Barack Obama :Nineveh: to welcome Donald Trump :greedy: to White House
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
How true.
Not surprisingly, he was assassinated (back in 43 BC).
Nothing has changed, and less has been learned.
A nation's greatest enemies often the very people who look like them.
This is why it us ever so grossly stupid to this very day, to conclude that an enemy is "that odd looking person over there."
The sheer stupidity of that; of it's ever repeated lesson never learned.
I truly feel sorry for the Trump supporter - they actually believe that because he looks like them and espouses their exact same extremist stupidities; bigotries and all the rest - he has their best interests at heart.
Talk about fools - even in Organized Crime, the wiser one's among them are ever aware that their greatest personal threat lies in the fact that their own hold their exact same corrupt value system.
