I fully support Donald Trump going all in, and betting his entire Presidency on the narrow slice of America made up of white supremacists and Q Anon true believers.
MOST Americans are centrists, for better or worse...
Some are left of center, and some are right, but the majority are actually not venomous conspiracy theorists who think that children from anywhere should be put in cages, or that protestors should be killed in their streets by 17 yr old vigilantes.
A vast majority of voters are seniors who are trapped in their homes by a president who mocks the wearing of masks, and dismisses Covid because it “only affects the elderly”, while holding super spreader rallies in their communities
Those seniors stand next to that rally goer the next day in the grocery store, keeping them from visiting their children and grandchildren.
Keeping them afraid for their own lives, under the watch of a man incapable of human empathy or care.
Many of those white Boomer seniors, may not fully understand Black Lives Matter, or what white privilege means, but that is not the same thing as thinking that a policeman should kneel on the neck of a black man until he is dead, or shooting him the back 7 times.
No wonder Trumps support is plummeting with seniors, heretofore his most loyal supporters.
So, Mr. Trump, keep doing you.
Keep up the incoherent ranting, the blatant racism, the conspiracy theories, the authoritarian tactics, keep cozying up to murderous dictators. Keep demonizing trusted scientists and the military.
And by all means, keep mocking Joe Biden for having dementia! For being sleepy, too old, and too afraid to leave his house.
Definitely keep mocking him for wearing a mask and practicing social distancing.
You are on the right track Mr. Trump.
Please do not listen to any of your panicked advisors.
Keep those numbers in the swing states plummeting!
For the first time I can support what you are doing!
One more thing I almost forgot!
Keep telling us that a new healthcare plan is coming in two weeks, right up until November third!
For yrs I have been on this platform talking about what is going on with white women and why they are silent/complicit, and have been shouted down
Generations of submission under the beliefs that are being spoken out loud now, about how women are supposed to live.
For centuries white women have lived this way. It goes back to feudalism and beyond.
Women were bought and sold, traded for cattle or land.
They were expected to work and be brood mares that created more workers, until their bodies gave out and they were replaced.
Brutal lives…
And the threat was always there.
Submit or you and your children will be on the street and fair game for much worse.
That threat has never really ended, not as draconian, but the message survived…submit or you and your children will end up on the street, in poverty.
Russian leadership is telling the Russian people that reports of what is happening in Ukraine are,
“FAKE NEWS”.
There it is. Propaganda.
The same propaganda that is happening here.
Why am I always hollering about how we should not buy into the propaganda that has been so effective here in America, designed to make us believe that the news is FAKE…because of THIS.
It’s propaganda.
Don’t be a useful idiot.
For DECADES the right wing has worked non stop to make you distrust the press.
Trump ranted constantly about “FAKE NEWS”.
Now we see Putin telling his people that the truth of what is happening in Ukraine if fake news.
In the 4th grade on the schoolyard, we asked each other what we would do if we had been in Germany when the Nazis hauled away our neighbors.
It is a question that people all around the world have asked since WWII.
I am not sure that anyone with any serious understanding of history, thinks that ignoring monsters makes them go away.
Children on the playground used to understand that.
And it is more than what Putin is doing. It is how we approach what is happening here in the US.
Every single time these right wing extremists who are coming for our democracy, makes so much as a PEEP, we should all be talking about. It should be covered on every news station.
