Repugnant republicans,,what does it take Trumps..the Gun and the obssession




What does it take Donald Trump for you to get it? What does a man with a thin skin and a large ego Who need to understand.? I thought you were pro life? Or is it different after the child is born? You know that awkward moment when the children are real and live in society. I know that's difficult for you to think it through or understand,, What does it say about a society where there are more guns than people?. When mental health safeguards are cast aside because of your worship at the shrine of the freemarket and then you are as guilty as the murderer. When you groveled to the National Rifle Association because of your desperation to win and fill the hole in your self esteem.. then you are as guilty as the shooter.. When the men in shark skin suits placate, sooth and flatter your toddler like mind then they are as guilty as the murderer....


When you don't understand that the NRA are the executioners who do not actually open fire ….When more people have been shot by toddlers than terrorists and when it's white men and not brown ones that blow you away..and you don't see it then you are in denial. When you don't understand that the manufacture of guns is about profit and not freedom. When you don't understand that the second amendment is about militia and muskets and not your inadequacy you might as well have pulled the trigger yourself. When you leave the USA and cross into Canada the death by fire arms virtually vanished? What does it take Donald Trump to realise that the sickness haunting American society pulled the trigger. That the mental health of a sixty four yeast old ppaccountant wenr unnoticed because of the myth of the great society. The truth is Donald you are the personification of the sickness. Your ego pulled the trigger.

Your ramblings, ignorance and simplicity made it possible...you Donald and your ilk are the the men who made the guns, made the ammunition and now hide from what you have done . ONLY IN America can you have a gun licence when you have a pre-existing mental illness.. naturally if you have a pre-existing physical illness you can't get cover....meanwhile not 50 miles from the site of the shooting there is a arms and guns fair tbat offers free entrance to children.. just to get them interested.. WTF does it take Trump..there have been 18 shootings at schoolsthis year alone.. since Dunblaine here there have been none...whwn you could do something and do nothing, when you cosy up to the NRA Trump you are the executioner and the creator.. you are the destroyer of youth.. you are the inner killer and the agent of darkness
..what does it take Trump. .? Let's abolish schools that way the guns never kill children in schools. Don't worry about education . What's that in comparison to the right to bear arms, why not abolish the entire constitution but leave the second amendment. You don't even know Trump what irony or education is? DO YOU.



And as the vigil begins in Florida I hear the rigjt wing white men begin to beat that the shooter was a 'nut job'. They close their eyes and look the other way when it us pointed out that he was a white supremacist who claimed adherence to being a Nationalist. Yet had the shooter been brown skinned or Islamic then it would have been the first thing they would mention.

It is so hard for me as a white heterosexual muddle class male to be aware of my own prejudices and of the blind spots tbat I have little perception of. I have spent a life time trying to understand the assumptions that I make. Yet it is even harder for these right wing white men who surrounded by others like them to appreciate the prejudices and blind spots that a social system has told them through the Mail and the Sun what common sense is. Farage fed them; Trump inspires them, the bluekippers preserve them and denial obscures the reality.

They will tell me that I should be proud of my race ..yet they won't see we are who we are because of our class, our culture and our ethnicity and conditioning. They will assume that male behaviour is biologically determined not culturally constructed. They will assume that the behaviour at Presidents Gate is normal. It's hard enough for men like myself to understand patriarchy and power. They will talk about witchi hunts because their power is threatened . They will use words like 'cackling' and condemn powerful women at the BAFTAs. Their words could have come from the Witch hunters of the 17th century yet they are totally unaware if the origins if their words and discourse.
I see Welsh Assembly members like Niel McEvoy make assumptions that male or female is determined purely by genetalia.. these assumptions of the right wing white males are so entrenched so ingrained that it's miasma effects progressive; socialist and reflective males.
It's no accident that slavery, the domestication animals icvured at the same time that patriarchy emerged.

Nicolas Cruse the shooter in the Florida Massacre grew up in this society. How many female shooters have there been who have massacred others? I guess some little male libertarian will spend the morning anally searching out female shooters and will parade it proudly at the end of my post. He will be the same character who only sees the brown skinned male as a terrorist. He won't reflect upon his assumptions and it's hard enough for me to spot my own blind spots. Yet it something we all should do..its uncomfortable and disturbing and with Trump in the White House and with the economic consequences of late capitalism then the white right men of the Rust Belt and of the non metropolitan areas of the UK will find it more so. Patriarchy predates capitalism as does our attitude to other cultures and sexualities. Capitalism makes it worse and uses these preconditions to divide us from one another. I often feel that it works unconsciously within both within the individual psyche and the collective one. Let us all face the shadow within and face up to our assumptions, hotspots and prejudices..its hard and it's frightening..but we must do it to shake off the collective hypnosis..even as I write I hear an American student wounded by grief deny that this is a gun issue...its like saying we should abolish schools to prevent massacres there..what does it take for the cultural scales to fall from our eyes...what dies it take?
