Trump fulfills his hateful campaign promises with no objections from Republicans

Editor:

After the election of Donald Trump, a year ago, I wrote a letter that I titled “Hate Won.” A year ago, I could only write about his hateful campaign promises; now I can write how he has fulfilled those promises.

The Trump administration has used racial profiling to make very public, aggressive arrests using excessive force by masked officers, in full tactical gear, including the use of military helicopters, to apprehend and deport people (including U.S. citizens) without due process.

Dressing officers in full tactical gear, purposefully using excessive force to make violent public arrests are done to dehumanize people. Officers wear masks to prevent accountability for using cruel and excessive force in violation of our Constitution and the law.

The leader of the Republican Party has called entire communities garbage, an ugly and hateful expression. Not one Republican has objected. It is obvious they revel in harming, subjugating and dispossessing those they consider the wrong race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney and Congressman Nick Langworthy support the dehumanization of immigrants. Ms. Tenney, in fact wants to put an image of Mr. Trump on Mr. Rushmore for his policies of racism and hate.
