The Election: A Choice Between Darkness and Light

Maybe Donald Trump is not one of the biggest liars in the history of the world.  Perhaps he has been horribly misjudged and his rampaging falsehoods are nothing more than simple misunderstandings.  Maybe the more than 10,000 whoppers that he supposedly told during the four years he spent as President can be blamed on something organic, such as a hearing impairment or a persistent brain fart.
 
But what about all the rancid name-calling in which he engages?   Can that be explained away as well?
 
This week following his ‘racist-palooza’ at Madison Square Garden in New York City, an event in which various speakers launched verbal attacks against migrants, Jews, Blacks, and, in particular, Puerto Ricans, Trump ignored numerous calls for a personal apology – he does not do apologies – and instead tried to lighten the entire incident by referring to that five-hour-plus name-calling extravaganza as a “love fest.”   He has also taken to referring to the January 6th, 2021, attack on the US Capitol as “a day of love,” while totally ignoring the deaths, injuries, destruction of property, and total mayhem that ensued that day, much of it at his direction.
 
Love, love, love – all you need is love!
 
Maybe Donald Trump’s obvious mental shortcomings trick him into believing others are also held back by challenges like having a “low IQ,” and maybe he actually suffers from a delusion which makes him believe that he is as intelligent as Kamala Harris.  

And Trump's penchant for calling highly successful women “nasty,” what is with that?  First it was Hillary, then Kamala, and now Michelle Obama.  On a bad day (for Michelle Obama) her public approval rating is above 50 percent while Trump’s languishes below forty, and on a good day she is at 60 percent or better and he is still stuck in the thirties.
 
Smart, successful women seem to scare the crap out of Trump.   (It’s a good thing he has a diaper to catch it!)  He retaliates to the supposed threat they pose by name-calling.  A woman who intimidates Donald John can expect to be publicly labeled as “low IQ,” a "radical” or a “Nancy Pelosi liberal,” or even a “communist.”   And he will also call her “nasty.”
 
It seems as though an underwear model who is basically posing nude while in the full-flower of pregnancy is some sort of artiste, and a porn star spanking a flabby real estate developer and reality television personality with a rolled-up magazine is just a working girl trying to get by – but any prominent female who speaks forcefully and intelligently about things that Trump either doesn’t agree with or doesn’t understand is “nasty.”
 
"Nasty” is just a Trump shorthand to cover his inability to come up with something more clever.
 
Racism and rebellion have nothing to do with love, and most of Trump’s name-calling is just him projecting his own faults and shortcomings onto others.   Hillary, Kamala, and Michelle have never paid a porn star for a spanking – but guess who has.  And none of those fine ladies have ever boasted about grabbing another human being by the crotch!

We all know who the "nasty" person is, whether we will admit it or not.
 
Let this be your guide:  Would you trust Donald Trump to babysit your children or grandchildren – or even allow him to be in the same room with them without adult supervision?

And if he can't be trusted around innocent children, why the heck would we give him access to the nuclear codes and control of the United States Armed Forces?

Donald Trump is a very nasty man stumbling around in mine field of bitter darkness, and Kamala Harris is the bright beacon of the future calling us forward.

This election should be the easiest political choice that any of us will ever face.
