Trump Opens the Racist, Xenophobic Gates of Hell

A white Kansas man screaming, “Get out of my country,” opened fire on a trio of men at a bar in Olathe, Kansas, killing one and seriously injuring two others. The two men who were the object of the shooter’s ire were Indian engineers who worked at a technology company.

This past December in Michigan, a white U.S. military veteran shot a store clerk of Indian descent in the face because he thought the man was a terrorist and member of ISIS.

On a recent United flight out of Chicago, a white man was tossed off the plan by the crew after verbally attacking a Pakistani couple with racist remarks about bombs in their luggage.

Welcome to Trump’s America. The above incidents are only the most recent in a string of racist attacks in this country on people who “look Muslim.” Our Dear Leader has opened the gates of racist, xenophobic hell and every angry redneck, PTSD suffering veteran, mentally ill gun owner and self-described patriot feels they have the green light to save ‘Murica from the terrorists by shooting first and asking questions later. Too stupid and blinded by bigotry to be able to discern the difference between someone from the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia or Africa, who could be Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Bahai or evangelical Christians, our volunteer army of dangerous racial purists are ready to jump to any conclusion and blast away.

Folks, this is just the beginning. As long as Trump is in office, these incidents will continue and grow ever more violent. And Muslim’s, real and imagined, aren’t the only target. Racist, anti-sematic attacks are also on the rise across America, from graffiti to cemetery vandalism to physical assaults, and the only reason for this is the virulent bile that escapes from Donald Trump’s mouth.

America is in a state of rapid decay. We are walking in the footsteps of the German’s in the 1930s, unable to push back against the growing landslide of hate and thugishness rolling over everything in its path. I hope I am wrong, but I have serious doubts that we, the people, can work within the system to bring about change before our total collapse. The Republican Congress won’t impeach Trump. What is left but the power of the people? Tell me.

The coal rolling clowns of the Confederacy

The above photo should be enough to clue you in on the IQ level of the latest Obama “protesters.” Primarily Southern boys who drive big, fuel gulping trucks, this group of Einsteins enjoy demonstrating their disdain for Obama’s support of clean air by modifying their diesel trucks with chimneys and equipment that forces extra fuel into the engine causing thick black smoke to pour out of the smoke stacks. They call it coal rolling.

“I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all,” a salesperson of custom coal rolling equipment told David Weigel of Slate magazine. “If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck — that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you.”

Clean air? Screw you.

What’s next, fellas? Cow dung in the town’s water supply? Clean water? Screw you. Cover our crops with toxic chemicals? (Wait, we’re already doing that). Michelle Obama wants kids to grow up healthy. Screw you. We want ‘em to grow up…not healthy. Obama supports our troops. We don’t? This argument isn’t going the way it should.

“Wait a minute, Elmer. It’s a trap.”
“It is?”
“They’re tryin’ to get us to analyze stuff.”
“Damn them.”
“You know Obama probably likes to analyze stuff.”
“Analyze stuff? Screw you.”
“That’s the spirit.”
