In a comment following the post titled: “A kind reminder of something you may have forgotten or never knew,” reader Judy Thompson told how she dealt with her own father’s bigotry.
The following is my response.
Thank you, Judy,
The single strongest emotion humans have is fear. It is the ultimate survival emotion because of its power to remove us from danger.
Hatred survives in human evolution because it devolves from fear. You cannot hate without fear. If your father hated blacks (or Jews, Catholics, etc., etc.), it’s because he feared them.
I hate Trump’s bigot party, the MAGAs, because I fear them. I fear what they did on 1/6; I fear what they are doing to us now, and what they could do in the future.
But, Judy, they hate you and me because they fear us. They fear that we expose their cowardice, their dishonesty, their meaningless lives. They fear being discovered as weaklings and frauds who hide their impotency behind Trump’s bluster.
Trump, too, fears us, which is why he wishes to eliminate us. He, too, fears being revealed as a simpering, whimpering cartoon character, whose own father belittled him as a fool and a weakling.
Trump boasts so much to avoid being shown as small. He lies incessantly because the truth diminishes him.
He insults anyone who does not praise him because, deep down, he fears that the only way he can succeed is by stepping on the bodies of those who have not had the advantages he has had in life.
Trump’s repeated attacks on women reveal a coward in need of victims to prove his false claims of strength.
He reportedly has said, while in a military cemetery, the words of a coward, “Why do you people all say that these guys (soldiers) who get wounded or killed are heroes? They’re suckers for going in the first place, and they’re losers.” and “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
As for immigrants, remember this: Picking on helpless people who only are trying to improve their lives is not a sign of strength. It’s a sign of weakness and cowardice.
His massive cruelty toward immigrants is a classic symptom of his weakness. The abject fealty of his MAGA followers is the classic symptom of their inferior ability, morality, honesty, and courage — their need to have a protector who will excuse their personal failures.
Behind Trump’s bluster lies a cringing coward with fake heel spurs. His bluster attracts the cowardly, like-minded Republican Party and the pitiful MAGAs.
He surrounds himself with ignorant people, who lack relevant experience, and whose sole attribute is to fawn and grovel, boosting Trump’s fragile ego: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.(controversial views are far outside mainstream public health); Pete Hegseth (no traditional defense management experience); Tulsi Gabbard (history of praising our enemies, controversial figures and unorthodox foreign policy views); Matt Gaetz (proven liar on many counts); Kash Patel (lack of traditional law enforcement experience prior} Linda McMahon (no professional background in education policy)
Opinion commentators have even labeled Trump’s overall cabinet, including Kennedy, among the worst in U.S. history.
Longtime Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has openly said that the opinion side of Fox’s programming is “strictly to be entertaining” and doesn’t follow journalistic rules like straight news reporting. In other words, they can lie like dogs, and if people are foolish enough to believe their lies, it’s what Trump wants.
If you wonder why Trump pardoned every 1/6 traitor who tried to overthrow the U.S. government, wonder no more. Birds of a feather flock together.
Bigots flock with bigots. Criminals flock with criminals. Cowards flock with cowards. Traitors flock with traitors. And bigot Trump and his MAGAs flock with other bigoted liars.
We only can pray that before the next elections, the cowards in America have the minority voices.
