The Trump Blog I Shouldn’t Have Had To Write


I have heard politicians, news channels and exaggerators compare different public figures to Hitler SO MANY TIMES that it has become a disgusting cliché.  However in my opinion there is finally a person in the U.S. somewhat worthy of that horrendous comparison.  Donald Trump is a ridiculous, cartoon of a human who is using an angry and frustrated group of people to create fear and blame.  Hate leads to the dark side, as they say, and the dark side type person might (for example) suggest a registry of certain religious groups.

                Let’s get this straight; Donald Trump will never win the presidential election.  He has made a joke of our political system and would obviously damage our national reputation.  In one way and one way only do I appreciate him:  maybe the problems with our two party political system are now more visible so we can attempt to remedy them.  However his damage is corrosive.  Donald has given a voice to grumbly white people who feel they have been forced into the super straight closet.  Angry, homophobic, racist, anti-feminist, xenophobic bigots who were exposed as ridiculous are finding their renewed voice in Trump’s rhetoric.  However what they don’t realize is that their own beloved candidate is using them.  When your candidate states that he could quite literally go into the streets and commit unprovoked homicide and then his supporters would still love him…that is NOT a compliment.  He is blatantly saying that you are so blindly enthralled with his crazy you don’t care what level of horrible he achieves.  He is Suzanne Stone in “To Die For” and you are the naïve teenagers that killed his husband because you love his crazy.  If you haven’t seen that movie then stop reading this and go watch that…we can talk later.

                Illegal immigration isn’t affecting your job prospects, no one has taken your guns, gay marriage hasn’t changed your straight marriage and Obama hasn’t hurt your feelings however badly you might think he has.  Unfortunately for bigots though, your hypocrisy has in fact been exposed as of late.  However instead of attempting to vote another Hitler into office, maybe you could take a step back, take responsibility for your life, remember repeating history can be bad and recognize that prejudice never wins in the end. 

For comparison sake: Jesus had good hair and no money.  So The Donald isn’t your savior, he is the opposite…
