Coffee and a Script

The Klantastikkk Legend of Donald Trump (And How it Must be Assassinated)

The United States continues to struggle mightily against the coronavirus for a variety of reasons, and most of them involve the administration currently running the country. The virus was not taken seriously until it was too late for proper containment, the money has been distributed to the wrong places, the budget has been terribly spent, the in-fighting between politicians has held progress back many notches, and Trump and Co. has completely failed to institute a proper schedule on how and when to reopen the country (hint: we should have waited until after the summer to slowly reopen).

But one of the biggest elements to the constant rises in cases and deaths is how the Trump fandom and the Republican Party has decided to attach a variety of methods of battling the coronavirus into symbols of supporting the other side of the political fence.

Wearing a mask supports the Democrats and the “Socialists.” Following the rules of remaining in home resembles weakness against the Democratic government. Vaccines are symbols of compliance towards liberals. Keeping things closed allows for the Blue Team and even the Chinese to win. Even supporting attempts to reconsider the policing culture is nothing more than communist conversation. Literally every change and attempt to combat the problems throughout 2020 has been met with resistance from Trump’s most loyal fans and a majority of the wildest Republicans. Miami Gardens’ biggest Trump supporters recently decided to literally counter a Black Lives Matter protest with a pro-Trump demonstration.

So….you are not for black lives mattering because you like Trump…?

With Donald Trump front-and-center refusing to comply with what’s needed to survive the pandemic and refusing to cooperate with the Black Lives Matter resistance and demands for change and at the very least start a conversation just stirs the racist angry pot and contributes to why the United States in spite of limitless resources and money will probably not be able to grasp this pandemic until the end of the year. Not once has he strongly mandated wearing masks, not once has he taken hold and told his supporters and the rest of America the actual importance of masks and social distancing, leaving the “boring, life-saving” requirements to the doctors---which in turn allows them to appear like the enemy of the people. What should have been a bipartisan issue to tackle together, what should have been a layup of cooperative teamwork transformed into another tiring us vs. them daily showdown.

It doesn’t matter to his remaining loyal fans the dire situation at hand, because he is their God, their Mecca, their Allah, their Buddha, their source of power, their voice of reason, their main representation in politics of who they are and what they want the country to become.

Donald Trump has become the Republicans Party’s Che Guevara.

Side-Note: Ironically, they both share the same birthday.

The Far-Right Republican Party supports a man they clearly don’t fully understand or comprehend, they support a man that truth be told doesn’t really support them back. Similar to Che Guevara since his downfall, death, and afterlife as a symbol, most of those who support him, wear the shirts, wear the hats, don’t really understand the actual man himself. They like the concept more than the person. Trump is a construct of visions of a white supremacist America a section of the population strongly supports.

At this point, still supporting Donald Trump in Summer of 2020 with the election coming up in a few months doesn’t mean you support Trump, you only support the idea of Trump. You support the mystique of Trump, the legend of Trump. If you dig deeper, you have no reason to actually support him if you judge him by your Modern Day Republican values.

Trump has behaved in a dictatorship manner, even though Republicans supposedly hate big government. Trump has tried banning press and silencing journalists and news networks, which is a fascist thing to do, which is something the Republicans had always feared from anyone steering a little more left than the Pelosi crew. Trump has taken taxpayer money to bailout farmers that have been struggling because of the trade war (THAT HE STARTED) with China---which sounds like the socialism the Far Right fears. Republicans got mad that the country was shut down for so long and started rebelling, even though the country was complying by the rules and requirements that were instituted by the Trump Administration itself.

Trump bailed out Wall Street with enormous amounts of taxpayer money, even though Republicans are Pro-Pick Yourselves Up By the Bootstraps people. They also look the other way as Trump spends more days golfing than actually doing his job---even as the pandemic remains in full force. Trump seems to spend more time praising dictators and the types of leaders the Far-Right would hate to see in American soil (North Korea, Russia, China), as opposed to praising leaders of more democratic successful countries (Nordic nations, New Zealand, Germany, etc.). Lastly and most hypocritical of all, Republicans hate pointless and overspending, yet have not said anything towards a giant pointless border wall and the space force, or the trillion jammed into a struggling Wall Street—not a struggling economy, a struggling small one-percenter section of said economy. Basically, Donald Trump is a tyrannical dictator-wannabe that values money over the lives and freedoms of Americans——-this king-like leadership is precisely what the original colonies was trying to separate themselves from back in the late 1700s.

But none of this matters, because the Legend of Donald Trump must be maintained simply to continue trolling and angering the anti-Trumpers, the Democrats, and those who don’t fit their mold of White America (Latin Americans, Black Americans, LGBTQ+ community, supporters of nationwide health care and education, anti-Capitalists). So damn the mask, damn the medicine today and tomorrow, damn the rules to protect strangers, damn everyone else pretty much; I want to do what I want to do because Trump has clearly been able to do the same in his White House. It’s the smallest request to wear a mask and its being treated like a Greek tragedy because it lightly taps into Republican Christian White America’s freedom to behave how they like under their personal Manifest Destiny rules. Notice it’s the countries with the worst leaders struggling the most in spite of finances and resources---United States, Brazil, United Kingdom, and whether they want to admit it or not, Mainland China.

Donald Trump is the first trolling president we’ve ever had, someone who seemingly receives joy from spreading misery and suffering to others, and this wild angry section of the country is loving every second of it. They got to turn politics into a sporting event in which every time Trump angers the media and the Left, it’s a touchdown, a goal, a run to add to their invisible scoreboard they’ve created in their minds. They celebrate racist policies that affect real people, while praising a Wall Street that doesn’t actually help them. Whenever something doesn’t go Trump’s way and their God gets mad about it, Far Right social media goes haywire, Fox News grows furious to appeal to these fans, they revert back to random things Obama and the Modern Left did/didn’t do, and pretty much set themselves up for the next minor and major battle. Everything becomes Us vs. Them.

Everything has become a debate during this administration: economy, 2nd amendment, pandemic masks, reopening the economy, hate crimes, Black Lives Matter, assassinations of leaders in other countries, kneeling during the anthem, and even the smallest nonsense like a ramp Trump was struggling to walk down. Every inhumane behavior, every misspoken phrase, every single time Trump’s KKKisms emerges, here’s the Trump Team prepared to fight their case to the bitter end. Protect the Legend, defend the Home Turf. Its honestly exhausting to witness.

So we’re now in this latest fight, except the consequences and costs of this debate has been far more dire than anything else before it. The United States leads the world in cases and deaths overall, while the rates as we approach July remain the highest in the planet. Over 100,000 reported have lost their lives, while I’m positive the number is significantly higher. The numbers had been so bad the Trump Administration had to manipulate data and numbers to create their case for reopening and jump-start such a debate. If we actually publicly unveiled the numbers, then its impossible for the Trump Team to embrace the idea of restarting an economy that had shut down because a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.

Instead, the numbers were complete lies and exaggerations, Trump stoked the anger by supporting the growing open-the-state protests, and now we are where we are---an economy that reopened too soon, an underemployed rate of nearly 40%, an economy that continues to stumble, a billionaire class that continues to profit off this tragedy, mental health on the decline, homelessness on the rise, and with the George Floyd murder, an extremely (and rightfully so) fed up population exploding in anger and taking the fight to the streets against an ill-prepared country and an ill-prepared administration.

So the Legend of Donald Trump is being challenged yet again! So now the Legend has to be defended by defying the Black Lives Matter movement, defying local government, defying masks that represents an admittance that the pandemic has been poorly handled six months after it first emerged, supporting the cops no matter how bad the behavior gets, and even supporting unveiling the military to handle protests-----which is definitely a fascist thing to do. How can we possibly defeat a team that has morally dipped themselves to the deepest layers of Hell?

November.

The best way to defeat The Legend of Donald Trump, the Legacy of Donald Trump, is to eradicate him at the upcoming election. Making it a close race would not quell the fire of the team, it has to be a completely abysmal margin of victory. An astonishing victory of epic proportions would stamp out what the Trump Team believes is the future. Donald Trump has an approval rating that keeps slipping as the deaths and controversies continue to pile up. Normally compliant Fox News and prominent Republicans are starting to turn on him, Joe Biden’s financial and poll numbers continues to grow and outpace the Republican side---and this is with him not yet selecting a vice president (which could really turn the tide if he makes the right decision at the right time). The fight to preserve the legend is starting to wane and slip. The excitement towards Trump is nowhere near what it was in 2015, yet the fight continues from whoever is remaining. A wipeout loss is what’s needed to finally end the nonsense, end the reign of these extreme Republicans and fans.

To the United States, Che Guevara had to be slowly diminished of power before finally being stomped out as a threat to what 1960s U.S. believed in, and also wanted revenge for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. So, they sent military to train soldiers in Bolivia to completely destroy the revolution attempt of Che, create such a wipeout victory against the resistence that Che’s lack of power would be exposed, and would eliminate future imitators and believers. United States’ one big mistake in their plan however was killing him IN Bolivia without a day in public court, because what emerged was the martyr status.

Whether or not you support Che and his beliefs, its hard to deny his impact and influence long after his death—and it has a lot to do with the fact that he was killed before his power was fully sucked out. So now he is in shirts, hats, text, social media posts, and attachments to modern-day revolutions and bubbling tides of resistence. Corners of Latin America and Latin Americans remains in love with this former revolutionary Marxist leader and liberator of a Cuban dictatorship (…before instigating a second one) because they believe in his potential, they imagine what he could have accomplished and delivered to Latin Americans that are oppressed in their own homeland or oppressed by larger governments like the United States. The potential outweighs his accomplishments (..and war crimes) by far.

This is why in spite of what the internet has suggested in dark corners, I would never ever ever support an assassination attempt on Donald Trump or any modern-day leader, this is why I don’t wish him to pass away, or support a violent approach to removing him, (even though historically countries throughout the world couldn’t improve until such level of shoddy leadership was executed). We have to see Donald Trump’s legacy fall apart in front of him and his fans, we have to see the complete change in political tides as Trump watches helplessly the country he ran outright rejecting him. We need to make Trump see how the country and the world improves after his reign of power is vanquished. Him dying prematurely only makes the legend grow, but him living out the rest of his life witnessing history tear him and his supporters apart is the best punishment, is the best way to ensure garbage to this level never happens again.

Sometimes in world history, one reaches the lowest of the lows to look up and aim for the highest of highs. Even though it feels like this chaos will never end and this pandemic will affect us for the rest of the decade, I do believe that solutions are on the horizon, improvement is around the corner. But it requires voting, it requires demands for justice against Trump and those who stood by while he thrashed all over the Constitution and institution of the presidency, long after the Trump Administration is gone.

It requires loudly and viciously voting out the hate, the turmoil, the stupidity, and the White Supremacy that has ruled this administration. The Legend of Donald Trump must be killed, and must be killed with electoral authority. We have achieved arguably our lowest point and most inner-volatile position since the Civil War, and its because of what this administration had created: a hate towards each other, a disdain towards facts, and a refusal of working for the community. Team Trump must see their God fail in the most spectacular, epic way in order for their silence to begin. It’s the only way. For the sake of the future, it must be done.

Time to assassinate the aura of one of worst presidents in the history of American politics, once and for all. Hand this poisonous batch their biggest loss. Then and only then, can we finally end the Legend of the Trolling President and look towards improvement.

Vote in November. End the shitty, loathsome, racist, KKKtastic Legend of Donald J. Trump
