August 2016 Trump destroying our social fabric
All
across America Trump’s incendiary rhetoric is rapidly destroying America’s
fragile social fabric – tearing away at the civility and tolerance - harking
back to the days of the Wild West “hang em” culture.
Students
no longer feel the need to suppress their innermost racial demons but now feel
free to hurl nasty epithets to minorities chanting slogans like “Build a Wall”
or “Go Back”.
The
open hostility is so bad at many high schools that more and more students are
choosing to be home-schooled.
Donald
Trump relishes goading his supporters by encouraging them to rough up
protestors and dropping sly hints for them to invoke their second amendment
rights to prevent Hillary Clinton from making judicial nominations.
His
more vociferous supporters raised the ante by demanding that Clinton should be
executed by a firing squad for treason while others have shouted “hang the b .
. ch!” The NYT have made a video which captured the screams of his supporters
which resembles a KKK lynch mob. Racial
slurs are also directed against Jews, Blacks, Latinos Muslims and gay people.
The Southern Poverty Law Center reported a huge spike in bullying at all grade
levels. Many Latino students are carrying their birth certifications and Social
Security Cards out of fear they will deported.
The
immense damage that the Republican front runner has inflicted on America’s
psyche and his own party will linger on well after the November election.
