Showing Original Post only (View all)I hope we have a Democratic President in 2028, and that he / she revokes Trump's Secret Service protection immediately [View all]
Here's the context and the reason for this post:
I GET IT.
Trump HATES Kamala Harris because she is:
1). A WOMAN. Not a Fox "News" woman. Not Elaine Stefanik, the girl who never got asked to the prom, but who thinks she is Pinky Tuscadero in the Fonzie world of Donald Trump. Not Kari Lake or Marjorie Taylor Greene or Mary Ann With The Shakey Hand (Boebert).
She's a woman who represents Trump's worst nightmare...she does not stand in awe of Trump's meticulously manufactured false facade. She sees what the average DUer sees...a 79 year old man who is an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon. A man who buried his dead first wife on his golf course to score a tax break. A man who wants to "date" his own daughter. A man with six bankruptcies who cheated on all three of his marriages. A man who bought an autographed Tim Tebow helmet and a portrait of himself with money raised by his "charity," the same "charity" that helped itself to money raised for kids with cancer.
Kamala Harris DOES NOT SIT in awe and wonder, staring for hours at AI-generated "paintings" of Trump, shirtless, with tree-trunk bixeps, six-pack abs, and impossibly hard, perfect, symmetrical pecs.
She sees the tired old man on the golf course with a huge spare tire and sagging man boobs.
And because she's not cruel and inhuman like Trump, she SEES it...as we ALL DO...and doesn't say much about it, because America faces a MUCH GREATER CHALLENGE on a daily basis than confirming that Trump just had a successful bowel movement.
AND, you'll notice I haven't addressed ETHNICITY yet.
2). It's not the idea that I've written many DU posts about Trump's lifelong history with racism. It's the idea that no one needs me to tell the story. It's a couple of mouse clicks away for anyone who wants it.
Suffice it to say that Trump's WORST NIGHTMARE is a woman who meets the criteria I just described in #1 and #2.
She's not weak and submissive like Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, and any other African American man who TRULY believes their fealty to Trump will be RICHLY REWARDED. Last time I looked, it's the end of August, and neither of them have gotten anything of value from Dear Leader.
So this small, petty man, consumed with hate, breaks precedent once again and removes her Secret Service protection right before some high-profile public appearances.
Now is not the time to say "WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS"...not 8 months into Trump's insanely destructive second term.
No.
WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE BETTER THAN THIS. We have the ability to choose a more noble and suitable fate than the one chosen by 77 million Americans, and another 90 million who STAYED HOME last November.
The best thing about those "YOU ARE HERE" maps in shopping malls is that if "HERE" ain't where y'all want to be, YOU CAN MOVE YOUR ASS TO A BETTER PLACE.
I know Kamala has the strength and dignity and grace to understand how and why this happened to her.
And it sickens me to have the same insight. It's wrong, and that's what tickles Trump the most.
