I’m Afraid of Americans
The (Formerly) Anonymous Anthropologist ^ | Unknown | Some 'rat trash

Posted on 06/15/2019 2:44:13 PM PDT by SanchoP

We’re about to see a Presidential Cabinet where every single member will be a racist, sexist, climate-change denying, adulterous, felonious, lying old white man. Every decision they make will be based on a deadly combination of fear, ignorance, and arrogance. We will be one rash decision away from a nuclear holocaust.

All of the platitudes about “giving him a chance” and “working together” ignore the hostile reception that met our last President and the past eight years of obstructionism. All of the advice about organizing for the next election ignores the people who will have their marriages invalidated, who will lose their healthcare, who will be harassed and attacked, who will be separated from their families and deported, who will be forced to bear the children of their rapists, and who will die in the interim. Your white privilege is showing.

I live in the bluest state and it feels like another country entirely. I cannot relate to the issues of the great red middle of America, nor can the people there appreciate mine. While their political choices may make sense for them, I can only see the despair and death they bring to others. I cannot help but despise them for it.

Everything I was raised to believe about human decency, about truth-telling and ethical behavior, has been rendered idealistic rubble. I cannot see a way to re-enter my classroom with the optimism that carried me through my first fifty years of life. I cannot look my students in the eyes and tell them anymore that I believe in America.

Sorry, guys.

‘...old white man.’

Age-ist. Racist. Sexist. Precisely what they profess to abhor. No surprises here...

Obama destroyed America with his anti-God, anti-Capitalism, anti-life, anti-Constitution, and anti-white ideology. Trump is a bump in the road to the momentum carrying America to the abyss. There will not be the United States of America twenty years from now. It may only exist, if it exists at all, on a map. Within a hundred years, our offspring will be speaking Chinese and Christianity will only exist in parts of Africa.

"...many people who believed that it was not torture did step up to the plate to try it for themselves, and to a man they changed their mind after the experience."

I was waterboarded twice, as part of my extensive military training.

I say it is not torture.
It is a psychological process that can be used in the field to convince people to talk.

Now, personally, I find using certain psychoactive drugs to make people WANT to talk to be more effective, and much more pleasant to endure.

But I say that waterboarding is not torture.

Agree. But they’ll be speaking either Chinese or Arabic.
There’s a big religious war up there somewhere.

It’s not water boarding if you use diesel.

So, the Germans are worried the population is
insufficiently welcoming to migrant Muslims.
They send out for the guy who can fix it.

[later]

“Rudolph, we want you to round up every German and put them into camps...”

“Yes, yes. I can do that.”

“... then use behavioral modification...”

“Oh, boy.”

“... Pavlov training, waterboarding...”

“I’ve died and gone to heaven!”

“... or whatever it takes to make them Muslim friendly.”

“Ach, that’s right down mein alley! The survivors will follow orders!”

“Wait a minute. You can’t kill anybody, Rudolph.”

“What? If I can’t kill a man, how will he ever learn?”

This reads like it was written before Pres. Trump took the oath of office.

That’s okay. A video is better than the lyrics anyway.

Like WHO????? WHO are these people suffering death and despair because of Trump? I’m getting tired of these non-stop allegations about President Trump. No one ever questions what these people are talking about. And while we’re at it, WHAT are these criminal charges they want to impeach him over?
