8. The racism came first

The racism that has been a cancerous undercurrent-- and often blatant violence-- has permeated the United States since before its founding. The U.S. Constitution then codified it by describing the African slaves as less than human, (3/5ths of a person).

Following the Civil War, the failure of the U.S. government to prosecute and penalize the southern secessionists allowed this atrocity to continue to metastasize through the society till the present. Pathetic and beyond embarrassing. "The land of the free?" Not so much.

Fascism came later but the combination of those evil forces then multiplied by runaway capitalism and oligarchy has driven this country into a ditch it may never recover from.

Who are the arresting pigs? What are their names? their histories?

By their actions you shall know them. And these men are text-book Gestapo who do the bidding of their leader with no concern for law or justice. -- no matter how horrible that bidding might be. Will they stop at rape, I wonder? Will they hesitate, if so ordered, to line "detainees" up, force them to their knees before a ditch and put a bullet in the back of their heads?

77,000,000 people voted for this, and my thoughts for this Country's future grow darker each day.

Jobs such as Aides in Senior Living facilities are held by people from Nigeria, Somalia, Ethiopia, etc. Good hard working people who cared for my husband before he died, who walk the halls making sure we are all safe and comfortable in our apartments. One Nurse here was born in Nigeria, is a Naturalized citizen, and has lived in this country since she came over as a child.

What I see and read what Cosplay Noem and her brown shirts are doing to people who are NOT WASPs, is morally detestable. God and His Son, Jesus Christ are watching and will judge Noem and others harshly.

... will HAVE to answer for their crimes. "Truth and reconciliation" bullshit be damned. They are monsters who enjoy hurting people, just like that psychopath painting the White House walls with ketchup.
