I want to take a moment to talk about logic and facts. Because the president and his defenders have tried to confuse and muddy the waters. So we’re going to help you out: pic.twitter.com/9Sda2qEb0y

For The Stupid, This Is Just Another Attack On Their Idol
For the rest of us, the following is not only a summation of Trump's duplicity over his efforts to extort the Ukrainians for personal political advantage, but also an indictment of his spineless defenders and the willingness of his slavish devotees to entirely suspend disbelief:

The Trumpers are convinced that we the people are stupid, Lorne. Perhaps they're right.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be counting on it, Owen.
Delete.. this is the new era.. I used a term several days ago on another Indy Blog .. 'the bewilderness'. Of course, its nonsensible, yet its actually quite defendable. Its the place where certain people have migrated to, mutated into. Its neither Left, Right or Center, ethically, politically or intelligently. Its the land of the glib and the home of the conniving. Think of it in terms of Lord of the Flies, or Animal Farm.. Alice in Underland from Through The Looking Glass. The freaky part is that the inhabitants of this bizzaro sub-region are physically in our world, but the bewilderness in found only in their headspace.. their concious thought. So yes, one could also see it as a continuous distortion, a mental illness. An astonishing cognitive disability
ReplyDeleteI believe Trump is at his fundamental core - dyslexic.. with Attention Deficit Disorder. So right there is a really big problem But he also manifests all sorts of comorbid aspects.. many other disorders compounding onto those, such as extreme narcissism, omnipotence & he's sociopathic. In short, easily seen as a screwball.. but he's darker, more dangerous than just that
Fact does not interest him, conspiracy does. He's addicted to his own voice, his own tweets, his own everything.. Fighting the underlying strong reality that he holds zero attraction to attractive women, and so the 'not his type' are the undeserving.. far beneath his exalted status.
So look for those who see him as useful.. even sacrificial.
If American decency, democracy is holed up in a fort like Fort Sumpter, or Fort McHerry and the last of the grain, fresh water, gold in America stockpiled.. think of Trump as the horizontal battering ram used by ignorant soldiers of the shared bewilderness to batter at the gates.. by such as Mitch McConnell, Leslie Graham, Steve Bannon, Sean Hannity et al who muster the troops.. but watch from comfortable seats on a nearby hillside of the bewilderness. No 'dawns early light' for them, no unmarked graves. Notwithstanding any grunts, idiocy or atrocious shouting from Trump.. they will use him as the tool he is.. just as Russia and China see him as the fool to use
I am reminded of the closing lines of Matthew Arnold's Dover Beach, Sal:
Delete"And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night."
America the beautiful, no more.
