We have always faithfully subscribed to the equitable principle of “giving credit where credit is justly due.” The present writing, consistent with the exercise of such responsibility, recognizes the Trump Administration and its mandatorily loyal menagerie of flawed Cabinet Members, together with support furnished by his cultish lemmings, as responsible for the present ubiquitous abduction of American Constitutional liberty. The most conspicuous victims du jour appear to be the hapless members of two Trump-targeted categories, “immigrants” and “women.”
Donald Trump, in his systematically motivated self-interest, with the knee-jerk, vociferous approval of his populist horde of cultish followers, has ubiquitously perverted existing American law and tradition. In a Nation, populated, in the main, by former immigrants and their descendants, he has chosen to summarily visit unwarranted arrests, imprisonment, and atavistic banishment to foreign torture prisons, upon persons of foreign birth (many, peaceably living for years with family in the United States, working and paying tax,) on the purported grounds of gangland criminality; without a confirming scintilla of confirmation, and notably, contrary to the Constitution, and the system of American jurisprudence, as having been imposed without minimal due process.
In shameful addition, despite the express constitutional right of petition for grievances, many morally dedicated, patriotic American citizens have been arrested and charged with commission of felonious criminality for peacefully asserting their moral outrage at such inappropriate, Gestapo-like governmental travesty, notably, as well, without a semblance of Constitutional due process. The Trump administration has chosen to cynically utilize, as purported justification, the ample populist-reductionist lexicon of mythological ideation, such as the (non-existent) fear of criminality, xenophobic inferiority, and various other faux assertions, empirically catalyzed by Trump’s demagoguery to tactically disguise his true, insatiable desire for despotic power.
America, the traditionally recognized avatar of the humanistic welcoming of needy immigrants, expressively articulated by its prominent Statue of Liberty and its Statutory law, has historically determined immigration to be legal and appropriate.
Said exemplary, humanistic franchise has recently been perverted by Donald Trump, in his declared desire for autocratic power, by the perverse, tactical marshaling of support among his right-wing, xenophobic supporters in aid of his declared intention. Unlike such indoctrinated and reductively biased MAGA supporters, the notable issue, for Trump, is, factually, far less referable to his encouragement of xenophobia, as it is to his acquisition of unlimited power and public adulation. It may be interestingly noted that Trump’s wife and her two divorced predecessors, in fact, have been foreign-born immigrants.
The same sub-rosa dynamic exists regarding Trump’s opposition to the natural right of a pregnant mother to personally elect to undergo an abortion, either for health, economic, social, or psychological reasons. Again, the fundamental motivation of the egoistic, sociopathic, sitting President is relegated to the desire for autocratic power.
The un-American, Gestapo tactics employed regarding foreign-born individuals living peaceful, productive, and tax-paying lives in the Nation are analogously being utilized in the sub-rosa service of Trump’s power lust, in the intimate arena of a woman’s pregnancy and childbirth. Such analogous autocratic travesty constitutes an intrusive ban on the natural maternal authority of women respecting their rights relative to the personal subject of their pregnancy and childbirth.
In a rational and morally responsible world, the subject of childbirth and rearing would appropriately reside in the mother. However, this tautologically sound view, in the autocratic ambiance of power-hungry, Trump-land, is pervertedly otherwise. Our orange, hair-dyed, egoistic, and sociopathic Chief Executive has, in fact, often publicly and proudly claimed credit for the criminalization of the previously precedential, personal right of a mother, albeit for professionally determined, compelling reasons, or perforce, dire medical necessity, to obtain a needed abortion.
The intrusive legal impediment to abortion, in homage to certain atavistically inclined religious groups, in his desire for autocratic power, may be the most damaging and repulsive of Trump’s ample plethora of autocratic horribles. For example, even in situations of potential mortality, the new legal determination forbidding abortion renders physicians confused and hesitant to perform procedures, often in life-threatening cases, even when the offspring is medically determined to be not viable, for fear of losing their medical license and imprisonment for criminal behavior.
This scenario is indisputably not in keeping with the American context of appropriate National governance, nor with any rational interpretation of Republican Democracy. Our traditionally venerable Nation has been traumatized by the temporal kidnapping by the autocratic motivations of an egocentric sociopath and must be returned safely home to its natural state of definitional liberty and democracy as soon as the enlightened American citizenry has the (voting) opportunity, resoundingly to do so.
