Too Much and Never Enough

By Desi Cortez Columnist

There’s little to argue at this point: Trump’s “touched,” he’s a certifiably diabolical nut who’s hellbent on getting his way, by any means necessary, but the real question is who’s made this never-ending nightmare possible?

President Donald Trump’s big brother died alone in a hospital while Donald went to a movie.The country is dying while Lord Trump is off golfing . . . this is an ice cold man-child, as cold as the other side of the pillow. Trump is a clear and present threat, a dangerous threat to the lofty aspirations of this nation, if not the entire global population. After 6 months of mishandling the Coronavirus outbreak, America leading the world in deaths resulting from this virus – it’s indisputable and undeniable Donald Trump has blood all over himself, from head to toes, he’s a bloody mess and the man himself could give a damn!

Trump is the sinister psycho-clown ‘Pennywise” from Stephen KIng’s horror novel “It”

There’s little to argue at this point: Trump’s “touched,” he’s a certifiably diabolical nut who’s hellbent on getting his way, by any means necessary, but the real question is who’s made this never-ending nightmare possible?

It is “White America,” mainstream USA, NASCAR dads and NRA moms, these are the people who heard Trump’s clarion call to “take back America, and make it White again.” They’ve lost their absolute domination of American society, and like a spoiled, coddled, pampered and overindulged homecoming kings and queens, Ken and Barbie – they’re willing to dance with the devil, get in-bed-with the devil, make a deal with the devil – if they can have their privilege back, because for white America, they’ve stolen far-too much from everyone else – land and it’s rich resources, yet their stranglehold on prosperity, stability and security is still never enough. They want it all.

Even today, in the 21st century, they’re, as a people, not willing to confess their atrocities and sins in a sincere effort to try to make amends. White Ameica’s arrogance, their cultural sense of superiority won’t let them. Trump’s backers, followers, supporters, enablers and flunkies just don’t see the decency, the fairness and the righteousness in working together as a team, instead they see people of color as the inferior opposition if not enemy, standing in the way of white domination and supremacy.

Oh why can’t the blind see?

The America’s, North, Central and South are looking at roughly 401 years of European Imperialism and America’s racist, sexist and elitist notion of ‘exceptionalism” – the all-American concept of “Manifest Destiny’ applied on a global basis – the looting and pillaging of al the Natives land, an entire continent – the enslavement of an entire race, in order to construct the foundation of this empire.

Obviously their ill-gotten monopoly is ‘too much,” but yet it still won’t never be enough to quench their thirst for supremacy, domination . . . alas white power.

This mentality created not just Donald Trump, but it molded, shaped and influenced the rank n; file members of White America over the last few generations

The vast majority of Trump’s America falls under the category of “Too much and never enough,” I believe this description can be added to the other adages which seem to define this segment of the nation’s population: “I got mine, you get yours!” “Every man for themselves!” This attitude is coupled with no real belief in the notion of “Women and children first” or “One for all, and all for one!” – Instead it’s survival of the financially fittest.

Trump’s family, the business world which accepted him, the Republican Party which adopted him, the bible-thumpers who back him despite his immorality, and the voters who continue to vote for him, all are willing to not wear mask and to walk their kids back into a viral tsunami this fall, place their own children at risk, in harm’s way – all to stand by their man, their main man, Donald Trump.

All that makes you vomit: the narcissism, the meanness, the cold aloofness which seems to enable Trump, which defines the man – also defines “White” America – White America is Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is White America – they connect and relate to one-another, speak the same caveman language.

It’s not Trump who scares me, it’s the millions of folks who back him, stand with him regardless of Trump’s nasty words and diabolical deeds. Their lack of humanity is stupefying.
