Greetings good citizen, sometimes to better understand where we are it helps to look at where we've been...problem with that strategy is most of us don't remember.
IF you had the brains of a mosquito you would evacuate your bowels every time somebody said the word 'Republican' so it's probably for the best that most Republicans are forgetful morons. [Good thing you're an 'Independent' that just happens to vote Republican, eh?]
You don't suppose the paint stripper they put in the decaf stripped our brains while it was passing through, do you? Nope, we've always been short attention span theater when it comes to things like 'tribal memory' and who screwed the pooch then blamed it on the other guy.
Well, let's take a walk down memory lane and check out some of our 'formative moments'...starting with the 90's and telling anyone that remembers that the Seventies were NOTHING like the TV show. [It marks the most glaring example of 'manipulated perception' for us to reflect upon.]
It also is part in parcel with conservative dogma, remembering times that NEVER EXISTED, then 'pining' for them.
Back in the Seventies things like MegaTrends preached to gospel of the 'Flat Earth' and the Global Race to the BOTTOM [aptly mis-named as the 'Search for Excellence'.]
It introduced EST [assertiveness training, which set back personal relationships 500 years, to the point where they still haven't recovered.] You still can't trust anybody because we're all so 'into ourselves!'
But perhaps the most profound work to come out of the wayback machine is the book, "Everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten!"
Which basically succeeded in justifying everyone behaving like a five year old for the rest of their lives!
The unanswered question begged by this media hyped brain fart is Where did you go to kindergarten, Hell?
Yeah, that sparked an entire movement dedicated to getting in touch with your inner child...and look, we have someone who is still eagerly searching for their inner child occupying the White House!
Problem with mental off-ramps is they usually only go one way. If you get lost on your journey of personal discovery, you're on your own...
Not to worry good citizen, I won't abandon you to your own devices (like conservative doctrine so often does.)
Conservatism is all about YOU, Liberalism is all about US.
You are NOT alone in the world so you must learn to share and respect the rights of others.
Probably a good time to find your mental mirror and assess just how good a 'teammate' you've been to your fellow travelers. Have you helped them cope and shared your wisdom with those who needed a boost? [Or did you browbeat and upbraid those that didn't do what you would have done? Not that you would have done it but for appearances sakes, ya know?]
If the world seems off kilter it is probably because the adults are asking their five year old selves what they would do in a situation no five year old would ever find themselves in...[without a pedophile present, never say never!]
Just because the media says Trump's base still supports him doesn't make it true or perhaps we should make the obvious correction here and point at the 'PEOPLE THAT PUT HIM IN OFFICE' still, er, 'support' him (mostly because he's sticking to the *script.)
He seems a bit 'conflicted' but that's because he doesn't have a choice. He's the dupe wearing the explosive vest he can't take off.
Worse, it's not IF they are going to set it off but when that has left him sleepless, gaunt and caked in make-up.
Pay attention eh?
Thanks once again for letting me inside your mind,

* What 'script' would that be? Why the 2nd coming script, of course! Didn't I make it clear yesterday that civilization is being driven off a cliff by the superstitious peasants among us?
Lenin had it right, religion is the opiate of the masses.
