Donald Trump and maga Republicans must end the racism campaign supported by Trumpzi evilism

Ongoing presence of racism led by Donald Trump is evil.

Echo opinion letter published in The Central Oregonian newspaper:

We like to believe that bigotry is a product of ignorance and that if we educate people enough, they will become immune to bigotry.  But bigotry is more often a common code of hate to which no community is immune. Trumpzism and bigotry are evilisms.

Oh my❗ 🤢On the morning of February 6th, I was shown the hideous video meme on Trump’s Truth (Fake ❗) Social, showing the faces of Michelle and Barack Obama imposed on ape bodies. 

I was deeply saddened 😥 to see the racist Donald Trump, president of the U.S. creating such despicable bigotry. 

 “Fruit never falls far from the tree.” Remember Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was arrested in 1927 for participating in a violent KuKluxKlan (KKK) rally in New York City. Remember the 1973, federal lawsuit brought against Donald Trump and his company for racial discrimination at Trump housing developments in New York City. He would not sell or lease properties to people of “color.” Trump is a racist, pure and simple. When I saw Trump’s first evil red MAGA hat, I immediately read: Make America White Again.

Having grown through the civil rights movement of the 1960s, I never imagined that racism would publicly raise its head again in the United States. Remember the firehoses, the attack dogs, the beatings and the murders against people who only wanted to be treated as equals? The only difference was the color of their skin. 

Remember, white supremacists George Wallace and Bull Connor were called “racist pigs.” It appears we still have some “racist pigs” living amongst us.  Remember, Hitler justified the Holocaust by claiming Jews looked different, were inferior and were the cause of the world’s problems. It’s called racism. If you have noticed the faces behind the ICE masks, they are all white. Many of them are recruited from the convicted felon Nazi insurrectionists who stormed the capitol on Jan. 6, whom Trump pardoned. Ninety-five percent of the people detained by ICE have no criminal records 😢and are in our country legally seeking citizenship. Notice their commonality: they have dark skin, and perhaps they speak with an accent. Pure racism.  We have a movement in our country called “White Nationalism.” That sounds similar to “Aryan Nation,” doesn’t it? Much of this is based upon the pseudo-science “Race Science,” which maintains that the “white” race is superior. Adolf Hitler’s Nazis did EXACTLY the same thing❗
