Trumpland Lies

"Traveler's in the Third Reich" by Julia Boyd seems like an interesting read but through the dark lens of history's hindsight of what really occurred in 1933 and beyond it is a warning. The Jewish people like Hispanics during the age of Trump were hunted down, captured, and killed or in the case of Hispanics, separated from their children and sent back to a country where they will be killed and/or brutalized at will.

Nothing can expunge the true history of the world's most despotic despot Hitler and his attempts, nearly successful, at the elimination of the entire population of the Jews of Europe.  Hispanic children coming with and eventually separated from their parent(s) want nothing more but to seek asylum because certain death awaits them in their country.  Trump lies and does so with impunity.  The preponderance of asylum seekers are not members of the lawless group M13 neither are they rapists.  

I am reminded of the 1 million Jewish children separated from their parents told they were going to the shower as Trump's henchmen told Hispanic mothers with children to calm them so they would await in silence their dastardly fate. Trump and his flock are criminals such as this nation has never seen with the exception of those who rounded up the Japanese during the Second World War and, of course, those who prospered by slavery itself.

Those of us with a shred of human decency and conscience revile the treatment of American Japanese who loved this nation and see its resemblance to the criminal Trump's treatment of Hispanic and other persons of color who have done no crime to this nation but merely want sanctuary in a nation that professes on its Statue of Liberty to "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"  Trumpland professes no such lofty thoughts but does rather like a more Hitlerian mantra “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
