Trump is a
Threat
Donald
Trump is a massive danger to democracy. First in America. Secondly
all around the world. Trump has threatened to deport six million
people, all illegal immigrants and close off America to 1.2 Billion
people.
He has also
threatened to jail his political opponent. He has hit out at what he
calls the lying media to a point that he has threatened to sue the
New York Times.
The 1st
amendment of the US Constitution is in focus here. It says:
"Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or
of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances."
Trump un
the other hand has said:
“One
of the things I’m gonna do, and this is only gonna make it tougher
for me, and I’ve never said this before, but one of the things I’m
gonna do if I win… is I’m gonna open up our libel laws so when
they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can
sue them and win lots of money. We’re gonna open up those libel
laws.
“With
me, they’re not protected, because I’m not like other
people…We’re gonna open up those libel laws, folks, and we’re
gonna have people sue you like you never get sued before.”
The 1st
amendment garantees the nation's right to a free press. It even
mentions the institution of the press by name. So Trump not only is
hostile to the media, but hostile to the US Constitution itself.
Trump's
supporters have begun to openly cry anti-sematic slogans at his
rallies and to call out Lugenpresse at the journalists covering his
rallies.
Lugenpresse
is what the NAZI's used to decry first the german media and then
foreign media, going so far as to outlaw listening to foreign
broadcasts. It means lying press and has anti-semetic connotation
from the third reich of Adolf Hitler.
Should we
really be surprised that a man who considers Hitlers speeches as
bedtime reading might emulate the National Socialist playbook.
Rounding
up 11 Million People
Trump's
second most famous policy is to deport all illegal immigrants. The
Department of Homeland security believes that there is about 11
million illegal immigrants in the USA.
What sort
of an infrstucture is required to rould up 11 million people?
Well for a
start you ould need a massive investment in internal security. The
FBI or possibly a whole new organisation would need a huge
recruitment drive to fill the thousands of agesnts required to root
out all illegals. Agents would be required to investigate workplace
to workplace and house to house demanding documents from citizens.
Citizens online interactions would be monitered to track down any
interactions with known illegals. The government would demand access
to your house, to your online space and to your life to round up all
illegals. In short we're talking about a Gestapo style police State.
And the defanged media would be powerless to oppose it.
Housing 11
Million People
It is going
to take some time ot process all of the people rounded up before you
could send them back to their nation of origin. That would require a
series of camps all over the nation on an unprecedented scale. In
truth it would dwarf even the Nazi camp program. Millions of people
vulnerable people would be held in detention at a time.
What
happens next?
What do you
think happens when the most powerful nation in the world gathers
together it's percieved enemies from within under a police state?
Examples from the mid 20th century come to mind and they
are not encouraging.
Jailing
Political Opponents
Jailing
your political opponents is a time honoured tradition of dictators
throught history and today. Today those who oppose Vladimir Putin are
deprived of their freedom and if outside of Russian legal means their
lives.
Kim Jon Un,
Robert Mugabe, The Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran, of today through to
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, of
the twentieth century to historical dictators like Napoleon Boneparte
and Oliver Cromwell all practiced jailing of enemies. Today Trump
threatens Hillary with jail.
Trump is a
Threat
If you care
about democracy a vote for Trump is not possible. He is a dictator in
the making. He has told us how he would govern. Like a dictator. This
vote tomorrow might be your last. Vote wisely.
