I Hate Donald Trump
I don't know Trump, not personally anyway. I know only what he says and does, and 99% of it is objectionable in the extreme. What I hate, if that's the proper word, is how he has given voice to the xenophobic population of our country, of how he has divided our country as never before.
People with small, bitter/hateful, self-serving minds have flooded to his cause, and much to my chagrin, there seems to be many of them. Many of these people have lived small lives. Never traveled, never seen what is on the other side of their city/community, much less their state or country. They simply live and think small. They have no notion for anything not them. Worse, they fear and hate anything not them, and to my way of thinking, that is 180 degrees out and totally inconsistent with what we are, or have espoused our country to be. It goes against our founding principles, against what I and many before me fought for.
Worse yet is that there are large numbers of people who follow and support him who have not lived small lives. These people are knowingly destroying our country with their greed, the self-serving, privileged actions and rhetoric.
It is a time I thought I would never see. I am ashamed of us as a country; but proud to stand against Trump and his followers, and ever will be. Time, reason and decency will prevail, of that I am certain. Until then I stand opposed to this man and his followers, totally, absolutely, and without equivocation.
I could go on and on, but I suspect you get what my thoughts are.
