Are we going to be different?
With the elections and well, Trump-I'm a little worried for us. I've seen more than a hand full of articles about how Trump is using the same tactics that Hitler used. Now, I'm not going to stretch things out and say Trump is going to start committing atrociousness and all that, but, what if he did? Would we as a nation be ready? Not everyone takes Global and not everyone i educated on genocide and acceptance and equality the way that the students of LAHS are. Plenty of people are supporting Trump for non racist reasons but a large number of Trump supporters are following him because of malicious similarities in the way one looks at race. In Nazi Germany, the population was not entirely supporting Hitler. Sadly, enough of the population supported Hitler to make it possible for him to do what he planned on doing. If Trump is elected and if he has a alarge enough backing, will the rest of the people in the U.S. be active enough to suppress the ill intent or will they be passive and allow for atrocities to occur?

I see how this may be concerning. However, our country is based off a democracy. So if he is elected, hopefully others will help with making the right choices. As a response to your concern on possibly another genocide, I just hope that there are enough of us (wahoo global) that can recognize what is going on and do what we can to stop it.
ReplyDeleteI have friends who do vote for Trump because of his beliefs about abortion, and while he comes off as a very I'm gonna get this done ... I don't see the US system working in that way at all, because laws takes years to pass in Congress, and the president is checked by the other two powers, making the United States still run like a democracy. I don't believe Trump has the power to take over all three branches of the US government and become like Hitler. I do not, however, agree at all with what Trump stands for in no means.
