Ora Pro Nobis

     A week and a half ago U.S. postal workers discovered the first of a dozen pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats by Cesar Seyoc, a man who derived his source of inspiration from Donald Trump, whose hallmark is condoning violence among his supporters against his critics:                        

"Trump praises GOP congressman who assaulted reporter: 'Any guy that can do a body slam — he's my guy.'"
Picture

"Trump tells police officers they should rough people up more during arrests. 'Please don't be too nice,' he said, to laughter from the crowd."


"At a Las Vegas rally he said security guards were too gentle with a protester. 'He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing,' Trump said. 'I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you.'"
Picture
Picture
"Trump supporters chant 'Lock Her Up' the same day Hillary Clinton was sent a pipe bomb."
Picture

     In Louisville Kentucky, two days after the news of the pipe bombs, one Gregory A Bush, whose face evokes a cyborg with a circuit-board run haywire behind its glass eyes, went on a mission to gun down African Americans and killed two people who were shopping at a Kroger's.
      And three days after the Kroger's shooting eleven people in a synagogue were shot to death with an assault rifle wielded by Robert Bowers, a twisted, hate-filled social media fiend who may be  the avatar for the all the twisted, hate-filled minds spreading the plague of antisemitism in this country that has intensified in the two years since Donald Trump has been in office.

     For Americans it's been a week of horror, and we are all still gripped by shock, grief, fear, barely able to find the words to help us come to terms with the terrible things going on around us.
     Some families have just  finished burying their dead;

...others have just started.
    But Donald Trump has, of course, already moved on, barely pausing along the way to read or tweet a few lifeless words about unity and coming together before getting back to his main job as President of the United States:
...whipping up his base into a frenzy against his critics.
Picture
     A couple of days ago one of my Facebook friends posted this:
Picture
...to which I commented:
Picture
  I think my Facebook friend and I got to the double-branched root of the problem:
   (1) A President whose embrace of the principles of White Nationalism has emboldened a legion of nematodes to slither out from under their rocks while giving society's most severely deranged,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...a big, visible blaring, direction towards which to warp,
Picture
Picture
...and (2) the easy availability of guns and assault rifles to even those most severely deranged.
      But Donald Trump will not say that Nazis are bad because neo-Nazis make up a significant chunk of his base and the issue of banning assault rifles has barely surfaced this mass-murder around.
      Instead Donald Trump has chosen to quickly change the subject of those who died last week and further rattle the nerves of our already too-rattled nation by springing on us that he plans to abolish the 14th amendment - which grants citizenship to all those born on our soil - because he can.
       His anti-immigrant supporters are now hopped up on the idea while far-right conservative pundits on Fox News gleefully pick apart our Constitution to argue that the 14th Amendment in truth never meant that just anybody born here was entitled to American citizenship.
        The rest of us nervously wonder if Donald Trump can, in fact, erase whichever of our Constitutional rights it pleases him to erase,

...even if he can't grieve with us.
