Jalen Milroe’s Magical Moment: Alabama’s Key to Triumph Over Tennessee

Opinion: Forget Nick Saban, Alabama football needs Jalen Milroe to be magical vs. Tennessee Alabama doesn’t need Nick Saban back as badly as it needs Jalen Milroe to borrow Bryce Young’s playbook and become the Crimson Tide’s next great Houdini. We’ve got to stop with this false narrative that Alabama lost its superpower the day

Trump’s Dystopian Vision: A Divisive America in Need of a Savior

 

Opinion: Trump Fabricates a Racist, Dystopian America That Only He Can Fix


Trump expresses regret over needing to target lawful migrants and ruin their lives to tackle the imaginary crisis he has opportunistically created in his mind.

Great news, citizens of America! Donald Trump claims he’s ready to rescue us from a made-up, racist nightmare!

 

As this presidential campaign nears its conclusion, a disconnected and aging Trump will intensify his utterly unfounded, surreal rhetoric. The GOP nominee will continue to address his rally audiences, asserting that immigrants, including the legal ones, have turned our nation into a brutal dystopia filled with violence, including murder, assault, and chaos in small towns.

Trump will insist that “they” ‒ MILLIONS OF “THEM”! ‒ are the reason behind economic downturns and job losses, even claiming they’ve even harmed our pets and committed numerous crimes. The undeniable realities of decreased border crossings, a thriving economy, low unemployment, pet safety, and reduced crime rates mean nothing to him. According to him, these facts are just more lies from socialists, Marxists, and communists. Right?

 

Trump Imagines an ‘Army of Illegal Alien Gang Members’

 

Here’s what Trump claimed about Democratic nominee Kamala Harris “and her radical-left associates” during a recent rally in Arizona:

 

“For four continuous years, she imported an army of illegal alien gang members and criminals from all over the globe. From prisons, mental institutions, and insane asylums. From Venezuela, the Congo, everywhere. And she has relocated them into your neighborhoods to prey on innocent Americans. If Kamala gets four more years, our entire country will turn into a makeshift migrant camp.”

That is his narrative, folks.

“They” have infiltrated your neighborhoods, and those who once inhabited prisons and mental wards are now a threat to poor, innocent people.

 

Trump’s Dystopian Vision Is Invisible to Us, but He Insists It’s Real

You may find it hard to believe any of this is happening. You might come across statistical evidence contradicting his statements. You could even consult a history book to understand how this type of dehumanizing language is a common tactic in authoritarian regimes, reflecting the Nazi regime’s dehumanization of Jews during Hitler’s era.

But you should dismiss all of that because the former president has his vision, and he’s determined to hold on to it. Best of all, he claims he’s the answer to these made-up crises: Donald Trump.

 

“When I win on November 5th,” Trump proclaimed at a recent rally in California, “the migrant invasion will cease, and our nation’s restoration will commence.”

 

In Aurora, Colorado, Trump announced, “I will rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered. We will lock up these bloodthirsty criminals or eject them from our country.”

That should sound reassuring to the residents of Aurora, given that local police reports indicate that crime has decreased by 17.2%, and the Republican mayor has confirmed that the city has not been overtaken or harmed in any way.

What Makes Facts Threatening to a 78-Year-Old Running for President?

<pYou’re likely thinking: STOP IT, FACTS! YOU’RE GETTING IN THE WAY OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S XENOPHOBIC NIGHTMARES!

 

I mean, what does a 78-year-old white man have to do to instill fear in others and make them anxious about imaginary hordes of violent individuals?

 

Here’s what he needs to do: he must refer to immigrants using harsh phrases like “sadistic monsters” and “animals.” He has to claim that immigrants have “infested” the places they reside.

 

He needs to fabricate stories, similar to what happened in Colorado, claiming, “People enter, they’re very ill. Extremely sick. They are coming into our country, already carrying highly contagious diseases. And we allow them in to spread these illnesses throughout our nation.”

 

He should announce, “I will invoke the Aliens Enemies Act of 1798,” a law that was horrifyingly used to justify the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

 

Regarding the legal Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, he must insist: “You need to get them out, get them out of here. I apologize for that.”

Only Trump can rescue us from this fictional nightmare he has created

He expresses regret, folks. He regrets that he will have to forcibly remove legal migrants and ruin their lives and communities in the U.S. to address the bogus issue he has conjured from his imagination.

The distorted, fearmongering version of America that Trump has fabricated can, conveniently, only be resolved by Trump himself. Thus, if you buy into this vision ‒ if you too are perceiving things that don’t exist and subscribing to blatant nonsense ‒ then Trump becomes the hero you believe in. He would claim that electing him is the only solution to the supposed nightmare you are enduring.

However, there is an alternative option.

If Trump were to lose, he and his twisted fantasies would be dismissed. The false, terror-laden image of America he created would vanish. Perhaps then, reality could triumph once more. Maybe we can finally break free from these delusions.

 

Maybe, at long last, we can Make Stupidity Embarrassing Again.
