Last week the RNC took place in Cleveland, OH. It was filled with controversy from the very beginning. The fact that so many high standing Republicans did not even attend the event is evidence of the dysfunction. The Bush’s did not attend. Only the last 2 Republican Presidents ever… There was also Senator Sasse who went to say he would not attend, and would instead take his children to watch some dumpster fires across the state; which he stated he’d find more popular than the candidates. Or how about another candidate Kasich. He only lives just 2 hours away from the conference, he also decided he was not going to attend. This is a party that is clearly divided. The whole conference did not get much better.
The whole week got off as crazy we, anyone outside the Party, would think. The beginning was vote conducted to release the delegates from their obligation to vote for Trump. That was squashed almost immediately. They did do a verbal "yay"/"nay" vote. Obviously I was not in the room, but the reports coming out were that it was clearly WAY too close to tell who one. But the person in charge decided that the people voting to not release the votes had won the vote and exited the stage as fast as possible. This was an obvious antagonizing start to a week that is supposed to promote the party who get essentially 24/7 free advertising. Hell, the way the corporate media decides to be "neutral", will allow and never challenge the lies that will inevitably happen. Instead it was a circus...
The week was then proceeded by individuals going on stage and spreading fear and hate. .” It was clear the idea for the message was an attempt to fear the people of this country to make an irrational decision and support a man who is in essence is a destructive, divisive, arrogant, reality star. I wish I could say their was anything positive but in the end the closest they got were the lies about just how "successful" a man he is, when he has run multiple businesses straight into the ground. Ignored he abused the tax system to then get out of that debt from claiming bankruptcies multiple times. I mean I should not be too surprised since this is the party that idolizes when they elected a Movie Star who started the destruction of the constitution and began the massive shift of money, and then power to the top 1% and left the rest to fight amongst themselves. The constant theme was one of "Make American Fear Again." Whether it be the obvious tragedy porn. The worst part, are those people who are some of the people I do actually care about. They were trotted up and convinced to support a man who was using their misery to promote his own personal agenda with no regard of helping those hurt. The irony that the Party claiming to bring strength used 4 days to talk about how afraid they, and everyone should be. Be afraid!!! I have said it before, and proven once again; the Republican Party is supported by individuals who let their “feelings” override any logical or rational thoughts.
The epitome of this was an interview with Newt Gingrich on CNN. He was talking about Trump’s acceptance speech. He also tried to push this “fact” that crime is up. Except FACTS say the opposite it true. He does clarify saying in some cities, and that is true. “Some” cities have gone up, but the overall trend is crime is going down significantly. He then proceeded to talk about those are just facts. Things Liberals like to bring up, but ask people and they will say they “feel less safe.” And again he is actually right, people “feel” less safe. That is a Fact, but “feeling” unsafe and ACTUALLY being less safe are NOT the same. Just because a lot of people feel something does not make it true. He refuses to back off that people’s “feelings” are essentially true and should override any sense of statistics or reason. This is the entire reason the Republican Party exists as a cesspool of the racist, homophobic and all around bigots, that fill much of the Party. This is the reason a candidate as deplorable as Trump could possibly run this country (straight into the ground).
So I ask the people who may read this and trying to justify supporting Trump. Please let reality, and facts and actual knowledge into your brain. Hearts, and feelings are important but they do not constitute how the world works. The world will become an unbearable place under a man who understands nothing of the economy, nothing about how treaties must be followed, nothing of the Constitutional rights of not JUST white Christians, but people of ALL races and religions. He is a leech, and the worst part is no matter whether he wins or loses the country is worse just for having him get the momentum he has so far. He has normalized hate and fear. He promotes violence and anarchy. This is a dangerous man. Please seek the truth. It will never lie to you, but people sure can.
