If you think about it, both ISIS and Donald Trump have a lot in common. They have both gone on way too long. Both would be appalled by this comparison. One preaches hate of all infidels or people who don’t aspire to their vision of the universe, and one preaches hate of minorities, the “idiots,” ugly people, and thinking people, in other words all people who don’t agree with his vision of the universe. Extremism applies to both. I hear people say Trump is straight talkin’, honest, and saying what everyone wants to hear. No, no, no, not me for sure, none of my friends. He is mean, false, uninformed, selfish, covetous, avaricious, and downright embarrassing. And, really, does he qualify as a public servant?

It is time to stop cringing and speak out against this person and his hate. He is so pathetic in his need to be loved one could almost pity the man… or not! I see no humor in this. Saturday Night Live did us no favors, the media focuses on his antics, people in the world see us as mean and ignorant. He is the downside of free speech, which of course we would not change. But please don’t just cringe and mutter. Talk, write, act, and vote against this behavior.

Your future may depend on it.
