I voted already. I am going to be a poll observer in Florida, so I voted here. But, I cannot tear myself away from the horrible Trump train wreck. I just hope that through his horrible conduct, this scorched earth tactics, and his total lack of respect for large segments of the population, if not all of humanity, we learn a lesson. I hope we are horrified by this wretch of a human being and we realize that he is not who we are.
Women should not be judged by how large their breast are. Grabbing a woman's crotch without her consent is a crime. We are more than the sum of our parts, literally. African-Americans are not thugs condemned to live in "inner cities" where they constantly must dodge their own bullets. Latinos and Latinas are hard-working, decent, and kind human beings by nature, just as are the majority of the rest of usl
Most people are good and kind and deserve our trust and respect. Most others are honorable unless they prove otherwise. We must see the best in others, not the worst. We must teach our children to help others, not to bully them. We have our differences, and our differences are what teaches us to grow and accept others.
We must fight bigotry, whether that fight amounts to going to the polls, or legally fighting against the racial and sexual bullying. We must set examples of tolerance, humility, and charity. I believe Americans are essentially kind, caring and have moral values. We are strong and self-assured and need not denigrate others to nurse our egos. That is characteristic of Trump and his ilk, not us.
Trump is a test of our character and our resolve and we will pass this test. We are better than the horrible America he sees. We will survive this election and grow and learn from this. We are better than this. Trump is a cult-like leader who will lose. I know Americans are decent, compassionate and generous. I know that the kind, decent, caring people of this country will continue. We are a country of immigrants. We take in, "your tired, your poor, your yearning to be free."
He truly, absolutely is the scariest and, at this moment, as you said, most dangerous person on the planet.

ReplyDeletebjohn, what is the point of your comment?
ReplyDeleteHow do you imagine that mocking Clinton helps dispel the images of Trump mocking a woman with disability?
How does mocking African Americans make Trump's supporters seem less racist?
How does your bullying make Trump seem less like a bully?
How does posting your misogynist comment on a woman's blog make Trump seem less like a misogynist?
How does your comment save the Republican Party from its spiral of self-destruction?
Lynne's post was intelligent & thoughtful. How does your comment compare?

ReplyDeleteI have deleted a number of comments. I am not going to tolerate ignorant, obscene or vicious comments. It's my blog, and I can do what I want. My blog is a "no cowardly or anonymous bigot zone." If you don't like it, write your own blog and sign your name.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Good for all of us. Either we shed light or we don't. Kudos.
DeleteHe won.... America is not as good as you think. We put on a fake smile and act like we are moral but we arn't and never have been. But i dont see why hillary is any better an option anyway. She openely promotes rape and sexual assaults by continuing her marriage with bill Clinton.
