REMEMBERING TRUMP. PAST POSTS THAT REMIND US OF THE "REAL DONALD TRUMP."- MESSAGE TO ALL PROGRESSIVES: DON'T YOU SEE IT, EVEN NOW? PART 2.

The following was first published on 10/3/2016, about a month before the election. Naturally, it does not include any commentary on the BOGUS RESULTS THAT GAVE HIM THE WHITE HOUSE.

Progressives who continue to think that Donald Trumps Lack of:
-  Maturity.
-  Ability.
-  Integrity.
-  Emotional Stability.
etc...
and Highlighting These Traits on Talk Shows, are making a Crucial, and possibly Fatal Error, when it comes to defeating him at the polls. It is the same mistake that his Republican Party Foes made during the Republican Presidential Primary, and it results from Misunderstanding the Source of his Support, and the Degree to which they are willing to bring out the Vote for him, NO MATTER WHAT.

What does this Mean? It is not the "Revolution" that first the Tea Party, Then the Republican Party, And Finally Most Republican Party Presidential Candidates, Talked About. The Economic and Social Victories earned by the Obama Administration, (with the Incalculable Aid and Support of Progressive Politicians, Organizations, Activists, and Voters.) pretty much took the wind out of those claims.


No, Hard Core Trump Supporters go far beyond the Republican Party "Revolution." To them, Hate, Prejudice, Xenophobia, Racism, and Religious Zealotry are not Abstract Concepts to be studied, but Tangible and Useful Tactics to Influence Fanatics of every Stripe, and scare more Rational Potential Voters.

What is Rule #1- What Donald Trump has Done or Said, or will Do or Say, MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS LONG AS HE TOES THE EXTREMIST LINE.


AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION- Undergraduate summer diversity institutes accepting applications for 2021

If:  you know any students from backgrounds underrepresented in philosophy who are interested in pursuing further study in the field, I encourage you to share this call for applications for undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy with them.

 

Diversity institutes support students from groups underrepresented in the discipline of philosophy as they hone their philosophical interests, become part of a community, and gain insight into the graduate admissions process. Further details about each institute, including eligibility and application requirements, may be found on the APA page listing summer undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy.

REMEMBERING TRUMP. PAST POSTS THAT REMIND US OF THE "REAL DONALD TRUMP."- THE RESISTENCE.

 FROM THE FIRST IMPEACHMENT.

DONALD JR. ADMITS IT: "THE RESISTANCE" AGAINST DICTATOR DADDY.

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A TWEET BY DONALD TRUMP JR., ABOUT MITT ROMNEYS DECISION TO VOTE GUILTY TO CONVICT DONALD SENIOR IN HIS SENATE TRIAL.

He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so he’s joining them now, He’s now officially a member of the resistance & should be expelled from the @GOP.”

HISTORICALLY, WHEN THE TERM "RESISTANCE" IS USED, WHAT DOES IT GENERALLY REFER TO?


FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"Resistance movements during World War II occurred in every occupied country...AND INCLUDED GERMANS OPPOSED TO HITLER AND THE NAZI PARTY."

"Anti-Soviet partisans may refer to various resistance movements that opposed Soviet Union and its satellite states at various periods during the 20th century."

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE, AND IT PROVIDES US WITH MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TAKES THEIR LEAD FROM DICTATORS LIKE HITLER, STALIN, POL POT, MAO ZEDONG ETC.

REMEMBERING SOME OF THE GOOD, WHILE REMOVING THE EVIL #1.

DONALD TRUMPS 2ND IMPEACHMENT IS A VICTORY FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE 

THAT LIVING IN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC IS BETTER THAN A FASCIST STATE. 

SO WHILE WE TRY TO ELIMINATE THE LEGACY OF A SELF-CENTERED BLOWHARD, HIS 

CORRUPT CRONIES, AND THEIR RUSSIAN ALLIES, LET US REMEMBER THINGS THAT 

THEY COULD NOT DESTROY.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

#1.

IN PRAISE OF MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN.

SINCE TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN/FASCIST/RUSSIAN ALLIES CONTINUE TO MAKE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE, AND THE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL COWARDICE THAT IS EXHIBITED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE U.S. CONTINUES TO AID TRUMP BY THEIR INABILITY AND/OR UNWILLINGNESS TO DO, WELL, ANYTHING TO COUNTER HIS IRRATIONAL AND NARCISSISTIC DRIVEL, MEANS IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER 2020 ELECTION RECAP, but first...


Fortunately, for all Americans, Democrats in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, victims of the 2016 Election Debacle that handed an Undeserving Donald Trump the White House, refused to allow a repetition of Bogus Returns to put an Unqualified Demagogue back into office. By instituting safeguards, they prevented the Republicans from again stealing the Electoral Votes that come with victory in each state. Trumpians hate fair and honest elections, EVIDENCED BY HIS TEMPER TANTRUMS WHEN HE REALIZED HIS ALLIES COULDN'T ALTER THE RESULTS IN 2020, THE WAY THEY HAD IN 2016. TRUMP COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT HONORABLE ELECTION OFFICIALS STILL EXIST IN THESE STATES.

It's too bad that other states seem to lack the Capability and/or Honesty to ensure that their elections actually record and publish honest numbers. IS IT CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE, LAZINESS etc. THAT PREVENTS "DEMOCRATS" IN SOME STATES FROM FOLLOWING POLICIES THAT WOULD PREVENT ANOTHER "DONALD TRUMP" FROM ILLEGALLY SEIZING THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY? ARE THEY DEMOCRATS IN NAME ONLY, WITH THEIR ALLEGIANCE REALLY GOING TO FAR RIGHT FANATICS, RUSSIANS, OR FASCISTS...
