We certainly have hit this one out of the park. We have, by corrupt system, elected a leader who knows nothing about how the Presidency works. We are in, or the ball at least is in uncharted territory. There are those cheering for letting ignorance and stupidity run their course and those who have elected to stand up and say openly, "This is not what our nation stands for!" In any case, we now have to choose. are we going to be content with just writing the whole two hundred years off as a learning experience, or if we are going to salvage all or part of what our ancestors fought and slaved to create.When the crack of the bat was heard, about a year ago, those who had been paying attention knew that the right palms had been greased, the right alliances formed to take our current President over the top, but that truth was too scary even for the prognosticators to admit.
A rank amateur at least loves their discipline. This guy hates the whole bloody system. His ideas and inspirations are the only ones that matter, just ask him! Pay no attention to the thousands of journalists who keep pointing out his law breaking, misogynistic tendencies, his fallacious net worth, his ties to foreign mafiosi, the fallacies upon which his truth has been built. The common man feels affinity for the wretch because they too are out of touch, but still cling to the belief that they have the bull by the horns and are capable of wrestling it into submission. Too bad reality bats last and her name is Mother Nature.
Case in point, the recent massive outburst of tornadoes that swept across the South. The destruction left behind is as yet untold. The President has not said a word nor has he shown any interest in helping the displaced, the homeless or the states that are left to pick up the pieces and put their lives back together again. Natural disasters are to be expected with more force and greater frequency as we destabilize climate further. Not so much as one word about that in the news.
The tenuous grasp of "reality" that is being exhibited both in Congress and the Executive Branch of our government are woefully devoid of any sort of awareness whatsoever. No knowledge or learning can ever take place if you already know all there is to know and the oligarchs who rule the day are sure to reinforce your beliefs if it benefits them. Those charged with representing us know long before they get elected that they are beholden to the millionaires and billionaires who support campaigns. You and I just need to get used to experiencing taxation without representation because our ideas will never be able to amass billion dollar fortunes. Our punishment for our poverty is to not be allowed to enter the discussion. If we do we are easily branded naive, hotheads or rabble. After all, our suits are...oh, wait, we don't wear suits? Don't even trifle with us!
When our ancestors had to endure taxation without representation, they fought the War of Independence, it seems that now, we are being asked to live in the same state without being offended. This one is perhaps not the game winning run, but at least the majority is standing up to see how far it goes.
