It is
Already Working.
I recently got the above issue of Esquire with Donald Trump on the
cover in the mail. The article inside is pretty spot on regarding what he is doing to
the gullible people in this country and I have a personal experience to show
it.
It is not a secret that this is a political year and I have
recently been bombarded (carpet bombed???) on Facebook by all kinds of images
either promoting the crazies in the GOP circus or disparaging the Democrats. I
am writing this on the day after the GOP debate in South Carolina and the thing
that I can’t understand is how the bully Trump, who was soundly booed for his
behavior, is still leading in the polls there. Incredible.
Now I am all for adult debate on the issues but it seems
there are people on the right who either send out ridiculous images or outright
lies and present them as if they are uncontroverted facts. I recently saw one
where there was an image of Hillary side by side with an image of a brown paper
bag. The text attached said something along the lines of “Hillary…A Bag of Shit…
Can You Tell the Difference?” How does one debate that? There are other times
that falsehoods or misrepresentations are presented as fact and at least in
that case you should be able to present your side of the story. However, in the
current atmosphere where the flames of hatred are being fired up by the likes
of Trump, Cruz, Rubio, et al, you need to watch out. I recently tried to, what
I thought was merely provide the opposite opinion of things I thought were
presented unfairly and I went to the trouble of researching and providing links
to articles where I felt these things were being disproved. You would not
believe the firestorm I provoked, however. I was called some pretty nasty
things, summarily un-friended and then, when I tried to again do the adult thing and explain that what
I was doing was debating the issues, I was then called
insulting and profane names and accused of harassment.
This is the environment that is being provoked by this
hateful man and, apparently he doesn’t even need to be elected, he is already
having the effect he wants and it is all really to satisfy the egomaniacal,
narcissistic carnival barker he is. IMHO, of course…
