Are you scared?\u00a0 The GOP Candidate is terrifying to me.\u00a0 He sounds like Hitler before he became the killer.\u00a0 He spews hate speech. He acts like a child who misbehaves to get attention. He recently said he would hit someone so hard their head would spin.\u00a0 Bullying language!\u00a0 He claims he wants to make “America great again”, but what he really means is he want to take us back to a time when only certain portions of the population had a say, reaped the benefits, and held all others down in the process.\u00a0 He wants it to be a man’s world, a white world, a straight world, a wealthy man’s world, a world where only a few prosper on the backs of others and those “others”\u00a0 have no say.\u00a0 It was horribly wrong back then, even though they got away with it, but it is sinfully wrong today where women, people of all ethnic and racial backgrounds, and\u00a0 people of many religious convictions are finally getting recognized as what they are – citizens of the United States of America.\u00a0 It is time to accept that we are all Americans and we all have rights according to our constitution (with amendments that spell it out). He will bully other nations too.\u00a0 We don’t want or need that in a president.<\/p>\n
Scarier still – the number of people who are rallying around this bully.\u00a0 We knew there was systemic racism, though we hoped that it was changing for the better. Donald has revealed a deeply racist part of our society that has always been there but seemed to be decreasing.\u00a0 He has revealed sexism, gender bias,\u00a0 homophobia, and transphobia.\u00a0 He espouses xenophobia.\u00a0 He is a fear monger of highest degree.\u00a0 He tells these people to be afraid, that all these factions are out to get them.\u00a0 He goes to the core of their fears that they personally will not be able to thrive if any of THEM <\/em>are allowed to thrive.<\/p>\n What is sad is that, contrary to that way of thinking, when we join together we can all thrive because we build each other up. Those at the top like the Billionaire GOP candidate benefit greatly from the rest of us fighting each other because if we are keeping each other down, the wealth flows to them. This is what Jesus fought for.\u00a0 Recognition of the human being for everyone. Respect, care for basic needs, a voice, support for a decent life, where everyone could live healthy and productive lives. Do they really want a dictator?\u00a0 I think they believe they will prosper with someone like this because they are like him but maybe that’s what Hitler’s followers believed.<\/p>\n This is so important for our country where we could be even greater if we cared for all our citizens.\u00a0 If we stop blaming each other and trying to ban entire groups, we can come together to find those who mean to do us harm.\u00a0 If we are fighting each other we play right into the hands of the real enemy.\u00a0 Hatred spawns hatred.\u00a0 Together we can fight terrorists, apart we are going to be victims of the same. Hatred will lead to more terrorist activity.\u00a0 Love and care for one another make us stronger against all this negativity and able to help in the fight against terror.<\/p>\n I pray that we realize this.\u00a0 What I heard at the RNC made me nervous and scared to my core.\u00a0 What I heard at the DNC gave me hope.\u00a0 It was good to hear that there are people who understand the real problems in the USA and are willing to move us in a direction that will help improve our lives.\u00a0 Yes, OUR lives not just the few at the top but all of us.\u00a0 I pray that those who are afraid of losing what they have if someone else gets what they need, will stop and think about it.\u00a0 The biggest danger to middle class is the greedy 1%.\u00a0 Believe me, they have no intention of sharing that with anyone.\u00a0 Our greatest hope lies in our willingness to join together to build a stronger middle class, and make a way for poorest to enter into that.\u00a0 Hold the richest among us to paying their fair share and participating in making the whole country better for everyone.\u00a0 After all who needs a fourth jet or another villa when anyone in the country is hungry?\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 There is enough wealth in this country so that we don’t have to see anyone hungry or homeless, sick without care or suffering for lack of basic comforts.\u00a0 When the Kochs (for example) can flitter away millions to buy elections, they can afford to pay more taxes to alleviate\u00a0 the struggle for hard working people who just can’t make ends meet.\u00a0 That’s just human decency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you scared?\u00a0 The GOP Candidate is terrifying to me.\u00a0 He sounds like Hitler before he became the killer.\u00a0 He spews hate speech.
