Scary . . . but true.

Thank you, Rose, for such a thought-provoking analysis.  

We cannot and must not allow this disease to fester and engulf us.  We are better than that!

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

Mr. Trump’s repeated use of the phrase “America First”  is repugnant to those of us who are aware that when employed in his blindly hyper-nationalistic manner it smacks of the America First movement prior to World War II begun by our own homegrown anti-Semites and fascists.

None of Trumps actions heretofore have indicated in any way that he wishes to do anything but milk the polarization that already exists in this country to his own benefit. I thought his speech antagonistic in its delivery. The question of whether people voted for him or for change in general is a debatable one, but I do tend to think that much of the core of his numbers was a middle finger to what they saw as establishment Washington. I don't believe they are going to get what they bargained for with this support, as the problems that exist are not ones he can rectify even if he does have the best of intentions. Joblessness and the floundering of the working class are not due to some plot by educated elitists, but by automatization. And yes, part of the actual fear generated in me by that speech was because of the nasty behaviour, the racism, the lashing out of the populists and what they often tend to represent. He did not win anyone over with that rhetoric. All I could think of was the "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" scene in Cabaret. “
