The White House

While America is accosted with "White" lies, perceptions of White Nationalist sentiments by affluent, mostly Republican, Trump demagogues, America once again has become divided.  I don't remember this divide during the Clinton administration, because Multiculturalism was a strong ethos in their platform.  "It Takes a Village" is a far cry from the divisiveness of the Trump Clan's KKK propaganda.  Donning white hoods, spewing racist rhetoric, and further inciting blind allegiance may have worked in fledgling America, but we have evolved.   We are lucky to have MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace, and Joy Reid to sort through the muck.  There is so much of it, mostly lies.  They fact check Trump's lie tongue and cheek, because to synthesize it at face value is almost fatal.  The depth, darkness, and debility of our President's vitriol is profound.  It attempts to paralyze my spirit, and consequently it takes active denial to neutralize its false message.  In a nutshell to recount the Republican National "Convention," one must understand that it was not a convention at all.  Startlingly it was a glimpse into the real Trump reality.  While in the presidency for almost a full term, a curtain has been drawn closed surrounding the Trump base.  White supremacist militia members have emerged only at the behest of the president.  Did a seventeen year old Illinois extremists suddenly decide to travel across state lines to defend personal property and lives in the midst of "Black Lives Matter" protests?  Was Kyle Rittenhouse summoned to make this trek and murder two Americans.  How is he different than Dylan Roof, James Holmes, Eric Harris, or Dylan Klebold except that his opportunity was more mainstream.  He choose a volatile, public, civil dispute as a place to interject his opinion.  What did he think he was doing other than playing G.I. Joe?  President Trump effectively is manipulating his base like a competent cult leader.  In the greatest stealth he provokes altercation and seduces those who know no better.  One would think affluent, upper class, business owners would know better.  They know not to kill innocent people in public.  Their murder is clandestine intentional or not.  It unfolds in people's lives behind the scenes in intimate ways which defy public understanding.  Addiction.  Contamination.  Gluttony.  Traps are set and their patrons retreat to have revenue collected by lackeys.  Never must they confront the horror of their wealth.  They are immune from these ills, sheltered in place in their gated communities in Houston, at their country clubs, and at illegal political rallies in the "People's House."  Most insultingly what did President Trump call this house with a smirk on his face leaning on one elbow like he was having sex?   The answer was the White House, because he feels it is for whites.  I can think of no other more profound abdication, insulting of America, and personal cry for help than these words.  It would seem he wants to be put out of his misery as a martyr for evil.
