May God forgive me as there will be no reconciliation [View all]

between myself and how Trump used hate and bigotry to get into office. There will be no forgiveness for those who voted for this evil man! or those who perceived a false equivalency between the two candidates and chose to vote 3rd party or to abstain from voting.

My mother was raised during WWII in Paris, and remembers how a tyrant will attempt to appeal to various groups separately depending...in order to have the support of enough people, enough of the time. I don't want to discuss the story of my mother and her family here, only to say she lost three family members in the war at the hands of the Nazis! The Vichy Government in France collaborated with the Nazi, and send thousands to their death hoping eventually it would all be ok.

Below is the first article written about Hitler in guess where?
The New York Times

It Reads....

"Several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes."

"You can't expect the masses to understand or appreciate your finer real aims. You must feed the masses with cruder morsels and ideas like anti-Semitism. It would be politically all wrong to tell them the truth about where you really are leading them."
