Despicable Stephen Miller - "a step into darkness"
Some of Stephen Miller's family members have a problem with the Trump administration as well as their relative's role in it, and have been making their feelings known on their personal Facebook pages.
"With all familial affection, I wish Stephen career success and personal happiness, however I cannot endorse his political preferences," Miller's uncle David S. Glosser wrote in a lengthy comment on the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, newspaper Tribune-Democrat's Facebook page in November, in response to a story about Miller's roots in the area. Stephen's mother, Miriam (Glosser) Miller, who is David's sister, grew up in Johnstown with her family. Mr. Glosser wrote:
"The Glosser family escaped Europe as dirt poor immigrants, joined the community, built businesses, and honestly sold goods to their fellow Johnstowners. Mr. Trump is trying to sell you something too. He sells fear of immigrants, contempt of our daughters, sisters, and wives, and sows discord and anger. He knows the dictators disgraceful sales tricks of challenging the integrity of democratic elections, he finds an unpopular outside group to blame our troubles on, cooks up false electoral fraud theories if he doesnt get his way, threatens and bullies his opponents, and tells us that he is the only one that can lead the nation ahead. Hes trying to sell you something, and its not a good product. For the first time in my memory a major American political partys Presidential candidate has proposed that laws and regulations be established solely on the basis of a persons religion and ethnic background. The legitimization of this as a basis of serious political discussion is a terrible step into darkness. Remember, what goes around comes around. If today its them, then tomorrow it may be you.
Finally, my nephew and I must both reflect long and hard on one awful truth. If in the early 20th century the USA had built a wall against poor desperate ignorant immigrants of a different religion, like the Glossers, all of us would have gone up the crematoria chimneys with the other six million kinsmen whom we can never know."

(1,642 posts)I was born a jew. I have no love of my or any other religion.
I've been an atheist since I developed cognition. (It was so obvious to me as a 5-year old, watching others bicker over religious differences, that none of them were right about anything. All Gods are false Gods.)
But, I never hated anyone for their beliefs. Quite the opposite. I respect anyone who sincerely practices what s/he preaches.
But, Miller does hate people. This is because deep-down inside, he has loathed himself since childhood.
Why? Maybe he was oppressed as a jew when he was young by his peers. (I know I was.)
Or, maybe, somebody took away his toy truck when he was a kid, and he never got over it.
Often, when one hates outwardly, it is masking the inner depression.
