Has Trump changed our national climate about violence, or has it been hiding in the shadows for the past eight years? The media won’t admit the fact that at least half of Trump’s supporters are indeed white supremacists and bigots. Trump’s rallies incite anger, hatred and violence. Have his supporters risen from the darkness because they now have a leader; a voice?
School teachers have reported an increase in bullying during the last 16 months. America is more divided now than at any time since the civil war. The Republican Party is imploding.
We have known for years that the GOP is the party of racists, bigots, misogynists, and homophobes, but has it now become the party of violent action?
Republican Senator from North Carolina, Richard Burr, was overheard making some very frightening remarks about Hillary Clinton. She has violated all of his rules; Hillary is defeating the Republican standard bearer, and is committing the ultimate sin; she is a woman.
He joked about walking in to a gun store recently; “nothing made me feel better” than seeing a magazine about rifles “with a picture of Hillary Clinton on the front of it.”
“I was a little bit shocked at that — it didn’t have a bullseye on it,” he said Saturday to GOP volunteers.
This is America in Donald Trump’s world. This is what this immoral man supports. Can we allow him to become the leader of the free world and be given the nuclear launch codes?
Trump has lived a life of luxury and privilege. He believes that money and fame offer him the right to act in any manner he chooses. He has absolutely no understanding of what it means to be a member of the working class in America. Trump is a “crude and immoral elitist.”
With one week to go until we have a new president, think carefully. Can our nation afford to have such a vile man as Trump as our 45th president? He is an insult to all presidents who came before him, and I am including Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush. These three men were horrible presidents, but Trump would be far worse.
Let’s get serious my friends. This election is not a bad joke; it is real and critical for the future of our nation. Hillary Clinton will be a great president, regardless of how the media presents her. Her platform will be beneficial for the majority of Americans. She has intelligent ideas and the temperament to implement them. She may be unable to work with someone as angry as Senator Burr, but she will work with both parties in an attempt to make our government functional once more. Hillary will return democracy to Washington.
Our nation must return to a country which supports understanding and compassion. If you agree with me, please re-post. Thank you.
