The nightmare has happened. The racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic voters of the United States have elected Donald Trump. I feel like moving to America just so that I can emigrate in protest.
There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that on the first day that Trump seizes power, he will transform the US into a fascist hellscape. He is the kind of tyrant who is so cunning that he spent four years in the White House not being a dictator to disguise his intention to become a dictator during a second term. His Machiavellianism knows no bounds.
The huge surge in support for Trump amongst Latinx and Black voters is the most disturbing aspect of all. We expect it from whites because it is in their nature to be evil and demonic. They really should be sterilised.
I don’t claim that the fifteenth amendment was necessarily a mistake, but I do think that we need to do more to help ethnic minorities to vote properly. This will involve devising a more equitable system for future elections. To prevent a racist outcome, we should ensure that each person of colour is supervised in the voting booth by a white democrat.
Skills such as filling out forms and being organised are very much specific to white culture
One of the major problems is that 35 states currently require voter ID, which is a grotesquely discriminatory system. Skills such as filling out forms and being organised are very much specific to white culture. Imagine the outcry if the government tried to force white people to do traditionally Black activities, such as singing gospel music, playing basketball or hotwiring cars. We would be outraged.
In moments of crisis, it’s important not to overreact. But we now know for sure that the US is a country populated by Nazis — Jewish Nazis, Black Nazis, Hispanic Nazis, Indian Nazis, gay Nazis — all turning out in hordes to support the Naziest Nazi who ever lived. By Trump’s standards, Adolf Hitler was positively angelic.
In fact, if Hitler could have travelled forward in time, he would definitely have killed Trump as a baby.
