Accurate: Like George Wallace in the 1960s, Tru

Like George Wallace in the 1960s, Trump capitalizes on the need of many low-information, angry white voters to blame all of their troubles on somebody else. Jobs going overseas, wages stagnating, retirement funds disappearing – surely, this must be the fault of Mexican immigrants or Muslims.

Trump is loud, talks like a 4th grader, acts as though he is God’s gift to Earth, and adds plenty of fuel to the already-raging fire of minority resentment that exists in some right-wing circles in this country.

What is important is that no one who acts the way Trump acts and says what he says should be President of the United States.

It’s not a job for a 6-year-old child in the body of a 69-year-old reality TV star.

As President Obama appropriately said at a press conference this week, “This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States.”

That’s what voters should remember when they head to their polling places this fall and consider throwing their support behind a campaign that has done nothing but appeal to the worst of human instincts.

America is a wonderful place to where people all over the world flock. We are an increasingly diverse country, with each generation progressing toward a more tolerant and inclusive society.

Donald Trump’s candidacy is a response to that progress; a type of reaction that each generation must face down. It’s the bloodied and angry knife-wielding villain coming out of the shadows after we think we’ve already disposed of him.
