[dropcap]I [/dropcap]am a Christian white man from Texas, and I hope I am wrong in what I am about to say.
Most of the white people of America took a desperate gamble Tuesday night, in electing Donald Trump. I agree that the system is rotten and needs a good shaking up, and that is what this election will do. But Donald Trump is not the man for the job. He is too unstable personally, too inexperienced politically, and has too little respect for the Constitution and the founding ideals of the United States of America.
I would like to think that, having won the White House, Donald Trump will now rule with wisdom and compassion. But how can he? Donald Trump rose to power the same way Hitler did – by seizing on the frustration of the electorate, in a campaign that traded heavily on hate, fear, bullying, and a mountain of lies. By all objective measures, he is the least truthful of all the candidates in this year’s field. He will have to continue trading on those satanic forces in order to maintain credibility with his base. Now that he has gained power the way Hitler did, he will most likely use power the way Hitler did – including brutal physical, economic, and psychological suppression of all opposition, and violent segregation of religious minorities, especially Muslims. And most importantly, he will most likely do for America what Hitler did for Germany.
