Opposing Trump From Within

ALL ACROSS AMERICA'S fruited plain republicans are organizing manpower and money to help get Donald Trump unelected in November. At least three distinct groups have already organized, all replete with high powered Republican talent and funding. One group is being put together by former supporters and associates of the George Bush family, the family noted for their strong opposition to Trump from the git go. George 41 and Barbara famously resigned from the G.O.P. upon Trump's nomination in 2016, knowing the score. Another group, called "The Lincoln project", is centered in the nation's capitol, and puts out quite a blog and podcast show, featuring withering condemnations of the president, who retaliates by twitter tweeting his usual vile bitterness against those traitors. Still another more nationwide attempt is called simply "Republicans Against Trump". These are all people who have seen the waled handwriting, have come clean, many of whom were "Never Trumps" from the outset, and never wavered. Most never Trumpers dissolved meekly into the background, accepting the inevitable, much to the detriment of the nation. I have a dear friend, a ninety four year old alert active gentlemen whom I tried in vain in 2016 to see the light, or rather the darkness, in Trump. His vote was based largely upon his distaste for Hillary Clinton, like many Trump voters, the lesser of two evils theory. Actually, Hillary Clinton was the best qualified presidential candidate in American history, far more qualified than George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or all the rest. As Casey Stengel said, you could look it up. Far from evil, Clinton is a woman of high moral standards, intelligence, and integrity. her experience, knowledge, and intelligence would have made her an excellent president. A cursory examination of the reasons behind the widespread hatred of her reveals a combination of fabricated, dishonest accusations of criminal activity, and shallow, superficial distaste for her confident, exuberant personality, unbecoming a meek, subservient woman, the kind american men prefer. the Trump administration has been chaotic, corrupt, and disastrous in terms of policy, most recently exemplified in Trump's dismissive attitude towards the virus and towards the racial divide, which he has only made worse. Just as there were Germans who never came clean on Hitler, so there will be Americans who never abandon their cultish support of this remarkably corrupt, criminal man, Donald Trump. Fortunately, they will be few enough in number to be rather easily ignored and dismissed as the small minded fools they are.
