DONALD TRUMP IS A DANGEROUS MAN AND THE WORLD IS DOZING

Phyllis Carter and Democracy Now! shared Democracy Now!'s post.

"Donald Trump is a narcissistic white supremacist, and... this whole idea of make America great... is all about making America great for a small group of people, generally, white males."

"Making America Great for White Males": Activist Responds as Trump Refuses to Disavow KKK Support

Over the weekend, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump refused to condemn endorsements from David Duke, prominent white supremacist.

Phyllis Carter Trump is a mad man. The real danger lies in the fact that his great wealth gives him enormous power and millions of fools are supporting him, just as the Germans followed Hitler in the 1930's when the world did not see him as a serious danger and refused to stop him in his tracks. I see men in white coats coming for Trump with restraints, Call it a vision or wishful thinking. Perhaps his bluster will do him in without anyone lifting a hand against him ... if there is a God in heaven who remembers the Holocaust and regrets his lack of intervention back then. Now would be a good time...

IS GOD "HE" OR THREE?

"Who has seen the wind ...?"

Having been granted a brain, methinks God is One. But if "He" wanted to be three or three million, "He" would be just that, because everything started with The Creator and "He" can do just as "He" pleases.

I don't know what all the fuss is about with all the religions and sects and sub-religions and cults. They are all the products of men's ideas and enforced by tyrants pretending to speak for God.

People managed to find a way to get around Mrs. and Miss to Ms. Can't we find another pronoun for The Creator?

Must "He" - who is neither him nor her, and yet both him and her - and not to be disrespectfully in human terms called "It" - be something other than "He"? "He" has many names in Hebrew, but in English and French and other languages, "He" seems to be lacking, somehow.

WHY ARE PEOPLE SUPPORTING TRUMP, KNOWING HE IS A FASCIST?

Robert Reich

Richmond, CA, United States

I keep getting asked if Donald Trump will survive his failure to disavow the Ku Klux Klan. Of course he will. His supporters don't care. They support him not because he's a conservative but because he's an authoritarian – someone who will bully and intimidate, and even use (or tolerate) violence, to get his way.

Trump's supporters have felt bullied for years by employers who treat them like horse manure, by politicians who take them for granted, by an economy that won't give them decent wages no matter how hard they work, by immigrants and minorities who appear to be driving down their wages and taking their jobs. And before that, they were probably bullied by teachers and parents who told them they would never amount to anything.

Now they've found their very own bully – and the meaner and more bigoted he is, the more they feel in control.

What do you think?
