A 4th of July Celebration, America’s Biggest Traitor, and his “No-Class” Neo-Nazi Supporters
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Past and present American presidents frequently address the American people on national holidays. This past 4th of July weekend was no exception.
President Biden spoke to his supporters touting the greatness in principle of the United States, and what this celebration of our country’s Declaration of Independence means to every American citizen.
However, the mood was quite different on Tuesday when Trump spoke to his Neo-Nazi supporters on his failing social media platform, Truth Social. He failed to talk about the importance of the day, and instead attacked everything good about our patriotic American President, and the millions of voters who voted for him in 2020. He spoke in front of a video screen which once again proved that Trump and his Klan have no class and in fact harbor great hatred for the nation of our Founding Fathers. The screen said: “F**k Biden and f**k you for voting for him.”
Maybe I’m wrong but I always believed that a President of the United States is expected and required to represent all of our nation’s people, not just those who seek white supremacy and the end of democracy in America.
After following politics for 67 years, I can sum up what I have witnessed very simply: our political system has devolved into the worst in the world and is totally dysfunctional by choice. Over the last 40+ years uninformed and uncaring voters have given us the worst of the worst in Washington. Today’s Republicans have no relationship to the Republican Party led by Eisenhower or Richard Nixon. Their administrations accomplished many positive things for our nation. The only notable accomplishment registered by the once Grand Old Party over the last 42 was Reagan’s nuclear arms agreement with Russia in the 1980’s. All other “achievements” are negative and destructive.
The alliance between Fox News and right wing politicians has produced a level of right wing extremism no one believed possible. Their support of Donald Trump is an affront to the reason we celebrate July 4th, and remember the worst days in history including the beginning of the Civil War, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the attacks on 9/11. We must also include other attacks on our democracy, including the January 6 insurrection, two failures by Moscow Mitch McConnell to convict Trump after two impeachments, and the removal of a woman’s right to care for her own physical and mental health on June 23, 2022.
Trump’s only “success” was dividing our nations between Americans and fascists who would shred the Constitution. Our nation is in the middle of a second Civil War. There was little difference between his baseless attacks last Tuesday than what he said on January 20, 2017. He basically called our country a “s**thole.” He cares nothing about his country or its people. He cares about Donald Trump and no one else. He has become a sad old, obese, and feeble shell of a man who is desperate to remain relevant.
If you support Trump, get out of my country. You are not an American and you have surrendered your loyalty to an agent of Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
