November is approaching at a increasing speed, and the candidates are sharpening three personal attacks on each other. Like in every single election since I arrived at this country, I am amazed by the viciousness and the incredible dirty war that happens as the election campaign final stretch comes to an end.
I used to think that some of this commercials on tv were cheap low jabs, out of context comments, or chopped conversations where the candidate is caught saying something very negative. So it was the job of the audience to look where could this things be verified and how truthful the comment was.
Since the arrival of Donald Trump to politics, nothing has been more disturbing to me that to hear him admit that he could say anything, he could even shoot someone in the middle of the street and he would still be elected president, because people didn't care what he did, they just simply love his rhetoric.
What is more disturbing is to hear him say the blood of migrants is poisoning the blood of the US citizens, that anyone not in his side is an enemy within, that both the current president and his vice-president are mentally challenged. How could it be that half of this country voters do agree with this man?
Where are the principles that we so carefully instill in the children in school about tolerance, diversity richness, respect... I am so conflicted accepting that most people in this country do see immigrants as a threat especially if they are not white.
Options, we do have options. We most exercise the power of our voices and go out there to try to change this distorted view of our reality.
