Donny Dictator and Bully Tactics: Will Democrats Surrender?
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I didn’t know it when I was a junior in high school in 1962,
but I now know that history is the most important and fascinating subject we
can study. Past events teach us valuable lessons, and it is critical that we
learn from both our successes and mistakes. 
The sad truth is that we learn more from past mistakes than
from accomplishments. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and
expecting different results.”
Dictator Donny Trump exists in the past. There is no place
for a racist, bigot, a homophobe, a sexist, or a xenophobe in our nation’s
future.
Trump’s past is a story about one man’s abject failures and
his many “firsts.” These “firsts” are not composed of virtuous and successful
actions, but with failures, criminal activities, and sexual deviance. 
Trump’s private life is composed of failed business
ventures, bankruptcies, and accepting “bailouts” from Vladimir Putin, and the
Saudi Royal Family. 
His personal life is dominated by his actions as a sexual
predator. The facts are undeniable. His three marriages contain stories about multiple
extramarital encounters, sexual assault, and recent allegations of
pedophilia.  
His public life, which began in June of 2015, is much worse.
It affects the future of 340 million people, and ultimately all 8.2 billion
people on the planet.
Trump won the 2016 Republican primaries with personal
attacks on his opponents, blatant falsehoods, and by making promises he never
intended to keep. On November 8, 2016, with the assistance of Vladimir Putin,
James Comey, the mainstream media, and our nation’s misogynous attitude, the
worst man in the world became the illegitimate President of the United States.
His past failures became of little interest. Immediately
after his illegal and immoral inauguration on January 20, 2017, he began
violating every law, every custom, every tradition, and the Law of the Land on
a daily basis. He became a tyrant who ruled with tactics reserved for dictators
and bullies: threats, and retribution.
Any American who watched all three hours of Trump’s
attempted coup on January 6, 2021, could come to no other conclusion. This was
clearly the commission of treason against the people of our nation. That wasn’t
enough for the lifetime criminal.
Knowing he would never be punished for the most egregious
crime possible, he violated the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021. As he was
exiting the White House, he stole at least 14 boxes of national secrets, hiding
them in his new residence: Mar-a-Lago.
After another illegitimate victory on November 5, 2024,
aided by Putin and supported by six corrupt members of the Supreme Court, he
immediately revealed his intentions. First, he decided that because he was
given absolute immunity by the SCOTUS, he would become a dictator. Second, he
would follow his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, and end American democracy,
replacing it with a fascist regime. His evil actions are front page news on a
daily basis.
In 2018, Trump approved a government shutdown. It lasted for
35 days and became the longest in history.
Trump’s current decision to shut down our government will
exceed that number this week. Currently, as I write this article, it has lasted
for 33 days, 11 hours, 39 minutes and 30 seconds.
Trump’s tactics are transparent, old, and ineffective for
the informed American. He lies about his own failures, and attempts to place
blame on his enemies. 
[President Donald Trump said in an interview aired on Sunday
that he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats who are demanding negotiations to
extend the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. Echoing congressional
Republicans, the president said on CBS’ “60 Minutes” he’ll negotiate only when
the government is reopened.]
Because of the government shutdown, premiums for Americans
covered by the Affordable Care Act increased by an average of 360 percent
yesterday. As Trump’s shutdown continues, millions of Americans will no longer
have healthcare.
I hope and pray that Washington Democrats have learned
lessons from the past. They must not surrender to the bully illegally residing
in our Whtie House. Dictators only survive when the people begin to abandon
their morals and principles. As the quality of life begins to decline, life is
no longer worth living.
I am three weeks younger than your Fuhrer. I am extremely
pleased that I will not be living long enough to experience the atrocities, the
results of a second illegitimate Trump presidency. 
It’s much too late for “God to bless America.” The
Antichrist is in control of your future.
