It has never been a secret that Vladimir Putin supports white nationalist movements around the world. Therefore, it was no surprise when we learned that your illegitimate president is the leader of the white supremacy movement in America. Trump is obligated to support Putin’s ambitions.
After nearly five years of Trump’s hate rallies, we understand why his cult will never desert him, although he has failed to keep a single promise, lies constantly, and has proven himself to be an abject failure as the leader of a nation of 330 million people. His cult shares his vile beliefs not only in white supremacy, but also xenophobia, Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, Homophobia, and sexism.
Several hate groups claim to be making preparations in the event Trump loses his reelection. They are determined to keep Trump in power by any and all means. Recent reports by intelligence agencies revealed a suspected Russian influence in their goals.
“American intelligence officials, according to The New York Times, now believe that neo-Nazi paramilitary operations such as The Base and its Northwest-based training operations, used to plan and train for terrorist acts in the United States, including possibly during the coming election season, are being underwritten and overseen by Russian intelligence services.”
Seven intelligence agents have been investigating these allegations, and recently the FBI has become involved.
Ignorance is rampant in America, and all forms of prejudice are evidence of a lack of logic and reason. But, here’s the undeniable truth.
Diversity in America is growing at a faster pace than previously predicted by sociologists. The average age of all Americans is 38.1 years of age. Millennials, Americans born between 1981 and 1996, are the largest voting bloc in our nation. They replaced baby boomers, who are losing their earthly bonds. Pure whites in America will soon be our nation’s primary minority. Women remain the majority of our population at 51-49 percent. Why are these facts important?
Millennials, women, and younger Americans in general, are far less likely to be racists or bigots. Accepting others for their actions is far more frequent than judging someone for the color of their skin or nation of origin. Although many older men in America consider women to be second class citizens, younger Americans recognize each other as equals. Religion is far less important for younger Americans. Christian faiths are losing members. The fastest growing religion is the Religion of Islam. Overall, more young Americans are choosing to refrain from involvement in any organized religion.
In 2009, 17 percent of America’s population labeled their religious affiliation as “none.” In 2019 the percentage rose to 26 percent. Nearly 8,600,000 men and women reject religious organizations. They are divided by those who continue to believe in a deity, are unsure, or are confirmed atheists.
Republicans and one of their owners, the Christian Religious Right, refuse to accept this fact. I became disenchanted with Christianity before I was 20 years old. I began to consider the teachings of the Catholic Church fantasy. None of my questions could be answered: everything was “a matter of faith.” I failed to understand that if a god was caring for his or her people how the rich continued to live lives of wealth beyond imagination, and the poorest, most persecuted people in the world suffer atrocities at the hands of their own governments.
A personal note to other men who are my age in America: “get over yourselves.” Your prejudices are passé. You must either celebrate the changes in our nation, or go live in Iowa, Arizona, Texas, Indiana, or the deep south. Change is inevitable.
These white supremacist groups are cowards unless they are with other bigots who share their beliefs. Their leader is a bonified draft dodger who encourages violence but has others do his fighting for him.
