Why Would Anyone Who Loves America not Consider the Possibility that Someone Might Assassinate a Traitor to our Country?
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I could never do it. I might think about it, but I find
physical violence an act of ignorance, and a lack of ability to solve problems
through deliberation and compromise. However, my disdain for Trump allows my
thought process to drift into the darkest recesses of my mind and wish that
Trump would go away and free our nation from a man who is pure evil: the
most-hated man in the world.
Yesterday, July 13, 2024, a lone gunman apparently attempted
to kill Donald Trump. The orange buffoon is partially to blame. Throughout his
many rallies, Trump constantly preaches anger, hatred, revenge, and violence.
Much of the harm resulting from Trump’s illegitimate presidency is
irreversible. It is logical to assume that those who love our country would
consider responding to Trump’s fascist agenda.
HOW MY MORNINGS BEGIN
I cannot completely explain how I feel about Donald Trump,
also known as “Big Adolf.” Consider this: what if you were an original baby
boomer, born in 1946, and by the time you were in first grade, you had a little
understanding about what the United States was, and how much most people loved
their country.
A few years later, you learned in school and on television
about WWII and how our brave soldiers defeated the German leader with the funny
little mustache, and saved the world from fascism.
I grew up watching John Wayne movies and movies based on
historical facts about the courage of individuals like Audie Murphy. Every
school day began with the Pledge of Allegiance, and we were proud to recite the
patriotic words. Sadly, those words have little meaning in 2024.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States
of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all."
Thanks to the efforts of Donald Trump, America is no longer
“indivisible,” and he clearly opposes “liberty and justice for all.”
America is not perfect, but progress had been made until
2017 when Trump became our illegitimate president.
This is why I wake up every morning, turn on my laptop, and
check the news. A part of me is hoping that Trump had a stroke or heart attack
during the night. Someone must make him pay for his never-ending crimes against
all real Americans. He and his party already told us what a second Trump
presidency would involve. Simply read the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025.”
I AM NOT DEFENDING THE SHOOTER: HE PAID THE PRICE WITH HIS
OWN LIFE
Whatever triggered 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to
attempt killing another human being, we will probably never know. However, no
one will say it, they lack the courage to tell the truth, but America has
become an angry country.
Trump constantly lies, telling his “people” how terrible
real Americans are, and encourages negative emotions.
I become angry when anyone from the right side of the aisle
speaks in front of the television cameras. They refuse to tell the truth or
answer direct questions, placing their agenda ahead of facts.
THIS IS NOT MY AMERICA
I am a novelist, but not in my wildest imagination could I
ever have imagined that the presidential nominee of one of our major political
parties would be a traitor who admits that his idols are Adolf Hitler, Vladimir
Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Kim Jong-un, Mohammad bin Salman, and Rodrigo
Duterte.
I don’t have “idols,” but I have great respect for most of
our Founding Fathers, most significantly for me, Thomas Jefferson and George
Washinton, I hold Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Dr. Martin
Luther King in great esteem. The difference between me and Trump is that I
cherish the memories of great Americans, not despots and dictators from foreign
nations.
Finally, I am proud to be old, and old-fashioned. I have
memories many of you would never understand. Life was simple when I was a young
man. Most of my friends shared my interests, and none of us were wealthy.
However, we were creative in everything we did because we had to, and that in
itself was better than life today.
Most importantly, we were all patriotic. As we aged, we
learned that not all of those who served us in Washington were worthy of our
respect, but our country always came first.
Trump cannot be our president because he is not a true
American. His ambitions include becoming a Fuhrer, ending free and fair
elections, returning our nation to a country where whites were in control of
everything, and establishing the Christian religion as the only one, true faith
in America.
Hey “Big Adolf,” kiss my backside. You never were and never
would be my president.
