In his most recent rally in PA today, Trump said the following:
"Do you think Springfield will ever be the same again? The fact is (shouting), you have to get them the hell out. They have destroyed it!"
The crowd then chants "Send them back! Send them back! Send them back! Send them back! Send them back!"
It is videos like this where I think in 20, 30 years from now, when hopefully we will be ok and this madness will be behind us, our children will look back at videos of it the same way we do KKK rallies or Hitler rallies. How could these people hold such disgusting views and express such hate and be so drawn to a guy that brings out that hate?
Trump brings out the deepest, darkest impulses in people and riles them up to a fever pitch in order to direct hate at an innocent but vulnerable and mostly powerless group of humans, to obtain his own political power. He did it masterfully on Jan 6 as well to successfully incite violence in thousands of individuals. What can be more toxic in a so called leader than that? In what case in history has giving that person the most powerful position in that country ever turned out well?
And remember, these are people who are here legally, who escaped high levels of violence and unrest in their country, who have just as much right to be here as any other legal immigrant, who are working hard, trying their best to be a good Americans and follow the law, to integrate just like any other immigrant group has done in the past. Hatian immigrants have enriched the United States. I live close to Miami, and there are many people of Hatian ancestry that live around here who are good Americans, who enrich the culture and contribute to the fabric of America.
The lead prosecutor in Trump's second assassination attempt was born in Haiti, for example, and is now an American citizen and a dedicated public servant to the people of the United States. His mother was a street vendor and his father a tailor. He served 6 years in the U.S. Marine Corp and served a tour in Iraq. What an amazing example of the American dream in action and our country benefitting as a result of him being part of our society.
It is so beyond the pale how anyone can support Trump and still look in the mirror without complete disgust at themselves as a human being. What has happened to the humanity of such a large portion of our society?
