All intelligent men and women know that reality shows are not real. There are scripts, directors, sound men, lighting specialists, make-up artists, and ‘coaches’ on the set. These ridiculous shows are designed to raise the emotions of viewers. The key word which describes these disgusting forms of television is “ugly.”
If you still want to see ‘reality television’ attend one of Trump’s hate rallies. Not a single intelligent and meaningful word is spoken in these ego-soothing events. Trump attacks everyone who does not agree with his un-American and immoral policies. Worst of all, he encourages anger, hatred, and violence against minorities, women, non-Christians, and the LGBTQ community. The result of his hate speech is what I call “The Trump Effect.”
Hate crimes have increased by more than 800 percent since Trump was nominated in July of 2016. With the aid of FOX Noise, he has intentionally divided our nation to a level not seen since the Civil War.
Look what happened in Clive, Iowa, just nine miles from Des Moines. On December 9th, Nicole Marie Poole Franklin, 42, intentionally drove onto the sidewalk and struck down a junior high school student. Her reason? The young girl was a Mexican.
“I don’t remember the impact, I just remember the car coming toward me,” the girl told CNN affiliate KCCI-TV. She added that she had been going to a basketball game. “I didn’t do anything, I’m just a girl just walking to a basketball game.”
Fortunately the girl was able to return to classes a week after the incident.
On Thursday Franklin admitted to her hate crime and was charged with attempted murder.
The television media fails to report hundreds of incidents similar to this disgusting action by a white woman. They don’t want the American people to know how Trump has changed and damaged our country.
I do not watch television “news;” I read articles from cities and towns around the nation to learn the truth. Sadly, I learn about the many hate crimes committed against minorities, non-Christians, the LGBTQ community, and women by Trump supporters. The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know the truth; how Trump and his circle of sinners have changed America. With their leader in the White House, white supremacists are emboldened and hatred and violence have replaced compassion and understanding.
During President Obama’s administration our nation was moving forward and joining the rest of developed nations. Under Trump’s rule, America is moving backwards towards our darkest times when racism and bigotry were the acceptable norm.
If you love the America of our founding fathers and found yourself in the middle of a Trump hate rally, you would experience an alternate America; one in which the Constitution has been repealed. You would be blinded by the “whiteness” of the crowd. The tension related to an atmosphere of hatred and violence would be unbearable.
But you would be experiencing a legitimate “reality show.”
