May God forgive me as there will be no reconciliation

[FrenchieCat]

between myself and how Trump used hate and bigotry to get into office. There will be no forgiveness for those who voted for this evil man! or those who perceived a false equivalency between the two candidates and chose to vote 3rd party or to abstain from voting.

My mother was raised during WWII in Paris, and remembers how a tyrant will attempt to appeal to various groups separately depending...in order to have the support of enough people, enough of the time. I don't want to discuss the story of my mother and her family here, only to say she lost three family members in the war at the hands of the Nazis! The Vichy Government in France collaborated with the Nazi, and send thousands to their death hoping eventually it would all be ok.

Below is the first article written about Hitler in guess where?
The New York Times

It Reads....

"Several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes."

"You can't expect the masses to understand or appreciate your finer real aims. You must feed the masses with cruder morsels and ideas like anti-Semitism. It would be politically all wrong to tell them the truth about where you really are leading them."

1. I could not agree more!

I have no sympathy for his voters, or for those who voted 3rd party.

[FrenchieCat]

11. Thanks mcar!

[LongTomH]

2. Those who ignore history.....well, you know the quote!!!!

[brewens]

4. We begged them to listen. We saw what was coming. We couldn't stop some from voting 3rd party or

just staying home, but we could have stopped them from wanting too. Some tried a lot harder than I did.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. God likely agrees with you.

[FrenchieCat]

9. He can forgive folks and Trump for me....

but I'm not doing it! Just can't and won't!

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. Same here.

[sheshe2]

12. The goddess will never forgive or forget...

the suffering that will be wrought on ALL minorities. trump bannon pence will deliver us to hell.

Kudos for you all that did their feeble protest vote. What you did not see was there is a apocalypse coming. You are not exempt. You have blood on your hands.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Yes...I feel that way.

Either they were hoping that our votes would cover their self-centered act,
or they were hoping we'd lose without knowing that we really would!

They lost just like us either way if they are who they say they are.

[sheshe2]

19. Blood on their hands.

we will be dying.

[FrenchieCat]

5. I'm trying to figure out if the New York Times has ever been right...

cause it doesn't appear so.

[dhill926]

6. totally agree....

[Bear Creek]

7. Alliance

With Putin never thought I'd see the day. Treason comes to mind. There is no way he won legitimately. He profiles closer to Mussolini.

[FrenchieCat]

8. That's my understanding as well....

[bench scientist]

20. Exactly this!

The Trump /Mussolini parallels are frightening.
Fascism is here.

[Bear Creek]

22. Quote

About when fascism comes to America it will have a flag in one hand and a bible in the other. His supporters are terrible and I believe they are capable of monstrous acts.

[Blue Idaho]

13. Donald Trump is nothing less than an all lights flashing red

Threat to American Democracy. He must be opposed on every front - every minute for the next four years. Any political figures that align themselves with Trump must also be opposed with the same vigor. Any notion that Trump should be treated as a normal politician must be challenged and his hate, his greed, and his criminal use of the public sector must be put in the spotlight of public scrutiny.

We need to make sure he hates the job and his time in our nation's capital.

[FrenchieCat]

16. Well, we've learn once again that we cannot rely on the corporate media

if nothing else....I hope!

I haven't watched (not that I was watching that much anyways) since election morning.
I could feel that we were about to experience a COUP before any votes were even counted!

[uponit7771]

18. 1, there's no "we didn't know" bullshit excuse for America... we have no reason

[uponit7771]

15. Amen, I will not stand behind hate and will give the DPutin just a pinch more grace than Obama

... was given

[Horse with no Name]

17. me either

I have no problem pointing out that these people who are pretending they don't know anything about this man yet voted for him---they will have blood on their hands. Not me.
People that need their SS and Medicare and everything else---I will have no problem pointing out that they voted to lose their stuff. And no pity when they do. We will all suffer but I hope the ones that voted for this suffer greatly.

[Freedomofspeech]

21. I am so done with so many people

that I have known for years. No problem losing those Trumphumpers from my life. Living in SW PA is pure hell.

[KT2000]

23. Totally with you!

I am not ever going to consider normal what was done in this election by that vulgar bigot. And I will never forget that those who voted for him think nothing of the hate and racism - including family.
Some have told me it was about jobs so I wonder why they were sharing racist posts on social media and NOT posts about jobs coming back to the US (big lie).

When I was very young I learned why my friends' sweet grandmothers and one mother had numbers tattooed on their arms. This country is in real danger.

25. 1000

[Hekate]

24. Never forget. Never ever forget, as the media tries to help the slide into amnesia...

...and as Democratic officeholders and media talking heads pontificate about how "Hillary lost" this election. Those words should never be allowed to leave their mouths. She did NOT lose, and in any rational world she would be moving forward with her well-though-out transition team.

The Electoral College has got to go, and so does the entire Trump Team.

26. I'm a non believer, you need forgiveness from no one.

You are completely right!
