America in the 21st Century: The Nation Known for its Anger, Hatred, and Violence

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

All prejudices are baseless and therefore displays of extreme ignorance. The primary reason the United States of America has never been a great nation can be found in the fact that racism and bigotry among millions of our nation’s people have never been addressed honestly or taken seriously. It is a fact that hate is a stronger emotion than love.

For the informed American, it has been no secret that whatever the party on the right side of the aisle in the Capitol Building calls itself, it has been composed of men and women who are racists and bigots for more than 45 years.

It is much easier to accept and understand how easy it was for Trump and his handler, Vladimir Putin, to take control of our nation’s government when we accept the fact that absolute power over this nation has been the goal of one-half of our country’s elected and appointed leaders for more than 45 years. These fascist-leaning members of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches found a leader afflicted with a mental disease known as malignant narcissism. Trump is easily controlled when he is given undeserved praise and feigned fealty.

THE TRUTH IS, TRUMP WAS RAISED IN A FAMILY COMPOSED OF RACISTS AND BIGOTS

Trump’s grandfather, Fredrich, immigrated to America in 1885, at the age of 16. He left Germany to avoid compulsory military service. Fredrich was a draft dodger long before his grandson.

In the early 1900’s, Fredrich attempted to repatriate. He married, but in 1905 he was permanently banished based on his refusal to serve in the military. After returning to the United States, Thump’s father, Fred Trump, was born in the Bronx in October of 1905.

There were reports claiming that a young Fred Trump had been seen attending at least two KKK rallies in New York.

MOVING ON TO 2015

Trump first revealed his own prejudice in 2012 when he began his false claim that President Obama was not an American citizen. After declaring his intent to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in June of 2015, his speeches became dominated by racist rants. He was immediately adopted as their leader by millions of like-minded men and women across America.

In Charlottesville, Virginia, in August of 2017, white supremacists held a hate rally. After a riot, in which one young woman was murdered, Trump confirmed the fact that he was the leader of America’s neo-Nazi movement when he told America, “there were good people on both sides.” More than 400,000 men and women who lost their lives fighting against fascism in wWII rolled over in their graves.

A SECOND TERM WORSE THAN THE FIRST

Every action Trump has taken since January 20, 2025, has been focused on racism. Efforts to harm minorities include voter suppression, reduction in funds for social programs, and punishing DEI participants for their attempts to fulfill our Founding Father’s dream of complete equality for all Americans.

His war on immigration is being fought by his own, personal Gestapo called ICE.

ICE continues to murder innocent men and women while making false claims that they were attacked.

A side effect of ICE’ violence has become more evident with every passing day. All legitimate law enforcement officers are facing more danger in our city’s streets because of ICE.

THE BOTTOM LINE

My fellow patriotic Americans, it’s time to face reality. We are under attack and the enemy is our own government and the fascists who support Fuhrer Trump and his Nazi army.

While we still have the right to vote, please vote every man and woman with an “R” next to his or her name out of Washington. The dictator in the Oval Office must be evicted. This is our country, not his.
