tRump: Bad for Jews, bad for everyone


Duck L’Orange (aka: Donald Trump, aka: LIAR in Chief) almost destroyed our democracy during his first term as POTUS, he nearly destroyed our economy and his administration of the COVID crisis led to the death of 1,000s of Americans. He sacked the SCOTUS, leading to the repeal of Roe v Wade. He lost the 2020 election, yet insisted that he was scammed. Then instigated the events of January 6, when a violent mob of MAGA terrorists invaded our Capitol, killed police officers and vandalized the building.

Now he wants to do it again. He wants to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA).  When was America not great?  There have been short periods, like the years preceding the Civil War, and when Joseph Macarthy was a senator, but other than that America has been more or less great.

A peaceful nation we are not. Of its 248 years, we have only been at peace (that is, not being involved in a war somewhere) for 22. And with the exceptions of the War for Independence, the Civil War, and WW2, they have been all for profit. For making wealthy arms manufacturers wealthier.

A loud minority of Jews want tRump for POTUS. They think he’s better for Israel. He did do two (and only two) good things  for Israel, in that he moved our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and he recognized Israels sovereignty over the Golan  Heights. Those were good, and in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, long overdue. But that’s it, and he did these things for the wrong reasons. He did them to placate American fundagelical Xtians who believe that supporting Israel will help bring about the return of Jesus.

These same Jews and fundagelicals cite tRunps daughter and son-in-law as reasons why he deserves their support because this couple is Jewish, and he would never do anything to hurt them.

The fact is, Donald Trump is most antisemitic person to ever occupy the White House, and his hatred of Jews is well documented. Here are just a few recent articles that expose this:

These are just the tip of the iceberg. Google “Trumps antisemitism.” You’ll get dozens more references.

Then there is the neo-fascist movement, as exemplified by Christian Nationalism, The Heritage Foundation and numerous neo-nazi and white supremacist organizations.  In particular, there is a campaign underfoot to throw our democracy, all women and all non-Christian faiths under the bus.  The right wing calls this Project 2025. I call it Xtian Sharia Law.

This agenda bears the hallmarks of authoritarianism. It threatens Americans’ civil and human rights and our very democracy. The America that Project 2025 wants to create would involve a fundamental reordering of our society. It would greatly enhance the executive branch’s powers and impose on all Americans policies favored by Christian nationalists regarding issues such as sexual health and reproductive rights, education, the family, and the role of religion in our society and government. It would strip rights protections from LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, women, and people of color. It would dismantle much of the federal government and replace our apolitical civil service with far-right partisans it is already training in anticipation of a power shift. It would end attempts to enhance equity and racial justice throughout the government and shut down agencies that track progress on this front. Efforts to tackle issues such as climate change would be ended, and politicized research produced to back the project’s views on environmental policy, the evils of “transgenderism,” and women’s health would take priority.

Project 2025 will roll back women’s rights to the 1950s, dismantle civil rights for blacks and other minorities, and establish the POTUS as a dictator, relegating Congress and the Supreme Court to bodies of “yes men.”  And they will be men: women will no longer be allowed to serve in Congress or on the Supreme Court, as allowing women to take any authority violates the dictates of St. Paul, who stated “‭‭Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. ‭‭If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.”   (1 Corinthians: 34-35 NT).
