Donald Trump look-a-like supporter
American veteran writes open letter: 'To My Friends Who Support Donald Trump'
A traveling photographer who goes by “TheJeremyNix” recently penned an open letter after being baffled by friends who are Donald Trump supporters. Sound familiar?
In his bio, Jeremy Nix, a 42-year-old returning college student, says he was born cross-eyed and has “always seen the world in double vision.” His entire letter is a good spot-on read and can be found on his website.
Here are some excerpts from: To my friends who support Donald Trump:
I'm cool with you removing me from your friends list if you don't like this post. You can even disown me if you like. But Donald Trump isn't a good person, nor would he be a good president. I can understand a difference in politics. I can understand if you don't like a government run by Democrats. I can understand if you don't like certain ideologies, like Socialism. But I can't understand why you would support someone as hateful, sexist, racist and ignorant as Donald Trump.
The author says discrimination, such as Trump wanting to ban all Muslims, is not the answer nor is it acceptable behavior for a person seeking U.S. presidency.
The Japanese Internment camps were wrong, Segregation was wrong, Slavery was wrong. We fought wars amongst ourselves to rise above racism and hatred. In WWII more than 60 million people died worldwide. Why? Because of twisted people who were whipping up the population into a frenzy and making ridiculous statements, killing innocent people simply because of their race or religion.
Nix sees Donald Trump as having a brainwashing effect on some of his followers. There seems to be an odious mob mentality at some of the Trump rallies.
The kind of leadership Trump is displaying is irresponsible and dangerous. His virulent ideas are seeping into the brains of his supporters. Supporters who think it's okay to say things like "light the mother@!$%#er on fire" while a protester is being dragged out of one of his rallies.
Adding humor, JeremyTheNix says:
He (Trump) is the crazy person at your dinner table who won’t stop running his mouth. The only reason he is allowed to carry on with his ugly hateful rhetoric is because you have too much respect for Grandma to get into a fist fight in her home.
And in one of his final pleas, the writer adds...
If you're not a racist, bigoted, misogynistic jerk, then voting for Trump simply because you don't like Democrats is wrong.
Agreed, and I’ll be sharing Nix’s sentiments on my personal social network pages for my lurking Trump-supporting Facebook friends. I know I have them, but in my case, they rarely speak out given they’ve seen me, a staunch liberal, challenge, run off, or block right-wing extremists. It’s sad when you realize a buddy from college is a flaming tea partier, and though you want to understand them, some just have to go. Many of us are open to debate and discussion, but just don’t have the patience of TheJeremyNix who takes time to explain from a reasonable position. The same fans who support Donald Trump often support Rush Limbaugh, Ted Cruz and their ilk. These types of politicians are all from the “same church”—just different pews.
