Letter to an Aussie Friend
Letter to an Aussie Friend Dear Annette, We're just shy of living in an armed camp here, but I don't doubt that will soon change and the camp will be fully armed. Our constitution is just a talking point now for conservatives. This is all about the acquisition of power and wealth and they don't care by what means they acquire it. Their capacity for hypocrisy is a sight to behold. It is not hyperbole to call this a fascist coup. Even some liberals are tsk-tsking over protest here claiming that we mustn't make waves. And there is the usual distaste for more violent protest. In a capitalist society where human value is based on how much property you have, the destruction of property is a valid protest and a true statement. It's a legitimate revolutionary act. This coup is powered by anti-intellectualism to the point of being anti-knowledge and anti-fact. There is a pride in their ignorance and in their refusal to learn. They are equally proud of their bigotry and hatred. I have been lectured ad nauseam that I must try to understand and empathize with people who will resort to violence against other citizens, as if neo-nazis and white supremacists have any inclination to remain peaceful. The apologists do not understand that the argument has already been framed- the culture war is about to rise in temperature from warm to red hot. And the flame of ignorant populist hatred of supposed elites- read educated people here- is being fanned by other elites, the wealthy and powerful corporations who see a chance to pillage what's left of the country and have it all for themselves. The acolytes of Trump are so blind in their devotion to their ignorant and petulant leader that they refuse to see his sellout of their heritage to Vladimir Putin all for Trump's own personal gain. This is end stage capitalism. This is what it looks like. The corporations so worshipped by conservatives see only two classes- winners and losers. Trump will lead all of us to destruction and never bat an eye, because he believes in nothing at all beyond his own ego. This isn't simply a fight for our values, our honor, and our posterity, it's a fight for our very lives. Love, Bill Become a member now and get a free tote bag. |

Thanks. There will be no exchanges with AB here. There are plenty of places for him to spread his bullshit. This isn't one of them. I think we're up to it too, but that's no prediction of victory. This is not gonna be easy. It'll take lots of different approaches combined and a terrific amount of energy. But I'm inspired and impressed so far. Trump's done a lot of damage in a very short time, but there's mounting opposition to him. It doesn't take a large percentage of the population to effect change. Trump himself was elected by the slimmest minority of a minority, and that's in spite of ruthless and systematic voter suppression and Russian hacking, along with the collusion of elements of the FBI. I'd have preferred to live in less interesting times, particularly at this point in my life. But we don't get to choose. We only get to choose how we respond.

I am an optimist and I believe that things are not so bad. If the forces of good will be pious, will understand why they have engendered such hatred from their former supporters, will look inward to see the solution, then everything can be saved. I believe in a bright future for all of us. My featured post this week: Pulling Fantasy Sex Out of My Ass.

There's still enough passionate, intelligent, fully aware of the threat, "liberal elites" (cough) that will rise to the occasion. The Orange One even got this nonpolitical introvert to join the women's march here in the middle of the ocean. Danger, danger Will Robinson! Thoughts from the Garden...

Things haven't reached a critical point yet, we still have time to protest and show the world what an incompetent dangerous fool he is. The Republicans will get their way for a little while then the Democrats and the Independents and some if not many of the Republicans will see what has been done and will demand that things be fixed.

But I disagree- we're way past a critical point. This is some serious shit going down, my friend. I don't mean to imply it won't get much more serious, but it's way past critical. We have a den of fascists in the White House. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Bonjour Kzoopair Il y a bien longtemps que je pense que notre civilisation est en pleine déconfiture, c'est juste un petit coup d'accélérateur, pour que le camion qui n'a plus de frein dans la descente aille un peu plus vite Voir ma signature ♥ Poton ♥ Bisou ♥ Annie ♥ Hello Kzoopair It was a long time ago that I think our civilization is in complete disarray, it is just a little accelerator, so that the truck that no longer has brakes in the descent goes a little faster See my signature ♥ Kiss ♥ Annie ♥

Hello my friend, beautifully written letter to your friend. Much has happened since then. I was glad to see the woman's march on Washington showing Trump that Americans rather what gender will stick up to him. Surrounding himself with the likes of Bannon, Tillerson. Does he really think that he's running the show over Bannon? What he has said the the President of Mexico. and Australasia are a few more examples of his inability to be president. A president who tells government officials if you don't back me up you will lose your job. Telling the scientists who are government employees what they can and can't say because it goes against what Trump says is wrong. Having Bannon advise him as to what we need to do military wise vs those in the intelligence who know what is going on is wrong. A man who relies on twitter, is hot headed, how he belittles those who don't agree with him. He makes no scene most of the time when he speaks. He has travel bans on countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 yet those countries that did there isn't a ban. Why because he has hotels there, and in his own words why would I not like them they make me money. He has to much conflict of interest with his business and his role as president. Then you have Putin God only knows what he has in store with him. He has done a lot of done a lot of damage in what just over two weeks in office? I don't see things getting any better but only worse. It's to bad that the Republicans who said they wouldn't vote for him are all now like his puppets, and don't seem to care about the rest of the country. So another question arises what are we going to do with this Fascist NeoNazi President? Do I think were in trouble yes I do and I'm very frightened what is going to happen. We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we have only one - Confucious

It's difficult to predict the future. Once in a while some sage will get a little part of it right and be lauded as a prophet, when really, he just made a good guess. But we can predict what will happen in general if Trump and his zombie followers continue in power. Our country will become a frightening place where only sycophants and toadies will be relatively safe. The current Republican party is showing us how that works. As long as they thought Trump was losing, they were backing away from him, afraid to hedge their bets even. Now they're like hogs jostling for the trough, everyone of them hoping to be tossed some plum by the Ducé. We've seen this shit happen before. History repeats itself.

It's surreal ... but I've seen this before. Anyone familiar with the movie "Idiocracy?" The film tells the story of two people who take part in a top-secret military human hibernation experiment, only to awaken 500 years later in a dystopian society where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism have run rampant, and is devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and coherent notions of justice and human rights. It stars Luke Wilson and was written by Mike Judge, the same guy who created "Beavis and Butt-Head."

standing ovation. as Trump and his minions continue to lie, to snap bites out of the rights of Americans and alienate its allies. it is our job to STAND against him. to raise all of these issues publicly, legally, daily. to fight with every breath to show not just trump but the rest of the world, and yes, America that we are still the America that rxisted a short two weeks ago. we don't get to be tired, defeated. scared? sure. but not defeated. this is when we we are needed most. and no, it's not going to be allright unles we make it allright. this is a war, not a battle, not a skirmish. learn how to wage war successfully in all arenas. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

You're right. It is our duty to resist, publicly and with noise. We are still the America that existed before the election. Trump's supporters resemble nothing more than a lynch mob. Lots of us are scared, and only fools would not be. This is the elevation of everything that is base and mean in people. Protest is an affirmation of our basic human decency.

The truth is that if people stay inert and quiet nothing will ever change. I don't know what could be done to shake the stupefied and the ignorant, to stress the truth to the indifferent. Something has to be done though or our future is grim. Great post, my friend!
