SCAREDY-CAT OLD WHITE MEN

It is often said that as we grow old we become wiser. This may be true for women, but it doesn't seem to be as true for men. Various political polls show that the majority of white men over 65 vote for Republicans in national elections. And the polls are showing that in this years' national election for president, those white men over 65 will vote Republican even though the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, will turn this country into an AUTOCRACY if he's elected. This means that the majority of old white men are willing to betray our DEMOCRACY and our CONSTITUTION. 

No, no, no, don't try to tell me Trump is just kidding - that he won't really do what he has pledged he will do on numerous occasions, that Trump is just a big kidder, it just Trump just being Trump, it's just politics. NO, don't tell me that because you all know better. You may be old but you're not stupid. You can tell when someone is telling you the truth and when someone is lying, you're old enough and have had enough life experience to know liars from truth-tellers. 

SO, as William Shakespeare said, "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?"

One answer might be found in the play Hamlet that has to do with slings and arrows. Trump is aiming his ever increasing vicious slings and arrows in the direction of people who he believes are disloyal to him. Today he said, he'd like to see nine gun barrels pointed at Liz Chaney's face. If yuou've not heard of Liz Cheney, she is a staunch Republican who served in our House of Representatives and will cast her vote for Kamala Harris because she knows Trump is a danger to her beloved country. 

Let's view this in its most grotesque context: Trump does not want the barrels pointing at the target that is normally placed on a condemned person's chest when standing in front of a firing squad. He describes 9 barrels pointed at Liz Cheney's face. HER FACE. Is it possible that you old white men can't comprehend how deeply ugly Donald Trump's soul is? 

Or do you absolutely understand and believe that if you don't toe the line, (his line) that you will be the one he'll place in front of a firing squad, and are, therefore, paralyzed by fear? 

ARE YOU SCAREDY-CAT OLD WHITE MEN? 

There are probably additional reasons you will give up your DEMOCRACY for a TRUMP AUTOCRACY but this is the one that should embarrass you the most. 

LISTEN: I'm calling to you over the years from those days, you remember them, when the last thing you wanted any other boy in the school yard to call you: Scaredy-Cat, Scaredy-Cat, Mitchie is a Scaredy- Cat. Perhaps it was you chanting that terrible accusation at some other poor kid whose head was hanging in shame.  Perhaps you were that shamed kid and deep down you were, in fact, a scaredy-cat and you have remained one for so long that you are now a pathetically scared old white senator of the United States. 

And, you young white males, are these the kinds of old men you want to become? And you middle-aged white males,  do you want to be a frightened old white man cowering before the slings and arrows of another old fat white man? Do you want your sons to grow up to be scaredy-cats?

THINK IT BOUT THIS. THERE ARE ONLY FOUR DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION.
