Trump’s transition team is bypassing all forms of democracy in our system. First they attempted to bully the EPA into giving them names of employees who support actions to halt climate change. Now they are directing their attention towards the State Department to give them names of men and women who support the equality of women.
Trump is following the tactics of one of his heroes; Adolf Hitler. He is attempting to purge our nation of patriotic Americans whose concern for America’s future takes precedence over the profit and power of the one-percent.
The not so subtle wording of Trump’s circle of sinners, led by Steve Bannon, asked the State Department for “gender-related staffing, programming, and funding.”
Trump has been exposed as a man who has no respect for women. His early actions prove that he will escalate the Republican war on women.
What is most frightening is that the tactics employed by his circle of sinners is identical to those of the fascist regimes of Hitler and Mussolini in the late 1930’s. The GOP is allowing him to consolidate power and rule our nation, not serve the people. The goal is obviously increased wealth for Trump, Putin, and his cabinet and advisers. My America is in grave danger from a regime which is seeking totalitarian rule.
I am shocked and ashamed that millions of Americans displayed their hatred for the America of our founding fathers and voted for the most immoral man in America. If you voted for him, you must accept his vile actions; I refuse to acknowledge his legitimacy as my president. Hillary received the people’s mandate, and would have been one of the greatest presidents of all time. What we have now is a man who will be the worst of all time; a man who destroyed the nation of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and Adams.
No American can live in denial; Putin, Robert Mercer, and Trump plan to create a fascist nation which will allow them to place our nation into the control of plutocrats. They have no concern for 320 million Americans; theirs is a goal to become more wealthy than god.
Is a second revolution a good idea? No; it’s our only hope. We cannot allow the Republican Party and its standard bearer to destroy our nation. Our hopes cannot rest on congress or even the media; we only have ourselves. Join protests in your city, and denounce the intent of the few to rule the many.
We must take our country back.
