...that leads to where exactly? One does not hear the tones of the Beatles for this song. Rather we hear the crack of the continent, a splitting of a massive piece of land once known as the United States of America. United no longer.
How can we possibly overcome the issues facing us, the huge, ever growing cracks of dissonance, of unhappiness, of lies that wrap around people like burquas, blinding them to the truth. They put these burquas of the soul on willingly, the direct opposite of the women of Afghanistan, forced, once again into a prison that is their world. Why do these people do this?
Why do they support a man who hates them, feels only contempt for them? A man who throws former supporters who trashed their own reputations in their servile support of that man who would destroy this country. A man who envisions himself as Leader for Life, followed by his just as crooked, morally destitute sons. And there ain't much to write home about his daughters or his son in law.
Graham, McConnell, Giuliani, and the list is endless. The wheels on that bus do indeed keep going round and round. And yet there they still remain, promising to block a Supreme Court Justice, promising to force this country to default, all because their god gave tax cuts to the uber wealthy as the economy collapsed. Great thinking, right? Even as his bewitched followers shouted his name as did the the crowds for Caesar! Fools they were and fools they be now.
Worst of all is the nastiness he injected into politics here in America. Always there was smut but he raised it to a level such as had not been seen before. He brought the cult personality into the political ring, the filth of constant lie upon lies, all the while embarrassing us before the world, an incompetent just about illiterate mentally deranged man who embraced fascism for the USA and raised the depth of racial and class hatred to unbelievable and sanctioned levels.
Suddenly we found our own homegrown fascists crawling out of the woodwork. Goetz, Cruz, Gosar, Greene, Boebert, Graham, McCarthy, Abbott and on and on. Fascists who have turned their backs on the people, on democracy and are alleged co - conspirators, cheering on the Jan 6 attempt to pull a coup on this government of ours. Trump keeps trumpeting his own lies that instigated that attempt, perhaps planned it all down to the last drop and, as usual, failed, as he did in all things. Thank G-d.
Our long and winding road has turned into a danger for all of us. It has developed crumbling cliffs and flooding waters. There are no stops along the way, no time to regroup. Long and winding has turned into short and upon us. The time has come to pay attention to our present conditions and act, do something, chase away those who would bear us harm. Now.
There will not be a blog for Wednesday due to holiday but will be back on Thursday. Please browse through entries you might have missed or wish to read up on again.
