Vested Interests Control A Vote

Mullings is a white man.   He lives in West Virginia.  He’s in his forties.   Never had much schooling, more interested in girls and sports than his book.  He’s been a miner, a farmer, truck driver, a construction worker.  His problem is that many of the jobs he used to have were taken by illegal aliens who worked for half price off the books.

Mullings doesn’t exactly hate Mexicans but comes close.

He lost two cousins in the 9/11 attack on the Trade Centre.   He does hate Muslims.  He doesn’t want to see them in America.

He voted for Trump.  Obviously.  Trump talks to him, in language he can understand.

Simon is also white.  He’s educated but couldn’t get the top job, because the Company has brought in all sorts of people from all over the world on Work Visas.   He should be a senior engineer at one of the computer companies, but White Americans are bottom of the list.

He also is annoyed that he can’t hang his clothes on the line because the Muslims across the road complained about it, and due to the liberal nature of the community council, they agreed with the Muslims.

He voted for Trump.   Because if all those Work Visas were canceled and those Muslims shut up, he’d live his life more comfortably.

I understand why Mullings and Simon support Trump.   It is in their vested interest.

But how can Winston, who is in America on a Work Visa, support him?  Doesn’t he appreciate that his job might be gone if Simon can get his way?

How can a non-white Indian man make posts on Facebook, day after day, supporting Trump when those from India in America are killed if they are taken for Muslims?   Where they are stopped on the street by Immigration to insure they are legal?

How does someone forget who they are, what they have to lose?

There was a group made up of Syrian women who supported Trump.   They ran their mouths like toilets with broken flushometers.   They cheered when he won.  Then, they stood at the airport, waiting for the relatives, who were turned back.   Turned back because they were Syrians.

Didn’t those Syrian women look in a mirror?  Didn’t they appreciate that America does not want Muslims, does not want Syrians and will do what it can to clear them out of America?

Sometimes people seem unable to see themselves as others see them.

As far as Mullings is concerned, all Hispanics, all non-white, non-Christians should be shipped out of America yesterday.   With them gone, he has a better chance.

As far as Simon is concerned, getting all the Work Visas canceled would open the field for men like him.   He stands to profit.   Getting rid of a man like Winston is exactly what Simon wants.   It is his pocket.

What Winston has to lose is everything.  Cancel the Work Visa, ship him back to where he came from seems a knee jerk.   Yet, he doesn’t see it.

This is why and how dictators grab power.   The public doesn’t seem to realise that they are at risk.  They see them come and take away the gypsies, but who cares?   They see them come and take away the communists, but who cares?   They see them round up the Jews, but who cares?   And before they realise it any one who protests is also taken.

When Trump was running for office he made it clear he was speaking for men like Mullings and Simon.  He was not and never would speak for Syrians, for blacks, for non-whites, for Hispanics.   He was not for them.   If they were stupid enough to vote against themselves, it would be accepted as proof of his White Superiority.  After all, Black men acted as Slave Catchers for White Men during the years America practiced slavery.

Woodrow Wilson, a proud racist, when elected to office and implementing segregation on a massive scale received some protests from the Black community.   With a smirk on his face, he said;   “Segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen.”  

Further, when confronted, with a happy toss he said, “If the colored people made a mistake in voting for me, they ought to correct it.”

What we see today in regard to Trump is not new.   One Hundred Years ago, the 28th President of the United States made it very clear that he was in office for White Men.   He cared nothing for non-Whites, and held office until he died in it.

There is nothing new about Donald Trump’s racism, or the support he has received from those he most despises.
