Attempting to Hide America’s Greatest Sin Will not Make it Go Away

Denying facts is standard operating procedure for right wing politicians. But the truth is undeniable: Trump is undoubtedly the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement.

Since 1981, politicians who sit on the right side of the aisle began a campaign to remove the darkest facts about our country’s darkest past. The most well-known issue has been slavery which began long before the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

In 1619, the first slaves stepped onto the land of what would be a new nation. Although Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the Union declared victory in the Civil War in 1865, racism continues to be as great a problem today as it was 406 years ago.

The illegitimate inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, was a travesty for our entire nation. However, for minorities it was a confirmation that genocide is acceptable in America.

Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. He and his army of white supremacists attempted to overthrow our government on January 6, 2021, and now that the corrupt and biased Supreme Court gave Trump total immunity for his many crimes against the people of the United States of America, he has begun a second Civil War with the implementation of Project 2025: the Republican Fascist Manifesto.

Our government is fully aware that the 2024 election was rigged by Vladimir Putin, as was the 2016 debacle. However, they choose to hide the truth from the American people and are allowing Trump to end democracy in America forever.

As an original baby boomer, my level of patriotism was beyond comparison for the first half of my nearly 79 years. However, the more I learned about the failures of our federal government, and how it is dominated by corruption based on greed, power, and avarice, the less trust I had for our elected officials.

Nearing the title of “octogenarian,” I no longer trust or respect anyone in our nation with great power and/or great wealth.

Trump and every man and woman who supports the worst man in the world is racist, and unfit for any office at any level of our government. American principles are based on compassion, understanding, and support for all Americans regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or the color of their skin. Trump and his minions care only about themselves and other pure whites.

Harvard University is under attack from Trump and his fascist party. Overall, our nation’s oldest institute of higher learning has defied Trump’s efforts to destroy Harvard’s integrity and history. However, just days ago it agreed to remove photographs of some of our nation’s enslaved citizens, and he disheveled shacks in which they were forced to live. I am disappointed.

Slavery and all actions of racism and bigotry are the sole reasons why our nation has never been “great.” Trump’s facetious red hats literally mean, “Make America White Again.”

A final fact which may destroy any hope you harbor that Trump will be defeated in his effort to destroy the soul of America.

Only congress can remove Trump from our White House, and as long as it is controlled by the cowardly and hypocritical men and women who call themselves “Republicans,” this will never happen. They care more about their personal welfare than the future of 340 million people they were elected to serve.
