JUST SAYING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Trump and his cronies, lapdogs, political opportunists, parasites, and bigots are nothing less than insidious viruses. They prey on the pain and desperation of vulnerable people\u2014especially minorities\u2014exploiting every drop of suffering to fuel their insatiable lust for power and greed. <\/span><\/p>\n

These despicable scavengers claw their way to the top of a rotten heap devoid of any trace of ethics, honesty, or integrity. They lie, cheat, and steal, unapologetically trampling over others in their ruthless ascent. And they do it all without a second thought, without remorse, using revenge as a weapon against anyone they perceive as an enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just regular people. We want to be left alone,\u201d said a Haitian man who has lived in the U.S. for 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

But to Trump and his ilk, this man\u2019s skin color is a mark that brands and defines him and others like him as subhuman.<\/span><\/p>\n

In their twisted minds, people like them aren\u2019t human beings\u2014they\u2019re invaders coming to rob them of their power, steal their homes, tear apart their neighborhoods, take their jobs, violate their women, and flood their communities with poison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump and his band of political thugs peddle this monstrous vision to the desperate and disillusioned, painting certain groups as the enemy, as the nation\u2019s scapegoats.<\/span><\/p>\n

They want the failures and the broken followers who cling to them to see “subhumans” as the root of all their problems, the convenient bogeymen to blame for every failure and every shortcoming in their own miserable lives.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
