Our Need to Defend our American Form of Constitutional Government

  

 

Without a sense of caring for one another, there can be no sense of community. Caring requires honesty and compassion to exist. If we are not honest, we are not able to relate to others with a true sense of being present. 

 

With Trump we have someone who gets great satisfaction out of creating conflict,  and chaos.  He purposely does things that evoke fear and a sense of helplessness in others. His is an endless assault on the peace of mind of members of our American family and for our allies around the world. He is someone who cannot be believed because he never says the truth about what he is doing, what he has said or what is going on in his life.

 

He continually takes on the role of the one who has been abused and is constantly seeking retribution against those whom he perceives as trying to hurt him. He famously cries foul to this day, in his belief, that he was robbed during the 2020 Presidential election against Biden, when no fraud was found to be present in the election process. Mixed in his approach to reality is a kind of paranoia that everything that can turn against him will turn against him. His demand for loyalty, on the part of those who work for him, is cut from this fabric. Those who work for him are sworn to a loyalty toward him and not toward the Constitution. 

 

To Trump, the American Way of life seems to be against him. Anything that he feels is against him becomes part of his ‘hit list.’ He wants to eliminate basic American beliefs and practices. He wants to do away with Social Security, Medicare, public education, public services to those in need for food, medical care, and shelter. He wants to eliminate living support and medical services for veterans whom he refers to as ‘losers and suckers.’ He wants to do away with public school libraries, Affirmative Action, as well as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. He eliminates thousands of workers in a single ‘executive order.’ Often the people who he eliminates are essential to a particular field’s safe functioning. He eliminated scientists who are essential to the safe maintenance of our nuclear Programs. He has eliminated thousands of people in the field of national forests, cancer research programs, the providing of food for the starving within our shores as well as in other poverty-stricken parts of the world.

 

He wants to eliminate immigrants to the United States because he believes that immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of the people.’ He wants to round up anyone who is not white and have them removed from our communities, even if they areAmerican Citizens.  He wants to prevent children who are born in the United States from automatically becoming American Citizens. He wants to make voting more difficult for non-whites during various election cycles.

 

Trump also supports White Christian Nationalism. He holds racist positions regarding anyone who is not white, particularly white males. This belief on his part helps to give meaning to his disdain for immigrants and others who are not white males.

 

He views women as inferior to men. He views women as eye candy and as sexual objects for men to enjoy and those who are responsible for procreation.

 

 

He also gives evidence of being intellectually challenged. This was   demonstrated in two specific instances. During the COVID Pandemic testing became an essential practice to determine if someone had contracted the virus or not. In a speech he indicated that ‘we need to do less testing, and, in that way, he asserted that fewer people would have contracted the virus.’ 

 

His second example of a limited capacity to deal with essential issues, shows itself in his insistent pushing of tariffs as a center piece in our economic system. The problem with tariffs is that they exact an increased tax on average citizens through the citizen paying for the higher fee that a tariff would require. It has been estimated the Tariff taxes for an average family would increase to nearly 6,000 a year. What is concerning in this is the fact that Trump fails to see Tariff’s as increasing the taxed amount that families would be forced to pay. To Trump, Tariffs would not raise taxes, when in fact they will.

 

He is classified by members of the psychiatric and psychological community as being a ‘sociopath,’ someone who has no regard for the needs and feelings of others. He is also considered a pathological liar, a misogynist and a xenophobic. He has been determined by such professional groups as being unfit for the Oval Office. He lacks the sense of caring for others that is essential for creating and sustaining a community. 

 

It has been shown that Trump is a threat to our continuing to function as a Constitutionally based government of the people, by the people and for the people. He wants to do away with a government with checks and balances, a government where everyone is protected with equal rights before the law and courts and where everyone has a right to vote and to have their vote and perspective counted. Our time has come to follow our path with heart and to assert our support for continuing to have a government 

that cares for the needs and feelings of we, the people.

 

 

 

 

 

Dumb Donald the Destroyer Enjoys Causing Conflict, Confusion, and Chaos.

  He enjoys destroying ways of life and programs that have been created to sustain life, to enhance and protect basic values, and to provide our citizens with the means of making it through times of hardship. He wants to destroy programs that provide veterans with essential medical care and employment. He wants to destroy social security, Medicare. He cares not about providing necessary nutritional support for the poor, the elderly, for children who would otherwise starve. He fails to see public education as providing children and the families of children with essential services to provide food, educational development, and a means to prepare for adult life.

The Constitution spells out our national values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of fulfillment. It is a life where we are all created equal before the law and where we have the right to vote and have our vote counted for the candidates and programs that we feel are in the best interest of all our American Family. Our programs and way of life ensure that neither race, sex nor any other aspect of life can serve to prevent our right to live and seek fulfillment in life. Rather than creating a survival of the fittest environment, we have a focus on providing for the welfare and meeting the need of all our people.

 

Dumb Donald the Destroyer could care less about meeting the needs and respecting the feelings of our community of fellow citizens. He is a ‘sociopath’, and he behaves as a

Sociopath behaves. In addition, he is a pathological liar, someone who cannot be trusted to tell the truth. His thinking is often incoherent as is his speech. 

 

Cognitively, his handling of the Pandemic reveals his limited thought process. In a speech he indicated that with the testing of COVID, many people have been shown to have come down with the COVID virus. His solution for this would be to cut back on the large number of people who are being tested, so that it can be shown that fewer people would have contracted the virus.

 

Again, with his limited critical thinking and obsession with Tariffs, Dumb Donald the Destroyer blindly pushes on in destabilizing the economies of the world order. It has been written that the cause of all suffering is ignorance. Trump’s obsession with pushing ahead with promoting trade wars will, sadly, highlight this truth.

 

Cory Booker’s historic speech before the Senate Chamber demonstrates how powerful it can be for one person to do their part in speaking truth to power. Our opportunity, as citizens of the American Family, is to speak our truth to power. I do this through writing and keeping up with what is going on in today’s world. May we each find our ‘path with heart’ to follow. And to barrow from another historical time, ‘let’s keep the faith.
