Trump the great emancipator!?!
How Trump may free us!
I feel the need to repeat a phrase that is all the rage in the Trump Error … “These are strange and unprecedented times!” but it’s not ALL bad…
Actually, it is pretty bad but likely not fatal It seems with each rising sun we do discover something new about who and what we are and that's some kind of growth and growth is good … right?
Now we can spend days sorting through who insulted who or which President is not suited to the office and such but instead, I’d like to spend some time on some of the positive things he’s done for us … this may be a very short piece.
While some Presidents bring new words, phrases, and ideas into the American consciousness, “The buck stops here!”, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself!” and our Trump’s “you can grab em’ by the pussy!”
Yes, we have Trump to thank for opening the door and admitting “Pussy” into the popular lexicon as well as “Bigly” and many other newly created words.
With new boundaries being destroyed on a daily basis we are all being freed, freed from the restrictions of polite societal conventions & mores & critical thought… hell, at this point we can pretty much consider ourselves freed from all types of thought.
What a gift!
Let’s examine just what gifts such as these might do for us all, besides the obvious effect of giving some the freehand they have long awaited, freedom to offend and make America great again.
Freedom to put liberals, people of color & women right back at the bottom of the heap the way they probably think God intended.
The long-maligned white men of this world can once again grab the wheel and continue running the world into the ditch but not ALL white men, even the Trumpians can see that it is the select few that will hold the power and as for the rest?
Well… They’ll make great pets?
The Trump plan, as it always is with despotic rulers only acknowledges money & power but also as it always is, this plan will never take into consideration the considerable power of the resistance, the power of history the power of the people.
Society is moving beyond the system that kept the balance by issuing small crumbs of power and regional influence to the surf class and as we move beyond that system we will have to build a new one hopefully one that better serves us.
I know we have dared to dream of a better more equitable future many times but it does fit well into the ironic nature of existence that our darkest President may usher in a new age of light & enlightenment.
How can I say this?
I guess I can because I still remain hopeful because I want to believe that by staring into the dark of the abyss we may be able to fully appreciate the light and that appreciation may steel us to the task of bringing more light to our lives.
