It is counterproductive for the left to over-vilify Donald Trump


    It makes no sense to me why any sane and sober Bernie Sanders ( the commie ? ) supporters would want to disrupt any other presidential candidate's rally- itself a exercise of " free speech " en masse.

   Nowhere in the world do " democratic socialists " encourage unruly mob behavior. Of course Bernie Sanders believes that " black lives matter ".

     Trump is a right wing demagogue but is there any evidence in his past that he is a KKK type bigot ?

     And since when does the GOP establishment -with their orchestrated Islamophobia for years now-pass any " liberal " political correctness test ? Recall the Tea Party zealotry of the last two elections ?

     Is Trump in any way responsible for the unjustified police brutality that sparked the " Black Lives Matter " movement ? Right wing talk radio has been talking vicious for years now- long before Donald Trump showed any interest in running for president.

   If " race matters " becomes a campaign theme , the Bernie Sanders theme of unacceptable economic inequality gets less attention in the news media.

    It is counterproductive for the left to over-vilify Donald Trump. Class trumps race in explaining the misery index in America.

What remains of the anti-war movement will see Donald Trump as hardly even a factor in preparations for more war in the Middle East.

    The New Colonialism has the support of Democrats and Republicans. It takes a whole ruling class to unleash these endless, imperialist wars. So far Wilsonian blather serves the ruling class better than fascist rhetoric.
