The Power of Trump’s Ruthless Rhetoric Influences Violence & Manipulates the Public

More clever statements and decisions with a thinly-veiled, scheme/message by the Rep. Front-runner:  when Trump “mentioned” there would be ‘riots’ if……!  What do you think he was conveying to the public? Just like his remarks, “I’d punch him in the face”.  What resulted after that? Certain words, especially words of hate or violence, speak volumes and influence some angry people to engage in violent behavior, whether verbal or physical.  Remember, manipulation and control, like sadism, has just as much power (or more affect) when delivered verbally as physically. Words are as powerful and dangerous as torture, because they can promote violence. Why do you believe Trump cancelled his participation in Monday’s upcoming debate?

I can say with confidence that it looks like that is the prominent theme with the Republican candidates, too. So let’s face the facts here: how many American men will be horrified angry and/or threatened if a woman is successful to become the President of the United States!? Really? I may generate hate mail and slander myself for saying this, but oh well, like Hillary, I’ve been used to tolerating male chauvinism for decades, so go right ahead. My bottom line is this: it’s about darn time to let an intelligent, educated, experienced woman take the helm… Continue reading
