The Projectors

Those who side with Trump and his Republicans show no concern for the divisions, divisiveness and lies.
The question is – Are there Americans who still believe in unity, integrity and truth?
This ought to be asked of “religious” Americans too.
Who now seem to be tied to the realm of MAGA politics, the heart of capitalists and the soul of opportunists.

“Conservatives”, those on the right and “of God”, blame the left for the breakdown of the family.
They put more energy to conserve its traditional structure than the development and preservation of respect, love, unity and positivity among its members.
Acceptance of the LGBTQ plus community doesn’t demand that’s how others ought to be.
The pressure from the left has been – those who are, are entitled to equality of Rights and Freedoms.
These individuals yearn to belong, they don’t seek to destroy.
Their integrity and values remain intact.
All they ask is for liberty, to pursue genuine love, happiness and a chance to fulfill their dreams.
While the right focuses on the enforcement of their religious and cultural views.
All ought to live by their beliefs, rules and “truth”.
And somehow the policy and implementation of child separation didn’t outrage the right.
They are prepared to accept it in the form of “mass deportation”, if Trump is voted in for a second time.
They’re not perturbed by the absence of a humane plan.
Or the intent to follow through with a heavy hand, void of research as to the outcome or fallout.
Indifferent to the suffering the Trump Administration already brought.

Disrupting the lives of ordinary citizens in Springfield, Ohio.
Another Trump/Vance/Musk/Scalise low.
Then there was Hurricane Helene, Republicans spreading misinformation about the response of the Biden Administration.
Resulting in those who need help, refusing.
Armed militia and fascist groups threatening FEMA workers and other responders.
No longer are we safe, or know peace.
As Trump-pets feed on alternate facts to live in their alternate reality.
They are the violent ones.
But their “enemies” bear the consequences of mere accusations.

If only the MAGA movement aimed to better unite the States and improve the state of the Union.
If only their followers would respect the law, order and the Constitution.
Not believe in showing fealty to a man and his Party, which wants to topple democracy.
Attack Rights and Freedoms.
Don’t believe in the equal fairness and justice.
Culture wars are what their fight is about.
As people continue to lament the division among US.
It’s MAGA who are most dangerous to that end, and are trying to get the prime instigator to be president.
At the same time, across the aisle, Vice President Harris and Liz Cheney unite for democracy and decency.
Before that Democrats tried to work on bipartisan bills, but Republicans succumb to Trump’s will.
Playing politics, not solving, only attacking and opposing.
Not building, but breaking down.
Unity and common goals – gone.

Many Americans and Trump-pets keep projecting the blame.
Intensifying flames of violence and hate toward immigrants and fellow Americans who don’t embrace their MAGA Republicans.
Now they speak of using the military against the “enemies within”.
Speaking ill of Americans and trashing America.
Yet they try to demonize President Biden for a comment which he clarified.
They are able to capitalize to their benefit for the Democrat’s slightest of slips.
And often successfully, though erroneously, link negativity to Vice President Harris, the Democrats and the left.
Which they’ve pressed into one.
Making it an easy swipe for a take down.
Yet with Trump, nothing sticks.
As his campaign continues to draw from their bag of endless tricks.
Their vitriol, insults, cynicism and fear-mongering run thick.

In MAGA world, capitalism is higher on the hierarchy than true patriotism.
They prefer the faces of autocrats and oligarchy over that of equality, freedom, Rights and democracy.
They rather build an alternate reality and feed on alternate facts.
Instead of staying on track with courage and faith to help them face the changes they fear.
They let a man with no scruples or principles steer their thoughts and how they behave.
Making it more about his, not the American Way.
Yet they are the patriots, the true Americans.
As they string unfair fights for their leaders and Party to stay at the head.
Sadly, more and more of their un-patriotic, un-American, un-Conservative hog-wash spreads.
