Trust Trump? No. Believe him? Yes!

Date: 2024-Oct-28 Author: Barry Shatzman

As we approach election day... there's something you absolutely need to keep in mind.

I realize many of you already have voted. And that the vast majority of you have no doubt who your choice is.

But just in case...

You've undoubtedly heard the anti-democratic, racist, and otherwise hateful and vile language from Trump and his entourage - all of which jives with Trump's racist history.

Maybe you noticed Elon Musk's cap in Fraktur lettering.

Believe them. Reject their ridiculous explanations. A Trump presidency could end the democracy we've come to just assume always will be there. There is no valid reason to assume democracy is infallible anywhere, let alone here.

Folks.. .they are blatantly waving it right in front of your motherfucking face.

But that isn't specifically what i said you absolutely need to keep in mind. It's this...

When Hitler took over the German government, it took him less than 6 months to imprison his political competition, build a culture of hate and dehumanization, and establish concentration camps.

Read that again. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.

If you think that can't happen here, you are DEAD wrong.

Now i'll say something positive. It's my opinion that Kamala Harris's policies are immensely better for virtually every American. You might feel otherwise. That is the type of thing we need to discuss without hyperbole. But, even if you disagree right now, it will become moot if Trump ever is allowed into the White House again.

Now vote.
