The fallback accusations that dissidents speaking up at Republican town halls nationwide are secretly one and all paid liberals, is the typical projection that consideration of others is only possible when the price is right, but also is it a strange way of announcing that conservatives across the country are too dumb to get into their own meetings. Where are the FOX interviews with huge throngs of jilted conservative voters blocked from attending?
Likewise, Trump speaking obsessively about a third term in office is him saying no Republican can do it, despite all the MAGA dunces believing he will ever pass the mantle of centerpiece in their direction.
But MAGA people are not conservative anyway, in that their leader comes before god or country in all matters, whereas conservatives give all emphasis to god and country at grave and dehumanizing cost to actual peoples those symbols are supposed to speak on behalf of. Justifications for denying their tenth commandment are at once a denial of their first. Self-contradictions lead to self-defeat, which is grand for there exists no resistance. Pundits make light of the atmospheric theatricality, or like Andrew Sullivan will perversely be critical hand in hand with appeasements that Trump was good for the economy or is right about immigration. As ever, when politicos or pundits reference the economy they are not talking of monies in circulation but monies claimed by the most powerful. Minting a trillion-dollar coin while booting over 4 million households from the food stamps program under a government further in debt than any government in world history spoke otherwise to any Trump economic success fable, just as anyone opposed to freedom of movement is a xenophobe at the core whether they can admit it of themselves or not. If migrants ever stole jobs, why are more and more southern states itching to undo their own child labor laws? And the notion that whatever evils must always come from the outside as opposed to the reality of originating from within, is just more fear and hatred of unprovoking scapegoats, for The Horrible Sin of entertaining competing daddy complexes, or none at all. Four-fifths of the USA population did not vote for Trump, a small and easily provable detail no commercial voice dare address, though his supporters cannot fathom anyone, much less the vast majority, disagreeing unless financially staked or acting on behalf of imaginary, supernatural evils. Photo-ops of rallies and demonstrations aside waiting for the unmarked pick-me-ups, I think the lethargy comes from the same ideological place that refuses to accept over 90% of all military bases and installations around the globe are property of Uncle Sam. Which suggests no physician is willing or able to heal themselves whilst their lone concern is obtaining acceptance for their own schizophrenia. I’ve argued with my retired professor of philosophy n’uncle that only incompetence and friendly fire will spare the world, which assures the majority will nonetheless continue to rule by refusing to go without, their own individual illusions of competency and comradery or anything else so unnecessary.
