I
made a statement on FB that I thought Trump has Nazi sympathies.
Numbers agreed. One man's thought in particular chilled me. I will
post his response and my comment to it below. We live, to say the
least, in serious times.
Blogger: Trump is a Nazi. He checks all the boxes in a strict definition of a Nazi.
He's a race hater; believes (and says) he has "superior genes"; hates
and despises the disabled (remember him on video mocking the reporter
who had cerebral palsy?); is a reckless,
rabid warmonger; views the rule of law (including judges) with vicious
contempt; aspires to authoritarian rule, trampling on the
Constitution .... so he's a Nazi. His father, Fred Trump, was a Nazi --
and KKK leader -- too.
My Comment:
The
only positive thing I can see out of this is that finally the extremist
of the extreme fascist-like authoritarian politics exhibited in a power
crazed leader of no ethics and his followers are reflecting to the rest
of the
nation why the left and all people of good will and humanitarian
politics loathe and are in fierce opposition to the right. The right is
violent, it is hate filled of the "other" and it is dangerous. It is
committed to the end of civil liberties except for themselves, of
course. The right has zero ethics and believes its ends
justify the means which means they will not hesitate to use whatever
force it takes to eradicate their perceived "enemy" and spread their
crackpot beliefs.
If you care about those you love you should join the resistance. If
you cannot march then contribute to it. It may save your life, your
children's lives, your grandchildren and all whom you love. It may even
save the life of our nation's democracy or what is left of it after one
year of Trumpian rule. It may even save Lady Liberty herself. I
agree with what the blogger had to say! Send this to anyone you choose.
