If we nominate Trump we are going to be destroyed, and we’ll deserve it.

50 Reasons to Vote Blue This November
[Palestine is not one of them, shamefully. The Zionists just as severely own Holocaust Harris as Genocide Joe or Donald Trump, who gave the Golan Heights away, put the US embassy to Israel in Jerusalem, and whose son-in-law Jared Kushner is eager to finish the job in Gaza]

In 2016, the political world as we know it was altered; Brexit and the millions, only days after regretting their democratic vote, a failed coup against President Erdogan in Turkey, and finally, fake news helped Trump’s campaign win the White House.
Oxford Dictionaries declared “post-truth” its international word of the year.
Defined by the dictionary as an adjective “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief,” editors said that the use of the term “post-truth” had increased by around 2,000% in 2016 compared to last year. The spike in usage, it said, is “in the context of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States.”
The 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals that trust is in crisis worldwide. The general population’s trust in all four key institutions — business, government, NGOs, and media — has declined broadly, a phenomenon not reported since Edelman began tracking trust among this segment in 2012.
With the fall of trust, the majority of respondents now lack full belief that the overall system is working for them. In this climate, people’s societal and economic concerns, including globalization, the pace of innovation, and eroding social values, turn into fears, spurring the rise of populist actions now playing out in several Western-style democracies.
To rebuild trust and restore faith in the system, institutions must step outside their traditional roles and work toward a new, more integrated operating model that puts people — and addresses their fears — at the center of everything they do.
