Banana Republics Deserve an Apology

By Lafe Tolliver, Esq
Guest Column

     Well folks, it is on! The President of this country has declared war on it and, get this…he is the commander in chief ripping up his own real estate!

     If you were to submit a movie script about what Herr Trump has done and is doing to the integrity of the election system and how he is dissing voters who mail in their ballots, your script would be outright rejected as the product of a wacked mind floating on a cloud of meth fumes.

     If you watched the circus known as the first presidential debate, you saw Herr Trump in full blowout crazy mode with his gibberish talk of intimidating voters and stating very clearly that he wants to void all  votes that are counted after November third.

     The delusional president, who resides in his own La La Land of alternative facts, senses that he is about to lose the upcoming election and he has been prepping the voters to understand that their vote is nigh futile since if he loses, he will go to the courts to attempt to toss out the election results.

     And to assist him in this Putin-inspired caper, Trump is attempting to ram rod through the Senate his current nominee for the now vacant seat of the late Justice Ruth B. Ginsburg.

     Nothing is sacrosanct for Herr Trump. Everything is transactional and expendable as long as he gets what he wants which is four more years in the White House so he can avoid criminal prosecution for possible crimes committed due to his tax returns.

     Trump even further debased himself by issuing a not too subtle call for the white supremacy group, The Proud Boys, to, “stand by” when he gives the call for help. Already, The Proud Boys have issued at their websites their response that they will answer the bell when it rings!

     Folks, Herr Trump is almost complete in his dismantlement of the integrity of the voting system and its platforms and with the help of his puppet master, Russian President Vladimir Putin, America is in for a rough ride until January 20, 2020 which is still set as the swearing in date for the elected president, be it Herr Trump or Joe Biden.

     Make no mistake about it, if you are a wall flower or a whiny buttercup who does not like conflict or confrontation, Trump is  hoping that his scare tactics will have you remain under your bed covers on election day.

     Between now and election day, Trump will rachet up his baseless rhetoric to inflict maximum mental damage on undecided voters to the point that he is hoping that they will stay home and by their dereliction of duty of voting, have the election thrown to him.

     The head of the FBI is already issuing warnings that they sense that Russian trolls and fellow cyber actors are pouncing and will continue their social media warfare so that the voter will feel confused, angry and fearful of voting.

      Trump wants you to knuckle under and fear his tin-coated wrath and for you to duck and hide while he throws his autocratic-based verbal bombs at you so you will sit this one out.

      Trump traffics in fear and being a bully and not having a shred of a conscience, he is incapable of being remorseful for his despicable acts of treachery and his seemingly hatred or the norms of government that cement people together as a nation (in spite of this country’s awful history of bigotry against people of color and Native Americans).

      Expect the following scenarios being played out between now and January 20, 2020:

(1) Trump will continue to harangue about his crafted lies of voter fraud and will stoke the flames of voters purportedly voting twice and stealing ballots and rigging the state and county elections to the point that it will seem as if all of the voting is being done by left wing radicals.

(2) Trump, who has earlier voted by a mail in ballot, will attempt to shame any voter who uses such a voting method as being a dupe of the Democratic Party and they are to be closely watched.

(3) Trump is threatening to send an “army” of poll watchers to closely monitor what occurs at various polling stations as if somehow people will come in, vote, turn around and go back outside, change clothes, put on a wig and sunglasses and return to vote another time! Yes, that is how sick this man is.

(4) If and when the final vote tally shows that Trump has lost the Electoral College (an anachronistic process that needs to be terminated), Trump will, along with his favorite lapdog, Attorney General William Barr, issue an executive order that due to so much election fraud and millions of dubious votes, he must remain in office until the matter is properly sorted out to his satisfaction.

(5) Of course, the above scenario will cause a national uproar and will further polarize an already intensively divided nation, that Trump is hoping that his people will take to the streets (armed of course) so he can declare martial law.

In the interim, Vladimir Putin is drinking champagne by the bucket full  realizing that his pet stooge has more than accomplished his goal of underlining democracy as being a viable alternative to communism.

     And during this tumultuous time, where is the GOP? Doing the usual of hiding in their Senate cloakroom closets hoping and feverishly praying that Herr Trump does not send out a mean tweet about them.

My advice to all? Buckle up, buttercup, we are in very interesting times led by a pathological liar who worships only at the shrine of Donald Trump.

     And oh…to all the banana republics that were constantly mocked by US politicos as being examples of having autocrats who were destroying normative institutions of government and not having rudiments of democratic civilities, I apologize on behalf of a nation that unless they wake up, will join the banana bunch.
