The US president , Mr. Trump, is proving to be the macho figure par excellence, anything and everything created by any previous administration or other politicians, is deemed and considered effeminate, week and anti American, he never really explained when was America great, and worthy of returning to its glorious previous model .
Mr. Trump, his oligarchy, and appointed administration, are active tearing up every treaty with all others, be them allies or foes, burning up alliances, and trampling all over the constitution, appointing new people in all positions, of judiciary, foreign affairs, security, health and education, wealth distribution and taxation, climate concerns, as if all ex-appointees were starch enemies of the country. This will insure for decades to come a certain pattern, ideological and political where no one else has a word to say, a disapproval or a concern to voice .
Mr. Trump's admiration for every other comical macho politician across the globe , from Mr. Putin to Netanyahu, Duterte of the Philippines to the north Korean leader Kim, and Victor Orban of Hungary to Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage of Brexit, even the leaders of the extreme right all over Europe, only shows a sense of cultural displacement and weakness by those who fear ethnic and racial diversity .
A return to times, when men were men, and considered themselves Superior to all others, men beating their wives, men enslaving other men, for their skin colours or not, men savagely taking advantages of other weaker men , economically or politically, socially or imperialistically, men who's unabashed masculinity, no longer feel weak or even real, men who's actions are driven by instincts, from their gut rather than their brains or intellect, regardless of the rules or consequences. Men who can show the entire world their middle fingers and believe they can get away with it defiantly .
The usual American new line nowadays, is ; Mr. Trump is targeted at only conservatives and rich audiences, the Faith communities of the Bible belt if you will . Still every American who loves his country should appreciate Trump and his legacy, and be inspired by it . As he (Trump) has received prophecies directly from God, even if they do not align necessarily with the Bible's message . They know in the bottom of their harts that Trump is God's will, that God raised him up for these times in America, he is an instrument of God .
They all firmly believe, that America's leadership in the world, the strong economy, military prowess, blind and absolute defense of Israel, and a certain special Godliness, that only corresponds to their interests, are all Trump's attributes. God is definitely using Trump to restore America, he stands for the common man and protects his freedoms. And he is a good man himself -- Not perfect, but who is, non of us are .
All Evangelicals believe firmly that Trump's election, was God's Divine will, that God was involved in the election process. Yet most, if not all of the self-claimed Evangelicals, Christian patriots, even poorer people of colour, and some ethnic minorities, are all drawn to different styles of populist patriotism, the kind that Trump and his close oligarchy and advisers, who advocate and promotes a specific nostalgia for a past that never really existed not in America nor anywhere else in the world.
American greatness as imagined by these people , never really existed, not in our older days nor newer times, and our history is very explicit about it. Our greatness could lie in our future, if properly conducted , if administered with justice, compassion, and fairness, not hatred, fascism, apartheid, colonialism under all its forms. And sheer brutality, just because we can do it , all across the glob.
Our ideals and application of them , our greatness, is a matter of future doing and proving, not a past we're trying to recreate and go back to . Surely, We are not on our way to greatness with our present ideologies, tactics and politics. Certain Americans, who cheer nowadays Trump and his oligarchy, and their slogans, are only repeating the fake views of the pseudo glorious past, when we ruled over the world, according strictly to our narrow interests, exploiting the world resources with no check, when our Hollywood culture dominated, and later our boots, secret services, arms and money, destroyed complete nations and populations.
Our economical greed, and political fascism, combined their efforts to take a firm grip on most of the world, recreating always the fake view of the glorious past, always to the service of our supremacy, hegemony, and unconditional wealth. No wonder our greatest raw model in governance nowadays and greatest political influencers, is apartheid, colonial and brutal Israel, its perpetual enmity to all its neighbours , and its isolation walls.
Liberalism and social programs are the enemy, fascism and isolation are the new norms. As Mr. Obama correctly said ; That Trump is a symptom, he is building on a hysteria, and most of it is about non-problems, at least not real essential problems to most Americans, they are invented and conveniently conceived problems for a special political, economical, and social audience, for a specific goal .
My usual gratitude for all my readers, all over ....
