AN ELEVATED MIND DISDAINS THE SOCIETY OF PROFLIGATE MEN
We could help them out, but their delusions need first to be smashed.
I found the Noah Webster quote to be relevant in our era, among the Trump MAGA people, the true believers, and those who play along with all the dysfunctional insanity out of fear or just to be part of the crowd. So I’ve heard that 39% of Republicans are all for Trump returning as a dictator. Clearly they don’t perceive the same world and nation as I do. To think that someone should take full control of their lives, it’s bewildering to contemplate. Regardless of why these people are like they are, Fox ‘News’ brainwashed or believing the rhetoric from Trump, it doesn’t really matter. Most likely they are lost and will remain so regardless of factors.
I wrote again today of all this, most likely for the umpteeth time. But it has to be retold, to normalize our predicament is much too risky.
What is on the right side of the aisle these days and which has been ongoing for years now. We have a political party which has only a limited number of issues that resonate with the 2024 population. And within this party of non-problem solvers are the worst of politicians. The idea of an honest Republican statesman type is mostly only reserved from the past. They balance upon a tightrope of always pleasing their large donors while trying to manipulate the common people significantly enough to vote against their own self-interests. They are forever fantasizing about power, for power’s sake. One can only categorize these politicians as manipulators of words, people who have never seen a problem they didn’t wish to ignore or to enlarge if possible, if it might be used as a political cudgel. It all is all very superficial dance which they practice, one of useful games of deceit. They are finding their numbers dying off, young people largely reject their propaganda, the opposition is increasing by the day. They are paid heavily to ignore global climate change, and work diligently to try and cripple any solutions to it. These people are by and large habitually discontent as they see their worldview has truck sized holes in it, and the possibility of lasting power is evaporating. Their tax cuts for the rich now must be forced through if enough power can be gained. The ideas which Reagan sold us only work to enrich the already wealthy among us. They see a forty year scam not really being accepted as it once was. They are discontented.
“There is no malady more severe than habitual discontent.”
