Give me your Anglo-Saxons, your moneyed few, your cuddled masses yearning to invest, the pampered rich of your teeming shore. Send these, the Christian, righteous free to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! <\/p>\n
Well, what did you expect when we voted in a playboy billionaire TV reality show huckster? You thought maybe a compassionate conservative? A thousand points of light? You figured this narcissistic braggart liar would reach down to the poor, the huddled masses here and beyond? Did you actually buy what he was selling? You think maybe immigrants would be the new Apprentice?<\/p>\n
What he\u2019s selling is a country that prefers whites over people of color, men over women, rich over poor, the powerful over the weak. He\u2019s not interested in equality. Or democracy. Or the rule of law. He\u2019s promoting the law of the jungle, dog eat dog, lie through your teeth, attack those who disagree with you. He\u2019s Old White School, through and through. His vision for America is a sea to shining sea with Trump Towers stretching to the farthest horizon. Gold is his color, not purple mountains majesty. He\u2019s unread, he\u2019s undisciplined, he\u2019s mean as a junkyard Doberman. He\u2019s a racist, a misogynist, an elitist, a greedy little leech and he\u2019s good, very good, at self-promotion. He may not fool all of the people all of the time, but he\u2019s hoodwinked enough to get himself elected dictator of America. <\/p>\n
He promotes conspiracy theories, dismisses science and facts, mocks anyone who gets in the way of his reflection in his mind\u2019s mirror. He is without policy, without ideas, without thoughtful analysis, without much of anything outside the narrow range of his greed and his ambition. He claims to be the Master of the Deal, he purports to be one of the richest men in the world, he brags that his brain is one of the biggest. He admires dictators and thugs. <\/p>\n
But in truth, as if anyone can handle the truth anymore, he\u2019s a cheap thug, a fraud and a phony, a man who declares bankruptcy then brags at the savings, a rich guy who wouldn\u2019t want you to see his balance sheet, a high stakes gambler with someone else\u2019s money and a politician without a clue. <\/p>\n
They say a country gets the leader it deserves. What a wretched state of affairs\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
