Once Upon A Time: a
political fable
Almost immediately
after the honeymoon of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election was over the nation was ready for a divorce.
At first the Trump
supporters of the various Gooberville's in every nook and cranny across the
nation responded with unrestrained glee as did the supporters of Trump on Wall
Street. Gooberville is no longer happy
but Wall Street is delirious, like a drunken queen hosting a party.
What happened to
bring about this cataclysmic change was the waking up of the electorate concerning the complete
sell out of both major political parties to their benefactors in the corporate
world. The result left the American people penniless and hopelessly in debt and
feeling like they'd been bitch slapped.
Donald Trump and the Republicans and the Democrats joined together to
declare the program a success. But now
the people were awake and ready to take charge.
The wake up call
came in the spring and summer of 2018 when the electorate gradually became
aware that the ideology by which the Republicans and Democrats make decisions
with was designed to extinguish the hope and dreams of the common person on
Main Street. This realization was
evidenced by the appearance of so called far left ideas, which in common ordinary
practice were actually in the dead center.
The dead center being the common areas of human need. Food, housing, employment, and healthcare, just ordinary things people need. Why the Republicans and Democrats have made it so tough on the people is for you to decide. But there is no question the present condition the people find themselves in is due to Republicans and
Democrats making laws.
Democrats making laws.
People did want
jobs, did want healthcare, did want college education and most of all they
wanted their hope restored and it was plain to all that the Republicans and the
Democrats needed to be shown the door in order for hope to peek through the
gloom and enter the room.
The flaw that was so carefully disguised in the language of MAGA along with the stoking of the
fires of fear with incendiary xenophobic speech suddenly became evident.
It became evident
in mass shootings and Nazi Parades and murders by Nazis in the streets of the
U.S. many of these incidents done by Donald Trump's followers. Trump's appearance on the world stage has given the nation and the world a big bad bellyache.
As it turned out
the American people, enough of them anyhow, came to the understanding that the
Republicans and Democrats no longer serve the interests or share the same
concerns and neither are they possessed by the same desires as the people who
vote. In other words the people determined that neither the Republicans or the
Democratic parties give a rats ass about Main Street and the families trying to make a living. It is evident in the laws they've made and
have refused to make. (added important article by Jordan Chariton exposing conventional political activity taking place in U.S. Evidence of Republican and Democratic party misbehavior.)
From the way it
looked to the people in the Spring and Summer of 2018 it was time for a change
and people from the center spoke up. There were oodles of them all making noise
and stepping out of line and taking charge of their own destiny. Hearts were aflame
with visions of peace and prosperity for them and their children and
grandchildren. It was amazing. It was
like seeing Ezekiel's old dry bones come to life. Some of them decided to run for
office and there were so many of them their voices were like the sound of many
rivers rushing together.
It was glorious and
when election day came not a single Republican or Democrat was elected, and
never again in a future election was a Republican or Democrat put in office and
the people lived happily ever after.
