On November 5, America makes a significant decision in the election of the 47th president of the United States. We have a choice between dark and light, decency and violence. This election of 2024 is as important as the election of Number 16, Abraham Lincoln. Trump’s history suggests that Lincoln should have made a deal.
Well, Mr. Dumb Trump, he did make a deal. He freed the slaves and saved the Union. His decision gave us a new America.
Freedom.
Change…
Change is coming, regardless of the 2024 presidential candidate. We are living at a time when major change is possible.Do we move backward or do we move forward? Preserve democracy. What if we saved America? Why don’t we preserve the culture? Why don’t we prevent America from becoming a fascist state? Hitler types should not be the head of state. What if we don’t want a government like Hitler’s? What if we didn’t want anyone to use the military to validate themselves? Why don’t we object to the government endangering women’s health care during the most vulnerable period of their lives? How about allowing medical professionals to practice what they do best for their patients?
What if America paid attention to five-star general John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who claimed that Trump would pose a threat to the nation and is unfit to lead because he is a fascist? Trump announced that he would dismantle the Department of Education in his Project 2025 blueprint. What if he shut down Public Television and National Public Radio? What if Trump is allowed to act in such a lewd manner in the White House? What about Trump’s threat of nuclear weapons? What is Trump’s potential approach to NATO? How about not enforcing the law against Trump? What do you think? What about Trump’s admiration for Russia’s tyrant, Vladimir Putin? These are questions that require replies. Trump says America is the world’s garbage. Should he be president?
Trump is a Media Fabrication…
The media have manufactured the political persona of Donald Trump. He isn’t. The media have covered Trump but have not held him responsible or accountable. For instance, when he states, “Make America Great Again.” What is he discussing? What were the years and era, who was the president then, and what was the social climate? To become the most powerful man in the free world, he has marketed himself to the American public using lies, falsehoods, exaggerations, and stunts. He is a marketer. Trump’s French fry-making prank at McDonald’s is the greatest of them. Or how do you feel about his applicability when talking about the primary parts of legendary golfer Arnold Palmer? Was this a “macho man” example?
It was a hate rally that he held in Madison Square Garden. Racist, disgusting, and terrible. Perhaps it was the 2024 Ku Klux Klan conference. It was modeled after a rally for Hitler. This is particularly troubling because the gathering was filled with hate, terror, and darkness, and there were insult after insult. It was obscene.
I hope the American people are better than Donald Trump. His rhetoric is similar to Hitler’s. Believe him. I hope the United States is listening. We are reminded in a history lesson that the Jews did not believe Hitler’s rhetoric. I think America is more intelligent than Trump’s strong words and marketing ploys.
Martin Niemoller wrote insightfully on ignoring Nazi Germans.
They came for the Socialists first, and since I wasn’t a socialist, I kept quiet. I remained silent when they came for the trade unionists. Since I wasn’t a trade unionist. I remained silent when they came for the Jews. Since I wasn’t a Jew. Eventually, they came for me, and nobody else could defend me.
Trump’s political views are not suitable for the United States in 2024.
