Trump, Doing Good?

THE FACEBOOk POST SAID: "I will never forgive those who elected Trump and did this to us.". I have seen it several times, I like it, and I share it every time I see it. On one of them, I typed in "I can't decide", meaning, whether I will or can forgive them. Some preachy lib babe got all wrathy, and responded to me: "The proof is in the pudding. Wake up". Now, I can go with the proof and pudding part, but the "wake up" annoyed me. I responded: "I am awake, and can forgive anybody who informs me of their having awakened from their self imposed delusion of formerly, but no longer being a Trump supporter. One must cknowledge, however, that at present it is difficult to imagine very many Americans in the future announcing that they are no longer Trump supporters, and can't believe that they ever were. These hard cores MAGA types are remindful of Hitler's most ardent adorers, likely to remain loyal and obedient forever, ever amid the ruins of their country, devastated by the tyrant they adore. I can imagine mobs of MAGAts milling about in a bombed out America, praising Trump and blaming his enemies. As of now, it almost seems as it the United States has lost a war, and is being governed by its enemy, intent on weakening and destroying it. Actually, its being governed by the most extreme right wing oligarchy, an oligarchy with substantial popular support, intent on turning back the clock on American culture at any cost. If Trump takes the country with him when he goes down, he and his cult mob will blame their enemmies, American liberals first and foremost. Amid our current Trumpian destruction and chaos, Trump did, or rather said something which is arguably good. He does that,qute by accident, once in a blue moon. Once in a blue moon, the old blind squirrel finds an acorn, as we say. And, as always, one must give credit where due. On his laughably named social media platform "Truth Social", he posted: "Vladimir, Stop!" Whether he typed this in all caps, or with or without an exclamation point,I do not know. Probably so. Itwould be appropriate. Vladimir Stop, indeed. Now, many expertsin communication, diplomacy, statesmanship, and so forth, have already pointed out that this Trump post means nothing, is nothing other than more Trump verbal garbage, as it were. Probably so. But,if nothing else, at least the message "Vladimir Stop" is a good idea, doesn't include any lies, does not insult or slander any good, innocent person, an for the first and only time ever, offers a rebuke to the right person, Putin, by his norammly ass kissing puppet,Trump. Trump, like everybody else in the U.S., has valid complaints against China, and there is truth in his position that illegal immigration is undesirable. However, his method of dealing with both concerns is, demonstrably, so far, chaotic, ineffective, and harmful, harmful especially to the United States of America. Trump wants to eliminate any media source, judge, politician, or institution of any sort which dares oppose him, like a true fascist. His intent on governing as an authoritarian ruler is now more evident than ever, and now it is becoming increasingly evident that his supporters prefer an authoritarian fascist Donald Trump to traditional American democracy. And since American democracy has always been window dressing for the actual governing corporate plutocracy, the transition is easy, and simply involves placing Trump at the top of the existing pyramid. Tragic, that even one human being would want this. But at least Trump said two good words.
