Trump's 'mandate' is only by those who are the least patriotic and least competent [1]

Dick Van Dyke says he 'fortunately' won't be around for Trump's second presidency

"Hatred is not the norm. Prejudice is not the norm. Suspicion, dislike, jealousy, scapegoating, none of those are the transcendent facet of the human personality. They're diseases," Van Dyke read. "They are the cancers of the soul. They are the infectious and contagious viruses that have been breeding humanity for years. And because they have been and because they are, is it necessary that they shall be? I think not."

He continued reading from the speech: "To those who tell us that the inequality of the human animal is a necessary evil, we must respond by simply saying that first, it is evil, but it's not necessary. We prove it by reaffirming our faith. We prove it by having faith in our affirmations."

.

Van Dyke added: "Let us be ashamed to live without that victory."

.

We also prove it by reaffirming our humanity, our decency, and our social responsibility.

.

I am ashamed of every single American who would vote for Trump; a revenge driven virulent racist and bigot who is deeply dishonest and ignorant while lacking coherence, even basic competence or any identifiable human quality. An individual who is treasonous, has a long-standing history of pedophilia, is an adjudicated rapist, a criminal felon, and violent insurrectionist. An individual for whom cruelty and grift is the point

.

For Trump, a second round in the White House puts his grift on full display. The nation will be led by among the least competent people Trump can find since few others will have anything to do with him. It will also put on display the degree to which he is physically and cognitively unfit as well as increasingly dementia addled.

.

To note, Trump came nowhere near any kind of 'mandate' as the popular vote is now just about split between him and Kamala Harris. Trump's 'mandate' is from white supremacists, white nationalists, dark money, neo-Nazis and his sad MAGA Cult — a collection of the absolutely least patriotic of Americans.

.

Within a couple days of November 5th, in fact, people were already googling how to '...change my vote.' But a deeply dangerous error of American History had already been made.

.

It's now the responsibility of authentic Patriots to confront and call it out at every single opportunity. It is now our responsibility to resist while sharing facts and the truth
