Killing Ourselves With Trump

BT NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS, or should know, that Donald J. Trump possesses absolutely no redeeming qualities, not a single one. Its been written about in books by people who know him well, repeatedly. You can listen to him speak, and read what he tweets, and tell. Trump is obviously mentally ill in a variety of ways that only the experts could ever help us understand. The pathological lying, the grade school level discourse, all of it. Not surprisingly, nearly all of his stated beliefs and policies are not only wrong, but terribly wrong, as if deliberately the diametric opposite of good reason and choices. His blatant favoritism towards the ultra wealthy and complete contempt for the poor are so transparently obvious that one wonders why on Earth or in hell any sane semblance of a good citizen who happens to be anything other than wealthy would ever even consider voting for and supporting the wretch (Trump). His policy of deporting eleven million people, millions of whom are gainfully employed, is the exact opposite of common sense, because it will seriously harm the American economy, including greatly exacerbating food inflation. So much better it would be to simply station the military at the border, monitor every square inch of the border, and conduct immigration on an orderly, organized basis. People already living in the United States undocumented, illegally? Provide for them a pathway to citizenship, based on hard work, obeying the law, and paying taxes. These millions of undocumented immigrants already generate great prosperity for the country, and can generate much more. Why throw it all away, other than because of petty racism, which is mainly Trump's motive, and the main motive of his followers? The list goes on, and is long. Trump if wrong, dead wrong, on every issue, and no more so than on the only issue which really matters; climate change. The time has come to double down, triple down, trillion down on the progressive point of view, the correct point of view, that climate change is real, is caused by human activity, and is becoming a disaster rapidly, and we must do somehitng about it, now. Trump and his tens of millions of MAGA supporters, by choosing to ignore climate change or pretend that it does not exist, are attempting to commit suicide for the human species, and for all life on Earth. Even if they are unaware that they are doing it, which evidently they are, they are still doing it, killing themselves, and the rest of us along with them. If the United States actually follows Trump in his insane climate beliefs, the planet may become a complete carbon inundated wasteland by the time he leaves office, if he ever does. Fortunately, it is clear that there will be, all across our lovely land of liberty, concerted efforts, at the local, state, and regional levels, to combat climate change by relacing fossil fuels with sustainable energy sources, and by improving manufacturing and agricultural practices, making then "greener". This will occur, with or without Trump. We who oppose Trump must begin now to repeat and echo the dire urgency of fighting climate change, rather than increasing it, as Trump's pro fossil fuel policies promise to do. We the American people must raise such an outcry agaisnt Trump's climate change approach that we force him, by a sheer act of mass coercion, to completely reverse it. Electing Trup, allowing him and his MAGA mob to come to power, was and remains a national and planetary act of suicide, if only because of the climate change threat, because of the dire, urgent reality of impending doom which we currently face. As for those who support Trump? Fine. Go for it, as we like to say. But if you want to live, if you want your children, grand children, and great grandchildren to live, start fighting climate change now, and pursuade your cult icon, Mr. Trump, to do likewise. Our lives, all or our lives, literally depend on it.
