With just two weeks to go before the election, Donald Trump has only a 4.1% chance of winning the General Election for President of the Unite States. At this point in time, Donald Trump would have to win virtually every single one of the 16 battleground States to win enough electoral votes to win the election. The polls indicate that this is highly unlikely, if not impossible.
If Donald Trump were to somehow win the election, it would be the greatest polling error in the history of polling the elections.
By all indications, The Democrat, Hillary Clinton, will win the election by a comfortable margin, or even possibly by a landslide.
This article is not about the fact that Hillary Clinton may very well be the first woman President in history.
This article is about the percentage of Trump supporters who are in fact “deplorable”. These people are not going away just because Donald Trump lost the election.
You would be naive to assume that if Hillary Clinton wins these deplorable’s will just go away. Sure, maybe a small percentage will just shrug their shoulders and say Hillary won, so we will now just support the Clinton Presidency. Sadly, most will not.
Don’t get me wrong. Not all Trump supporters are deplorable. I personally know a few, and they are not deplorable. Misguided maybe, deplorable, no.
Donald Trump has awakened the dark side of America. He has said horrendous things about many groups of people, and the incidence of hate speech and crimes against Muslims, African Americans, Mexicans, Women, and Jewish people have risen dramatically since Trump entered his name into nomination as the Republican nominee for President.
Donald Trump has called our elections rigged, and that the media is biased against him. Our free and fair elections, and the peaceful transfer of power, as well as our freedom of the press, are the bedrock foundations of our American Democracy.
Political correctness is the filter and the binding element that keeps the fringe elements of society in check. Without political correctness, the fringe elements have been unleashed and actually believe they have found a voice in Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has made; xenophobic, racist, bigoted, and misogynistic statements and his supporters go wild. Donald Trump has incited political violence and even mocked a disabled reporter. He was even on tape advocating criminal sexual assault against women.
Donald Trump is also supported by; the Klu Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other, conspiracy theorists of all kinds, as well as the radical Alt-Right. These are all fringe elements of society and Donald Trump has done little or nothing to discourage their support.
Donald Trump’s own words have unbound these fringe elements from the political correctness that society has managed to mostly keep in check for the last couple of decades.
Even when Donald Trump, loses the election these fringe elements are not going away. We experienced a similar phenomenon in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with the radical leftest groups. It took decades to but this genie back in the bottle.
Donald Trump’s greatest sin against America is that he has given a voice to those who should have been left voiceless. Donald Trump has encouraged those who would harm American society to stand proudly and spew their hate when in reality they should have been left in the shadows and been relegated to the dustbin of history.
No, these fringe groups will not be going away anytime soon, and it will take a very long time to undue the damage he has been already done.
We are in for a long stretch of rough times ahead, and we have only one person to blame, and that’s Donald Trump. Trump has awakened the dark side of American society, and all we can do is, place our tray tables in their upright position, fasten our seatbelts and prepare for strong turbulence for the next several years. And if for some reason sanity doesn’t prevail, be prepared to……… Brace For Impact!
Attacking The Legitimacy Of Our Elections Is An Attack On The Very Foundations Of Our Democracy!
The American system of free and fair elections is under attack. Donald Trump has done the unspeakable. Donald has attacked the very foundations of our nation’s Democracy. His shocking and unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud and media bias are an affront to the very foundations of our democracy that our founding fathers fought and died for.
So, Donald Trump, I am speaking directly to you, personally. This is an open letter yo you, Donald Trump.
Please try to listen, and pay attention, just this one time.
The American elections and peaceful transfer of power are considered the “Gold Standard” around the world, as well as they should be.
Let’s start from the very beginning and clarify a few facts.
The United States of America is not a true democracy in the strict sense of the word. The United States as set up and ratified by our founding fathers in 1787 is actually what is known as a “Constitutional Republic”.
Constitutional means that the government is bound by a constitution. The United States has a constitutional form of government.
A republic is a country governed by elected representatives. The United States is a republic.
This is why our free and fair elections, as well as the peaceful transfer of power, is so critically important, as we the people elect the politicians who are to represent us in all levels of Government.
This article is not about you, Donald Trump and your lies and bizarre statements. Obviously, you say this nonsense to fire up your misguided base.
And, frankly, I am sick and tired of writing about you. Every election cycle we have politicians running smear campaigns. This is nothing new.
Thomas Jefferson, was a well-known Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and the third President of the United States. When Jefferson was running for President a smear campaign was run against him calling him a hermaphrodite. By today’s standards that smear campaign was actually kind of quaint.
What I am talking about here is your attack upon the very foundations of our electoral process. The legitimacy of our free and fair elections is critical not only to the voters but to the entire legitimacy of the United States Government.
Here is the video of the exchange that I am talking about. This exchange occurred near the end of the third and final Presidental debate, with roughly three weeks to go until the general election…..
There are two main factors at play here that I want to explore.
First, {1} you have been saying for weeks that the election is rigged against you. You have stated on multiple occasions that there are millions of people registered to vote that should not be allowed to vote.
Also, {2} You claim that the Democrats will be bringing in busloads of illegal immigrants from State to State to vote illegally.
Let’s dispense with the second part {2} of your allegations right off the bat. No, Donald, the Democrats will not be bussing in busloads of illegal immigrants from State to State to vote illegally. This has never occurred and never will. The reason is because of the first part of your ludicrous accusations.
I have personally voted in every single general election since 1976. I have voted in four States in my lifetime, beginning in California, then Connecticut, then Massachusetts, and now Florida.
The process was always the same. First, I had to register to vote. My identity, Social Security number and address was verified. I was then issued a voter registration card by mail.
I arrived at the polling place and stood in line at the registration table. I gave them my name and address which was checked against a list that they already had. Once I was verified that I was at the proper polling place and my name was on the list, I was given a ballot to vote.
The important thing here was my name was on their voter registration list. Once I arrived to vote, my name was checked off, so it would be literally impossible for anyone else to come along and use my name to vote illegally.
The most important fact to remember is that in modern times there have been exactly 31 cases of voter fraud that have been verified by the Justice Department out of hundreds of millions of votes cast. 31 cases total.
First of all, the United States federal government does not run the elections. The States run the elections, all fifty of them. But when you are running for President of the United States, I would have thought that you would have known this.
In order to pull off some sort of wide-spread vote rigging as you have suggested, it would take literally thousands of people, both Republicans as well as Democrats working together in multiple States in some sort of coordinated effort to even begin to try to pull something like this off.
Republicans and Democrats can’t even agree on what time it is, so I find this accusation of yours to have a probability of less than zero.
Besides, let’s look at the facts. When you, Donald Trump, lost the Iowa caucuses during the primaries, he said the vote was rigged. When you lost the Wisconsin primaries, you said the vote was rigged. Hell, you even said that the vote was rigged when you didn’t win an Emmy for The Apprentice, three years in a row. Are you starting to see a pattern here?
Evidently, in your mind, if you lose, it is somehow rigged against you.
The other thing that Donald Trump complains about all the time is that the media is biased against him, and they are poisoning the minds of voters against him.
No Donald, the media is not biased aginst you!
The only reason that the media is against you, is because of your own self-inflicted wounds. I’me getting to this in just a second.
It is true that there are some media outlets that are leaning left of center and others that are right of center. Some media internet media outlets just make stuff up.
First of all ever since you started running, at your rallies you point to the media covering your events and call them; liars, tell the truth, and call them the crooked media, and a whole lot more. Believe me, when I say, this is not a good way to win friends and influence in the media.
Secondly, you obviously don’t understand the media. The media are like small children that become fixated on a small shiny object. You regularly become that small shiny object because of the outrageous things that you continue to say.
Even when you are having a pretty good day, or week and there is even something that comes up about your opponent, You can’t help yourself, but to say or do something that is so outrageous that whatever your opponent did becomes lost in all the noise of your own making.
For some reason, you insist on always being that bright shiny object, even when it’s to your own detriment.
Besides the media doesn’t go to the polls and vote, people do. So, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
But, now with all the outrageous lies, half truths and other bullshit that comes out of your mouth, you have really gone too far.
When you started questioning the integrity of our elections, and the fact that you insinuated that you would not support the outcome, and the ultimate will of the people, you went way, way, way, too far.
The United States elections and the peaceful transfer of power are sacred not only to the American people but to the entire free world. Every losing candidate in the history of our nation (except for during the American Civil War) has conceded to the winning candidate for President.
The losing candidate’s concession to the winning candidate is what brings the American people together and guarantees a peaceful transfer of power. This is what begins the healing process in what is often a very divisive election cycle. In the end, we are all still Americans. The President of the United States is tasked with representing ALL of us whether we personally voted for them or not.
Donald trump threatens the very fabric of American society by even insinuating that our elections are not free and fair.
As Americans we may not agree on everything, But, the one thing that we all agree upon is that our elections are free and fair, And, the peaceful transfer of power is our most important constitutional duty.
In order to remain a free society, and fully live up to the ideals that our founding fathers fought and died for, we have to trust and believe in our free and fair elections, as well as the peaceful transfer of power, Without that, we have nothing.
As a final thought, Donald. If the founding fathers were alive today, they would line up to punch you in the face. Just saying……
What is political correctness? according to Wikipedia, the definition of Political Correctness; Political correctness (adjectivally: politically correct), commonly abbreviated to PC, is a term that, in modern usage, is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended not to offend or disadvantage any particular group of people in society.
I fail to see how this would be a problem, with anyone. However in this election cycle Donald Trump and his supporters often complain that a big problem this country has, is being “politically correct”. What?
Obviously, Donald Trump, his surrogates, and many of his supporters also believes this. You can easily confirm this yourself. Just Google, or listen to the things he has said in the last 15 months or so.
Here are just ten examples. There are literally hundreds more.
I believe that Donald Trump, his surrogates and supporters who believe that America is too politically correct, ARE DEAD WRONG!
Let me just give you a few examples to support my case on why political correctness is absolutely essential in a civil society.
Donald Trump and his supporters have often criticized President Obama and even demanded that he resign because Obama refuses to utter the words “Radical Islam”
President Obama has said; “We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam,” he said at the Summit on Countering Violent Extremism in February 2015.
President Obama’s carefully chosen “politically correct” words actually convey several important messages.
The United States is not at war with Islam or the 1.5 billion around the world who practice it. This includes several hundred thousand American citizens.
As President of the United States he is also reiterating how he is President of “all the people” whether you voted for him, or not, and no matter what your relegous beliefs may be.
President Obama fully understands that words matter, words are powerful. You must choose your words carefully.
This same sort of “Political Correctness” run amok argument was also used over the controversy over the Confederate flag. Proponents of keeping the Confederate flag claimed it was a symbol of Southern Pride and everyone was being too politically correct.
The problem is, the Confederate flag is deeply offensive to literally millions of Americans. As a civil society don’t we have an obligation to consider the feelings of literally millions of our fellow citizens? Isn’t being politically correct just another phrase describing compassion, empathy and human decency?
As a political correct society we have virtually eliminated slang names for women, in civil society that women find offensive. These slang terms include; Amazon – arm candy – astronaut’s wife – Aunt Jemima – aviation blonde – b – babe – bad kitty – bag – bag bitch – BBW – beast – beav – beaver – Becky – Benjamin – Betty – biddie – biddy – Big Booty Judy – bimbo – bimho – bint – bird – bisnotch – bitch – blonde – bob – booth babe – box – breezie – breezy – bridezilla – broad – Buffy – bunny boiler – burger – bushpig – butch – butterface – butter face – butterhead – cat – chank – chica – chicadee – chick – chickabee – chickadee – chicken head – chicken hoe – chiquita – chiquita banana – classy hoochie – cougar – cow – crank whore – crockadillapig – cronk – cunt – ‘c’ word – dame – decent Rita – dime – dish – ditz – diva – doll – double R – dudette – f4f – fag hag – feedbag material – fem-fetale – filly – flange – flipper – floozie – floozy – foxy – gal – ghetto bird – ghetto ho – GILF – girl – girlfriend – girlie – girly – girly-girl – gold digger – good sort – Grimace – grizzly chicken – gurl – gyal – gyal dem – heina – ho bagel – hockey whore – hoe – hogbeast – homegirl – ho-nasty – hooch – hoochie – hose beast – hoss – hot ma’ – hunny – hussy – huzzie – ice queen – jackpine savage – Jane Doe – Jenny McCarthy – jumper – jumpoff – karena – lass – LOLITA – lumberjack – ma – ma’am – mack mamma – mami – manizer – manster – MIF – MILF – millihelen – minger – MIWLF – mole – moll – Mona Bushpig – mudpout – MWF – old bag – Omega Mu – pass around pussy – Pebbles – pigeon – poon – poontang – popcorn hoe – prostitot – puck bunny – pussy – PYT – queen bee – ragamuffin – rasp – rat – RUB – runner – sauerkraut – sausage jockey – scud – sea donkey – sea hag – sex kitten – sexy mama – shawty – Sheila – shiksa – shorty – sista – sister – skank – skeezy ho – sketel – sko – sleaze – sorostitute – space queen – split-tail – Susan Glenn – suspy – swamp donkey – sweet sister of mine – SWF – SWM – tail – tart – toots – tramp – trick – trim – troglodyte – troll – twinkie – twist – two o’clock beauty queen – vamp – village bicycle, the – what’s-her-face – whatshername – whooty – whore – wild – woofer – Xbox – yak – younger model – yummy mummy.
I for one agree that if women find these terms to be offensive, then we as a society have to respect their wishes. Certainly, this is politically correct, but it is mostly respecting the wishes of women. What’s wrong with that?
Sports teams with names e.g.- “Washington Redskins” and “Cleveland Indians” are offensive to Native Americans.
These sports teams have been around for a few dozen years. Native Americans have been around for ~13,000 years. So who’s feelings should we be respecting? It seems to me that the answer is perfectly clear.
The same is true for politically “incorrect” names for; disabled people, homeless people, the mentally ill, poor white people, LGBT people, Jews, Muslims, Asians, Hispanics, African Americans, etc., etc. I could keep going on and on. But, I think I have proven my point.
Political Correctness is a basic requirement for a civil society. Political Correctness is nothing more then the language of inclusiveness, and respect for others.
Political Correctness, is the glue that holds our society together. Political Correctness, facilitates open communication. Political Correctness, promotes understanding between opposing views.
Next time, someone tries to explain to you that the problem with America, is political correctness. they have just attempted to justify their; misogynistic, racist, bigoted or xenophobic beliefs, as the problems or incorrect beliefs of others instead of themselves…..The problem in America is not “Political Correctness” it is the false narrative that others use to try to justify their personal prejudices against others.
So, What’s Wrong With Political Correctness? Nothing, Nothing at all.
