is the blatant, public, promotion of hate-concepts, as part of a campaign for the highest office in the land.
Then there is the crass, loud, rude, Narcissistic, nasty, uncouth, untrue, vicious, ad hoc buffoonery. Then there are the assertions of mental health professionals, which imply that the man is, quite possibly, psychopathic, manipulative, pathological, Machiavellian and, if left unchecked, an extreme danger to the well-being, and interests, of this country.
America has had a tarnished, shameful, bloody, hate-filled, history of these behaviors--- in public, and under the radar, but this writer is hard-pressed to ever be able to recall the “Christians to the Lions”, Colosseum, blood-lust rhetoric, and bullying from the campaign trail. The world is responding to the incredulity of our current danger. Democrats are calling “shenanigans”, but now, even the GOP has had enough, and has ramped up their actions toward stopping Trump in is tracks.

High-ranking, fairly well-respected, Republican figures have begun emerging, and demonstrating, and stating, their displeasure with his behavior, and his words. Even his character. Surprising as their statements have been so far, much is being played close to the vest, with much more to come, I suspect.
Riots, near-riots, hatred, violence, insane pack-mentality. Is this the America we are willing to accept? Is this the personality, and demonstrated demeanor of a, potential, future world leader with unfettered access to the nuclear codes?
Is America willing to let the loudest people seize control of the rationality, and unity required to secure a “more perfect union”? I hope not. But if an unsuitable candidate is permitted to continue, unopposed, and the people remain passive, and silent--- permitting his rise to power, then we get what we deserve. We get what we permit. God help America, for she knows not what she does. God bless America.
And as if All That Weren't Enough...
Great article!!
Very insightful and accurate portrayal of one of the most dangerous threats to us and the standards of decency within our American society. I pray that the intelligent and rational voting public take very seriously their moral duty to try and keep him from being elected. I'm not saying the other candidate choices are perfect by any means; but the alternative is more than frightening in its potential for upsetting world peace and stability.
