There is no norm, tradition, or law that Trump isn't willing to break to advance himself. That he makes others do it along side of him (or for him) makes it all the more a cult of personality. He stands for nothing. Believes in nothing. Will defend nothing.He cares naught about the people he was put in office to support and defend.
He is a morally bankrupt individual. He is a psychopath.
I was both right and wrong about choosing not to watch the RNC. I was right insofar as it protects my stomach from the nausea, acids and bile that would pour in from the endless stream of lies and hate that would most certainly be on constant display. But I was wrong because I miss the moment and history of now. To bear witness to the attempt of wholesale and wanton destruction of the grand experiment that is the democracy of the United States of America.
If we can successfully relegate him to only four years, we have a chance for renewal and rebuilding our laws, agencies, institutions, and sense of well-being about ourselves as Americans. His defeat must be obvious and complete. There need be a full-throated rejection of his brand of governance here on our shores. His demagoguery is not what my American brethren have fought and died for. It isn't what we intend to support when we pledge allegiance to the flag.There is nothing patriotic about it. The most patriotic act we all have left is the vote. It is imperative that we do. It is a necessity that calls forth a type of bravery many of us may not know we even posses. We cannot rely on others to carry the banner in our stead. It is now incumbent on all of us to rally those we know to fight this fight. Vote. Your life, livelihood, and family depend on it. Reality supersedes hyperbole, embellishment or exaggeration. In other words, we are living through that which we could not make up or imagine.
Please help. The bells are ringing. The alarms are sounding. All hands on deck.
