NAZIS, KU KLUX KLAN, WHITE SUPREMACISTS CELEBRATE TRUMP WIN. THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE IN SHOCK. THE CIVILIZED WORLD IS IN SHOCK. REPUBLICANS WANT YOU TO RELAX AND ACCEPT THE INEVITABLE. IN OTHER WORDS, GIVE UP. THERE IS NO HOPE. AMERICA IS DEAD. "DEMOCRACY" HAS ALLOWED FASCISM TO OVERPOWER THE AMERICAN DREAM. THE USA WILL SOON BE A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. THE FAR RIGHT WING OF AMERICA WANTS YOU TO ACCEPT YOUR FATE WITHOUT MAKING A FUSS. THE DEFEATED POLITICIANS ARE PUTTING ON THE MASK OF GRACIOUS ACQUIESCENCE. SURRENDER WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT.
ONE THING THAT TROUBLES ME DEEPLY IS THAT SOME CANADIAN JEWS ARE HAPPY ABOUT THIS. TRUMP IS THEIR SAVIOR. IT SHOCKS AND TERRIFIES ME. JEWS CELEBRATING THIS CATASTROPHE. IT ISN'T AS IF TRUMP DIDN'T TELL US WHO AND WHAT HE IS. WE KNOW WHO HE IS AND STILL PEOPLE SUPPORT HIM. THAT TELLS US SOME THINGS ABOUT OUR PEOPLE THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW. THE GREED AND HATRED AMONG THE PEOPLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED, AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO CELEBRATE THE DEMISE OF DECENCY AND HOPE.
IN MY OWN LIFE, I EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF PAINFUL REALITY. WHEN MY DARLING HUSBAND DIED, I COULD NOT FIND WORK. I WAS IN DEEP GRIEF. I WAS IN HELL. SHORTLY AFTER I LOST HIM, I STARTED LOOKING FOR A JOB AND COULD NOT FIND ONE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS "OVERQUALIFIED." IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC, IT DIDN'T HELP THAT MY NAME WAS CARTER AND NOT CARTIER. SO I MOVED TO ONTARIO.
I FOUND SOME WORK AS A NEWSPAPER REPORTER AND A SALES CLERK FOR A JEWELRY DESIGNER. I WAS DEEP IN GRIEF. BUT I WORKED UNTIL I FELL ILL. I HAD MEDICARE BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP IN ONTARIO. I DID NOT HAVE OHIP INSURANCE. THE CLINIC DOCTOR SAID I HAD PNEUMONIA. WITHOUT A PROPER CHECK-UP, I DIDN'T KNOW I ALSO HAD CANCER. SO I WAS GRIEVING, STRUGGLING, UNEMPLOYED, HOMELESS, LIVING IN MY OLD CAR AND SHELTERS, AND VERY SICK.
I ATTENDED SEMINARS AT A CHURCH FOR PROFESSIONALS SEEKING EMPLOYMENT. I COLLAPSED. A MAN TAKING THE COURSE WITH ME PICKED ME UP, AND AFTER THE PRIEST TOOK ME TO HOSPITAL, THAT MAN BROUGHT ME HOME TO HIS FAMILY. POOR LIKE ME, THEY SHARED EVERYTHING THEY HAD WITH ME AND WE ARE FRIENDS TO THIS DAY.
MY MOTHER APPEALED TO ME TO "COME HOME". IN MONTREAL, I VISITED MY SISTER IN HER SUBURBAN HOME. SHE WAS ANGRY. NOW, HERE'S THE RUB. MY SISTER WAS ANGRY BECAUSE I WAS RECEIVING WELFARE. SHE WAS ANGRY, SHE SAID, BECAUSE HER HUSBAND HAD TO SUPPORT PEOPLE LIKE ME.
AND THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE USA TODAY. THE VERY RICH WILL LIVE AND THE POOR WILL DIE.... OR FIGHT LIKE HELL TO SURVIVE - AS I DID.
