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

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.

And I believe people don't get anything they aren't willing to fight for. Piety may serve you well in a monastery- until the Northmen attack. So don't try to persuade me that we have brought this on ourselves by our wish for a diverse and inclusive society- as if WE had engendered such hatred by wanting a just nation.

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!

Good for you, gardenboy! People are rising to the occasion. All this is depressing on the right hand and inspirational on the left. Everyone has to rise up and fight back in any way they can find. I saw photos of protestors from Antarctica! I took video of my sixty three year old wife marching in Grand Rapids, Michigan! This is no time to be silent and soul search about what we might have done to deserve this assault. That's just more victim shaming. Stand up and be counted.

he's a puppet not just controlled by Putin, but by Bannon, Flynn, and sonny boy in law..
he has ADD, he can't concentrate, he never was in charge of any large Corp. all was done from the 26th floor of the tRump tower. with a few close confidant.
the only time he had a big company was the casino... and we all know how well that went..

we are not up shits creek with out a paddle.. we are in shits creek and we are paddling and the biggest, highest , falls are approaching fast.

if we are not on the way over already.

I m just wondering in a few months, if he claims that the government has to confiscate people guns , cause he is in fear of an over throw.

I have no doubt that Tump's a puppet. Most presidents find out they're at the mercy of forces beyond their control- but most of them understand that. Bill Clinton: "You mean my economy is at the mercy of a bunch of fucking bond traders?!" Obama found that out too. But Trump thinks he's actually driving! Daddy Bannon lets Trump sit in his lap and put his hands on the wheel, and Cheetolini never realizes that he don't control shit.

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.

I hope Democrats will start to fight- otherwise we'll have to find some new Democrats. I'm hopeful that the pressure they're feeling will force the growth of actual testicles. As usual, the public is way out in front of them. This has to be resisted tooth and nail.

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.

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.

Thanks Spunky. I know this is a problem in the UK and western Europe too, but America has doubled down on idiocracy with the elevation of Cheetolini. We have to fight this every inch of the way. This is NOT just politics as usual.

Annie, if Trump is allowed to succeed, it means Al Qaeda has won- they've achieved their goals. Only cowards would want a leader like Trump.

Annie, si on permet à l'atout de réussir, il signifie Al - le qaeda les a gagné ont atteint leurs buts. Seulement les lâches voudraient une amorce comme Donald Trump.

Thanks Mr. R.

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.

I have seen it and I agree. The move to put President Babyhands in office is startling in its disdain for the truth- the only things that matter are revenge, hatred and bigotry. Facts have no place in their heads and a thoughtful plan is laughable to them. This is why it's called reactionary.

Somehow I missed responding earlier- I'm sorry.

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.

Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
