Dear Editor,
If Americans cannot see the threat that Donald Trump poses to democracy in America, then truly they are blind.
Quite honestly, this is not even about a debate anymore, this is about the fact that a relatively unstable man might possibly be president of this country.
Even if he loses, he has already planted the seeds of discontent among his supporters, much to the point that they have already declared that there will be war if he loses.
For the GOP to sit back and allow this kind of farce to continue speaks volumes, and quite honestly, as far as I am concerned, well-thinking Americans should be very afraid.
I watched the last debate, and when Trump was asked if he lost the election if he would accept it with grace and dignity, his answer was quintessentially no. Because no matter how we try to spin it, that was exactly what his answer was. I thought to myself, this man is dangerous.
Every well-thinking American sitting in that audience at the last debate should have got up and walked out to show their disgust and disdain, and send a message to Donald and the GOP that it was unacceptable.
Those Jamaicans who have been allowed the chance to be here in America, and now have the right to vote here in America, and dare to suggest that they will vote for Donald Trump, it speaks volumes about their knowledge.
In the same manner they probably had no clue when they voted back home in Jamaica, they have brought that same ignorance here with them. It speaks volumes that they take the freedom afforded to them in America, as black people and as immigrants, as a darn joke. Because no one who understands what it really means to leave a Third World country and to now be in a country where you basically have uninhibited access to education, health care, etc, should throw that away by voting for a potential tyrant.
The actions and words of Donald Trump are the words and actions of a dictator, not of someone who upholds democracy.
We need to pray for this country, because win or lose, after this election Donald Trump will make sure that the America we all sing about as the “land of the free and the home of the brave” will cease to exist.
God have mercy on America.
