In most ways, however, it is just terrifying how society absorbs it with so little reaction.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-85765299152131367732015-11-25T20:59:31.526-07:002015-11-25T20:59:31.526-07:00Whenever people get you down, make some stupid no...Whenever people get you down, make some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA8Uav7EPlQ" rel="nofollow"> stupid noises. </a>Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-89910404920445737942015-11-25T10:58:13.689-07:002015-11-25T10:58:13.689-07:00I keep thinking I'll wake up and it's goin...I keep thinking I'll wake up and it's going to be a bad dream..but every morning that crazy bastard is out there spreading lies and fear.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-5802826314545423452015-11-25T10:49:55.155-07:002015-11-25T10:49:55.155-07:00Thank you for saying aloud here what has been dinn...Thank you for saying aloud here what has been dinner time conversation here for a good while.

What has victimized them are economic and trade policies that have drained the country of decent paying jobs, the decline of organized labor, and a lot of sleight-of-hand political jibber-jabber that continues to this day. It's just easier to get people to blame each other. And that's what's coming to a head in the country now."</i><br /><br />http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a39987/america-race-powderkeg/FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-6614471835032287462015-11-24T15:49:42.697-07:002015-11-24T15:49:42.697-07:00What really pisses me off is that I, too, used to ...What really pisses me off is that I, too, used to be a Republican - largely because my father was. The rise of Reagan worried me and by the time the Newtster and Limbaugh and the other radio shouters and Teatards came along I was done. You can't base a political party on "government is the problem" and end up with a government that works. What you get is...well, what's turning out for these damn Trump rallies; the American equivalents of the <i>fascisti</i>, the 20th Century Know-Nothings.<br /><br />You CAN run a country on that...but it pretty much sucks unless you're one of the groups the Know-Nothings like. And you're OK with the toxic collusion of corporate and state power which is the fundamental basis of a fascist government.<br /><br />I get that the Trumpistas are unhappy and unsettled. What I DON'T get is why they think that Trump - who is a walking, talking, toupee'd product of the toxic corporatism that has produced the economy that is bending them over - will solve their problems instead of, as the original <i>Duce</i> did, march their dumb asses into domestic serfdom and foreign trouble.<br /><br />Goddamn it, I want the GOP back, the GOP that wanted to actually govern. Yes, I disagreed with a lot of their ideas even then. But at least they HAD ideas. This crowd, the one that Trump speaks for, just wants their childish playthings and is prepared to trash the playroom if they can't get exactly what they want.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-34891167576712143972015-11-24T15:19:33.092-07:002015-11-24T15:19:33.092-07:00Well Chief, as a registered (R) I have to agree wi...Well Chief, as a registered (R) I have to agree with you. The whole Trump experience sort of reminds me of the scene in Bull Durham where Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) tell the pitcher to hit the mascot, and he does, and when the next batter steps inside the chalk box Davis says, "I wouldn't dig in to deep there, I have no idea where the next one is going." And the last time I got to use than analogy is when Bush was going to nominate Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court. BigFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442240891955984577noreply@blogger.com
