IDK = ANY TAKERS HERE?

  If you are like me, these increasing capital letter acronyms are doubling down as they leave me behind in a new world of esoteric abbreviations and    definitions. As for proper punctuation, grammar and spelling, well, humph, 'cause it all just went flying out the window. It  seems as soon as I learn to translate one term, another pops up and there I am again, scratching my head in confusion.

So this morning I ran across a new one, for me, anyway, but perhaps it has been around for a long time. Who the hell knows anymore, what with the lexicon changing not every day, but almost on an hourly basis. Surprise, surprise! I was able to break the code, defeat the encryption, and how relevant this one is. For everyone. In these times, that to borrow famous words, "try men's souls" and that includes the souls of women as well.

IDK. I. Don't. Know. Aha! Pure genius. The best acronym of the day. That is, if more people would be honest and use it truthfully, with full impact of truth and honesty. Would be, but is not, for most people today have chosen one of two paths. One path is to give up, ignore the daily events of lo, these many a year, (six, at least), and live on in their blissful world of ignorance. I envy them that bliss. The other path is to choose a world where to admit IDK or deny IDK is to choose a side, a self defeating choice, for when made, one apparently becomes deaf to the other side of IDK.

I don't know. So what. Keep your mouth shut, for today many claim to know everything. Just ask them. The arrogance involved, the stiffness and unwillingness to compromise, to hear positive in the words of another, well, IDK. Just to where and to what has this path led us? IDK. And that should be your answer as well.

IDK why so many people are refusing to take the vaccine and save their own lives along with the lives of others.

For that matter, IDK how so any of them continue to maintain the pandemic is a hoax, surfacing to the truth too late as they die in ICUs, alone, breathing, barely, through a tube. I just DK.

IDK why Trump and his coterie of dangerous clowns are not shut down already. Why do people continue to listen to the poisonous words and ideas they put forth as gospel truth from the New Testament of Donald Trump; you know, the one he tried to introduce as he came down that "golden" escalator, to be met by the paid claque. That time.

IDK why the suppression of voter rights has become the mantra of a political party that grew, a lot, due to its belief in certain universal rights and definition of man, of people. IDK where and why they went wrong other than the possibility that they are so enamored of power, that all else is discarded, abandoned by the wayside. IDK.  

IDK why the vampire shows have become so popular other than it gives humanity an opportunity to rebuild society! IDK, but I approve of this trend.

IDK why and wherefore hatred of others has grown exponentially, why people are emboldened today to spout their filth and paste it wherever they can find room? Why do so many follow that hatred towards fascism, dictatorship, oppression, and death. Why, for heaven's sake, has the Holocaust become a target for snarky humor? Each and every one of that huge number, 6 million plus, and the additional 5 million enemies of Hitler and Nazism, was just that - an individual. With a story all their own. With a life all their own. With a family all their own. With hopes and dreams all their own. How can one find humor in that gross tragedy? IJDK. IJDK.

IDK how the hell DeSantis has become a favorite candidate for the next presidential election all the while he has encouraged anti-mask, anti-vax idiots, all the better to trim the population. But those dying are his supporters! All the while Florida is one of the worst hot spots in the nation today. IDK.

 IDK how and why this mass delusion and twisting of the truth. Biden stated it well the other day. "I don't care if you think I'm Satan reincarnated, the fact is you can't look at that television and say nothing happened on the 6th" of January "You can't listen to people who say this was a peaceful march."  

Imagine - telling it like it is. Espousing the truth. Wow! What a novel idea.  IJDK. 

 I am puzzled, but have apparently made my own new acronym. Wonder if it will catch on fire and romp through the ranks of the acronym mavens. IJDK. IJDK. Does anyone, these days?                                  IDK. IJDK.  DA?

(Does Anyone?)
