Boston Globe: “GOP must stop Trump”

FAKE Boston Globe “Trump” front page in “Donald Trump’s America” (created by The Boston Globe).

From The Boston Globe:

Donald J. Trump’s vision for the future of our nation is as deeply disturbing as it is profoundly un-American.

It is easy to find historical antecedents. The rise of demagogic strongmen is an all too common phenomenon on our small planet. And what marks each of those dark episodes is a failure to fathom where a leader’s vision leads, to carry rhetoric to its logical conclusion. The satirical front page of this section attempts to do just that, to envision what America looks like with Trump in the White House.

It is an exercise in taking a man at his word. And his vision of America promises to be as appalling in real life as it is in black and white on the page. It is a vision that demands an active and engaged opposition. It requires an opposition as focused on denying Trump the White House as the candidate is flippant and reckless about securing it.

After Wisconsin, the odds have shrunk that Trump will arrive in Cleveland with the requisite 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination outright. Yet if he’s denied that nomination for falling short of the required delegates, Trump has warned, “You’d have riots. I think you’d have riots.” Indeed, who knows what Trump’s fervent backers are capable of if emboldened by the defeat of their strongman at the hands of the hated party elite.

But the rules are the rules — and if no candidate reaches that magic number, the job of choosing a nominee falls to those on the convention floor.

The rest is the typical establishment GOP slander of candidate Trump, ending with this:

For now, Republicans ought to focus on doing the right thing: putting up every legitimate roadblock to Trump that they can. Unexpectedly, a key moment in American democracy has snuck up on the GOP. When he denounced Trump, Romney said he wanted to be able to say he’d fought the good fight against a demagogue. That’s the test other Republicans may want to consider.

Action doesn’t mean political chicanery or subterfuge. It doesn’t mean settling for an equally extreme — and perhaps more dangerous — nominee in Ted Cruz. If the party can muster the courage to reject its first-place finisher, rejecting the runner-up should be even easier.

The Republican Party’s standard deserves to be hoisted by an honorable and decent man, like Romney or Ryan, elected on the convention floor. It is better to lose with principle than to accept a dangerous deal from a demagogue.

The complete fake “Trump” front page can be seen HERE.

Reading the comments is even more enlightening. Typical Cambridge readers think it would be good to stop the Republican Party entirely.  The more rational among them compares this Sunday’s Boston Globe to either Mad Magazine or The National Lampoon.

    Talk about propaganda. The press is nothing but a political.

    At the risk of echoing Nyet nothing is new under the sun, the above cartoon is attributed to Sydney B Griffin (1854 – 1923).

    Well it is Boston after all, after the Marathon bombing they decreased the citizens’ abilities to defend themselves while refusing a 3-day witing period and registration for pressure cookers. The bombing itself and the growing tide of dissatisfied Moslems are the result of ethnodiscriminatory policies by the white, Christian conservative Republicans, as determined by the Greater Bahstonian ‘We’re Superior to You in Evey Way’ society.
    Not having green and clean politicians such as the Kennedys, Cabots or Lodges to worship, they’re having largely self-destructed, the best the Societal Saviors can do is degrade others they find morially, socialy, physicall, poitically, etc, to Bostonians. Thtat’s not difficult as that group includes just about everyboby.
    I oarticularly like the line that suggests Trump would order ISIS families killed, a way forvthe Globe to flex ist anti-US military muscles by putting the though into the minds of its readers that US actions maybe are killing ISIS family members while the pita winners are out killing non-Moslem families – as in Vietnam and everywar since the Globe seems to find US-caused collateral damages unacceptable while ignoring the murders inflicted by the bad guys.
    We all know when ISIS gets set up here they won’t dare carry out any wet actions in Boston as the residents have been sooooo understanding and supportive of ISIS’s different cultural values. Boston will continue to work for greater cultural inclusion of the disparate and misunderstood Moslem beliefs and the acceptable deaths that may occur during the ‘warm and huggy’ period will be solely due to that Republican intransigence.

            We had a team from Barksdale fly nonstop to Egypt for an arclight demo, arrived on target exactly ss predicted. Best the Egyptians could put up is one creaky old Russian bomber that dropped a single 500-pounder. Even though Egyptians had their timevof arrival and target data their air defense, we were told, was unable to effectively deal with them. One came screaming down their runway at estimated treetop level ( no trees there to use as a measure) leaving clouds of black smoke as it hailed butt at low level and climbed out.

    Moments of sheer propaganda and hysteria from the front page of the Boston Globe:

    The president made the announce­ment in a nationally televised address last night from the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C., now a Trump International Hotel. << Interpretation “Trump is rich and we hate him.”

    Desegregation, Curfews, Massive Deportation Force, white House Blacklist, George Papado­ poulos, 400 Billion Dollar Deportation Program, The scent of tear gas pervades Lafayette Square, Detention Centers, Censured, Diplomatic Crisis, Penthouse, Trade Wars Seem Imminent, << I wonder if they used a thesaurus or did a “fear mongering at its finest” search to come up with this jolly list 🙄

    “dishes go unwashed in the kitchens of San Francisco restaurants and if our $3 billion strawberry crop is ulti­mately left to rot.” Why isn’t this directly attributed to some chap or chappette like Matt Lauer or Kelly Osborne?

    And the braying ignorance continues in its inglorious pursuit of winning the dunce of the decade golden Depends award.

    “an eviscer­ation of the First Amend­ment,”

    “Limiting American Me­dia Entitlement Act”

    “Investors are spooked, and global recession now seems possible.”

    Good grief.

    I usually work on a more personal, local level, as there are many people who have more knowledge, resources, know how and connections than me who work at the larger public level.

    That said I am going to start begging The NY Post and the NY Daily News to post a simple front page.

    America 2018; Brought to you by a Hillary, Bernie, Cruz, or Kasich Presidency.
