Today is a general inquisitive look at the Republican US House majority. One can only imagine what goes on when this group is gathered. One has to wonder what type of dialogue happens when this assortment of politicians meet behind close doors. Do the various conspiracy theories seen on social media gain traction within the confines of the nation’s capital? Just what do these various personalities do among themselves? One doesn’t really know perhaps, and in the end it might not matter, but nevertheless I am curious. I’m inferring that a certain level of delusion haunts many of these folks, most of it acquired over the years primarily from right wing media propaganda outlets. This in turn weakens this body in any possibility for being effective to their constituents. Although it is well established that this group’s priority are too the wealthy, perhaps they are hamstrung enough by false beliefs to not even cater to this group effectively.
Here is my verse for today:
What would a word search on “delusions” bring up on X? I found the use of the word more common for other countries than in America. This was somewhat surprising to me. And specifically it was used primary in regards to Donald Trump, which is unsurprising to me. It is not used in context of the Republican Party, as implied by my verse. Here is the word search:
It seems that any descriptions of the house Republicans are put forth. This morning a heard a congressman describe them as factions of gang members fighting among themselves for dominance. I also heard the analysis of them as only an authoritarian movement who are demonstrating the common traits of such a movement.One can only wonder what will come next? Will there actually be reprisals of murder among the ranks? This is of course a credible possibility in my mind. Lines continue to be crossed in this story, with little indication of ending any time soon. And I contend that delusion is playing a large role in this mess. And we can’t expect it to end on its own. It is frightening to grasp the reality of it all. Thanks for reading.
