Cannot figure it out. My opinion changes everyday with the most current madness. The man is demented. That is clear. The man is an ethics and moral vacuum that sucks too many others into his black hole of ruthlessness and insanity. Nuts. Crazy. Lunatic. Off the wall. And yet, and yet, there is within his madness a sly and cunning germ of defined and definite steps to enrage others to the point of no return and force the changes through that he wants so badly. Can one mix such two opposites together? Can one be both living in madness, yet remain cunning in political moves?
Sadly enough, one can and history is rife with examples of such dichotomies. However, what makes this one different is that this madman controls power strong enough to destroy the world. Literally and figuratively. That is something that needs to be changed. He needs to be removed from any such position and frankly needs to be either imprisoned and or locked in a hospital for the criminally insane. Oh, hell, may as well include the damages of involuntary manslaughter as he is complicit in the deaths of so many due to his criminally negligent policy and attitudes towards and with the pandemic.
Cohen, not exactly a shining example of a model citizen, called it right. It takes one to know one, does it not? "...to gain power for myself, the fatal flaw that led to my ruination, was a Faustian bargain: I would do anything to accumulate, wield, maintain, exert, exploit power. In this way, Donald Trump and I were the most alike … soulmates.” This simply confirms what I have maintained all along. Trump and coterie are in it for the power, for the money that gives them power, for the maintenance of their status quo, the one that benefits them and theirs to the detriment of all others. It is the haves vs the have nots, the ins vs the outs, the greatest divide in society since the cruelty of serfdom and slavery, wherein a person's fate was determined by birth with practically no chance for, shall we say, upgrading.
There is a ballsiness about his daring to state, openly, that he will not approve a bill to aid people to survive this pandemic and the economic crisis he has himself exacerbated, because it will contain desperately needed funds for the post office to be able to handle the onslaught of mail-in ballots. This is openly tampering with the election, open tampering with possible results, having it both ways -claiming fraud if he loses and victory if the ballots are blocked. Nasty - insane, yet deviously clever. The political astuteness of a lunatic, right up there with the madmen of history, with the likes of Hitler and Stalin.
The lies, the contradictions, the deflection of his vices onto others, such as claiming the Democratic ticket is "anti scientific" - well, that one chokes me, or the nastiness of his own character onto a "nasty mad woman" - a woman with more decency, more honesty, more brain power, more anything positive that he has ever had or aspired to.
The lowest point he has now chosen to descend into is once again, a 'birther' controversy, knowing that if he states it, then denies it, it will still hang out there, as ignorant, illegitimate, and ruinous as it was with Obama, but clearly, it is part and parcel of his plans. Thus, "Trump said he “heard" the California senator doesn't meet the requirements, adding, “I have no if idea that’s right.” and thinks he can get away with it with his oh so solemn statement that it needs consideration, such a serious statement! Truly, he is the sum total of the descriptive terms - "a con man, a predator, a racist, a bully and a liar" - from his old buddy, Cohen.
The absolute gall. The absolute concern that we should all have as this man openly tampers and set up constitutional issues, existential issues, and yes, we should all be worried half to death. This man, who claims Biden wants to run things with a slash of his pen, this man who does exactly that with his masses of Executive Orders that are destroying this nation in more ways than can be counted, this man can be the final impetus of the crashing of our government, of our demise as a democracy and a replacement government of and by dictators.
I truly do not want to be able to say, "told you so". But if we do not insure the viability of a true and open election process, a funding of the post office, an allowance of time for mailing out and mailing back, then we will not be assured of that and instead - we will get what we earned, what we allowed.
People, I am choking on this possibility. It keeps me up at night. It eats at me during the day. It destroys my hopes and dreams for the future of my family and yours. Get out there and show your opposition to his cunning insanity. Get out there and VOTE. Get your ballots in early. Bring them to the offices if you can. Send by overnight. With Fedex, UPS, whatever works. But VOTE. There is much resting on every. single. vote.
