Don't let Donald Trump become U.S. President!
Trump is a hateful, divisive, tyrannical fearmonger, and should not even be considered for our nation's highest office. Do not let him near the White House.
Why is this important?
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
This poem was written by Pastor Martin Niemoller about the Nazis in World War II.
Adolph Hitler harangued against the Jews for years before he took control of Germany. He repeated his lies about Jewish "power" until people them and let his Nazi stormtroopers murder six million.
In Donald Trump I see frightening similarities. Trump is spreading lies about Mexicans and undocumented aliens in the United States. In his increasingly hysterical comments, a thread of truth may be twisted and exaggerated. If you listen, there’s not much substance to his rants, mainly attempts to get people both afraid of his targets and to hate them. Hitler tested his poison gas on disabled persons.
Trump pokes fun of the disabilities of reporter Serge Kovaleski. He is also aiming his barbs at Muslims, with threats to register to keep track of them. Would he next require all Muslims in America to wear yellow patches?
Think about what Pastor Niemoller said. If we don’t stand up for the disabled, the Mexicans and undocumented, and Muslims in our midst, who’s next?
I worry about whom he will go after next.
Don’t you?
What if he were President?
