Hemphill,
Like your professed political idol Donald Trump, it appears that you are obsessed with “winning”, and fail to recognize (or acknowledge) that this forum is a presentation of ideas, not some type of competition or zero sum game. If you insist on re-casting everything i write into your own misinterpretations, then this little back and forth has become too tedious and annoying to pursue. i’ll let my own words, not your misinterpretations thereof, stand for themselves so i have no reason to ‘squirm’ or be uncomfortable with the positions which i have articulated. i think we’ve come to our denouement here so i’ll offer my closing comments. First, let’s go to the brass tacks about Donald Trump.
It is a demonstrable fact that Donald Trump is a compulsive liar who invents whatever he feels like at any particular moment to fit his oration. In this respect, he’s much worse than presidents like Obama, Bush or Clinton, who, while also lying profusely, did so in a much more carefully-scripted, pre-meditated manner. (Frankly, Obama’s incessant lying drove me crazy and i did not think he could be outdone, but then life surprises us.) Many of the lies in Donald Trump’s litany of untruths are so patently absurd as to be laughable (and people do laugh).
That Donald Trump panders to the racist sentiment of a significant cohort of the U.S. population, and has the solid backing of professed racists and white supremacists is not a matter of opinion, conjecture or speculation; it’s a simple matter of fact which is readily apparent to, and acknowledged by, observers throughout the world, and even studied by political scientists. Heck, I know Aussies here who are quite proud of their own racism and love Donald Trump because he’s “their man” finally standing up for white supremacy. Nobody told them to think that; they just heard it in his words and saw it in his actions.
Splitting hairs as to whether a politician who condones racism among his constituents, with a wink and a nod through scapegoating diatribes, is REALLY A RACIST himself or just a politician CAPITALIZING ON RACISM, is an irrelevant nuance - he’s promoting it and fueling it so he might as well be one because -- even if he’s not and he’s only doing it for political gain -- the end result is the same : a more racist and divisive social environment. Donald Trump’s denials of harboring any racist or white supremacist sentiment are tongue-and-cheek at best –- he’s established a racist persona for himself throughout the world and if that really concerned him he’d do a lot more to try dispel that image. He’s obviously quite comfortable with it.
Given the forgoing, I think it’s a charitable analysis to conclude that many of Donald Trump’s followers are simply in denial. They want to find hope in the hopeless Babylonian political system and simply refuse to accept the fact that Trump serves the same masters as every other president (i.e., that he could not be serving as the president of the U.S. without receiving the blessing of the Babylon System and its elite controllers). Donald Trump is doing that elite’s bidding like the rest of the politicians, and it is sheer folly to think that satan’s minions at the helm of the Babylon System somehow woke up one day and said, “oh, damn, the People of America pulled a fast one on us and elected a guy who’s working against us so now we’ve got big problems!” Make no mistake, the Babylon System can DESTROY any human at any time (save One: His Majesty). No one, repeat, NO ONE attains high political office without the nod of concurrence coming from satan’s elite minions at the helm of the Babylon System. So naturally Donald Trump uses the tools of the devil -- he sows the seeds of racial divisiveness, and seeks to legitimize an arrogant rejection of social justice and charity toward the less fortunate among us.
Why would people embrace and advocate for a man like Donald Trump, who even a child can see is a megalomaniac and compulsive liar? i offer the charitable explanation that many people are just so desperate for hope in the cesspool that America has become that they immerse themselves in denial as to the man’s true nature. Personally, I pray that those in denial constitute the vast majority of his supporters and that only a small minority of them are those who are pretending not to see his malignant nature or are not intelligent enough to recognize it. Of course, there’s also the sad subset that says: “Sure, Trump’s an asshole, but so am I; it’s nice to finally be able to come out of the closet and proudly proclaim it.” Unfortunately, i know some guys like that also.
i am a RastafarI and have joyously professed my allegiance to His Majesty ever since the 1970s. I&i can state this with confidence: there are NO POLITICIANS working through the machinery of the Babylon System who are going to give us salvation, free the captives, lift the downpressed out of their repression and poverty, and force those guilty of crimes against humanity to face justice. His Majesty’s Power, which is Mighty and Awesome -- and easily capable of giving us JAH Victory again and again -- is not given to politicians or billionaires, but to the meek, the poor, the victims and the sufferers.
IN THE NAME OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY JAH RASTAFARI
