A great piece
on the Opinion Pages of THE NEW YORK TIMES from Charles M. Blow titled “Trump Is an Existential Threat” echoes my frustration with this election. I couldn’t have said it better myself (highlights
are mine) -
“I simply cannot wrap my head around how
others with level heads and sound minds can even consider Trump for president
of this country and leader of the free world. The logic simply escapes me.
There is no way to make this make
sense. Believe me, I’ve tried.
Donald Trump is a bigot.
Donald Trump is a demagogue.
Donald Trump is a sexist,
misogynist, chauvinist pig.
Donald Trump is a bully.
Donald Trump is a cheat.
Donald Trump is a pathological liar.
Donald Trump is a nativist.
Donald Trump’s campaign has proved
too attractive to anti-Semites, Nazis and white nationalists, and on some level
the campaign seems to be tacitly courting that constituency.
Donald Trump
— judging by his own words on that disgusting tape and if you believe the
dozen-plus women who have come forward to accuse him of some form of sexual
assault or unwanted sexual advance — is
an unrepentant predator.
To put it more succinctly, Donald Trump is a lowlife degenerate with
the temperament of a 10-year-old and the moral compass of a severely wayward
teen.
There is no way to
make a vote for him feel like an act of principle or responsibility. You can’t
make it right. You can’t say yes to Trump and yes to common decency. Those two
things do not together abide.”
The answer
is obviously that Trump followers and
supporters do not have level heads and sound minds – nor do they have
intelligence, integrity, or a conscience!
