This week's blog is a follow up to some comments I made last week about Trump, who I believe is the most dangerous man in America. Since this is political, I will ask you not to post any comments about it on my Facebook page. Feel free to comment right here in the comment section at the end of this blog. (I have it set to be approved by me only because I'm trying to keep spammers out.)
In response to people who have often defended Trump:
In all of our conversations about politics, you seem to keep missing the point that it is Trump in particular that I have issues with. I do not follow any particular politician, such as Biden, like Trumpsters idolize Trump. Their fascination with Trump and willingness to blindly follow him makes them a part of a cult.

I do not follow any particular political ideology. Democrats have some valid points. Conservatives have some valid points and Liberals have some valid points. Republicans traditionally have held some valid points, although lately all of their values have been washed away by their support of Trump. If you want to promote Republican or Conservative values, please choose someone else!
You keep claiming that Trump is not a politician. He is very much a politician simply by the fact that he argues against so-called Liberal points of view. The moment he declared his candidacy for President, he became a politician. So any argument that Trump is just a businessman running for office is no longer valid.
Whether you recognize it or not, Trump very much fits the personality profile of a narcissistic person who cares only about himself. He demands loyalty, and when he doesn't get it from someone he takes revenge against them.

This is not how it should work in the American government. I don't know of any other US president that has ever exhibited that kind of behavior.
Trump wants to be an autocrat. This is dangerous! Autocrats generally have character disorders.

Trump is too cozy with Putin and calls him a genius.

Many Trump supporters form their opinion of him by watching Fox News and other conservative outlets and claim that the mass media is trying to bring him down. This chart shows how the information that Trump supporters get is skewed.
This goes for far left news sources as well. To me this means that anyone who watches one-sided news is doing himself or herself a disservice by not getting both sides of an issue.
Trump has a long list of chargeable crimes.

Trump has a long history of racism in his real estate practices.

There appears to be evidence that Trump was part of a conspiracy for January 6.

The Big Lie is exactly what the name says. A big lie. Over 50 courts have agreed.

Finally, I'd like to mention that I was sexually abused at a young age. The person who did this to me was male. When all the revelations were coming out in 2016 about Trump sexually abusing women, I saw in him the same characteristics of the person who abused me. I wrote this poem about both Trump and my abuser during the 2016 Presidential campaign:
Victimized
There’s no way you will ever see
the lasting impression you made on me
I was young and naïve
I had trust in you
But who would believe
the things you could do?
I am strong
I have gone on
though I haven’t forgotten
Your actions were rotten
Now I hear of others just like you
with victims who hide the things you do
Reticent to reveal
for fear of redress
A cruel misdeal
that force of aggress
Coming out
with a muted shout
They are victimized one again
by society who retorts with blame.
