Brace For Impact!
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.
How could this happen?
It all started with Donald Trump’s main mantra that the country has become “Too politically correct”. This was a serious mistake. I have written about this previously. you can read about it by clicking This link, http://profoundrevelations.com/2016/10/12/whats-wrong-political-correctness/
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!
