Life is funny. Under normal circumstances, Donald Trump would have been the crotchety guy down the street who always complains about his neighbors, and their kids. A harmless guy with little self awareness, whom some people tolerate, and others avoid. The brash talking uncle who is entertaining in small doses; but rarely taken seriously. Money and power elevated Mr. Trump from that more fitting existence to well known business personality. The thing is, money and power doesn’t explain Trump’s phenomenal rise to President of the United States. What happened? What is happening?
There are theories floating around, but none are encompassing enough. Some say Trump supporters are uneducated? Not true; and irrelevant, because you don’t need an education to know right from wrong. Are they are angry? That would explain wanting a change, but not choosing a villain. Mr. Trump’s rise is extraordinary and inexplicable, however the question for the ages will not be about the man, but the unlikely tenacity of his supporters.
The willingness of so many to accept our President’s penchant for lying, not to mention his obvious disdain for a large swath of Americans is fascinating and depressing. This President lies, bullies, advocates violence, is racist, misogynistic and uninformed. He shows no sign of wanting to be a public servant, but consistently, if not exclusively serves his own interests. This is notable, because his job is to do the exact opposite.
Trump’s unsuitability for his job is evident. His most egregious failures are not alleged, but documented. The problem is, we have lost sight of the big picture. We spend too much time on the why and how, while forgetting that all we really need to know is the what. Here’s the what, “He is unfit to be President”. He is not doing his job, and he and his are damaging our country in ways that will negatively affect our collective way of life for years to come.
At some point, we will all experience some negative effect from the policies advanced over the last two years. The remedy is to Vote Blue. We must vote out the people who have shown us repeatedly that their allegiance is not to this country, but to D.T. and their own interests. They treat the American public like an irritating distraction to be deceived and ignored. Save your future, and mine. Make sure you are registered and then go VOTE BLUE.
