The Trumptopian Plan

 Who's to say if democracy was on the decline before Donald Trump became President?  I have a friend  who swears Donald Trump only is a symptom of the eventual collapse of American democracy.  Thinking back I cannot recall any leaders who showed a propensity for autocratic dictatorial rule.  On the contrary the American Presidency has remained a symbol of the virtues of a free society, even if it was a facade.  Perhaps they were scheming behind the scenes, and the obvious catalyst for the loss of American democratic sovereignty was the rise of "Globalism."  Opening America to the world economic market was just a way to make more profit.  The desire to screw the common worker out of their wages in lieu of more riches to the wealthy seems Trumptopian.  He has a track record of such ill practices, hiring workers to to flip a casino and refusing to pay them for various reasons.  The common workers don't deserve respect, much like freed slaves never earned the respect they deserved as equal human beings after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.  Jim Crow laws in Louisiana were the dogma that reinforced imported African workers were not the same as pure bred Americans.  Religion mitigates this point of view, and without the virtues of God and Christianity this perspective is the blaring blight on the history of America.  Slavery.  Most of us thought we had moved past this as a nation, but the presence of Donald Trump, particularly in the American Presidency seemed to condone this anachronistic, inane, and inappropriate opinion.  Without the Presidency Donald Trump was innocuous.  With the Presidency the fabric of American governance unraveled.  Without a solid leader versed in more than petty real estate economics, the tenets of American freedom, democracy, and diplomacy waned.  Instead Trump used his power to further extend his shallow capitalist ideals.  Perhaps they crossed the boundaries of world politics, and his idea that money solves all ills fell short for American leadership.  There is a difference in world politics, and Globalization proved more harmful to America in the long run.  Consequently we are flooded with cheaply made Chinese products, foods that are grown in foreign countries, drugs that grossly are inflated in price, poor health care, and a polluted environment.  BRAC or Base Realignment and Closure could be an appropriate metaphor for this change.  When the powers at be decided to move Ground Forces Command to Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty), quickly and easily the forsook the city of Fayetteville.  A value judgement was made valuing Ground Forces Command above all else.  No one stopped to think of the ramifications to Cumberland Country.  Now all we hear is how bad Fort Liberty is for quality of life to soldiers.  Crime, murder, and suicide are common.  Fayetteville has succumbed, and there is little to keep her afloat.  It is worse than Viet Nam.  Right now we don't know who the real enemy is, but it seems to be the newly emerged Trumptista party.  We just want to kill everyone that doesn't look or talk like us.  Let's start with the Jews.   Evidently Jesus is more of a threat to radical Muslims.  Without evoking the Israeli Palestinian Conflict, radical Islam has been the instigator of terrorism for a long time.  Trump's Presidency, his weakness as a diplomat and foreign liaison ushered in this extremism.  In reality with his autocratic and dictatorial desires, never was he qualified to represent American freedom and democracy.  The voters made a mistake electing him, and whatever perception they had of him was not true.  Even as his wrong doing is exposed and punished, zealots continue to think he should return to the Presidency.  I don't feel that there is any way Trump could win again.  The average citizens of this country have had enough.  The zealots may consider moving to a Third World county where they can fight in the streets like wild dogs.
