Trump’s appeal.
It’s not all about him
Donald Trump loves to strut around like an egotistical fool thinking it’s all about him. But, his appeal is not really about him. It’s about racism, sexism, anti-semitism, and every intolerant “ism” you can imagine.
The people who live to hate would support any candidate or any party that promotes division and hatred. These are the same people who waged a war against the nation’s first African American president, Barack Obama. They are now ready to block the first female president.
The divisions Trump’s supporters foolishly seek would weaken this country from within and could only benefit the likes of a Putin, Iran or ISIS. But bigotry and common sense often cancel each other out.
Indeed, Trump’s appeal isn’t about his qualifications, his shady deals, his tax dodging, his insulting veterans, his treatment of women and people of color. His supporters couldn’t care less about those issues. They care about their hate, and Trump is popular with them because he has become the flagbearer of hatred in this country. Fortunately, this country has far more good people than bad.
All decent Americans should get out and vote, not just against Trump, but against all the Republican senators and representatives who endorsed him.
Lyrics from the movie South Pacific about hate.
written by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
“You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!”
