A MESSAGE TO HUTCH REGARDING HILLARY

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

A MESSAGE TO HUTCH
.
Hutch, I am truly shocked by you. Generally you are a very efficient thinker, but in this case you seem to think that in order to be against Trump, we have to embrace Hillary. That's the kind of thinking that got us Trump in the first place, because there are a lot of very thoughtful people who saw right through that flawed logic and refused to vote for either one of them.  But those of you who did buy into that nonsense allowed the Democratic establishment to manipulate you into engaging in the pick-a-bigot game. I don't play that. If the Democratic Party would have nominated David Duke would you have voted for him? Well, the Clintons are no better. Twenty-seven years later the Black community is STILL suffering from what the Clintons did to us.
.
I don't like Hillary or Trump, and I'm going to fight against both of them, regardless to how Clinton loyalist feel about it. One is just as bad as the other, so just because I refuse to drink cyanide, doesn't mean that I have an obligation to consume strychnine. You see, I don’t become enamored with personalities.  I fight for and against issues, and in this case, both Trump, and Hillary, represent bigotry, corruption, and injustice - and from my point of view, there’s no such thing as a lessor bigot. A bigot is a bigot - period.
.
So I'm currently on Hillary because she doesn't seem to get the point. She doesn’t seem to realize that it’s time for her to get the hell off the political stage; she’s done enough damage. But due to her unbridled ego and ambition, I believe she's planning on running again in 2020.  So it is my intent to inform the people of exactly who she really is in order to nip that in the bud. But that doesn't mean that I can't also go after Trump. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other, so it's the height of stupidity to try to conflate the two. It constitutes nothing less than giving one bigot a pass, and any Black person who embraces that philosophy is a damn fool.
.
Hillary supporters - like yourself - like to recite the DNC mantra that "If you don't like Hillary you must like Trump." That is so goddamn childish and lame that it's unbelievable that they would even try to pass that nonsense off to thinking adults.  Actually, the people should be pissed at the Democratic Party for thinking that we would be so stupid as go for that. If they had any respect for us they would have recognized is as an insult to our intelligence, and for many of us it was just that.  That's why we have Trump in the Oval Office today, because hoards of Democrats voted 3rd party, like myself, or didn't vote at all. The thinking people among us realized that if they could get us to pick between two corrupt and lying bigots this time, how many more corrupt and lying bigots are they going to try to get us to support in the future? So in that regard, it's good that Trump did win, because it should teach the DNC a lesson. 
.
So no, I don’t like Hillary, but neither do I like Trump, and I find that to be perfectly consistent with good and common sense:


.
Trump supporters are constantly claiming that "Deep State" is out to get him. Deep State is not “out to get” Trump, they're simply trying to protect America from an idiot. That’s their job. Trump is his own worst enemy, and he has made it clear that he's unfit for office. Even his own staff is disgusted with him, that's why the White House is leaking like a sieve. The only people who care about Trump are a handful of bigots, and even THEY'RE beginning to see the light, because it seems that everything he does and says is immature and stupid. So in terms of getting the people's admiration and respect, becoming president was the very worst thing that could have ever happened to Trump, because it’s placed his immaturity, narcissism, and gross ignorance on public display. White House aides can’t stop talking about President Trump like he’s a toddler.
.
The real problem is, Putin makes Trump look like the lightweight he is, and that makes the American people look like lightweights. Leaders all over the world know that the best way to get whatever they want out of Trump is to give him a parade, because at his core Trump is an insecure, self-absorbed man-child desperately seeking validation. He’s so emotionally immature that the only thing important to him is self-aggrandizement. That’s why he’s so fixated on the myth that he had the biggest crowds in history at his inauguration. He seems determined to prove that he’s a great man who is adored by the masses, so he doesn’t have time to be worried about little “petty” things like the suffering of the American people or the sorry state of this nation, that’s irrelevant. The only thing that’s important to him is to prove that the American people love and admire Donald Trump, and any evidence that suggests otherwise is “fake news.” The man is absolutely delusional, and anyone who can’t see that is also less than fully grounded - and that’s far more than just an opinion, it's the general consensus of the American people. Read the polls.
.
That makes him an extremely dangerous man, because he'll put self before country every time. He doesn't know how to think in any other way. Look at his behavior in the current North Korean nuclear crisis, for example. He's capable of starting WWIII just to raise his poll numbers, but he's so clueless he could also do it inadvertently. Without thinking it through, discussing it with his staff, or even giving it a second thought, he told the North Koreans, "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen." That was a needlessly stupid escalation of a very dangerous situation. He's playing a game of "chicken," with another egomaniacal lunatic with the lives of the American people. That alone shows that he's completely irresponsible.
.
His poor judgement and self-absorbed nature could even be seen when he spoke at a Boy Scout jamboree where it is traditional to give uplifting and patriotic speeches to our youth, but his speech was all about Donald Trump: "Boy, you have a lot of people here. The press will say it's about 200 people. It looks like about 45,000 people. You set a record today. You set a record." And then he goes on to say, referring to election night before an audience of children, "But do you remember that incredible night with the maps and the Republicans are red and the Democrats are blue, and that map was so red, it was unbelievable, and they didn't know what to say?" It was so over-the-top that the Boy Scouts of America had to issue a public apology for the conduct of the President of the United States. Politico reported:
.
“The head of the Boy Scouts of America apologized to the group’s members on Thursday after President Donald Trump delivered a meandering, controversial and frequently political speech to the organization's National Jamboree on Monday. ‘I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree,’ Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh said in a letter published online. ‘That was never our intent.’ . . . Surbaugh noted in the letter that the group is nonpartisan and has had a ‘long-standing tradition’ of inviting the sitting president to speak at the event since its inception in 1937. He reiterated that Trump’s appearance at the gathering was ‘no way an endorsement of any person, party or policies.”’
.
Now that has to be a first, for the Boy Scouts to have to apologize for the behavior of the President of the United States. It clearly demonstrates the Donald Trump's horrible judgement, the man we’d have to depend on if this nation comes under threat. Are you frightened yet? If not, there’s something wrong with you . . .
