the nature of cult leaders, bigots and fascists
is to provoke and incite the masses
they can fill people’s hearts and minds very easily
with hatred and anger in no time at all
by their charisma, faulty rhetoric and more
their goal is to gain increasing power
by taking control over the minds of the populace
Trump is trying to do the same
what he probably fails to understand is that
once the anger and hatred are unleashed
these emotions will not die silently
but will look for outlets
very possibly can create tragedies of
death, destruction, and disaster on a grand scale
that Trump will not be able to control, as history shows us
the fascists, the cultists, the racists,
the misogynists, bigots, and nationalists of yester-years
Trump sees himself as the US white supremacist emperor
and openly and vociferously exhibits this when
he targets racist tirade against 4 congresswomen of color
he tells them, to go back to their countries
Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, AOC, Ilhan Omar
all of them are US citizens
who have put their life on the line for the people
and have responded strongly and fearlessly
in spite of being the recipients of unbelievable vitriol
from the powerful leader of their country
they have not let fear keep them from doing what is right
in a rally, Trump lets loose his hatred against Omar
his supporters shouted: “send her back,” send her back,” …
he paused his speech until the chants died down
his white color permits Trump to spew hatred
against mainly minorities that he targets
the majority of the population is white in the United States
majority is considered right – even if it is totally wrong
one cannot help but wonder …
what will happen to these congresswomen
nothing very good can be seen on the horizon =
how will such hate and anger subside
will it, as it often does, lead to violence?
will it subside after acts of tragedy?
or will run its natural course of immense harm?
