Most Donald Trump supporters say that one of the main reasons they like him is “Because He is Honest”. Yes, “Honesty” is a good thing, but to blindly follow someone just because of their “Honesty” is a travesty. Many powerful leaders were “Honest”, but it didn’t make them “Right”; need there be an example? How about Hitler, he was “Honest” about his beliefs but that didn’t make him “Right”.
This is NOT to say that Trump is another Hitler, but this attribute of “being honest” and “not afraid” to say what one believes is many times how the wrong kinds of people tend to get into power, because of the masses that are fooled by their own naivety and blind emotions. And this is Not to say that all Trump supporters are racist, some are wonderful people, they just may not see past his so-called “Honesty”.
There's a big difference between Honesty & Truth, as well as Honesty & Morality.
Honesty just means openly stating one's Opinion regardless if it's True or Moral.
KKK members are Honest about being Racist but it doesn't make it Moral.
Being Honest about one's Opinion that Muslims or Illegal Immigrants are the problem with America, doesn't make it True.
The Truth is, that America would fall into famine if we deported all illegal immigrants; over 50% of US crop farmworkers are undocumented; and in Wisconsin alone, 40% of dairy farmworkers are undocumented, yet the farms are still short on workers and struggling to find more (are you going to work these jobs? There's many available!). If American citizens begin starving because no food is being produced and the shelves are empty, the entire economy collapses and civil war and anarchy break out. Is that really what we want?
Most undocumented workers in America work all the hard labor jobs that Americans don’t want to work; jobs that are more easily “paid under the table” type jobs. Immigrants (documented & undocumented) build most of our homes, stores, roads, bridges, parks, and they do much of our landscaping as well as grow & harvest our crops, tend to our livestock, work in our slaughterhouses, clean our houses, and many other jobs we don’t want to do.
Plus, they are very happy and humble doing those jobs as well as very grateful to be here out of the poverty they may have escaped from. All they really want is a small piece of the American dream which is really just the “Human Dream” not the “American Dream”; to live in peace, have a home, and to be able to provide for their families. Most of them work many times harder and longer than any of us Americans; and the culture many of them come from have better values, such as family and community. Here in America, our values and morals as a society have come to an all-time low, we are becoming the movie “Idiocracy”.
The main underlying cause of crime in America or rather throughout the whole world is “Poverty” and “Inequality”. Crime is merely a “symptom” of poverty, inequality, and social stratification, Not race, religion, or even an immigrant's legal status. However, legal status can “cause” “some” immigrants to have a more difficult time finding employment, which in turn causes them to be living in poverty and hence causes crime, but, as stated earlier, many Hispanics from Mexico come from a tight-knit community with good values and work ethics as well as collective cooperation and communication, hence “Community Values”.
In other words, they work together well to help each other out, so when they do come here to America, they commonly help one another with housing, food, and yes, getting “jobs”, jobs that Americans don’t even want. There’s always going to be a small percentage that falls into crime due to lack of community connections, or they have connections with the “wrong crowd” so to speak, the underbelly of the gang or drug world. For the most part, the majority of illegal immigrants live a moral, ethical, and responsible lifestyle.
If anything, we shouldn’t deport them, but instead, give them citizenship so they can live without the fear and stress that comes with being an “Illegal”. Also, being citizens would enable them to contribute to and benefit from our social systems as well; social security, Medicaid, education, etc. And not to mention, they boost the economy, not only by building and producing what we buy, but by spending most of their earned wages back into our economic system on the same things we buy; homes, food, transportation, fuel, utilities, phone service, and various other products and services.
As for those who say, “illegals, Muslims, and blacks commit crime”, every Race of all legal statuses and religions commit a certain percentage of crime. Matter fact, “Whites” commit a higher percentage of the crimes in America than any other race, but media and people like Trump tend to only give opinions or the statistics of the percentages of crime committed by, or within each race, for example, the percentage of crime committed within the black community, which is merely a percentage of that one ethnicity, Not the percentage of America’s population.
So if you look at the real statistics by the total population of America; blacks, Hispanics and all other races “Combined” commit fewer crimes than whites. But because the crime statistics are higher within the black community alone, this should be obvious as to the underlying “cause” of crime, which is poverty; crime is merely a ‘symptom” of poverty.
Black communities are consciously (or unconsciously) treated as inferior and are pushed aside, given far fewer opportunities and resources required for survival and growth; such as inferior education systems, substandard living conditions and fewer job opportunities; and fewer job opportunities equates to less money, which equates to less basic life-sustaining resources such as food, rent, utilities, transportation, phones (which are usually needed to get jobs) and not to mention no money for decent healthcare or college education.
All of these preexisting conditions equate to living in poverty, which in turn has the inevitable symptom of higher crime rates. This works nearly the same for poverty-stricken white communities as well, however white’s in poverty still have a greater chance or opportunity to pull themselves out of poverty simply because they are white. Although no one likes to admit it (especially whites), simply being white has it’s advantages for greater job opportunities if the effort is put forth by the individual, this is due to the unspoken or hidden problem of racism in our country, most businesses prefer to hire whites.
However, Donald Trump is bringing forward and revealing what has been hidden for so long; racists are becoming emboldened to express their racism and bigotry openly and freely simply because a so-called “leader” is leading them to openly express their previously hushed racist beliefs, even if they don’t even realize they are being racist, denial has a way of justifying it some other way in their minds (that f**kin Mexican took our jobs” or “that f**ckin Muslim blew up those buildings” or “that n**ger rob that store and killed that white guy” etc.).
What they usually don’t even realize is the undertone of the verbal and body language they use which is a dead give away to the deep-seeded “emotion” of racism, bigotry and hate that they don’t even realize they emote, and they have a hard time covering it up because it’s so ingrained into their psyche they don’t notice it within themselves. However, some are proudly open and aware of their hatred especially more so when a community leader makes it okay.
This is Not to say that all Trump supporters are racist, let’s just make that clear as to not wrongly offend a Trump supporter who may be reading this. Matter fact, it’s very likely that if you made it this far down the article, you have an open mind and are not even in the same category as some of the Trump supporters this article speaks of.
Donald Trump Is Doing One Good Thing, he is exposing just how far-and-wide racism, bigotry, and hatred still exists in our country.
Once again, this is by no means to say that all Donald Trump supporters are racists or bigots or bad people, some are simply emotionally detached, naive or not properly educated to certain facts, or not good at reading other people’s emotions, intentions or ulterior motives. Many Trump supporters are good people at heart and are simply being misled by a prominent influential figure (he -IS- a billionaire, so why not look up to him; after all, it is our Country’s prominent Religion (Capitalism, Consumerism and Money Worship). Many unknowing people have made this same understandable mistake of following prominent influential figures in the past, it’s well documented throughout history. We must learn to recognize and assimilate the most important lessons from history, in other words, “learn from our past mistakes”.
Racism exists mainly due to indoctrinated upbringings; false beliefs and negative emotional and psychological programmings that pervade many areas of American culture from our past. Black history shows us that in our past many whites were unconcerned with social justice or equality when it comes to race. Whites bought and sold blacks as slaves, as property, and somehow felt justified in doing it, just because of their skin color.
This deep-seeded and widespread racism from our somewhat recent past (50 or so plus years) have still not been completely eradicated from our society's psyche, which is what we are seeing all too clearly today with Donald Trump and many of his supporters. Now that this emotional and psychological disease has revealed itself, it’s time we work on treating and curing the underlying causes rather than just remaining apathetic and indifferent, by providing greater education and diversity throughout our communities, especially for America’s youth, so that they too don’t become indoctrinated by their elders who are deeply ingrained in their outdated unethical beliefs.
A good example of how deep-seeded racism and bigotry is passed on through generations is accurately depicted in the movie “American History X”, and shows partially what’s required as far as personal awakening and awareness to combat hatred; not the violence that Edward Norton’s character suffered in prison, but the education and experience of the cultural and racial diversity to realize on his own with the help of others around him that he was deeply programmed by his father. He became so aware of it that he tries to educate and enlighten his younger brother of their fallacies.
We must break the cycle at its roots through better education, more diversity within each community, and more community activities and involvement. The disease of racism, hate, and bigotry Can be cured, but we must first recognize that it still exists, then make conscious efforts to come together as a community to work towards creating better solutions.
So, as for Donald Trump, just because some attention and power-seeking billionaire states his opinions Honestly, Doesn't Mean He is Right! Researching & Fact-Finding trumps Donald Trump's Honest Opinions!
Don't agree with and vote for someone to be our leader just because they say what they believe to be true. Please, Educate Yourself instead of being Sheeple (or blind followers), before our country and way of life is further destroyed. America needs to wake up before it’s too late and we’ve destroyed everything to near extinction beyond repair.
Also, don’t follow someone just because they have billions of dollars and is funding their own presidential campaign, don’t let this fool you, he is still one of the Billionaires buying this election but he just happens to like being in the spotlight (an egomaniac or megalomaniac), so he is funding himself instead of someone else. Hillary Clinton is being funded by billionaires as well but they just don’t want to be in the spotlight, plus they don’t want to do all the work involved in campaigning or doing the job of President; and why would they want to? They have all the money, control, and freedom they could ever want, they don’t want to waste their time getting a job.
All they have to do to maintain their lofty lifestyle is to pay other people from their endless stacks of cash that’s not even real to them because they created it, and print it. Money is just a freely and endlessly available resource, tool and methodology for them to manipulate and control everyone else by buying up and claiming ownership of the Entire Earth and it’s Natural Resources and holding them hostage for us to pay them for what’s supposed to all of ours.
Not one of Us Owns Anything of Real Value in this World, They Own and Control Everything Including Us Through the Guise of the Debt Slavery Monetary System; They Own and Control All of the Land and Homes through the Guise of Debt; They Own and Control All Natural Resources and Mining Industries; They Own and Control All Agricultural and Food Production Lands, Facilities & Distribution Chains; They Own and Control All Product Manufacturing Facilities & Distribution Chains; They Own and Control All Energy Production and Distribution as well as Suppress cheap or Free Energy Technologies just so they can keep us paying them a Monthly Fee for Energy that Doesn’t Cost a Thing Once the Infrastructure is in place; They Own and Control All Our Water Sources and Water Treatment Plants and even add Neurotoxic Chemicals, such as Fluoride into our Drinking Water in an Attempt to Dumb-Down and Induce Apathy Throughout the Population so that We Don’t Wake Up to What’s Going On, and to Top It Off They Do It In Collusion With the Government Under the Guise that They Are Concerned For Our “Dental Health”, go figure, they are Concerned for all of our Dental Health, haha, and People Believe This and Don’t Even Question It!!!
They devised a brilliant method to keep us enslaved without us even knowing it, the Debt Slavery Monetary System, but we don’t realize it because we are to busy working to produce and build all the things just so we can buy those very same products that “We” Build, back from “them”, all while they sit back and do nothing, that’s called “Socialism For the Wealthy” or an “Oligarchy” or “Plutocracy” or “All of the Above”.
It’s amazing how regular hard-working citizens will get angry at someone down on their luck or even someone lazy collecting a below poverty wage of few hundred bucks a month on welfare, yet the Billionaires sit back and Not Only Don’t Work, but they travel, party, buy sex through human trafficking, and do whatever else they desire, and get multiple monthly paychecks totaling Millions and Billions of dollars for Doing Absolutely Nothing while they Already Have Billions in the Bank Collecting Dust, while at the same time Collecting Interest on That Money, Collecting Even More Money, besides just the Money From Their Businesses that They Don’t Work At, but from just simply having Billions in the Bank, No-Finger-Lifted-What-so-Ever for that excess money they don’t even need and can’t even spend in a hundred lifetimes!!! And those hard-working citizens are mad about that man or woman living in poverty on 300 bucks a month?!!! People Really Need To WAKE UP to Realize What’s Really Going On In This World!!!!!!! People’s Thinking Is Backwards!!! All From Generations of Brainwashing and Indoctrination of a Corrupt System Started by Power & Control Hungry Megalomaniacs.
Well, it seems this article went on a slight tangent on what is obviously a very passionate subject matter, but these are Truly the ROOT Problems of this World and all other problems can’t be fixed without killing the Weed at its Root. And in order to get at the root, We Must Stand Up and Do Something About It, and the Only Power-Structure that can fight and actually have an effect on the weed at its roots is Government, Not Corrupt Government but Genuinely Ethical and Moral Government, Of the People, For the People and By the People; with “The People” being “Us”! We need a Collective of Leadership that encompasses specific rare qualities to help Us from the inside to Take Back Our Country and World!
As stated at the beginning of this article, “Honesty” is a good quality, but more is needed than just Honesty to make someone worthy of being a genuinely good leader. Authenticity, Morality, modesty, integrity, ethics, virtue, compassion, empathy, sympathy along with some firm common sense and at least a moderate amount of intelligence and education. These qualities are what we should all strive for in ourselves, but it should be a requirement of a leader.
Currently, there is a Presidential candidate who encompasses all of those traits, his name is Bernie Sanders. If we strive for a better country, a better society, and a better world, Bernie Sanders is our catalyst to bring about the changes needed to work towards achieving that goal. He is truly a person, of the people, for the people, and by the people, fighting for our rights, freedoms, interests, and well-being, and not for the greedy interests of the billionaire controllers of this world.
Bernie Sanders is and has been fighting for social justice and equality his entire life without ever wavering from that goal throughout his entire career. You can track his complete history (50+ years) through countless documents and video footage from since he was 20 years old fighting against social injustice and inequality; marching with Martin Luther King Jr., and even getting arrested for standing up for his moral and ethical beliefs.
Most political candidates tend to “say what you want to hear” in order to get you to vote for them, whether or not if it’s their true intent or beliefs, but with Bernie Sanders, he truly believes in what he is fighting for and not only speaks it on the campaign trail but follows through and does was he says. He speaks up against corrupt politicians and corporate interests in the House of Representatives on a regular basis. He speaks and argues the truth with honesty and conviction to their faces, regardless if it’s widely unpopular in the political community. He has stood up to all opposition throughout his career and has always been on the moral and ethical side of the real issues that face our society.
He opposes needless wars, opposes unfair drug laws, opposes the high rate of incarcerations and private corporately owned prison systems, opposes bigotry and racism, opposes government controlling people’s freedoms and liberties, he opposes governments and corporations invading our privacy, he opposes police brutality and profiling; he opposes corporations, banks and wall street manipulating and controlling our economy and resources; he opposes corporate greed, unfair wealth distribution and tax breaks for the wealthy; and much much more.
Bernie Sanders is fighting for many higher standards of living for All of Us, such as:
-Bernie’s fighting for $15 an hour minimum wage.
-Bernie’s fighting for Free Access to Higher Education at public Colleges and Universities. Which is just an expansion of the same system we already have for Kindergarten-12th.
-Bernie’s fighting for Free Access to Top Quality Healthcare as a Human Right regardless of income or employment status, through the already in place single-payer Medicare Program, in turn getting rid of the greedy for-profit health insurance companies who unethically make Billions in Profits off of Sick & Dying People.
-Bernie’s fighting for Equal Rights for Women such as the Right over their own bodies, and an Equal PayScale Equivalent to men's.
-Bernie’s fighting to create Millions of Decent Paying Jobs by rebuilding our Nation's infrastructures.
-Bernie’s fighting for Paid Maternity Leave, Sick Time, and Vacation Time for everyone.
-Bernie’s fighting for More Affordable Access to Quality Child Care.
-Bernie’s fighting to Strengthen and Expand the Social Security Program.

And Many Many More Issues!
Bernie Sanders is Fighting For YOU, For All of Us! To see an in-depth list and explanation of the above issues and many more, visit https://berniesanders.com/issues/
Bottom line is that Bernie is truly fighting an uphill battle for All of Us and Needs Our Help. He’s fighting for Real Social Issues, Policies and Changes that We Will Notice and Greatly Benefit from in Our Daily Lives; Not the Usual Established Political Crap that we’ve seen our entire lives that have little to no positive effect in our real daily lives.
We are trying to establish a Social Community based on Higher Moral, Ethical, Values and Standards, a society where we are not treated like slaves and robots, toiling and scratching to just get by, hoping for scraps and crumbs to trickle down from the golden tables of the extremely, ridiculously wealthy world controllers who have a monopoly on all of our resources, and manipulate and control our economy in order for them to stay in power over us.
Bernie has great opposition in the political realm and needs Us, We the People to Back Him Up if he is to gain better traction in such a corrupt world of politics. He needs millions of people who are fed up with the status quo of the entire corrupt systems of control to stand up and be heard. He needs Us, We the people to speak up to all the corrupt politicians and pressure them to do what is right for We the People and Not the Corporate Special Interests that have our politicians in their pockets. He needs Us to Elect Him and Other Good Leaders into office so They, and We, Together, can begin changing the corrupt system from within, for the betterment of All of Us.
So, when you go to the polling booths, vote for Bernie Sanders and let’s all stand together side-by-side, hand-in-hand, by the millions, for this much needed Political Revolution, so we can finally begin to uproot these corrupt political and financial systems controlled by corporate greed.
Let’s bring about what all the Great Hearts & Minds of our past Dreamed our Future to be. They laid the foundations, now let us build upon those foundations to create a Better World, a World without hate, racism or bigotry; a World without social injustice or debt slavery; a World with True Freedom, Liberty & Justice for All; a World we can be Proud to Live in and leave behind for Our Children and Grandchildren.
Let us bring forth the Greatest Community of All Time, a Community with Greater Values and Greater Standards of Living for All People; a Community that lives in Peace & Harmony; a Community where we can all have Faith in One Another, a Community of Sharing and Kindness…A Community….. of Love!
