Future Letter From a Socialist to President Trump;
It’s 2019 and the fact that you and Vice President Cruz have decided to run for a second term deeply disturbs those of us who still care about this country. Like many true patriots, my wife and I voted for Sanders in 2016 and considered moving to France when you and that creepy Canadian won. We stayed and we regret it.
In just under four years, you have irrevocably changed this country for the worse. You said you would be hard on immigration and you lied. You let more people in from Western Europe, Canada, and Australia than any other president. While opening the floodgates to the Aryan barbarians, you shut the doors on those who really needed to be here—most notably, Mexicans and refugees.
Without the affordable labor of undocumented workers, our youth were torn from their social lives and forced to do menial labor like a sad horde of indentured servants. In the summer the streets are barren as adolescents mow lawns, clean pools, flip burgers, babysit kids, and do all the other jobs Americans shouldn’t have to do.
You brag that unemployment reached record lows in 2018, but at what cost? As with Thatcher, your first few months in office saw the deaths of thousands of government jobs. Is there even a Department of Energy anymore? The Department of Education offices look like they’re in Detroit (old Detroit, not the capitalist hellhole you turned it into).
The Department of Energy was created by the people, for the people, to create alternative energy sources. We could be living for free off the grid using wind and solar, but the oil companies you work for shut that down. Fracking is now rampant all over the country and we have no idea how that will affect the water table.
More people would know about this destruction if you hadn’t killed education by privatizing virtually every school in the country. Public schools weren’t perfect, but the problem was systemic and related to the parents just as much as the teachers. By refusing to fix a broken system and starting anew, you have left thousands of teachers unemployed as well as many times more in the administration and teachers’ unions.
You handed off the war in Afghanistan to Putin and the North Korean conflict to whomever is in charge of China. Are you aware of the human rights records these leaders have? You said we are “no longer the world’s police” without justifying how we can turn a blind eye to all this suffering.
Speaking of police, their war on African-American people of color continues unabated. You say this “employment boom” is most prevalent in the black community, but at what cost? By cutting welfare down to almost nothing, you are denying single mothers the care they deserve. Abortion would have been a way out of this mess, but you cut that, too. The “black family is back” (as you put it), but it’s not because they love each other. It’s because you denied black women their independence. That’s not romance. It’s marriage rape. Also, you lie when you pin this back-to-work trend on the drop in crime. Crime is down because your draconian laws have forced everyone into what are essentially labor camps across the country. Detroit hasn’t been revitalized. Slavery has.
Crime is also down because of fear. Abolishing gun control has left the poor petrified of being shot by racists. What have you done? How can you sleep at night? We used to be a nation that cared for huddled masses. Now we crack the whip and march them into factories. Animals die, the arts suffer, and everyone wakes up thinking , “I want Obama back,”
