Trump, Trying To Silence Us
HUMAN CIVILIZATION is a huge collection of cultures, and God bless diversity. In our modern world where global communication and interaction are so enhanced through applied science, cultural exchange promotes diversity and understanding. Student and academic exchange programs do the world a world of good. The young scholar from the Middle East who engaged in protests agaisnt Israel on an Ivy League campus was deported by the Trump administration, and is presumably already back home. Also, it is predictable that there will be lawsuits filed agaisnt Trump on behalf of the young man and perhaps by the young man himself. Lawsuits against Trump, stacking up. The Trump administration has now deported no fewer than a dozen foreign exchange students, all for the same reason; expressing disapproval of the actions of the nation of Israel in Gaza. The forms of disagreement and protest are varied, from articles in student newspapers at major universitties to actual organized protests in the streets and on campuses. The official state viewpoint, fully authorized, presumably, by the leader Mr. Trump himself, is that, the students are here in the United States to study, not to protest. All things considered, that is not bad thinking for a MAGA intellect, or Trump himself. However, will it hold up in court? We'll eventually find out. The question, of course, is whether visitors to the United States are afforded basic constitutional rights, including free speech, when in the U.S.. It is widely believed, and has long been established, that they indeed are. If the deporteee had been out in the streets and in teh newspapers protesting Hamas and raising Israel, would they have become deportees? Doubtless not. Protesting is not the problem here. It is the particular viewpoint of the protestors which is the problem with the Trump administration, and, presumably, MAGA-nation, which, evidently, strongly supports Israeli aggression in GAZA, unlike civilized people. Trump doesn't mrerly intend to shrink the size of governent by firing tens of tousands of federal employees. he intends to replace many of them with people who have sworn and demonstrated complete loyalty to der fuhrer, the leader, herr Trump. Perhaps before the midterms we shall see a completely ransacked and rebuilt FBI and CIA, choc full of red capped, MAGA cultists. And who knows, a new entity, Trump's personal secret police force, perhaps. In fascism,the leader creates organizations, mostly military and police but civil service as well, full of goose stepping loyalists to support him. Presumably silencing or discrediting dissent against him among the American mainstream masses is a priority of Trump, which is why it is of the most urgent necessity that millions of good loyal patiotic Americans get out in the streets and loudly proclaim their preference that Trump be removed from office and cast into a prison cell. Trump would doubtless love to utilize any and all methods against those Americans who despise him, but will have immense difficulty doing this as long as a majority of Americans continue to despise him, and are not afraid to say so. The tariff insanity will impact the economy, and hurt Trump's populairty. So will his destruction of government, as soon as government services begin to disappear. When all this happens, his supporters will contiue to support him, and will blame Trump's enemies for Trump's disasters. As always, they will rely on lies. Let Trump try to silence us, and find out what happens.
