“…these people look very trashy.” — Trump observing the rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021

“I don’t care about you. I only want your vote. I don’t care.” – Trump

Things are upside down in America when Billy Graham, Jr. and other millionaire protestant preachers of the so-called evangelical churches do the indefensible by supporting, venerating and advocating for Trump’s return to the White House. So much for organized Christian religion.

Trump is a convicted felon, philanderer, rapist, racist bigot, pathological liar, is incurious, uneducated, ignorant, irreligious, a draft dodger, mocks the military, evades paying taxes and is a failed businessman. He orchestrated an insurrection to overturn the 2020 election he lost. Is there anyone else who is more un-American and who is unfit for the presidency?

First it was Hillary and now Kamala Harris has lost presidential elections against this abomination. How could this be? Women leaders are not uncommon. There is a long list of accomplished educated women who are heads of state in countries around the world. Why not Hillary? And now; why not Kamala?

I’ll tell you why: 73 million people with the majority in the red states would rather have someone like Trump with all of his bigotry, misogyny, scandals, insecurities and malignancies serve as president a second time than to have a Black woman to serve as the next president despite the long list of Republican White House insiders like Kelly, Bolton, Esper, Coats, et. al, who gravely publicly warned voters to not vote for Trump.

Where are all of the election deniers protesting the election results now? Why aren’t Trump lawyers scrambling in court to challenge elections results and the reliability of voting machines? Silence.

Double standards, hypocrisy, patriarchy, misogyny and modern-day Jim Crow continues to rear its ugly head in America. Trump supporters should be careful what they ask for. We are about to enter a Twilight Zone Alice in Wonderland America for the next four years (if Trump lives long enough). Hold on.

Trivia: I just learned that Elon Musk was an illegal immigrant here in America at one time. He failed to return to his country when his visa expired. Another example of how there are a different set of rules and standards if one is wealthy and white. Trump would ignorantly say “they let you do it.”
