Greetings good citizen, it's still weeks before the President elect is inaugurated and you KNOW a goodly percentage of his supporters are watching this transition process with eagle eyes, hoping against hope that they haven't made a terrible mistake!
Given the current state of 'politics' in this nation people are right to worry...or fear, both are warranted. Gone are the days of my youth when politics boiled down to a case of 'disagreeing' over fiscal policy.
Nobody questioned anybody's 'patriotism' or whether or not they were a 'good American'...which has a disturbing implication because we all know what politicians thought made for a 'good' Native American...
Lost on no one [I hope] is the trepidation we all fear of suddenly finding ourselves on the 'wrong side' of the 'political divide'.
How much of what we're witnessing is 'going along to get along?'
Truth be told good citizen, for all our proclamations of being 'independent individuals' we are herd/tribal animals first.
This is an aspect of human behavior that is commonly overlooked by the average human. [Ahem...I'm looking at YOU, Slim!]
Ever wonder why 'people' vote against their own best interests?
The answer lies in not wanting to be the 'odd man out'. How 'individualistic' of you...not mention, er, brave or fearless.
Truth be told, [remember 'truth' is one of the three things people HATE, along with cameras and mirrors] a certain vocal percentage of people are sniveling cowards. They have yet to come to terms with 'death: personal' and live their lives avoiding the 'inevitable' as vigorously as they can.
Actors can be 'brave', they know a 'death scene' isn't real.
To their credit, some of those impending doom scenes are about as real as it gets. It's less difficult than you imagine to put yourself in 'mental mortal peril'...in fact some of us do it all the time.
But this isn't [solely] about emotions or our legendary lack of control over them.
This is about a palace coup almost forty years in the rearview mirror and what the result of it has been.
Doubt anyone is 'surprised' that The Donald is, er, 'dialing back' some of his 'campaign rhetoric', we all knew being POTUS was just a metaphor for 'puppet on a string'. He does what he's told or the 'puppet masters' simply get rid of him and move on to the next one in line. One now guaranteed to be a 'more obedient' servant than the one who died of 'lead poisoning'.
Left to our imaginations is not 'if' Mike Pence will take over but 'when'?
Total speculation at this point but the man does have a habit of putting his foot in is mouth...regularly.
While the 'bandwagon' crowd [theory has it this group is still not as large as the media would have you believe it is] isn't up in arms over it's candidate backing away from some of his more flammable campaign promises.
When do you think we'll hear the first cries of 'where's the Great America you promised me?'
Now probably isn't a good time to mention that NOBODY ASKED what this cypher actually meant?
Was 'Great America' here all along? Will his supporters chuckle and exclaim 'aw shucks' over their own foolish assumptions that 'Murika could get any greater?
Or will they be worried that an uprising might interrupt their SSI pensions?
Never too far/far enough away from the 'world of I' are we good citizen?
Is there any irony in the fact we'd be making much better 'progress' if we were all fighting for the same thing?
How sad is it that most people simply want to be 'left alone'. Don't bother them with ANY 'pie in the sky' better tomorrow, just don't f-up their TODAY no matter how lousy it may be.
The 'sniveling cowards' our oligarchs despise don't want a 'brighter tomorrow, all they want is to be left alone...
So where does that leave us?
Same place it leaves the oligarchs, with the one most successful in 'applying pressure' winning!
Oligarchs have an 'edge' [they control the 'money hammer'] but we still have 'strength in numbers'.
Again, statistically speaking, sniveling cowards are just 25% of the population, the greatest obstacle we face is 'cluelessness'.
Too many of the young have no idea what's going on! [and it's a real bitch trying to explain it to them cuz they don't care!
Brings us full circle with 'neck deep in stupid' syndrome but we can break down this 'I don't care' barrier with the right 'tactics'.
The 'boys' may not care but the girls sure do! Advantage, Rebels!
Naturally, the answer to today's rhetorical question is 'where?' and no, not even close but it won't be long [now that the shit is ready to hit the fan!
Thanks for letting me inside YOUR head!
