Trump fooled you once, shame on him, if you vote for him twice shame on you.

And Trump in behalf of all Americans wants to get out of the World Human Organization but keep up the American troops in Yemen.
You might like Trump because he is entertaining, but America needs more than a clown to lead and be its President.

Listening to the song Iron Sky of Paolo Nutini since 2014 to the Charles Chaplin speech from The Great Dictator, made me think that still so sadly true that history repeats. That some people have let some hater-machine man lead them as cattle. With all due respect to the cattle. Cattle don’t hate other cattle. Only homo sapiens are haters, sociopaths, racists, homophobes,misogynists.

It’s despairing to see by their own principles, being a hypocrite to take on the bible when he’s on his third wife, his sidekick wife. And those that support him, don’t want to see the incongruity of his actions and his words. He doesn’t respect women, but he will give me a job.

Trump supporters have chosen to believe and repeat it as a mantra, a catchy phrase, a marketing tool, to a propaganda that only benefits Trump and his rich friends. He uses the oldest fuel white poor people thinks they have over others: their white skin.

Somehow, their white skin didn’t help much since they are powerless and seeking anyone who gonna give them what their whiteness per she wasn’t capable to give them. Being white is not sufficient for not getting in life where you have dreamt of. That fact alone should be enough to make you realize that hating someone else because they don’t look like you won’t change the fact that you haven’t achieved what you had dreamt about for your life. And hating, humiliating others won’t make your dreams come true either. Nor hating yourself. You don’t understand why you didn’t get the things you wished for out of life? It’s certainly not because of other poor people, people with different skin color, it’s more evident because of the rich and power people making the economy and passing laws that only on their own interests .

The Great Dictator 1940 by the genius Charles Chaplin.

‘To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
And the power they took from the people will return to the people
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish
Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Let us use that power!
Let us all unite!’

Trump supporters don’t want to see that if he behaves despicably towards women, and nature and democracy, he will not honor in making their lives better by keeping jobs within USA, jobs that destroyed the natural resources, polluting the planet, and the consequences of these actions are the poor folks that pay them. And the poor here are yourselves. It’s an illusion, and it’s evil to your kids, leaving them with worse climate to live in.

Charles Chaplin saw Hitler as an evil (and Mussolini) force before many wanted to see his monstrosity, because before his movie, it was well known in the USA and Great Britain what was going on in those concentration camps. But the rich countries didn’t have a “good” reason to start a war on evil until Pear Harbor.

And today people support a man that separate parents from their children because they were seeking a better life, not much , a job to survive.

A president from a civilized (so far) country says that if he looses the election, he doesn’t know if he will accept it? And he still has some supporters? These same supporters reminds me of the frenzy that Hitler produced on the Germans, taking 8 million out of unemployment, giving their egos a dream of being part of a superior race.

Where was Hitler when the bombs have been dropped in Germany? Women being raped by soviet soldiers? His soldiers dying like flies? The coward had killed himself for not be taken in account. He didn’t have the balls for that! And all that was possible by destroying the democracy. Getting rid of the opposition, and free journalism.

You won’t vote for Biden, okay. But you can’t give the power to a man that threats to not respect a system that put him in there in the first place.
After these long 4 years, fellow Trump supporter, you have seen what he is not capable of, to keep the United States united. Being a civil, respectful, when tackling issues that different opinions arise.

Would have mocked about a work colleague that has a handicap publicly like Trump did about that journalist? If you know how to behave better than the president, why you want him to lead your country? You don’t need to have a Phd to understand it.

The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

He let thousand of people down and die for his lack of making all Americans matter. It didn’t happen to you. YET. Think, if he had left it happened to others, why not when it will happen to you or your loved ones?

Trump didn’t defend Black Lives Matter movement, demands, rights. But you’re not black, you are okay with that dear Trump supporter, but when he will not defend you against his white millionaire friends, maybe then you will understand that you can’t be evil and a good guy at the same time.

#BlackLivesMatter

Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Let us use that power!
Let us all unite!’
