I am back. I had to take a break after the November calamity. I have struggled and battled with myself, until I am blue in the face, trying to understand how this happened. I, of course, understood all along that the MAGA host of idiots would vote for him regardless of all his obvious shortcomings and rotten propensities. If brains were dynamite, they couldn't blow their noses off. There have been countless articles written trying to understand this mis-placed, yet fierce, loyalty. And, yet, it's not something new that we've never seen before.
In fact, it's as old as civilization itself, the most glaring and disasterous example is that of Hitler and the Third Reich. I once interviewed an elderly man who had been a Luftwaffe fighter pilot and survived the war. He told me that 70% of Germans were '...go alongs to get alongs', that another 15% resisted, even if on a very subdued level, and the remaining 15% were rabid Nazis....the MAGA of their time, who would end up following Der Fuhrer into the flames of the Gotterdamerung, i.e. the Twilight of the Gods. After only 12 years, the 'Thousand Year Reich' was nothing but a pile of rubble and Germans were starving, many of them even raped to death.
So....here we are, with a re-run of a leader who aspires to mimic dictators, especially Putin, Xi, Orban and any others wbo have managed to gain a strangle-hold on their people. The Idiot loves the idea that Putin's resisters, rivals--if you can even call them that--are flying out of eleventh story windows, having the wings come off their airplanes in mid-flight, dropping dead with a nerve agent in their bloodstream, etc. etc. Nobody who has been listening and reading about what he intends to do as soon as his hand is off that Bible....which should burst into flames when he touches it...should be surprised. Time and again, people have written that we should believe him when he says what his plans are. And, despite his slimy denial that he knew 'nothing' about Plan 2025, we found out that not only was he in on the idea of it, but that he was intimately involved in shaping it.

| Oh, he's got plans for you..... |
If you somehow missed it: Plan 2025 is a 900 page plan to destroy our democracy and push the country toward becoming a white autocracy.....for many it should be a 'CHRISTIAN' white dominated society where people of color, LBGTQ+, Muslims, Jews, and anybodyy who isn't ready to prostrate themselves before the Throne of the Oligarchs......are on the outs. I.e., they will remain subjugated to the white masters of society.
As you're reading this, you may be wondering if it is an exaggeration. I can tell you that it is--if anything--UNDERSTATED.
And, now we have the richest man on the planet--who it turns out is as much of an asshole as his Orange bossom-buddy. Musk is a man who figured out how to manipulate the money machine and scoop up billions and billions of bucks. His current net-worth is estimated at around 450 billion. It's truly mind-boggling, eh. But, the bad news is that he doesn't have the conscience or conscienousness, to accomplish anything but further plundering of the world around him. He's as nuts as the Idiot, he is just a whole lot smarter, read 'more wiley'. The idiot only THINKS he's the smartest asshole on the planet..which is just another one of the lies he tells himself and us. When he finds out that Musk is riding him like a rented mule....it's going to get wild.
So....what, if anything, are we to do in the face of this rapidly unfolding diaster? Well, I can tell you that the ONE THING we should not and cannot do is to become passive. "What can I do? I'm just one person among so many millons. But, here's something for you to consider: if you just give up and become a passive non-member of this society.............you will be exactly like the 70% of Germans who just wanted it to all go away, who wanted to hunker down and pretend it wasn't happening. And, only a few years later, there they were, sitting on a pile of bricks that used to be their home. True.
This is a time for getting busy doing everything and anything one can do to connect with fellow Americans who also see the danger in front of us. Join the ACLU, or any local group that is determined to kick up a fuss over the seriously painful plans and actions that these anti-democratic bastards want to inflict on the rest of us.
Just DO IT!!!!
