The Truth

The truth is that Trump is seeking to repress all opposition.

The truth is that ICE is Trump’s Gestapo.

The truth is that Trump and his administration lie.

The truth is that the administration is condoning murder.

The truth is that the USA has become a repressive regime.

The truth is that the USA is a Police State.

The truth is that Trump is allying himself to the most obnoxious, most despicable fascist tyrants, torturers and war criminals.

The truth is that Trump wants to be KING OF THE WORLD!

Is the USA now a Police State?

Massive Resistance against Fascism in the USA!

All over America the majority is rising up to show their disgust at what MAGA is doing!!

Who Cares??

The trouble with sociopaths like Putin and Trump is that it’s all about winning by any means. They don’t care about the death and misery they leave in their wake.

Nuclear war, a major environmental catastrophe, civil war, millions of deaths, destruction and chaos. It matters little to them!

As long as they win!

Putin Battered! He’s done!

What a mess Russia is in! A failed totalitarian State ruled over by an increasingly demented Czar. Repression, oppression, propaganda and fear – the tools of the KGB deployed to keep the people down. Putin and his oligarchs skimming off the top while the people live in poverty.

Now his chef is frying him alive.

Who will step into this vacuum? Could be even worse!! There are a lot of extreme belligerent nationalists waiting in the wings.

Feel The Shame America

Feel The Shame America

You’re still fighting the Civil War

Where the North is rich

And the South is poor.

Where the white thugs

Fly their Confederate flags

And lynched black men

Lie in body bags.

Armed militia prowl the street

Believe the earth is flat

Or you’ll feel their heat.

A mad concoction of

White supremacy

And the KKKs version

Of Christianity.

The madman tapped into that hate

Stirred it up with ‘Make America Great’.

Empowering the racist thugs

Offering walls

To uneducated mugs.

You let it happen –

You voted him in.

Sanctioning vile hatred

Is your greatest sin.

You toadied and

Kept quiet

As the fascism grew

When all the time

You really knew.

So where do we place the blame?

America, have you no shame?

Opher 9.1.2021

First he was the spoilt brat, then the property tycoon, then TV star and finally President.

He hasn’t changed. Always the spoilt brat with his tantrums. Always the racist misogynist. The fascist speculator. The narcissistic sociopath.

But you were taken in. You voted for him.

You excused his crass behaviour, his surliness and tantrums. You excused his cheating, his mafia connections, his tax evasion and criminal activity. You excused his rudeness and arrogance. You excused the way he empowered the hate-filled.

You condoned his behaviour.

He was straight-talking. He connected with the working man.

You sucked up to the fascist chief.

You let him take over the Republican Party and install his family and associates.

You condoned him insulting allies and sucking up to despots.

You condoned his nepotism, cronyism and bulling.

You let him have the country and stood by while he lied, spread conspiracy and divided the nation.

You backed him.

Feel the shame America. You installed a fascist. You condoned a fascist and you stood by a fascist.

Feel the shame.

Poetry – Divided he stands

Divided he stands

Divided he stands.

Divided we fall.

It’s all about re-election.

Nothing else matters at all.

Black lives don’t matter

If you’re not in his base.

He’ll hit out in petulance

If you get in his face.

Do you think that he care

About poor George Floyd?

If it affects his ratings

He sure gets annoyed.

As for the country

Not a jot for you or me.

A bunch of leftist scum

Not worthy of a crumb.

Divided he stands.

Divided we fall.

It’s all about re-election.

Nothing else matters at all.

Opher – 5.6.2020

For Trump it is all about power and wealth, nothing else matter.

Black lives – he doesn’t care.

The environment – he doesn’t care.

Poverty – he doesn’t care.

Death from Covid-19 – he doesn’t care.

He feeds his base with lies, fake information and propaganda and they lap it up.

He has no wish to unite the country or show respect to anyone who disagrees with him.

He’d destroy democracy in order to gain re-election.

Poetry – Division is good for me

Division is good for me

Toughen up!

With tear gas, shields and guns,

What was peaceful becomes violent.

The country is at war

But the President

Won’t relent!

The hard man of law and order,

Who builds walls on his border,

Won’t be bent!

It’s a land where it is OK to be fascist;

When the rudest word is now socialist.

Where discrimination is the norm

And application of law is racist.

A country ruled by guns and knees

Which always ignores a victim’s pleas.

The country is at war

But the President

Won’t relent!

Opher – 2.5.2020

America is dissolving in a sea of division and hatred being stoked up by politicians.

Trump uses division, lies and propaganda to create fear and hatred.

He incites violence.

He empowers right-wing racists, white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

The propaganda machine is in full swing.

Are we approaching the end of the USA as a major global power??

Is America about to eat itself up? Are we on the verge of it destroying itself in a self-destructive civil war based on division, hate and conspiracy??

Looks like a possibility to me.

That’s what many of my American friends are reporting.

The Republican Party has been taken over by Trumpist authoritarian fascists who want power by any means. They are currently putting in the way to gain power unfairly. They are using all means possible – by excluding the votes of democrats and rigging the polls and by putting in place officials who will call it for them whatever the true vote.

Trump has put this in motion by contesting the election and claiming he was robbed when it is manifestly clear that he lost by some margin.

What will happen next time? Will this descend into a bloodbath? A Civil War that will destroy America as a global power? Or will it result in an authoritarian fascist government?

Either result is just as frightening.

This is a section from a Guardian article from yesterday.

‘Although most Americans have grown up taking its stable democracy for granted, this is also a society where violence is the norm, not the exception, from the genocide of Native Americans to slavery, from the civil war to four presidential assassinations, from gun violence that takes 40,000 lives a year to a military-industrial complex that has killed millions overseas.’

Is America going to eat itself up on a wave of fury born of ignorance, stupidity, lies and political conniving??

It started with the ludicrous extremism of the Tea Party – which, from here, appeared so extreme and silly that it was a joke. Except it wasn’t a joke. Half the population actually believe that silliness.

In a land run on ignorance, religious fanaticism and the rule of mobs, violence and guns, anything could happen. It’s a powder keg waiting for a spark and Trump, for his own ends, could just be the psychopathic nutcase willing to apply that spark.

If the USA implodes what does that leave in its wake? The rise of China? Russia or perhaps the EU?

Is there anybody who could stand up for global fairness and democracy? Is the whole world going to be thrown into a totalitarian nightmare? Perhaps even a massive truly global world war?

I don’t remember anything in my life being quite as dangerous as this.

What has Trump unleashed?

What is going on in the minds of the GOP?? Have they gone insane? Can’t they see the terrible outcomes from the paths they are taking?

The American Election – some thoughts

What happens in America affects the whole world.

The establishment will still control everything whoever gets in, but that does not mean that nothing changes. These two candidates represent radically different views on many issues.

It seems to me that if Trump gets re-elected he will continue to:

trash the environment

pollute for profit

undermine science

undermine experts

promote neo-nazi groups

promote guns

reduce women’s rights

promote evangelical christianity

feather his own nest with tax evasion, nepotism and corruption

continue his war scapegoating immigrants and muslims

cosy up to tyrants

break ties with allies

continue his trade wars

interfere in other country’s politics

foster division and fuel hatred

empower racists, xenophobes, misogynists and white supremacists

and continue to lie

Biden may be old, and he may represent the establishment (just like Trump does) but he might just begin to heal the massive wound that is tearing America apart. The wound that Trump is deliberately ripping open for his own ends. He will bring back some Presidential decorum and raise the status of America from out of the sewer Trump has put it into.

That’s how it looks to me. What do you think?
