My friend is just another white guy from Texas who understands what Trump never will

My good friend Cody, a white guy from Texas who loves his country music and boots, has an important message that would do the country well if they would read with an open mind and see all of America through his eyes. It would be a beautiful thing.

I was about to check into bed a bit early for a change, before 2:00 AM, when I ran across Cody’s post. The sentiment in his post did not surprise me. After all, he lives it and all of his friends see it and know it. What stood out is how he expressed the rewarding nature of embracing the diversity of cultures. Many of us feel the way he does. But I think his persona and prose conveys it in a manner that could reach many who’s fears are exploited by the likes of our misogynistic, sexist, xenophobic, racist, narcissistic president.

Trump like many demagogues channeled the fears and awakened the lingering racist seed in many to coax them into an irrational blaming of the other. That ignorance causes one to forego assigning blame where it really belongs. Trump like most unfettered capitalists are in fact the parasites, enriching themselves off of everyone else’s labor and sacrifices. If we get a portion of the Trump voter base to open their eyes and see through Cody’s eyes, real change would be possible.

Please read his piece with an open mind:
