Last Friday, March 11, 2016, while the violence in Chicago between those protesting Donald Trump, and Trump's supporters, looked enough like mayhem to inspire news commentators to invoke the political climate of 1968, some of the same commentators suggested that the volatile candidate's reckoning had arrived.
     A turning point.
     Sure, Trump's incitement of violence at his rallies can be demonstrated by showing clip after clip of the man enthusiastically yelling at protestors, complaining about the "politically correct" environment of the present day which disallows, or at least frowns upon, beating the shit out of those who demonstrate the gall to exercise their First Amendment rights.
     Since Chicago, Trump himself and his mouthpieces have complained that the candidate's own freedom of speech was infringed upon when he "had to" cancel his appearance there, a decision that actually caused the violence.  For a few hours, Trump's supporters and those protesting him, waited in the arena without fighting.  Tension existed, yes, but once the campaign spokesman announced Trump's decision to be the Unholy Ghost at the gathering, protestors chanted their victory and supporters' adrenal glands began ejaculating aggression into vocal cords and fists.
     Trump's tactic of pretending victimhood when it comes to what tends to happen at his rallies should make all honest Americans sick, and pissed off.  This is a man who phones in interviews to numerous cable and network talk shows.  His voice and ugly orange face are on television all the fucking time.  He owes his success to the very news media he so often gripes about and puts in "pens" at his rallies.  Sarah Palin, remember, also owes her success, and her millions, to that "lamestream media" she claims to hate.  Blaming the very thing that makes you successful may sound counterintuitive, but it works.  Hatred, acted or not, calls attention to itself; a necessity for power-obsessed creeps like Palin and Trump, both of them essentially reality TV stars with nothing substantial, brain-wise, to offer their country.
     The deluded notion that the violence in Chicago last Friday can be solely attributed to Democratic supporters of Senator Sanders and Mrs. Clinton derives from the lying mind of Donald Trump, reinforced by surrogates and even the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.  Today, Ryan blamed "the Left" for the violence at Trump rallies.  Does he really believe this?  Does he think Trump's bullhorn rhetoric, his Ernst Röhm-like viciousness, has nothing to do with inspiring violent acts among his brutal followers?  We are witnessing damage control, both by the Trump Campaign apparatus and also, dishearteningly, by the fucking head of the House of Representatives!
     Paul Ryan, thus, tacitly supports Trump, because he knows the famed businessman will most likely win the Republican nomination, and the poltroon Ryan, like hundreds of other Republican politicians, would rather see a demagogue with a dictator's ambitions, win the November election, than a Democrat.  If Ryan and others in his contemptible party think they can control Trump once he's president, they haven't understood what's been happening in this campaign "season" since last summer.
     Trump, using a combination of bravado and manipulation of voters' fears, has bulldozed his competition.  Jeb Bush, once the favorite to win the nomination, went down before someone he had failed to imagine.  That failure could be the nation's.  We must imagine, as Van Jones said last night on The Daily Show, that Trump could be the president, and in November he must be humiliated in all fifty states; otherwise, look at this man, right now, and project forward to 2017 to 2021, and maybe beyond, and realize what he could do, after already having done what he's done.  He incites violence at his rallies; he inspires and encourages bigotry and racism; he alienates religious groups worldwide; he advocates violating domestic and international law regarding torture; he advocates killing civilians; he laments the "good old days" when public violence was more tolerated; he pretends he's persecuted for his words and actions; he harks back to an unspecified time when America was "great," and he'll make it "great again."
     All of these qualities mentioned above, among the semicolons, point to an essential truth:
     Donald Trump is a fucking Fascist.
     Make America Hate Again.
