I’m
your warrior, I’m your justice
I’m
your MAGA in the alley
Been
betrayed, time to get laid
Break
some laws, go get paid
You
know me, I’m your friend
Your
main boy, thick and thin
I’m
your retribution.
I’m
your retribution.
Curtis
Mayfield’s “Pusherman” popped in my head when
I read trump’s remarks again from last spring
when he spoke at the Conservative Political
Action Conference. Most of the words in the
above stanza come from that speech. This dude
has delusions of being a bad boy that would
out-Putin Putin. His recent win in Iowa puts
trump closer to the seat of power that eluded
him in 2020. He’s coming back with hindsight
sharper than 20/20.
Like
in 2016, trump is not being taken seriously as
a candidate who could win. Again.
Some
people thought trump couldn’t campaign while
defending himself against some 91 criminal
charges. He thumbed his nose at the Republican
debates while his opponents spent hours
prepping for their fifteen minutes of fame. He
even urged the Republican party to stop
“wasting time and money” pushing his weak
competitors before the voters.
Some
people think because he’s a disgraced
candidate, trump’s fate is sealed. His vices
were exposed before he became president,
during his presidency and after the
presidency. Yet, there are trumpers who liken
him to Jesus Christ, having to bear the heavy
cross of his detractors.
Depending
on what month, some polls have trump leading
incumbent president Joe Biden. He has
consistently been the Republican front runner,
a fact that he loves to share with his adoring
fans. Biden’s fans must be hiding.
I
keep going back to trump’s assuring remark,
“I’m your retribution.”
The
threats and bullying pay off. There are not
too many people from elected officials to
financiers who want to tangle with trump. The
world has seen how he can rally his zealots to
do the unthinkable, so what else will they do?
The
Donald has not been silent about what he will
do should he get a second term of office.
Retribution of his enemies will be swift and
public. He plans to use the Justice Department
and any other agency to target and quash his
opponents. His henchman have plans to
consolidate power quickly over every facet of
the federal government.
Immigrants
will be deported. Political dissidents and
communists will be marked for disappearance.
There will be no room for dissent or protest.
These folks have not been hiding their plans
to anoint trump as Dictator of the U.S. They
will not be shy about bringing democracy to
its knees.
We
should be paying attention to both trump’s
uncoded words and unscripted actions. Our
organizing should be in high gear. He has told
legions of faithful followers, “this is the
final battle.” The words sound eerily close to
those of most despicable tyrant of the
twentieth century - Adolf Hitler.
