Subject: RE: BS: Barthes: explanation of Trump's appeal
"But I think it is dishonourable to keep badmouthing all the people who voted for him,"
I am not Al
Trump won the day iby instigating fear and Xenophobic mistrust to a degree that has not been seen since the 1930s
Whatever their reason for voting, I have concentrated on what Trump has done and what he intends to do - not on those who voted for him and it is that I believe it
I get tired of pointing out that (a) The Nazis took the majority in the 1930s and (b)Trump was elected on a numerical minority.
It is down to those who support Trump to explain why, given what is happening.
The damage he isdoing is beyond question.
Another piece of news for his supporters to ignore
He has just announced that, rather than explaining his links with Russia he intends to prosecute those who have exposed his possibly criminal and certainly unconstitutional activities - that includes members of teh Security forces.
