Donald Trump was in Gettysburg, PA, vomiting up his usual mixture of lies, venom, bigotry and unreality to an audience of clueless people who dont understand that they are pawns in his exercise of self-love.
This is hallowed ground where Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. And Trump has taken a huge crap on it. Its beyond disgusting. Lincoln, perhaps our greatest president, and those who died at Gettysburg, have been disrespected by someone who needs to be ostracized from society and forgotten. A man who has no place among people who cherish democracy. A clueless man with no consciousness, decency, or even humanity.
Are we supposed to pity the fools there cheering him? Sorry, but Im out of the capacity to feel sorry for those who are willfully blind. To be blunt, my feelings towards his backers are: Fuck Them. Let them drown in their own ignorance and their stubborn refusal to recognize reality.
Its the Democratic Party that has always done what is possible to help the downtrodden. Those who are foolish or stupid enough to think the GOP, or Trump, is there to help them, deserve the platter of bullshit they are being served.
The hallowed ground of Gettysburg will have to be fumigated to wipe away the stench of Trumps presence there. Thankfully, Hillary will be our next president and we can start to heal the divisiveness to the degree that the GOP allows us to. Hopefully, the GOP will soon go the way of Trump and make room for a sane opposition party.

(42,751 posts)I'm convinced at this point he doesn't know how to act or speak any different.
And always remember, this PoS is the best the GOP could come up with.

(10,252 posts)They are ignorant. They are deeply deeply infected with the 3 poisons of ignorance, hatred, and greed. They are not happy people. They stew in their own fear and hate-mongering. And yes, as a Buddhist I feel sorry for them. That doesn't mean that they get a free pass to continue to be stupid and ignorant and filled with fear and hatred. It just means that my experience of them is one of deep sorrow. Their karma will unfold based on their mental attitudes of now. I refuse to hate the haters. When they go lower, we go higher!

(14,337 posts)and my daughter even more so. I've done family genealogy for decades. Two years ago we went to Gettysburg Battlefield to see the Monument to her Great-Great-GreatGrandfather's Unit: NYC 47th Infantry nicknamed "Howe's German Rifles". Why? They were majority German Immigrants who spoke very little English. Her GGGGrandfather was that and also 42 years old. He was wounded on the battlefield.
Trump is a disgrace to all Military. Civil War Soldiers are all dead now. Let them rest in peace. Not to be used as props in his campaign.

(15,031 posts)Trump pays lip service to the military. And he also pays lip service to what we consider to be decency.
This is a hollow man with no idea of what is decent, or even what is sane. He's an example of someone/something that is alien and obscene. He's a reflection on how sick many in our society have become. They have bought into a bullshit artist who might as well be working on a used car lot, or selling swamp land in Florida.
Let those who come after us learn from this disgusting stain on humanity named Trump, and never allow it to rise again.
