Donald Trump has asserted a number of preposterous propositions in his campaign to become The President of the United States (POTUS). The most notable of his propositions exemplify extreme xenophobia to the delight of the most reactionary sector of the US population.
It appears that Herr Trump wants to deport all Muslims and build a wall to keep out Mexicans. Herr Trump tells us that Mexicans are rapists and thieves.
It would be helpful if Herr Trump could clarify which Muslims and/or Mexicans he wants to throw out or keep out. It would be helpful if Herr Trump could clarify who are the rapists and thieves.
Is he referring to working class Muslims and Mexicans? Is he referring to Muslims and Mexicans who are members of the bourgeoisie? Does he intend to make a distinction between the classes as he enacts policies of mass discrimination?
Does the working class in the USA want their brothers and sisters who are members of the working class in Mexico and/or Middle Eastern countries to be repressed, oppressed and discriminated against?
Are there any working-class people in the US who have a clue about what is going on?
Great article James! Trump is a real danger to not only the United States but the whole world. He appeals to the most vile instincts of the far right. If he is elected, God save our freedoms!
I agree. The signs of fascism, civil disobedience, and genocides are fore shadowed, as if history repeats itself in slow time motion, if we can catch a glimpse.
