This
(link below) is not surprising given the tenor of the Trumpian time in
which we live. When a war hero Senator who sacrificed all for his
country is spoken of by an employee in the Trump White House with such
indifference impugning and verbally insulting him as he lay dying in his
bed simply because Senator McCain had the gall at times to policy
oppose Trump it is an outrage. The man at the top from whom this sentiment is sanctioned
says nothing and the woman who said it still has her job.
Is
it any wonder that these hate crimes against so many minority groups
whom Trump has assaulted with pugilistic verbal venom that gays, the
targets of sanctimonious teenage violence by allegedly straight men,
will occur. A permission slip has been granted by the so called
"president" and man at the top of our leadership, so much so he will not
come out against hostile statements or acts whether it is in his office
about a war hero who has opposed the "dear leader" occasionally or a
vicious assault of gay men after a Gay Pride event. Our so called
"president" will never decry this vicious behavior and by silent proxy
concurs with and owns it.
To
those teens: me thinks thou doest protest too much! Often, if one is
given the opportunity to psychologically delve into the character of men
who commit these violent bullying attacks one might find a fear with
which they themselves struggle that they are gay too and try to prove
through extreme brutal violence against gays their manliness showing the
world they are "real men."
A
vile act has been committed on two innocent men fracturing the cheek of
one. It is happening to many in this Trumpian hate filled age. There
are hundreds more like it whether against gays, Hispanics, Muslims,
Jews, persons of color, Asians and others.
Trump is an inferior man and an inferior president. I think he knows it and he is a bully because of it. Maybe Trump, too, is questioning his manhood and intellectual virility by bullying his opposition when they cannot strike back. We the people should strike back and we the people must strike back. RESIST!
