Significant escalation in the election process: the people
shutting down Donald Trump’s rally in downtown Chicago. We honor the courageous
demonstrators. Yes, we understand that this was a setup, that Trump thinks it’s
in his interest to foment chaos and argue we need a strong man to whip the
country in shape. But the history of the world consists of unintended
consequences. I think that might be a corollary of the uncertainty principle.
The capacity of human beings to imagine a vision and successfully fulfill it is
not high. Something bad usually happens on the road to utopia. But presumably,
we’re getting smarter. Maybe we can figure this shit out.
This is a dangerous thing to say, but I’m an old man with
nothing to lose so I don’t care. Those Trump supporters? We outnumber them big
time. But the number of firearms in their possession outnumber us. This is why
I’m not a proponent of gun control. Sometimes you have to fight. Mandela’s
revolution was not nonviolent. The defeat of Hitler was not nonviolent.
Whatever made us think that the concept of Hitler wouldn’t return?
After all, Hitler was wildly successful. Sure, he lost in the end, but didn’t
he have a ride! And, look at Germany today. Hitler seems to have established a
pretty good negotiating position.
Hitler didn’t come that far from achieving world domination.
He lit the way. We just have to do what he did but avoid the mistakes, like don’t
depend on astrologers. To save capitalism, which totters on the brink of
collapse, a little discipline might be called for. Don’t be surprised if Trump
uses Chicago to develop his own armed security force (Brown Shirts) to protect
his rallies going forward. His own little army. Convince me I’m just being paranoid,
please!
Unfortunately, our overuse of the Hitler comparison (Nixon,
Reagan, Kissinger, etc.) has blunted the epithet, we cried wolf too much so
that when the real thing comes along, the word rings hollow. (The right did the
same thing with socialism, calling Obama a socialist so many times that the
word has no more sting and Bernie can claim it proudly).
A better specter to conjure might be the race war that the
white supremacists have been advocating for some time. Trump is fomenting race
war.
I’m not a fan of the Boy Scouts, my recollection of my short
time with them was a lot of fart jokes, but: “Be Prepared” is not a bad motto.
Yes, Hitler has returned but this time the people are rejecting Hitler and believe they have a savior in Trump. Could it be that Trump is one of the 2 witnesses referred to in Revelation and that Obama is the Beast? It certainly appears that God's hand is protecting Trump from all of Satan's attacks.
ReplyDeleteCertain prescription drugs make the patient think they see connections between random events. Trump is gaming the gullible. It's his job.
