Election A Referendum On White Supremacy And National Apartheid. Stark Choice.

Trump and the GOPPERs represent all that is anathema to this country. It is about having a religiously based white supremacist nation. It is based on social, economic and cultural apartheid. Under their kind of government we would look like the kind of apartheid society that South Africa gave up years ago.

A thorough look at the GOP platform reveals what they intend. By taking that platform to its logical conclusion our society would cease to be a livable society for many. And it would be particularly cruel to "the other".

Trump's supporters envision a country run by even a small white Christian religious minority. They support the kind of division where there are white only gated and sequestered enclaves where only the approved "members" would reside. Their idea of "sanctuary cities and communities" are our country clubs and gated communities of today.

It is obvious why the GOP is against improving infrastructure in the inner cities. Just look at the Michigan, Wisconsin, and Kansas models that exist before us. And Michigan is the biggest example of what the GOP and Trump want to do to the US. That sad part is that so many ignorant working class whites buy into the Trump message. What they do not realize is that these poorer working class "white trash" would be the servants of the upper class.

Republicans really do not consider ordinary working people to be any better than the minorities they bash. The American working class is viewed just like the poor whites in the South under the old antebellum plantation system. Ignorance is bliss for the GOP.

In the end this election is one of the starkest choices since the Depression election that elected FDR president..

Their idea is that they can over run all the minorities and worms. They are making a bet that white voters will put them all in.
In their view they do not need minorities, LGBT, women, et al.
