Not WHO but WHAT hates President Trump ?

I am a longtime independent democratic socialist. In 2016 , a letter of mine published in the Providence Journal gave critical support to " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders. Bernie attracted an excited crowd of some 7000 to Rogers Williams Park on a pleasant sunny day in April. Later that month he won the Rhode Island presidential Primary Election. " OUR democracy " in Rhode Island , led by " liberal " governor Gina Raimondo, delivered the nominating votes to Hillary Clinton at the national convention. The first victim of the DNC based New McCarthyism was Bernie Sanders and his followers. They were smeared as having a " propensity for violence " and being soft on Vladimir Putin's post-communist Russia. Then more than three years of " Russia collusion " investigation lunacy. Happily Trump survived the impeachment vote. I speak on the " far Left " ! The source of the HATE RUSSIA hysteria was most certainly DEEP STATE , the CIA , the Pentagon, high level generals and admirals in the Army ,Navy, and Air Force . IT - the satanic , sinister military industrial complex - not Trump's abrasive personality , his " racism " , sexism , homophobia , ( anti-Semitism ??? )- is behind the daily smearing of Trump . Trump is just too independent minded for the DEEP STATE . His sin against the Holy Ghost : refusing to start nuclear World War III or another endless and stupid war in the Middle East. Not Trump but DEEP STATE ogres are planning to sabotage the 2020 presidential election.

Massive Jews for Trump Car Rally in Brooklyn, New York

" Jews for Trump " harassed in " OUR democracy " New York City

[Family describes horror as violent maskless rioters throw ...www.foxnews.com › politics › anti-protesters-attack-jews-... 1 day ago — A "Jews For Trump" vehicle convoy was repeatedly attacked and heckled as it ... A pro-Trump caravan making its way through Manhattan. ] Clearly the " identity politics " fanaticism of the Democratic Party resembles neo-Nazism far more than these pro-Trump rallies . As a long time democratic socialist I can only deplore the New " New Left " contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. What can be more bigoted than trying to herd whole races and ethnic groups into some circumscribed political camp ? I hope Election 2020 does not culminate in rioting and street violence. There can be no SOCIAL JUSTICE if civilization collapses. No honest " socialist " should be supporting " Corrupt Biden " in 2020 anymore than " Corrupt Hillary ", " Hawk Hillary " in 2016.

Fwd: What will " pacify " " Black Lives Matter " as a movement ?

To: <letter@globe.com>

Would " Black Lives Matter " -as a political movement - fade away if they never hear the N-word again, , if cops are visibly more courteous to black suspects in custody or caught in a chase , if all offending historic monuments were demolished with " progressive " crowds cheering ?

How about a permanent AFFIRMATIVE ACTION program for under-employed and un-employed black citizens ? And reparations ? And leave white working class people out in the coming Great Depression ?

In a published interview famous American playwright Arthur Miller ( creator of " Willie Loman in ' Death of a Salesman " ) said that CLASS oppression was the basis of racism. Miller grew up in Harlem.

Black Muslim Malcolm X said : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ". Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism. So did Martin Luther King who wrote to his wife in 1953 that he was leaning toward some form of Christian Socialism .

Can " liberal " Democrats find some way to UP-CLASS working class black people ? Do they have a plan to ABOLISH American capitalism , American militarism ?

ALL working class Americans have a lot in common . We have all been endlessly patient in enduring capitalist exploitation and oppression. We deserve more than " socialist " charlatan Bernie Sanders. We need an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but more militant .

[TRUMP ESCALATES THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND DICTATORSHIP

In the state where his far-right supporters plotted the assassination of the governor, Trump renewed his appeals to violence and denunciations of socialism. ] From today's World Socialist Web Site.

As a long time independent democratic socialist I can see no truth in smearing the right wing conservative Trump -the leader of a powerful sector of the American plutocracy - as another Hitler; and white working class Trump supporters as white supremacist , neo-Nazi recruits.

Since the 2016 presidential election the Democratic Party has wallowed in illiberal liberalism , promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism , scorning the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization , winking at thuggish street violence and brainless vandalizing of historic monuments ( at most in need of editing plates ) , attacking religious liberty !

" Liberal " Democrats have been slobbering over DEEP STATE institutions : the FBI , the CIA , Pentagon generals and admirals. Has Joe Biden set himself up as a foe of the notorious " military industrial complex " ? As a foe of stupid and endless new wars in the Middle East , as a peace maker with nuclear armed Russia and China ?

Irony of ironies President Donald Trump talks and acts like the proverbial LESSER EVIL of guilty conscience liberals .

Trump is way off in seeing a SOCIALIST specter in the New Democratic Party . It is more like a Stalinist revival ! SAD !

Trump copies Hitler [ From World Socialist Web Site ]

If Trump IS Hitler 2020 , how can they not support Support Establishment Joe Biden ?

[ When Hyperbole Is Dangerous - EXCERPT from Internet Opinion ]

[ Author James Crotty is no fan of Trump. But he’s also against “rhetorical desensitization” and the havoc it can wreak in the public forum. That’s why he has spoken out so strongly against the Trump-Hitler parallels that have flooded the media during the Republican candidate’s campaign.

In a piece for the Huffington Post, Crotty argued: “When we apply a Nazi comparison to someone or something that does not fit that comparison, then Nazism and the Holocaust lose their power to shock us.” And that’s when hyperbole becomes extremely dangerous.

Crotty shares this viewpoint with many other opinion leaders. Writer, producer and Hitler humor historian Rudolph Herzog told The Hollywood Reporter’s Seth Abramovitch that such comparisons were “very, very problematic.” Jewish-American author Shalom Auslander concurred, writing in a column for the Washington Post, “Don’t compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler.”]

What Radical Ron said about Hillary Clinton in 2016

Ron Ruggieri (Cranston, Rhode Island)

If trends and momentum matter , Hillary is clearly a falling star. The main theme of her campaign: we must select HER so she can save the world from Donald Trump. Now her minions smear the Bernie Sanders supporters as having " a penchant for violence ". Like the Donald Trump supporters, they have a longing for bold honesty in a would be president. Hillary sounds too much like a dried up lawyer. An OLD biography of her observed that " she loves nobody ".

Trump like FDR in 1933 - Terry Molloy in " On the Waterfront "

As a democratic socialist -not in the Trump camp - I can still compare the upbeat president to FDR telling the country in 1933: WE have nothing to fear but fear itself .

Also a great last minute scene by ex-champion boxer Terry Malloy( played by Marlon Brando ) leading unionized waterfront workers back to work after beating " Johnny Friendly " on the docks : TIME TO GO BACK TO WORK !

Kennedy plaza fight 2020

WHITE LIVES ALSO MATTER ! POLICE LIVES MATTER TOO !

As a non-Trump voter and a true democratic socialist I risk THOUGHT CRIME guilt when I defend President Donald Trump from a four year mainstream news media smear campaign and THINK : WHITE LIVES ALSO MATTER ! POLICE LIVES MATTER ! FREE SPEECH AND FREE THOUGHT MATTER! WESTERN CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION MATTERS ! FREEDOM OF RELIGION MATTERS ! GOD BLESS THE PRESIDENT !

Radical Ron a " reactionary "

Any future working class uprising against rotten American capitalism and always predatory American imperialism will NOT be led by any pretentious , self-appointed, sectarian " Marxist " , " Leninist ", Trotskyist ", " Maoist " ( whatever ) party with no roots whatever in the working class and led  by some permanent GREAT LEADER with a devoted following so much like those " Clears " in the daffy Church of Scientology.
                 Just about ALL parties and organizations on the Left today have colluded with the neo-Democrats in the USA in attacks on the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization .  They also collude with the neo-Democrats in attacks on religious freedom , openly contemptuous of Christianity and in particular the white Christian " deplorable " working class. And they too  equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism  (  study THEIR censorship of ideas and opinions ,  study the World Socialist Web Site and the " Truthdig " web site of that charlatan Chris Hedges, pal of David North of the Socialist Equality Party ) .
              The sectarian Marxists - more and more STALINIST in manners and morals -   disdain the fundamental principle of ANY democracy  bourgeois or socialist : majority rule.
                    In the USA today TOTALITARIANISM is still a loser .  And  " Marxist " personality cults are still obnoxious to all real democratic socialists . They will take you, working class reader, NOWHERE ! What they were 25 years ago( nowhere ) is what they will be 25 years from now ( nowhere )  . But the GREAT LEADER will still be fat and prosperous .

Could you please acknowledge NEWS TIPS ?

Thank you , Mr. Rosenberg . Please note this : Several friends and relatives report a Corona Virus nightmare among the congregated homeless people ( always ignored and neglected in normal times ) in Kennedy Plaza , Providence . With the RIPTA office closed there are no public access restrooms. So where do you think body needs are relieved ? RIPTA 21 bus -which goes to the ACI and Harrington Hall in Cranston -also reported crowded with health hazard passengers.

I forward this note to the PROJO to my blog ( http://radicalrons.blogspot.com )
