(46 posts)Simple as that. Either you're for depravity and dictatorship OR you're for decency and democracy. Period. End . . . of . . . story.
Since Trump was christened by Russia to infiltrate the US political system, this has never been about traditional politics. It's been about the most fundamental issues of human existence: good vs. evil. And Trump's MAGA cult has chosen evil, over and over and over again, EVEN AFTER Trump tried to overthrow the US government be leading a violent attack against the US Capitol and saying his VP deserved to be hanged because he followed the Constitution, EVEN AFTER Trump stole thousands of pages of confidential and top secret documents and lied about, EVEN AFTER the Jan. 6 hearings in which many of his top admin officials swore under oath to his foolishness and treachery, EVEN AFTER Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of fraud. And it goes on and on and on and on and on . . .
Don't tell me, or any other decent human being, that this has ever been a political issue, that this has ever been about anything but Trump sanctifying ignorance, glorifying name-calling, modeling racism and sexism and sexual perversion. Trump made all the closet perverts feel like they had found their savior, and so they joined the MAGA cult.
It's an evil cult of racist thugs vs. decent human beings.
I grew up in a working class family. I know the difference between right and wrong, and that's all I've needed to know since Trump fell onto the scene. Voters had the most clear-cut choice for president in the history of the United States last November, and that choice had NOTHING to do with politics. You could vote for a convicted criminal, a pathological liar, a failed businessman who has gone bankrupt six times, a religious hypocrite, a racist, a sexist, an immature 80-year-old name-calling bully who publicly mocked a disabled reporter on national TV, an egomaniac who sides with fellow tyrants over his own country and its democratic allies OR you could vote for imperfect but decent human beings with proven intelligence, empathy, respect for the rule of law and the Constitution, respect for America's role in the world, and respect for our allies.
Good vs. Evil. And Evil won. That's the truth. That's what's happening. This is a moral and ethical crisis, not a political one, so there is no political solution.
