On the eve of the 2016 Election I write this post as a last effort to help people understand what tomorrow may mean for our future. I apologize for the length but want those out there, maybe still on the fence, or those out there supporting Donald Trump.
I have made it clear throughout the last year plus, about my problems with Hillary Clinton. She is not who I supported in the primary. I do disagree with her on multiple policies and do not always have faith she will follow through on some of the policies she is supporting at this moment. I believe my criticisms of her are founded in reality and pose real threats to the way I believe our country should move forward. Let’s also though realize, that just because I have my issues with her, which does not mean I will not be supporting her campaign to become the next President tomorrow. Having our first female President and by Trump’s own admission, a fighter when she gets into office (even if there is some disagreement with what she will fight for), will lead to a positive movement in this country. She will be a beacon of hope for the youth in this country that both men and women have equality.
Trump does pose a threat to this country. Let’s just look at things he has said and supports. We know he does not respect women. His track record of Raping his ex-wife, plus the dozen plus women to accuse him of sexual assault PROVE that fact. You want to believe they are all lying? Why? Money? Are any of these women going after his money? Nope… Fame? So you think these women are willing to come out and be ridiculed by the Fascist Right Wing supporters? That sounds fun to you? I think not. EVEN if some are lying, which I don’t believe any are, there is NO way all of them would be. The future of this country could be a person who truly believes women are his property. And will dump any of them once they are not as trophy wife as he’d like.
Next let’s look at how little he truly knows about how government, economics and facts/reality work. Trump clearly has stated in multiple interviews and implied that he would just make everything better. Blaming Hillary for not fixing the country as a Senator. Trump does not understand that there is voting and debating and working on policy that must be done with both House and Senate, and then President. This is all over his head. Trump is the man who believes to help get us out of debt that he may just stop paying back our debt… There is not an international “bankruptcy” law (like the one he used to weasel out of 6 times to avoid paying back debt to both banks and the small business contractors he says he cares about). If he refuses to pay bills, trade wars will ensue, and the global economy will CRASH. He would begin the biggest depression the entire planet has ever seen. Let’s also look at his “Wall” policy of building a wall between Mexico and USA. First he said Mexico would pay for it, which he of course never actually knew they would, and after they made it clear there is NO WAY they will, he has decided we will pay for it… OK… Well I mean there is a huge illegal immigrant problem right? Oh wait REALITY is we have a NEGATIVE illegal immigrant problem. Meaning that we have more illegal immigrants LEAVING the country than coming in. It is officially going on the right track… Without spending Billions of tax dollars to build an UNNECESSARY wall.
Oh but isn’t Hillary a LIAR? Has she lied? Yes. Let’s look at just a few of the lies Trump declares. First his very first major one. Obama isn’t an American. This was a long standing belief and idea Trump had been saying for the better part of 8 years. He only decided to “give in” on the idea that Obama was born in America earlier this year. Many years after the fact Obama decided to release his birth certificate CLEARLY stating he was born in Hawaii. He also attacked Obama this weekend for yelling at and attacking one of Trump’s supporters at a rally and how disgusting it was. The REALITY is, as you can find right now on YouTube, which not only did Obama not verbally go after the man, but defended him and his right to protest the event. He told the crowd to not boo or do anything to the man. Wanted the man to be respected as an American. Let’s look at how Trump deals with protesters. Go on the internet and you will find DOZENS of examples of not only the people in the crowd who were verbally and Physically hurting protesters, but Trump himself supporting the violence against them by saying things like “I’ll pay for your legal fees if you hit him,” or “I wish I could punch that guy.” He sure sounds respectful to people’s RIGHT to protest while Obama was a big “Meany.” Also Trump denies mocking a disabled person at a Rally… Problem the tapes on the internet CLEARLY show him mocking the reporter’s disability while talking about him at his rally. His lie about the voter fraud in this country. The FACTS state about 30 or so confirmed voter fraud cases in 20 years… Less than 1 per state for 20 years… Though I will give him credit there has been voter fraud already discovered THIS year. The problem is it was a TRUMP SUPPORTER who committed the voter fraud, and voted twice. There is no evidence of any mass conspiracy, and believe me Republicans have been trying for DECADES to find some. This leads to the idea he may not “accept” the results of the election? He wants to discredit the very FOUNDATION of this country. Democracy means nothing to Donald. Trump is a LIAR.
Trump has some pretty strong endorsements. Groups such as the Alt Right and a little group known as the KKK, have come out in strong numbers to support Trump… Let that sink in. The KKK wants Trump to be President. Does that not alarm you? It should give you pause. The group who put real Terrorism on the map in American history is supporting a candidate. Let alone that when Trump was asked about whether he was ok with the endorsement he responded, “I’m not sure about the group, I will need to look into that…” YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THE KKK IS?????? REALLY?????? That’s right ladies and gentleman one of the 2 top candidates for President has NO idea about the history of this country. I guess that is why he can make such “bold” claims that African Americans are living in the worst time in history for them… Ever hear of slavery Donald? Nope, ignorance wins all!
I never really let it sink in what my high school Teach Mr. Nydeen told me many years ago. “We must study History so we do not repeat it.” WWII was started by a Fascist known as Hitler. I will not sit here and tell you Trump will be just like Hitler, I cannot say that with a fact, but what I can say, is how they gained popularity and potentially power is eerily similar. Hitler gained popularity by being a populist candidate out of a terrible economic disaster. For Germany it was all the issues and cost of WWI. Here we see Trump gaining support with the Wall Street collapse. Hitler created a sense of Extreme nationalism. He started a movement to blame the cause of the economic state on a minority and encouraged a purge of that minority. This all seems Very similar doesn’t it? It SHOULD scare you. Genocide is not that hard a step once a man in power has created a mob of individuals that have hate and fear driving them.
Last thing I will mention is a very basic understanding of the difference between Hillary and Donald. Hillary does actually have feelings for people in this country. Her career has shown someone who has fought for women’s rights, and healthcare for children. She has empathy. Is she corrupted by the money? Probably, to an extent. But to say the man who has been corrupting politicians for decades will all of a sudden not feed into the system that has benefited himself and his friends, is insane. Trump has proven time and again that his businesses and ideas are for his benefit and his alone. Bankruptcy after bankruptcy, disgusting comment after disgusting comment, and lie after lie. He wants to increase his image and cares nothing of other people. Empathy is one of the major differences between the parties in the current state. One has it, the other doesn’t. The question is do you want a country that only is a “safe and viable” place to live for people JUST like you? Maybe JUST white, Christians, who are heterosexual and married with kids? Or do you believe that the foundation of this country is based on having people from all sorts of backgrounds working together to make a better country and a better world? The choice is yours. Please vote tomorrow on 11/8.
Thank you.
