Now that the GSA woman has ascertained the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President and Vice President Elect, let me have a go at the 73+ million.
Hillary Clinton, in 2016 called Donald Trump’s supporters “deplorables” and walked it back. Well...
There may be a minute number among you who are innocent and ignorant because Fox News is your only source of information. And there may be another small number who are deathly fearful of family members if you vote otherwise. Suffer the fools and wounded. You are the .1%.
And then there are those of you who fear that the liberal Democrats will stack the courts, destroying your conservative values that trump everything: pro-life, anti gay marriage, anti rights of immigrants, and the big one, Christianiy and morals, all while your leader has none. You are so blinded by your conservatism that you can't look outside of it.
How do you hide behind your church and vote for Trump? For the love of God, please tell me, show me one, just one redeeming quality of Donald Trump. Just one, I beg. One god-like quality. One. One that goes along with the good book that you preach and teach. It’s the immorality withn you that allowed you to look past his racism, his misogyny, his xenophobia, homophobia, hate for Muslims, his lack of regard for the disabled, his disrespect for women, his lack of morals, the words he use publicly which are heard by children and grannies. Which is your preferred word or term? - pussies, shit hole, sons of bitches...? Which image is seared in your memory? - babies in cages, body bags in refrigerated trucks or maybe it was the photo op of the Bible held upside down in front of a church? I am still waiting for that one redeeming quality. One.
And you the immigrant, the woman, the Black man who voted for him in numbers. Some of you within the immigrant community were scared of socialism, but not the dictatorship and facism he breathes. White women, his grabbing women by their genitals and the number of women accusing him of inappropriate and unwanted sexual contact don't disgust you? His walking in front of his wife and not helping her down stairs don't give you pause? You, the Black man, I can't even fathom your reasoning. I heard the only Black man in the senate talk about going from the cotton field to congress. Neither Trump nor his Make America Great Again, did that for him. And then there is the D.A. in Kentucy who tells us he is Black, like we don't see it, like we don't see his TOMfoolery. Trump hates you and you love him. That's self-hatred.
So, you are a hardline Republcan and have to vote the party. How on God’s earth, did you, do you choose him as your leader? What is it about him that enamor him to you? Is it his philandering ways? Is it the constant lies? What about his tax cheating? Is it his hatred of Black people, especially the first Black President whose name he calls out every moment he gets? Is it his friendship with the Putins and Kim Jung-uns of the world? Is it the fact that he caused the death of over 250,000 people with the Trump virus? Or the fact that nothing sticks - teflon Don? Have you noticed that those around him fall one after the other, and he just steps over them and walks away unscathed? Is that who you look up to?
The economy, stupid, you say. He made America great again. So, what you are saying is you don’t care, it’s the means to the end. Whatever it takes to line your pockets. It was the economy 400 years ago which drove the slave trade, and the great America today which makes its rich richer and keeps its poor downtrodden. Make America Great Again. Really!
There are those of you who are on the low end of the 99%. He boasts in his rallies that he is rich. And you are among the throngs of people worshipping him. He tried to take away your health care, yes Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act that many of you use. He told you not to wear masks. Be free. And you are there in the crowd, maskless, with many of you contracting the disease and dying. He says he had COVID and received special medication and treatment. What about you? You continue to fawn because his hateful message reaches your heart, even if it sickens your body or kills you.
Oh, it’s the numbers of people he brought to the party. What people - the hate mongers, white supremacists, nativists, neo nazis, proud boys? All these “fine” people are a part of your party and you are ok with it, so ok that you stood and stand with him? What does it say about you? What does it say about those of you in leadership roles in the Senate, those of you on his team gawking at and bowing to him? To me it says you are one and the same. You are those "fine" people - hoods in the dark and suits in the light. But then again, you no longer even have to hide. Trump has made it cool to be hateful.
No, it's none of that, you say, it's just that you bleed red and could never vote for Biden. Trust me, he was not the first choice for many of us. But Biden is no Trump. You, though, were able to cover your nose, eyes, ears, feelings to the stench that is Donald Trump. There were those in your party for whom the stench was too much to bear and they chose to walk away from Trump, not the party. You could have done the same, voted red, down ballot. Why didn't you take their lead?
What about you Dems who crossed over? You thought a Donald Trump was your best choice? Say what? For you, amplify all I said above.
Trump is not just a narcisist. He is a wanna be despot, a demagogue. He is evil. Period.
So almost 74 million, who and what are you really?
