There are now just five days to go before the midterm elections, and Donald Trump has never felt so threatened.
Polls suggest that he could lose control of the House and maybe even the Senate.
So he's pulling out all the stops.
And playing the racist card
It is outrageous what the Democrats are doing to our Country. Vote Republican now! https://t.co/0pWiwCHGbh pic.twitter.com/2crea9HF7G— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 31, 2018
With an ad so racist, it's reminding people of the infamous Willie Horton ad that George H.W. Bush used against Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential campaign.
Which also used racism as a weapon.
“This was a classic example of racial cuing,” Claire Jean Kim, a political-science professor at the University of California at Irvine, said in a 2012 PBS special. “The insinuation is, if you elect Governor Dukakis as president, we’re going to have black rapists running amok in the country. It’s playing to white fears about black crime.”
With some critics claiming that Trump's ad is worse.
And others pointing out that as usual Trump has his facts wrong.
But then of course he is desperate.
His plan to send 15,000 troops to the border to fend off a few thousand migrants hasn't caused enough panic, since the migrants are unarmed men, women, and children.
No matter how violent or dangerous the diseased maniac would try to make them.
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. military would treat any rocks or stones being thrown by asylum-seeking migrants slowly heading toward the U.S.-Mexico border as firearms.
And his vow to end birthright citizenship has been dismissed as unconstitutional.
So he is going back to his roots, to the theme of the first ad he used to launch his campaign for president.
And he remains what he has always been, a vile racist demagogue who is always trying to scare people into voting for him.
But who may with his latest ad, motivate even more Americans to vote against him.
Let's hope that decency will prevail, and that the monster will be neutered.
And let's all cheer the Great American Resistance as it moves forward to defeat him...
"Let's hope that decency will prevail."
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly Simon. That and let's hope that millenials get out and vote in numbers never seen before. Send Trump and his cauldron of hate a message of what awaits him in 2020, if he makes it that far.

Hi JD...At this point in history that's all I demand. That decency prevails, and that the Cons are buried in their own excrement. We all have only one life, and Cons like Trump and Scheer are doing their best to make it as cheap and as ugly as possible. We'd all be so much better off without them...
Delete"Consider rocks as firearms".....OMG!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen...I know, it's disgusting. Only a cowardly psychopath could threaten a harmless group of desperate people in such a manner...
DeleteAll Hail President Trump for life! The savior of the white race! You and your immigrants can fuck off to Scotland.
ReplyDeleteHi anon...If that orange lump of blubber is the saviour of the white race, we whiteys are in big trouble. And where did your ancestors come from Lower Slobbovia. Honestly Con try to raise yourself out of the gutter, and stop behaving like such a loser...
DeleteAmerica the world is watching.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve...Trump and his crime family don't care what others think of them, unless it's the police...
DeleteIt hasn't been a good week in Trumpland. White nationalist terrorists reclaimed the headlines rather than ISIS. Aged survival of the fittest supporters discovering that they are not all that fit and Trumps version of medicare will not cover all of their preconditions. Too early to declare a war somewhere as it might cut into money flow so an illegal immigrant who should have been jailed during the Bush years and a caravan of poor people fleeing gang violence will have to do.

Hi RT...As I wrote in my post, I hope that Trump is acting so despicably because he's so desperately afraid that the Democrats could seize control of Congress. But I don't think that will happen, and I just hope that Trump doesn't take that as a vote of confidence, and start acting like a full blown tyrant...
