BLAST FROM THE PAST: Monday, November 14, 2016. FEATURE ARTICLES. PROGRESSIVES- YOUR LEADERS ARE FAILING YOU.

HERE IS AN ARTICLE I WROTE SHORTLY AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION. (BEFORE I HAD ANALYZED THE RETURNS, AND REALIZED THE FRAUDULENT VOTE COUNTS THAT GAVE DONALD TRUMP THE WHITE HOUSE.) HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED?


Aggression, Hatred, Meanness, Violent

Referring to President Elect Trump, Barack Obama thinks we should balance
what he said during the campaign, with what he does as President. That's what I
would expect a Lawyer to say, not a World Leader. Then again, he might say a
couple of nice things about you. He Trashed you enough during the election,
and you wouldn't want to upset him further.

See, I was under the Impression that a departing President, after seeing an
Unprincipled Hate Monger win the most powerful elected office in the world,
using TACTICS PRAISED BY THE KKK AND THE AMERICAN NAZI PARTY,
would tell his supporters to use all legal means to make sure he fails. This would
encourage Americans to avoid such DEMAGOGUES, WHO ENCOURAGE
VIOLENCE AND HATE AS A VIABLE STRATEGY TO WIN AN ELECTION.

Now pay attention. When I say see him fail as President, IT MEANS THAT HIS
GOALS AND REASONS FOR RUNNING HAVE BEEN DEFEATED, AND THE
VISION HE HAD FOR THE U.S. DID NOT COME ABOUT.  That may mean no
compromises, and ignoring all attempts at working together. BUT...

Some Democratic Members of Congress think we should help heal the Division in this
Country, as President Elect Trump proposes. (The fact he caused the Division is ignored).
Why not, shouldn't we follow the shining example set by the Republican Congress over the
last eight years? I mean they have a policy of Blocking any Legislation that would actually
help the Average American, like a LIVING WAGE AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE.
I'M SURE THEY WILL BE MUCH MORE REASONABLE NOW.

The Southern Poverty Law Center thinks President Elect Trump should denounce
racism and violence, done in his name. (I would think that is something that you
wouldn't have to ask.) He will probably do it, after all he and his cronies have the
White House, so he can condescend to throw a few scraps to his opponents. Then
the Law Center can announce the VICTORY OVER INTOLERANCE, AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT AS BAD AS WE THOUGHT.

You have to say one thing about Donald Trump: HE PROMOTES ANGER, HATRED,
PREJUDICE AND THE THREAT OF VIOLENCE TO GET ELECTED, AND STILL
HE HAS THE OPPOSITION ABANDONING THEIR INTEGRITY AND DIGNITY
TO SAY CONSOLING THINGS ABOUT HIM.

WOW!!
