That's the easiest question to answer that you have asked so far Dan, in my short time here. Unfortunately the answer is more disheartening than the question. Having lived on the Gulf Coast for more than half of my life I have struggled for years now to understand how Trump could gain so much power so quickly? I am surrounded by people who could only be described as cult members at this point as they see him as the second coming of Christ. I watched in horror as I lost a couple of my best friends to the hate that this man spreads. That's when I realized that the hate the people that follow him accept so much has always been there, he just made it ok for them to express it. For years now I thought the racist hatred that I grew up with here in Ms was going away and that the people here had really changed over the years but what has happened is they have gotten much better of hiding it to the point that they think if they smile in town and dont use certain words that they aren't even racist. Trump made them feel like their hate was acceptable to the point that I question the very humanity of the majority of the people that live around me.
I foolishly and against my better judgement actually tried to talk some sense into one of them recently. She said something that strikes to the heart of you question..."oh, they are ALL like that, every ONE of them.'' The followers of Trump have so little faith in their own government that reality no longer matters. They accept his behavior because they EXPECT his behavior and sadder still, they think so little of the rule of law and our Constitution that they actually RESPECT his behavior. You see, they don't believe that the rule of law or the Constitution is on their side. A horrific thought when you consider the implications and worse yet the consequences of this. I cower from the thought of how many lives this could cost when the most important document since the bible is cast aside as just some other tool of corruption to control them...take their freedom AWAY?!!! Easier to understand when you realize it's obvious to the world that the Supreme Court of our land has at least ONE member who is bought and paid for.
I'm old and don't matter much anymore but I do believe that living in a Republic with a democratic form of government that "we the people" get the government we deserve...If Trump wins the next election his followers will get just what they are asking for and may everyone's God help all the rest of us...we will need it.
Need it more than mankind ever has.
If we sit on our hands now and watch a butcher like Trump's pal Putin swallow Ukraine, it will only wet his appetite for more, with the rest of Europe to come under fire next. IF ANYone thinks that will not lead to humanity's worst nightmare then these truly are the...end of times.
Hey I live on the Ms. Gulf Coast and there are so few people I know that do not support Trump or agree with ANYTHING he says. I agree with you. Please let us pray that Trump does not win the election!!!
Linda...not only will a Trump supporter not care if Trump shoots someone on 5th Ave they won't care if he shoots THEM on 5th Ave. Their cult like conversion is total. It defies description. In some ways I hope Trump wins...these people deserver the nightmare their lives will become under him. I live in a 5 generation family home here, have loved it my entire life and spent that life looking forward to maintaining the habitat that so many native animals and plants depend until the day that I die here. Trump has forced me to make preparations to sell this place and walk on if he wins this fall. I will not live in this country under his dictatorship. I've already removed my name from the voter polls and were the Social Security Administration not holding so much of my money I would already have gotten another passport in a different country. Some people take :"we the people" more seriously than others. I refuse to have my name connected to any terrorist organization. Trump made us all terrorist and when the time comes that America will ever have to pay for the terror that he has caused in our name no one will be asking who was a Trump supporter or not...we will ALL pay for it. I've given up on' we' and have to live for 'me' now. I hope you are being careful letting others know how you feel. This area has centuries of proven social acceptance to violence against anyone that disagrees with them on political matters. I've already suffered considerable financial loss due to voicing my opinion. The title of HATE STATE has been well earned and worn proudly by Mississippi's citizens. I now have as little contact with this community here as possible.
