Response to a Republicans’ Reason for Voting for Trump into the White House Again

QUESTION: Why do you want Donald J Trump to have another four years?

REPUBLICAN #1 : I want someone who stands against abortion. I want someone who increases legal immigration and discourages illegal immigration or amnesty. I want someone who approaches politicians without the fear of calling them out and speaks their mind. I don’t want a career politician and prefer a smaller government over higher taxes and more social services than we need. I want a strong military and more jobs for Americans. I don’t want a career politician in the White House. America can and will come together when DT is re-elected. This is why voting is important and allows for all of us to choose who we feel will best lead this country. I will respect whoever is elected and pray they lead our country to its fullest potential.

REPUBLICAN #2 : Biden had his chance for 8 years and many of the issues we face today were present back then as well.

MY RESPONSE : You answer the question by starting with your objections to abortion. In doing so, I make the assumption that it is the young life inside the mother you value over the mother’s life. I am therefore driven to decide why you value one life over another. A fundamental difference stands out, age. Do you value a younger life over an older life? Once you set your foundation on ageism, you open the door to question one’s ability to provide any services to adults or seniors. That is a reckless personal position for a healthcare provider. Alternatively, is your position that the baby should not have to be sacrificed due to the mother’s actions. To this end, I point out the definition of time, which is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future. All these roads end in a foundation of ageism; prejudice or discrimination against a particular age.

Next is the definition of illegal vs. legal persons and, in particular, the responsibility for or the attention to health, well-being, and safety of a person. When do you decide a person is entitled to care? From the above discussion, is it from the moment of conception? If that is your principle, then all people, regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, or their past actions, entitle them to care. In doing so, we should provide care, in a fiscally responsible manner, to every man, woman, child, immigrant, criminal, etc. irrevocable of their contributions to society or their community. Because if the duty is to provide health, well-being, and safety of a person is based on action, I refer you back to the unborn child’s societal contributions.
Trump’s own accord bears out that he is incapable of providing human beings care. He has demonstrated maleficence in his reckless endangerment of all people during this 2020 pandemic and the 2020 civil rights movement. These reckless actions have financial implications on a local, State, National, and global scale. Trump has failed on duty to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. The constitutional order that the President is sworn to protect is not enforced by DJ Trump. He is only acting in his own or his base’s views, not the entire people of the United States of America. He did not rise up to overcome and protect us from Domestic or Global crises.

I can continue to point out how one is pretending to have virtues, principles, or beliefs that one, in fact, does not have.

My reply to “Biden had his chance”; is that our Country has mutated. He may not have been the leader we wanted several years ago, but now – today – he provides the skills to take our Country out of this Domestic crises, whether it is from the 2020 Civil Rights battle or our Country’s natural disasters or the Global and Local impacts of climate and land abuse. I believe he has the skills required to address America’s issues with the best interest for all people living within America. Trump has been reckless in his ability to care for all people living within America. For these last four years, we have been discarded and ignored; this Country needs to be returned to “We the People”. We can have different views, yet it is the Leader’s responsibility to navigate all of their people together, not to be divisive.

My point is not about your values; it is about your party’s moral failure to appoint a decent presidential candidate. America is a diverse country, but just because we have different principles, it does not mean our President can abandon the job of administering rules of law justly for all. Trump is not an appropriate leader; he has failed to search for truth and care of people in America. Republicans are/were obligated to put forth a responsible candidate. The GOP should have informed citizenry and holds institutions and individuals to account, but they have not. Trump is not acceptable to be the President of the United States. You are missing the point, or you just gave up on morality. You chose the wrong person to deliver your principles to our Country. Trump is the problem; the Sin of the Calf or the Golden Calf.

The “Face of Misogyny & Racism” is Trump

The “Face of Misogyny & Racism” is Trump and if you are uncomfortable looking, it might be because you are too.

There is a pattern of escalation and Donald Trump spent last week talking down to black women journalists who cover his presidency:

PBS Newshour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor,

During a White House press briefing, Alcindor noted that the president called himself a nationalist on the campaign trail, saying, “Some people saw that as emboldening white nationalists. Now people are also saying…”

But not before Trump interrupted her and responded, “I don’t know why you say that, that is such a racist question.” Alcindor continued her question, adding that people believe Republican party is now supporting White Nationalists “because of your rhetoric,” Trump retorted, “I don’t believe it,” adding, “That is such a racist question,” pointing his finger at her, he said, “That is such a racist question.”

CNN reporter Abby Phillip:

Trump paused and cocked his head. “What a stupid question that is,” he said, wagging his finger at Phillip. “What a stupid question.”

She tried to respond, but Trump interrupted her saying, “I watch you a lot, you ask a lot of stupid questions,” before walking off to board Marine One, the presidential helicopter.

American Urban Radio Networks correspondent April Ryan:

During remarks on the White House lawn, Trump called Ryan, “nasty,” a “loser,” and added that she “doesn’t know what the hell she is doing.”

Trump’s misogyny or “hatred of”, “contempt for”, or “prejudice against” women is publicly displayed. His hate is manifested in numerous ways, including social exclusion, sex discrimination, hostility, androcentrism, patriarchy, male privilege, belittling of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification. Embarrassingly, this illustrates the vulgar display that America lacks leadership and has fallen as a global leader for human rights.

This man has led our country to this great divide, where people have begun to say, “Hush, don’t talk about it, the Economy is doing great. If you can’t say something nice, I will unfriend you — unfollow you”, over things that should be, without question, morally repugnant. My questions to them:

Did you tell your daughter to be quiet when her grandfather molested her?
Did you tell your daughter to be quiet so her father would stop beating her?
Did you tell your son it was his fault for the beating because he dresses like that?
Did you tell your son to ask God for forgiveness for accusing the Priest of raping him?
Does the “dangling carrot” of an increase in your bank balance help you forget the atrocities you silenced?
Why did Trump’s legions believe that an elitist would lead them to salvation and financial freedom? That answer is simple.

It is the nature of a demagogue to exploit the ignorant.

And Trump has exploited the ignorant and empowered men to shoot and abuse women, children to praise Hitler, violence against religions, and Caucasians to hate people of color. Again, ask your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and adversaries why they voted for a demagogue?

By definition, Demagogues appeal directly to the emotions of the poor and uninformed, pursuing power, telling lies to stir up hysteria, exploiting crises to intensify popular support for their calls to immediate action and increased authority, and accusing moderate opponents of weakness or disloyalty to the nation.

Superficial politeness has been given a platform to fester cultivated hate. With that said, I will continue to uphold equal humanity for it is in my nature, and I do not care if you are uncomfortable as you hide your own Face of Misogyny & Racism.

WAKE UP AND FIGHT!

It’s only been 100 days. WAKE UP AND FIGHT, because it’s just getting started.

As women, we have faced many adversaries; we evaluate, we learn, and we regroup. The last time women in the USA regrouped was in the 1970’s and we are overdue. Wynton Marsalis wrote, ” I have absolutely no idea what my generation did to enrich our democracy. We dropped the ball. We entered a period of complacency and closed our eyes…” The lack of urgency has become the general fabric of our current lives and we are losing rights and protection that many before us fought to obtain in the USA. “The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little, ” wrote Benjamin E. Mays.

Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, conducted an experiment focusing on people’s justification for the acts of genocide that they carried out, such as the Nazi killings in World War II. Their defense often was based on obedience to their superiors.

The agentic state – people allow others to direct their actions and then pass off the responsibility for the consequences to the person giving the orders. In other words, they act as agents for another person’s will.

Milgram suggested that two things must be in place in order for a person to enter the agentic state:

1. The person giving the orders is perceived as being qualified to direct other people’s behavior. That is, they are seen as legitimate.

2. The person being ordered about is able to believe that the authority will accept responsibility for what happens.

Agentic theory says that people will obey an authority when they believe that the authority will take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. This is supported by some aspects of Milgram’s evidence.

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth”, echo the words of John F. Kennedy. Trump has initiated the jailing process and he is executing punishment to women on a global scale.

The Global Gag Rule. Trump’s reinstatement of theMexico City Policy restricts funding so that it cannot be received by any organization that also provides abortion services.
Potentially Defunding – The Office of Global Women’s Issue. The proposed federal budget cut would see the The Global Women’s Issues Office defunded and that money instead of going to issues involving national security. Abrupt defunding of girls education initiative, Let Girls Learn.
Revoking Obama’s Fair Pay Scale And Safe Workplace Order The Obama Order require that Federal contractors have paycheck transparency, for evaluation of pay equality. Also, there was a ban on forced arbitration in the case of sexual harassment or assault.
Proposing To Defund Anti-Violence Organizations. Budget cuts that Trump is proposing would put a lot of key anti-violence funding in danger — with low-income women and women of color bearing most of the burden. This includes the National Domestic Violence Hotline and other programs funded under the Violence Against Women Act.
Empowering Misogynists. Emboldening power of other leaders to be misogynists around the country.
Endangering Title X And The Health Care It Provides To Women Everywhere. Family planning funding for low-income women, including helping fund 4,000 Planned Parenthood clinics. But earlier this month, Trump signed a bill that would allow states to control that funding. This means they could deny funding to abortion providers and prevent them from providing the health care that so many women currently rely on. Dire consequences for women when politicians rely on ideology rather than medical expertise.
Ending U.S. Funding For The UN’s Population Fund. The Trump administration will withhold $32.5 million in funding that had been earmarked this current fiscal year for the United Nations’ lead agency on family planning and maternal health, known as theUnited Nations Population Fund or UNFPA. The administration says it’s doing so because it has determined that UNFPA helps to support a Chinese government family planning program that forces people to get abortions and sterilizations. The U.N. agency says that is not the case. UNFPA countered that the claim was “erroneous,” asserting that “all of its work promotes the human rights of individuals and couples to make their own decisions, free of coercion or discrimination.”
Attacking The ACA. “Gender rating” when it comes to premiums. Additionally, discontinuing essential female services like maternity care and mammograms.
Confirming Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch‘s record is *VERY* clear: he has opposed the rights of women, #LGBTQ people, immigrants, disabled people, & workers.
Endangering Victims Of Domestic Abuse Through His Immigration Policy. “It’ll deter people from reporting violence. It’ll deter people from seeking services that can also save their life.” The actions by ICE seem to violate the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. When the Act was last renewed, provisions were added that ensured confidentiality and protected victims who were undocumented from being detained or deported when reporting the crime.

May the words of Maya Angelou lead us forward, “A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim. ”

WAKE UP AND FIGHT!

Through the looking glass and the Trump women

“Trump won white women without college degrees by 27 points in November. He lost college-educated white women by 7 points to Clinton.” As I read the latest Washington Post article, “‘Just knowing he’s here makes me feel good’: Women at NRA convention”, along with sipping on my morning coffee, all I could do was laugh then recoil in fear as the nightmare unfolds that we are in Wonderland where the ruler is the “King of the Duds.” “Trump’s approval rating has been trending downward among women since he took office, …just 34 percent among all women.” I am awake, together with more women as they awake, we might be able to pull others out of this world of nonsense.

Now, let me be plain-spoken, Donald J Trump is a Demagogue. In, January, I shook up the hornet’s nest and ostended, “he is a leader that exploits prejudice and ignorance.”

Let me illustrate, a woman, “Jansen, doesn’t understand why, in her words, ‘so many topics have become controversial, such as Trump’s business ties.'” She continues, “‘He’s doing nothing but things for us. . . . To the resistance, it’s like, follow him. Take a chance. Follow him. He’s your leader.'” The absurdity of her quote makes things become, curiouser and curiouser! “‘I’ll be damned if anybody’s going to tell me that I can and can’t do something.’ ” Thereupon, she denotes to hell with laws and rules, the things that define government. Her irrationality is the embodiment of ungovernable, blind, and aimless fury.

Lafavor, a woman, “’born and raised in the woods.’” Equates the NRA rally and her Second Amendment right to a “‘man’s playground,” she said, waving her hand toward the convention hall. ‘This is Disney World for men. . . . It’s comfortable, familiar for me, personally. But most women, not so much.’” To this I scream, “wake up”.

Finally, when the dirt is laundered, it remains about money. “’I’m ready for that wall to be built,'” said Patricia Valentine, 67, who is adamant about deporting Mexican citizens. Be that as it may, DJT in this very rally said, “’freedom is a gift from God.’” Does your leader have the holy retribution to take what God has given another? Dolefully, his followers are lost on the simple and logical connection. Valentine continues, “’I’m ready for him to cut taxes on businesses like my husband had,'” and inescapably, there it is – Capitalism. Money is their blood of life.

As I questioned before, “why did legions believe that an elitist would lead them to salvation and financial freedom? That answer is simple. It is the nature of a demagogue to exploit the ignorant.”

With that said, I will continue to uphold equal humanity for it is in my nature.

The Perspective Drawing Room on ERA

The post I placed on Facebook was meant for spin and reflection. It is an interesting look into the drawing room of a man’s mind with regards to the equal rights amendment and accepted subjugation of women in the workplace & home.

Women, you need to get mad, very mad. History shows that this will not end well for us.

Dialogue:

What hollow words from a pro-misogynistic and ineffectual leader. Show women you have advanced beyond your pussy grabbing, children voyeur, body shaming tactics that got you elected. Your behavior may have been acceptable to the minority of women who voted for you, but you are grossly inadequate and unacceptable to the majority of women in the United States. Elevate women, finish the deal and provide constitutional protection with liberty and justice for all. Women are entitled to equality of rights under the law that shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on the account of sex.

MAN: I’m a little confused, Jenneffer. What “Constitutional Protection” and “Equality of Rights” are Currently being denied women by President Trump?

ME: What I wrote was for him to elevate women and provide them constitutional protection. Equal rights for all has been unfinished business in the United States. Doing so would not require spending or a budget. So maybe this is a deal he can finish.

MAN: You still didn’t answer the question as to what specific Constitutional protections and rights women are Currently being denied?

ME: Let me ask you, other than voting/suffrage, where are a women’s rights protected? Amendment 14 does not reflect equality, but discusses the rights guaranteed. Such that you are not deprived, but it does not protect equality of sexes. Equality. I wan…See More

MAN: OK, Jenneffer. I have no argument with “Equality”,and I respect, your position of a “Level playing field”. Maybe my gender, (and age) 😉 prevents me from seeing where women are denied “Equal Justice”. Would you propose “Tilting” the Playing field to achieve your goal?

ME: I want an agreement of equality protected by my government. I did not detail any tilting in my statement.

MAN: Last comment: (Promise) >>> I See just the opposite. The minute you get the government involved in “Equalization”, you HAVE “Tilted” the playing field. (Just another form of “Affirmative Action”). The laws are already there preventing discrimination. Our constitution guarantees Equal opportunity, NOT Equal Outcome.

ME: No, they are already “tilted” in favor of men. Men hold rights and women if treated unequally, must prove that they hold them. Scalia brought forth that women and men are not equal in the Constitution, specifically the 14th Amendment, does not protect against sex discrimination. A person may not be deprived certain liberties, but women are not entitled to equal distribution of them. There’s nothing the courts can do to protect women from government-sanctioned discrimination. Laws preventing women from working in certain professions, using property, building credit, obtaining bank loans/credit cards without husband consent, serving on juries, or working at night were upheld under this standard. Equal rights under the Constitution remove any ambiguity and allows the Courts a clear directive to rule on cases if need be.
Our country is founded on the Constitution; 50% of the people within the United States are not clearly addressed. The 14th Amendment additionally, directs the jurisdiction to the States to uphold the equal protection of the laws. It is possible a State may take away a women’s rights, and the Court will not have a Constitutional ground to rule in favor of equality.

Note: Title IX, addresses some of these issues, but it only addresses public and private schools/universities that receive federal funding.

ME: Thank you that was fun.

This was written in response to Trump revoking the 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order on March 27. Two rules were lost that had the strongest impact on women workers: paycheck transparency and a ban on forced arbitration clauses for sexual harassment, sexual assault or discrimination claims. By overturning the Fair Pay order, Trump made it possible for businesses with federal contracts to force sexual harassment cases into secret proceedings. He is doing a great job of protecting his business partners and has opened the door to work place sex discrimination and sexual harassment, which is to be expected from a man that brags about his pussy grabbing skills. Female employee’s beware, claims against a company will be hidden again and you will not know who your sexual predators are, such as DJT himself.
Paycheck transparency is lost, making it harder for women to rectify discriminatory wages and the pay gap only increases as women become more educated and climb the corporate ladder. The previous Administration realized the abuse though the Government Accountability Office and even published a report detailing the Federal Labor Law Violations by selected federal contractors.
Two words: Misogynistic Demagogue.
