Remember, when you make your bed, you’re going to sleep in it. My grandmother said this and even at the age of 6 or 7 I understood what she meant. In today’s political environment, many observers, analysts and commentators don’t understand how certain people can vote for Trump?
How can a Latino vote for Trump? Do they imagine that when the fascist rioters are violently throwing “illegals” in detainment centers there will be an exception for brown skins who have good papers? Fools.
How can a black person vote for Trump? Do they imagine that when the hooded vigilantes start hanging people in front of their churches that good Black Republicans will carefully be spared? That has never been true before. No, the KKK indiscriminately hang people - a book by the title “Strange Fruit”.
How can a Jew vote for Trump? This is a guy, and a movement, who declares Hamas’ equivalence to Israel, excuses the actions of 7 Oct 23 that Israel had “caused” Hamas to commit those atrocities? I’m not saying that the current administration in Israel is guiltless in the degree to which tensions have risen. But Hamas is a genocidal organization that only wants all Jews removed. Sensible Americans cannot either endorse the near-genocidal actions of the Netanyahu government nor the genocidal ambitions of Hamas and their backers in Iran. Trump knows none of this - he approaches the Middle East with the question - “What’s in it for me?” Jews cannot vote for this guy!
How can a businessman/woman vote for Trump? Don’t they understand that the rule of law is the foundation of capitalism? This is a core principal of all advanced, democratic nations and a core principle in economic theory. The way Trump and his cronies break the law and seek personal profits instead of the National interests should dissuade any responsible business owner or manager from endorsing Trump.
How can a police officer vote for Trump? Trump is the guy who says January 6th rioters were “peaceful protestors.” Try telling that to the 140 or more officers defending the Capital that day! A police officer who votes for Trump is breaking ranks with their fellows.
How can a Union member vote for Trump? This is a guy who will send out the National Guard to break up Union picket lines.
How can a Postal worker vote for Trump? This is a guy who buys into the whole “privatization” scheme of the far right and oligarchs who want to both lower taxes for essential services AND to profit from moving the mail.
How can a member of the military vote for Trump? This guy calls those who servd and died for our freedoms “losers.” This is a draft dodger with “bone spurs” who does not respect what our Armed Forces have sacrificed for this country over hundreds of years.
These people, and others are seriously underestimating their risks. Don’t they understand that if Trump were elected again they would give up the very democracy that guarantees their freedoms?
People! Wake up! Voter for a regular old politician who, whatever else, will not kill the democratic institutions of this country. Let’s go Joe! Let’s go Biden.
Trump supporter don't think they will be spared! They don't think. What's Wrong with America is Americans. The New York Times devoted most of this week's Magazine to a pathetic anorexic. Who cares that one crazy starves herself while one billion people are actually starving. And this is the New York Times. We are onesie twosie people who are no longer relevant.
If Ozempic had not been invented our entire health care system would collapse in five years. NO one can dispute this since 65% are actually obese. Maybe we have to let Trump win and then address our failure since we never act prophylactively. All this phony liberals who say they will leave if he is elected don't want to recognize that he can because our "exceptional" American citizens are bad news.
