Cleveland, OH – Organizers from the Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC hit the streets of downtown Cleveland, July, 15, taking out the word about the national protest set for the opening day of the Republican National Convention.

Al parecer, el candidato para la presidencia elegido por el Partido Republicano, será el intolerante multi-millonario Donald Trump. En muchos sentidos, Trump representa todo lo que está mal con este país. Es un incansable promotor de ataques racistas contra inmigrantes y musulmanes, al igual que un misógino que defiende la opresión de la mujer. Al mismo tiempo es un predicador de la avaricia disfrazado como aliado de los trabajadores. Es un populista de derecha que solo posee una característica positiva, y es que, a menos que ocurra un cambio inesperado, es un candidato inelegible.

As things stand, billionaire and bigot Donald Trump will be the Republican standard bearer for the presidency. In many ways he is a symbol of everything that is wrong with this country. He is a tireless promoter of racist anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim attacks. He is a misogynist, who defends the oppression of women. Trump spreads the gospel of ‘greed is good’ while pretending to be a friend of the working person. He is a right-wing populist with only one redeeming feature – that, barring some big change, he is unelectable.

Minneapolis, MN – Donald Trump’s ascendance to international political notoriety has sent shockwaves through the Western world’s political powers. Trump’s rejection of the establishment’s norms of behavior and of what he terms “political correctness” is unbalancing bourgeoisie democratic values. On the international scene, Trump is recognized as a simple schoolyard bully who teases and assaults those who have any semblance of creative or individual thought. In Trump’s vision for America you better kneel before the god of ‘businessman’ bravado, hyper-patriotism, bigotry, and triumphalism or you’re not worthy of access to the playground.
