Tell Me Who Fits all of These Definitions

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

You just might know this person.

Malignant Narcissist: “Malignant narcissism is a psychological syndrome that's a combination of narcissistic personality traits and psychopathic traits taken to an extreme level. People with malignant narcissism may have an inflated sense of self-worth, a need for admiration, and a disregard for others. They may also be aggressive, manipulative, and abusive without remorse.”

Coup: “a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government”

Fascist: “a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived.”

Neo-Nazi: “a member of a group espousing the programs and policies of Hitler's Nazis.”

White Supremacist: “a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races.”

Any guesses?

A FEW MORE CLUES

If you need a little help, let me tell you a few more things about this person.

He read the speeches of Adolf Hitler before going to sleep. The men he admires most are Hitler and Vladimir Putin. He is a confirmed sexual predator. He preaches anger, hatred, and violence to his cult. Over a four-year period, he holds the record for the most lies told by one person. Just two more: after his coup failed, he stole 14 boxes of classified documents from the White House on January 20, 2021.

Okay, I know you know who this is.

WOULD YOU ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR PRESIDENT?

My standards may be too high, but just one of these descriptions would prevent me from voting for this man. When George W. Bush was running for president, I overheard a group of older, white men saying they liked Bush because “he’s one of us; someone I’d like to have a beer with.”

I expect my president to be exceptional. She or he must have experience, a high moral compass, an above average level of intelligence, integrity, and a desire to serve all 330+ million Americans.

Other standards include plans for improving the lives of all Americans, and someone who never attempted to overthrow our government or stole national secrets, hiding them in his millionaires and billionaires playpen.

THANK PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR SAVING LIVES AND RESTORING OUR COUNTRY TO ECONOMIC GREATNESS

I am aware that the 2020 election was about evicting Trump from the White House, and less about strong support for Mr. Biden. However, President Biden has succeeded beyond my expectations. Our economy is the best it has been since 1999. Our place in the world has been restored. Jobs are plentiful, and Mr. Biden’s distribution plans for the Covid-19 vaccine saved thousands of lives.

It's good to have a working president in the White House.

Finally, I cannot emphasize the importance of voting on November 5^th, or by mail if you choose. For the majority of the time, we have no representation in Washington. Professional politicians spend most of their time running for office.

However, every four years we decide who will lead us for the next four. Knowing that Trump is not a leader, that leaves one choice. Give President Biden four more years to complete his agenda for the American people. It is unthinkable that the old, mentally challenged, and obese man who moved our nation backwards for four years could have another chance to ruin America.
