We’re not gonna keep pretending this was about “policy.” That it was “just politics.” That any of this was ever neutral.
Donald Trump didn’t “divide the nation”; the nation was already divided. He just took a fucking blowtorch to it and got rich doing it.
He didn’t build anything. He exploited what was already broken. He played white America’s fear like a damn fiddle and then sold tickets to the concert.
Yes, from the beginning? It was racism.
When he announced his campaign by calling Mexican immigrants drug dealers, criminals, and rapists. It wasn’t some offhand moment. It was the start of a plan. It was a signal to white supremacy: I’m your guy. Given his face looks like that little racist frog meme and all.
This wasn’t new. He’d already been pushing that racist birther lie about Obama for years, acting like the first Black president wasn’t legit because his skin made Trump uncomfortable. It wasn’t “doubt.” It was hate. That’s what got him attention. That’s what built his base.
He kept going.
He called for a Muslim ban.
He referred to Black and brown countries as “shitholes.”
He told Black women in Congress to “go back” where they came from. Three were born here though, I don’t think any of Trumps wives were.
He refused to condemn white supremacists. Told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.” They heard him. Loud and clear.
And this whole time he was being taken to court by E. Jean Carroll for sexual assault. She won. He was found liable for sexual abuse. That’s not speculation. That’s not internet gossip. That’s legal fact. You voted for a rapist and a man who is proven to have said he just can’t help himself around beautiful women and I’m sure you know the rest of the line. I mean for Christ sake your vote was for a racist walking meme.
So while he was out here calling immigrants rapists , he was in court being held responsible for exactly that kind of violence. But the media won’t call it rape. They say “scandal.” They say “controversy.” They say “misconduct.” Nah. Say what the fuck it is.
Your president is a RAPIST!
This country made excuses for him. Over and over again. It’s not “bias” to say he’s racist . And it’s restraint not to say worse, honestly.
And we’re not gonna do the media’s job and soften this shit for you.
This is Poeaxtry’s Poetry Prism.
We don’t worship people who use power to abuse.
We don’t confuse “influence” for integrity.
We don’t forget.
We document the harm and provide a space for those targeted by Trump’s hate to share their own truths and reclaim their voices.
Stick around for more.
