Rest in Peace America
Before I begin, I wish to convey my sorrow and sadness and say wholeheartedly and in truth, Rest in Peace America.
I’ve been a bit quiet on the opinion front of late because like so many people I am amazed, gobsmacked, call it what you will at the goings on in the U S of A. So once again please accept my condolences and Rest in Peace America. (Although, I suspect ‘Peace’ is one thing that will be sadly lacking over the next few years).
Like so many I have come to the conclusion that the America that held a particular and peculiar fascination in almost every area of modern life, is no more. Orchestrated by traitors it has fallen to a fascist attack from within.
It doesn’t take much brain power to realise that there is a fascist coup happening. And their brain-dead president is allowing it to happen.
For all their songs that they sing with their hands firmly placed on their barely beating hearts, their much-hyped ‘free’ system is collapsing in a heap around their feet…and as far as I can see nobody is doing anything about it.
The rule of law is being ignored and the Mussolini-like Trump digs in even deeper, which is easy as he surrounds himself with paid for quislings and traitors.
America is going full pelt into the realm of designer uniforms, armbands (and woe betide anyone who is different), concentration camps.
For a land that fantasises in their literature and in their films about Heroes suddenly appearing to save the day, all is alarmingly quiet. There is no-one on the horizon at the moment.
The average American (I wanted to say ‘normal’ but that would be stretching the truth) is swallowed whole. She or He follows the money (literally) and will bow down to anyone who, through fair means or foul, has made a fortune.
In a nod to ‘The American dream’ the gullible fools truly believe that they too will one day become as rich as Elon Musk or even, God forbid, Trump. It’s just a matter of time and if they follow like sheep, the riches will follow.
Of course, nothing good will come of this. There will be blood.
Those that do protest (or simply disagree) are at the moment losing their livelihoods but soon, very soon that will not be enough.
Once the courts and the justice system collapses, there will be mandatory imprisonment and soon, in this Trumpian dictatorship even more severe punishment for not bowing the knee will follow.
The time is now for all good people to rise.
Unfortunately, the Stratfordian believes that intellect and courage is sadly lacking in the USA. Because of enormous gaps in the systems that allow people to think for themselves, the ability to take one’s mind off the price of eggs and gas is sadly and disastrously lacking.
Rest in Peace America.
A self-inflicted wound
Just wanted to say that I have no pity for the hordes of strange Americans who have administered what can only be described as a self-inflicted wound by voting the idiot Trump to the highest office in the land. It’s the rest of us I worry about.
In some ways it’s understandable that they voted in the way they did as this is a man/monster who speaks the same ‘language’ as his followers do, i.e. no language or, gobbledegook.
He rambles incoherently just as they do and like them cannot string two words together to make a sentence. He thinks in black and white (as they do) and behaves as though life is a Hollywood movie, with him as the ‘hero’ sent to clean up Dodge.
In short, Trump has made it very simple for those that follow him and have put him in the White House. No deep thought. No brain needed.
However.
If there are those that believe that Trump has constructed an incredibly successful plot around himself designed to take control, I would have to say I disagree. Far from it. If there is a conspiracy, then the Trumpster himself is caught up in it and has no idea what is going on. (I believe the Americans would call him a Patsy).
Someone, somewhere is I believe and to put it crudely, pulling the strings. And for the moment, have got what they wanted (4 years). The Presidency is theirs.
They will whisper into Trump’s ear, dripping poison as they go and Trump will have no idea what is happening, convinced that every idea is his and his alone.
Taking advantage of Trump’s monstrous ego and narcissism, they will lead the Chief Idiot like a dog on a chain, always believing that ‘he is the man’, when in fact he is the dummy.
But, as they say, it is no good crying over spilt milk.
One can only hope that the idiot prince begins asap to eat himself.
One can only hope that the fools that surround him and bow shamelessly to his every whim make their mistakes early. That within a year or two the uneducated masses who put this dangerous jester/glove puppet in charge will realise that they have made a horrendous mistake.
Unfortunately, that will only happen when the simple things that they have a grasp on and understand, like food and gas prices, rise.
Meanwhile, there is Trump’s presence on the world stage to worry about. A world stage that his supporters like him, don’t understand but worse than that, couldn’t care less about.
Don’t give up.
