his bills, and failing at everything he attempted. But he finally found his niche...government. Because there are millions of people (white people mostly) that are racists, bigots, homophobes, and phony Christians he hit the jackpot.
Any white person that grew up in the South, especially 50s and 60s knows the attitudes towards minorities....hatred, pure ass hatred. And although it was masked by white dominated society through things like religion, masons, eastern star, and employment discrimination it was soooo obvious.
And it is generational - many taught their children to hate, still do. The scope of their hatred now has expanded because of the huge influx of immigrants. Many people do not realize that in 1950, when I was born, the white population of America was 90%. And although the South was only about 75% the black population "knew their place", was truly on the other side of the tracks, and did not dare mingle with the dominant white population.
Trump grew up in that era, and although many people like myself got to know blacks, gays, at work a little and stopped attending the segregated church realized how hateful and awful the minority population was being treated...
That is the America that Trump is trying to recreate again, and admittedly he is doing a pretty good job of it. It is hard to believe the daily digression we see in our government and the silence of our representative government....but it is very real.
And it is scary...because I have seen it before...it can happen again..
Vote Blue and realize the Democratic Party is a big tent that accepts those that might not think exactly alike but have morals, integrity, and just want a better life for themselves and their families. ☮
