Donald, Your Allegiance Is With The Wrong People

Hate is such a destructive emotion. And when it’s put into action, people get hurt or worse. We’ve seen you, our current president, spread the blame around after a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville turned violent and a young woman was killed. The mother of that young woman refused to take your call because of that callousness. There was no blame to go around as you so vehemently insisted when the car driven by a white nationalist plowed into a peaceful group of counter-protesters, injuring many and killing Heather Heyer. The blame falls on the driver of that car and as far as I’m concerned, on you, Donald.

Donald, you’ve been inciting this crap since the campaign. And recently you suggested to a group of police officers in so many words that roughing up bad guys was fine with you. And today, before reversing your comments on Twitter, you said that the peaceful protesters in Boston were anti-police, which they were not.

So, I have to say, Donald, what on earth is wrong with you?

Are you such a hateful man that you can’t stand on the side of peace and love? Do you really want us to come together as one, as your more recent tweet said? You attack anyone who disagrees with you with such juvenile vitriol. And if you’re truly a white nationalist, then you don’t belong in office.

Or did you just use all of them to get elected?

There seems to a means to an end aspect to everything you do. So I have to wonder if you looked at the white nationalist movement and saw an opportunity. But then your comments after Charlottesville seem to indicate some allegiance with these folks so maybe you are a white nationalist and racist. The First Amendment protects their right to free speech and if they assemble peacefully, then they have every right to express themselves. But that’s not what happened in Charlottesville, and you know that. And you don’t get to make up false allegations against those who peacefully assembled against hate and bigotry.

Why are you still referring to Hillary in the same disgusting manner you’ve done since the campaign? Donald, you look foolish every time you say this crap. It’s so clear that you cannot let anything go. I know people like you. They’re basically miserable and visit that on everyone they come into contact with.

Before you embarrass yourself any further, you might want to pick up a high school history or civics book. If you want to learn something about who we really are, I would recommend A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn. My boys read that when they homeschooled. And before you get your knickers in a twist (never been fond of the panties in a wad statement), we homeschooled because they were gifted. Public school wasn’t giving them what they needed so we decided to give unschooling a try and they thrived. Which is sort of my point here. It’s fine to brush up on skills or knowledge you’ve forgotten. In fact, it’s the right thing to do, so put down your phone, stop tweeting and read a book.

You’d think your real allegiance would be to your family. Your daughter married a Jewish man. That should mean something to you. The dignity of your son-in-law and his family should mean something to you. They’ve produced beautiful grandchildren for you to love and cherish. And irrespective of what I think of them personally, you should be standing up for them against antisemitism and hate from these so-called supporters of yours. These are your children for pity’s sake. Your grandchildren should not EVER hear the language that comes from these awful people. They are precious and they deserve to live in a world free of such hate.

It seems that you’re in an interesting position now. As I’m sure you’re aware, Bannon seemed to suggest on his way out the door that your presidency is now over, at least the one that he was involved in creating. Good thing he’s gone because he basically trashed you as he left. I guess he believed that he was the real president and now that he’s gone, it’s over for you.

If you need help discovering your heart again, spend some time playing with your grandchildren. Let them lead the way back to reason and to love. My husband and I were blessed last month with our first grandchild, a little girl. Donald, she’s amazing and we are so in love! I know you know that feeling, every grandparent does. It’s different when it’s a grandchild, no? I mean, it was so incredible when I gave birth to our two boys, but to hold the child of my youngest son when she was only twelve hours old defies description.

Donald, these are the babies we need to protect. Our grandchildren. From these horribly racist people. You can find your heart again in your grandchildren’s eyes. Let that feeling spill over you and then let the love that’s always there, hidden though it may be, shine forth.

We’ll talk again soon. Until then…

Blessings of love and peace to you and yours.
