The character is Cole Sear, “I see dead people”. The character Dr Malcom Crowe, “Okay”. Cole Sear, “Come closer, I see dead people. They don’t know they’re dead.”Dr Malcom Crowe, “Where are they?” Cole Sear, “Everywhere.”(The Sixth Sense)
The character is Donald Trump, “Do you see any Russians?” The character, The Trump supporters of West Virginia, “No”. Trump sees dead people, and the dead people of West Virginia suffering from Black Lung Disease, one of the largest groups of people living in poverty and in need of the SNAP food program…the ones who believe FOX News Scientists that there is something called Clean Coal…the people living in a state where their fresh water streams and rivers, will now find the pollution from the coal mines flowing freely, the folks who chop off the tops of mountains as if mountain will grow back like weeds…the people whose Governor decided that he owed too much money to Russian bankers so by flipping from Democrat to Republican, his debt might be lessened by Comrade Trump…Trumps was in West Virginia and he not only saw dead people, he spoke to them. And just like in the movie the Sixth Sense, none of his bigoted, racist, homophobic , misogynistic lemming like followers have an inkling they are dead and as soon as Trump leaves that state forgotten.
I speak for myself, but have to wonder, when does a person understand that their hopes, prayers, promises, died. When does hatred become so convincing that truth no longer matters? The people of West Virginia the die hard supporters of a liar, a con artist, a Communist, when will they realize just how dead their dreams have become, and just how much more dying Trump has in store for them.
