You-know-who is imitating Hitler

The so-called “trump Administration” just held congressional briefings on Venezuelan boat murders done on trump’s orders; Democrats were excluded! (“The Hill”.) Apparently they don’t think we’re part of Amurika or America. I have what will be startling news for MAGAs and Republicans. We are both in this country. We “own” it equally. We’re married to each other. Joined at the hip. If you want fascism, there are plenty of places you can move to. If fascists move away, we can finally start fulfilling the promise that is the United States of America.

The alleged president thinks he only represents those who voted for him or are his ring-kissing sycophants. He either has no idea what the job of U.S. president is, or he’s violating the terms of his employment and needs to quit or be fired immediately. His apparent interpretation of the job (yes, it’s a job!) is that of ceremonial power, ideas much like that a shallow 12-year-old would have who doesn’t have much education in government nor education in humanity. His actions are that of a spoiled 3-year-old having constant tantrums to tire us out.  I’m not going to get tired. He’ll deny SNAP food to children, elders, etc. to get his way. I’ve served my country, and lost two brothers doing the same. That’s a lot more than he’s ever done. In fact, he thinks soldiers are “suckers” and “losers”; he’s called us that. He calls other citizens “the enemy within,” taken from Hitler’s themes. For those unfamiliar, Hitler was a loser and coward, killing himself, wife and dog in a hole-in-the-ground bunker, rather than sticking around to try to help recovery of his beloved “fatherland,” or “homeland” as we’ve labeled it here. Like Hitler, trump’s loyalty has proved itself to be one-way.

Upside down thinking

I have been receiving letters with no return address from someone who loves to tell lies in order to self-righteously accuse me of being a liar, an atheist, a communist, a baby killer or a horrible person who thinks women need helpful information about abortions and contraceptive aids. Instead, he thinks family planning centers are criminally responsible for murdering babies, instead of trying to help women who were raped by their fathers, sexually abused by relatives or who need help with planning their families. Yet he feels he has the right to judge me because I don’t love Trump, I’m against gay conversion therapy, and I support the right of an informed adult to undergo transitioning therapy, and end the psychological pain of people who feel imprisoned in bodies that are not sexually the same as their brains. I know these things were discovered using real research, proving more abortions occur when medically trained doctors are not available, or in locations where abortions have been deemed illegal, and, especially where abortions are done without qualified doctors, all of which increase the chances of killing the mother and/or her child greater.

This anonymous authority knows my address, and sends me bizarrely marked, psychologically threatening letters, because he just cannot believe that anyone who is pro-choice is not a fascist, a communist, a socialist or an autocratic power seeker.
His recent letter was toned down a bit, since the envelope only said, and I quote, “Peter lies, the truth dies?”

But after all these hateful allegations guess what his pet peeve about (radical left liberals) is? – that they are too critical and insulting of Trump supporters? So I ask my self–righteous critic to let the irony of that accusation sink in and become aware that Trumpers are also very prone to insulting and defaming liberals.
