Have
you ever been told you couldn’t vote because you didn’t own property? Or that
because your grandfather didn’t vote prior to the civil war, you were ineligible?
How about being told you had to pass a literacy test in order to vote. Ever
been required to pay a poll tax before you were allowed to cast your ballot? Do
you know why you’ve never experienced such humiliation? It’s because blood was
spilled and people died in order to give you the right to vote. Donald Trump has unleashed an unfocused anger in the White
electorate. A desire to blame the "other"
that is both ugly and scary…and they would love it if you chose not to vote.
This man couldn’t pass a 6th
grade American Civics test but he knows he can control by placing blame on African-Americans,
Latinos, Muslims and other minorities. He has taken the uninformed and
instilled fear into them and he actively courts those who blame people of color
for their situation. You know them, the extremist, radical, ALT Right, Birther,
Tea Party, Evangelical, weapons of mass destruction carrying, anti-everyone
except white people Conservatives. Look, I know the Hitler comparisons abound
but I fear for America. If you took two minutes of your time and looked at how Hitler
controlled his country with hate and fear, look at how he began the movement with
Jew haters and then you really listened to Trump, you would fear for America
too. For those who say they won’t or can’t vote for Hillary, don’t vote for
her. Vote the party platform. A party platform which now includes much of
Bernie Sanders thoughts and ideas. Vote the party platform and make sure she’s
held accountable to it. And remember the next President could appoint as many
as three of the next Supreme Court Justices which will ultimately determine the
legal course of the country.
Donald Trump is like a huge orange asteroid
from some disaster film and he’s headed for earth. No matter how you may feel
about Hillary or the system, Trump is headed for earth. It’s not too late. It’s
time to wake up. It’s time to vote.
