“Oh, You Hate Trump!” she said.

That happened to me when a Trump supporter discovered I didn’t support him. I never have.

My reply to that Trump supporter, who brushed me off, not asking for my reasons, and may never read what my answer would have been:

“No, I despise him.”

This Trump supporter never asked for my reasons. It seems none of them do.

Thesaurus.com doesn’t list despise as a synonym of hate, but hate is listed as a synonym of despise. That was confusing, so I asked, what is worse, hate or despise.

Google’s AI Overview replied, “Hate is generally considered to be worse than despise because it can have negative mental and physical effects on the person experiencing it and the target of the hatred…”

Trump has a lot of targets for his hatred,
and he lies about all of them.

Still, I wanted something worse than hate and asked another question and got this: “Loathe is an even stronger word to describe extreme hatred.”

So, what are the top-five reasons why I loathe Traitor Trump?

Limiting my reasons to only five wasn’t easy since there are so many choices. I mean, I just read today that Trump lied, again, no surprise there, since that’s what he does, that schools are secretly providing and obtaining gender-affirming surgeries for children. CNN fact checked that one.

Lloyd’s FIVE reasons why he Loathes
Traitor Trump

First: The violent, failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021, where Traitor Trump used the word fight at his insurrection rally about 20 times, and the violent MAGA mob chanted “Fight for Trump,” while he only used the word peaceful (no chant for that word) once early in the traitor’s almost 11,000-word, lie-filled, hate rant.

Second: Trump’s leadership style as a mob boss and his undisguised love/worship of brutal dictators like Putin, who has threatened to nuke the United States and its NATO allies, and North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jon Un, who wants to nuke the United States and our allies.

Third: Traitor Trump is a convicted rapist, fraud, and felon.

Fourth: Traitor Trump spreads hate and is a murderer. To spread hate, the traitor publicly names people he thinks are his enemies or aren’t doing what he wants. Then those individuals and their families get death threats from the traitor’s fascist MAGA mafia.

For murder, the traitor deliberately mishandled the COVID epidemic, turning it into a political issue, while offering advice at press conferences about medications to take that did not do anything to treat COVID. The traitor’s recommendations made COVID worse, horribly worse.

The country with the most deaths from COVID was the United States, with more than 1.2 million deaths. The country in second place was Brazil with about 700k deaths, more than 500,000 less than the United States. The traitor is not a medical doctor. The traitor is not a scientist. The traitor is not a specialist in infectious diseases.

Fifth: Traitor Trump’s lies, while also spreading hoaxes and conspiracy theories. Like his recent lies about legal Haitian immigrant eating dogs and cats.

LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE!

I don’t know why, but one of the traitor’s tens-of-thousands of lies refuses to end up forgotten/lost where human memoires are stored in the hippocampus, the central switching point for where our overall memories are kept.

I first heard this lie during one of the presidential debates in 2016. Back then, Donald Trump wasn’t a traitor. That came later on January 6, 2021. Still, he was a crime family Don.  The evidence (Trump’s financial records from 2013-2020) resulted in a guilty verdict.  The trial took place from October 2023 to January 2024. The resulting fine, to pay back US$364 million of Trump’s ill-gotten gains, among other penalties. New York v. Trump, et al. where the Trump organization that Donald Trump leads was found guilty on all counts of criminal tax fraud.

Still, the lie I can’t forget is when Donald Trump said that the United States never makes anything anymore. I knew it was a lie, and it was an easy fact check. The United States has the 2nd largest manufacturing sector in the world. The reason for human employment dropping in the manufacturing sector is because those jobs have been and are still being replaced by robots, that do most of the work that humans once did.

“The top ten manufactured products exported from the United States are:

  • Transportation equipment
  • Chemicals
  • Machinery
  • Computer and electronic products
  • Petroleum and coal products
  • Food
  • Primary metal
  • Medical equipment, sporting goods, and miscellaneous
  • Fabricated metal products
  • Electrical equipment” 

“The United States is a manufacturing powerhouse, and produces a variety of everyday products, including cars, clothing, computers, and furniture. Some other products made in the United States.”

    I wish your voice could reach all those non-MAGA voters who won’t vote for /him/, but won’t vote for Harris either. Some don’t ‘like’ either candidate, but oh so many simply can’t be bothered. Democracy isn’t a right, it’s a privilege that must be earned.

      I understand Australia has something the U.S. doesn’t have, compulsory voting. Does that mean voters in Australia pay more attention to the candidate’s history vs words before voting?

      Freedom in the US didn’t always mean what it does today, that individuals are free to do whatever they want even if it kills them or someone else. Still, for all that freedom to allows people to be careless and stupid like every member of the MAGA cult and their little orange god, the US has more people in prison than any other country on the planet. More than China, that has a population more than four times larger than the U.S. More than Russia. The countries in the Americas have a much higher murder rate than the rest of the world, too.

        When I was young, I was angry at Australians for being so ‘apathetic’ about politics. It was only decades later that I was shocked to learn that very few other democracies have compulsory voting. I just took voting for granted, not realising how very lucky we are.

        Apart from making voting in all 3 levels of government – Federal, State and local councils – compulsory, /when/ you vote has always been made as easy as possible. Our elections are always held on Saturdays so that the maximum number of people can vote without hardship.
        We also have what’s affectionately called the ‘democracy sausage’. Basically each polling booth also has a sausage sizzle set up where for 2$ you can buy a bbq sausage wrapped in a slice of bread with fried onions and tomato sauce, or mustard. They’re actually delicious. 🙂

        The money goes to whichever charity is running the sausage sizzle, and it’s become a much loved tradition for voters.

        Oddly enough, the punishment for not voting is ridiculously low – I think we missed one local election and only had to pay a $50 fine. So it’s not much of a deterrent. We just grow up knowing we have to vote so it’s not really that big a deal.

        Jerrymandering has also been eliminated to make the results commensurate with the populations who will be affected by them. Together with preferential voting – where you have to vote for each candidate but with a 1 being your top preference and say a 5 being the one you hate the most. lol Again, this is to ensure that, overall, the voting reflects the will and desires of the greatest number of voters.

        Are all Aussies knowledgeable about which candidate represents what? Yes and no. In the last few elections, we’ve had a major change in voting habits with a lot of Independents being elected to parliament. These Independents have to be ‘wooed’ by whichever major party actually wins a majority. As such, the need to compromise is almost baked in.
        According to Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_politicians_in_Australia#Federal

        12/151 members of the Federal House of Representatives are Independents. Many of those Independents are women who rose up out of their communities and are fiercely supported by those communities. When/if the Independents go against the government of the day on a particular issue, they have enough power to force a compromise. Or to kill off the bill entirely. Again, this means that the vote reflects the will of most voters rather than giving all power to one of two ideologies. I hope we get more and more Independents.

        For us, the bottom line is that the middle of the bell curve gets to decide who’s in and who’s out. The extremes at either end do not have as much power as they do in the US and other, older democracies.

        The majority can be swayed by selfishness or fear – our recent failed referendum is proof of that – but by and large, our majorities tend to be more moderate, allowing our governments to have less extreme swings.

        Sorry for the long explanation, but I’ve come to realise just how different we are.

        Maybe if the United States ever gets rid of the Electoral College, elections here will improve.

        Yes, the Electoral College seems to be a hangover from a time when it made sense, and does no longer.

        I was interested to hear in the news that in the UK, they are finally getting rid of the inherited seats of the House of Lords. Talk about /that/ being long overdue.

        From what I’ve read about the Electoral College, it was a comprise to keep all 13 colonies in the rebellion fighting the British Empire. The population of the colonies with slaves who weren’t slaves was heavily outnumbered by the colonies that had little or no slavery.

        When the Civil War came along, that’s the major reason the southern slave states lost. The northern free states had so many people, they could throw away armies and replace them. The southern states couldn’t. The north had more factories without slave labor. The south had more cotton tended to and picked by slaves.

        Ugh, a compromise that the Founding Fathers might regret if they could see where it led.

        If dead people roll over in their graves, then the U.S. Founding fathers have been spinning so fast in their graves since 2016, they have become a blur. Imagine how dizzy they are. Maybe even since the 1980s when Reagan was president. Or earlier with Nixon. Do dead people vomit after a couple of centuries in the ground?

        My good friend Laurie Boris has written a series of short stories about just this. The premise is that Benjamin Franklin invents a time machine and takes a couple of young ex presidents for a joy ride. What they see in the future shocks them and makes them go back to their own time to try to fix the root causes. Essentially they’re tying to change the future. lol Our present.

        I like the concept of those short stories. She has 19 titles on her Author book page. I’m looking at the covers and don’t see one that fits. Maybe one of the flash fiction anthologies.

        When I looked at Laurie Boris’s Amazon Author page, one book caught my attention the most.

        The Kitchen Brigade

        “It’s 2049, in a Russian-occupied America ravaged by civil war. Valerie Kipplander—daughter of the assassinated secretary of state—is thrown in jail. When the regime discovers this daughter of privilege is also a talented culinary student, she’s forced into service in the kitchen of a Russian general whose troops occupy New York.”

        I think this story may be close to what may happen in the United States if Harris loses the election. After all, “At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union had an estimated 22,000 military personnel in Cuba.”

        And after Putin got his puppet dictators in Venezuela, after that fairly healthy democracy, considered the most prosperous in South America with the best health care system collapsed, Russian support kept those dictators in power.

        https://www.vox.com/2019/3/27/18283807/venezuela-russia-troops-trump-maduro-guaido

        “If the estimated 20,000-25,000 Cuban security forces that the U.S. says are in Venezuela were to leave, “Maduro would fall soon thereafter,” White House National Security Advisor, John Bolton, told Univision on Wednesday.”

        https://www.univision.com/univision-news/latin-america/cubas-army-in-venezuela-doctors-or-soldiers

        So, I think it isn’t that far-fetched that if Traitor Trump were to lie and cheat his way back into the White House and launch his Project 25 to replace the U.S. Constitution, with him a brutal dictator on day one, there would be a bloody civil war, and the traitor would call on his buddy Putin to send Soviet troops to protect him. They’d probably land in Florida where Trump would be using Mar-a-Lago as the White House since Washinton DC wouldn’t be a safe place for him.

        The line between fiction and possibility is very, very fine at the moment. I truly hope this scenario falls on the ‘fiction’ side of the equation.
        I’m glad you, and Laurie, and Jill and so many others are doing what the media should be doing, which is exposing tRump for what he is, a dictator wannabe. 😦

        The first thriller in my Josh Kavanagh series is set mostly in Montana in 2018, and the The Patriot Oath got several one-star reviews from Traitor Trump loyalists, who must have skin as thin as his, who said they enjoyed the book until near the end when the author jumped in with his personal opinion in one paragraph that doesn’t make Trump look good. Still, that’s not the case. One of the minor characters, who is French in France at the time, was thinking about a (factual) opinion piece (written by a real person) she’d read in a (real) Irish Newspaper about Trump throwing children in cages. While writing that chapter I searched for news or opinion piece published in Europe that character might have read about Trump and found that one at the top of the search. All the accurate information is there if one of Trump’s minions had taken the time to fact check it.

        I could be wrong, but I don’t think Trump appears once by name in Never for Glory, the 2nd thriller in the series set mostly in Venezuela in 2019,

        Trump’s name appears more than once (and it’s never flattering) in Fiddling with Death, the 3rd thriller in the series, set in 2020. One chapter to go. Should be released the first quarter of 2025. I’ll be waiting for those 1-star reviews if they read the book. Most of them said they’d never read another book I wrote.

        I haven’t started the 4th thriller in the series but I’m planning on the first chapter opening on or after January 6, 2021, with some pull quotes from Traitor Trump’s speech before the violent attempted coup took place. The one where Trump’s mob was chanting “fight for Trump” after Trump used the word “fight” almost 20 times in his rambling hate and lie filled almost 11,000-word, 90-minute-long Gish Gallop.

        lol – I love the amount of research you did! Sadly, as each year goes by, the amount of damning /facts/ about that man pile up like poop in a sewer. And every lie or half truth he tells about others is really something he is guilty of. Talk about projection. I fear that history will look back on this time as one of the dark periods of our existence.

        And, if the traitor wins, he may have one of his MAGA loyalists write the history. No race is over until it is over. Also, if he does, my next book may end up not publishable.

        Amazon may not allow it for fear of reprisals from the Traitor. The 1st Amendment may end up flushed, gone, replaced by Project 2025 and a ruthless Putin loving dictator.

        Nothing the traitor does set him back. Not even making a lewd comment about Arnold Palmer’s junk. Each day the gap between Harris and Traitor Trump in the polls shrinks closer to almost dead heat. Harris has almost lost her lead in the polls. Another day or two, and it could be gone.

    I compose my blog to say comparable thoughts about Trump. It is called the Love Chronicles, and Trump is the subject of a lot of my writings. I detest the man, long before he became a political candidate, he was always a racist, immoral person!
