I did not register for the draft under the pretense of being bound to conscription in the event of its implementation as a final resort in cleaning up the fallout from the iniquities of a maniacally deranged psychopath as president who went unchecked by his own party for too long. I wouldn’t do that man the courtesy of greeting him as ‘President’, let alone kill or die in a war ignited by him. His inflammatory rhetoric aimed at China should cause concern in everyone, especially in his allusions to Pearl Harbor. We are being pushed to the brink of war and yet our representatives are apparently complacent in accepting their inability to stop this by normal channels. To stop not just trump, but the radical right he is inciting to carry assault rifles into Capitol buildings. What is disabling the left, and producing what has become a crisis, is that Trump thrives on exhibiting precisely the antithesis of rational procedure and sensibility. The left’s attempts to disarm him and decry his vitriol and flagrant idiocy have failed because neither he nor his base listen to the left or to reason. They listen to fox and, even for trump himself, they listen to trump— neither of which are concerned with facts or with reconciliation. Time to shift our focus from preoccupation with exposing the logical inconsistencies of his messaging, instead to a more intrusive effort to disable its promulgation to begin with. Time to make it inconvenient to lie. Twitter! You banned political advertising, how about knowingly deceitful propaganda? It seems to me that we do Trump something in the order of a service by dignifying his repugnant language with allowing the mere implication that it warrants consideration for substantive content; ie his momentum is fueled essentially solely by incessantly spewing ever more impossibly insane horse shit so that his insidiously nauseating agenda can be served without attracting attention behind the chaos in his wake. So, then, we are left with only one option: to remove his platform for sewing unrest. His function as far as president, so far as is apparent, has been to take leaps in eroding the bulwarks against tyranny… and his weapon in doing so has been his remarkable capacity for inflaming tensions and aggravating the ideological divide through stoking vehement hatred on both sides (whether it be the bigotry of the right or the seething indignation of the left). So long as there is no conceivable place for solidarity in addressing the bullshit predicament we’re in — and there will never be, with an impetuous child for president who can only communicate in terms of self obsession or incendiary deflection/projection — well, we’re fucked. Long story short, his platforms for communicating with the public in an unadulterated fashion (he has sufficiently proven himself incapable of observing the great responsibility with which the pulpit comes) must be removed or confronted for their complacency, and for their part, in what will surely be a collapse far greater than can be conjured by the imagination. We find ourselves at an incredibly precarious place in history, and we face it knowing one erratic move, from a man so inept I feel a sense of disgust at our own place bound identity when we see him, could irrevocably negate our notions of a future, or any future, in a relatively secure society. Good heavens I’m tired of all this.
