The ugly monster
<<We knew, and have known, for years. Every American knew, or should have known. The man elected president last night is a depraved and brazen pathological liar, a shameless con man, a sociopathic criminal, a man who has no moral or social conscience, empathy, or remorse. He has no respect for the Constitution and laws he will swear to uphold, and on top of all that, he exhibits emotional and cognitive deficiencies that seem to be intensifying, and that will only make his turpitude worse. He represents everything we should aspire not to be, and everything we should teach our children not to emulate. The only hope is that he’s utterly incompetent, and even that is a double-edged sword, because his incompetence often can do as much as harm as his malevolence. His government will be filled with corrupt grifters, spiteful maniacs, and morally bankrupt sycophants, who will follow in his example and carry his directives out, because that’s who they are and want to be.>>
<<Donald Trump told Americans exactly what he planned to do.
He would use military force against his political opponents. He would fire thousands of career public servants. He would deport millions of immigrants in military-style roundups. He would crush the independence of the Department of Justice, use government to push public health conspiracies and abandon America’s allies abroad. He would turn the government into a tool of his own grievances, a way to punish his critics and richly reward his supporters. He would be a “dictator” — if only on Day 1.
And, when asked to give him the power to do all of that, the voters said yes.
This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history.
After defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, who would have become the first female U.S. president, Mr. Trump will bring his own historic firsts into the White House: the only president convicted of dozens of crimes, accused of dozens more and twice impeached.>>
The last but not the least, he is also a climate change denier.
The implications for the whole of humanity, and so many other living species, cannot but be just catastrophic.
Lest some Indians gloat over it, unmindful of the utter grimness of the situation, let's remind ourselves that we Indians have elected for the third straight consecutive term one Narendra "Laode Ne Bhojyam (Eat Your Dick)" Modi as the Indian Prime Minister who happens to be the solitary one on this planet to have an academic degree in "Entire Political Science" and who claims to have been sent directly by by the Supreme Being to Iindia, bypassing the biological route, to have His will executed!
Lastly:
<<While I concede. This election. I do not concede. The fight that fueled. This campaign. The fight the fight for freedom. For opportunity for fairness. And the dignity of all.>>
Giving up is just no option.
No matter what happens.
