Considering the Implications Of The Trump Administration

To begin our consideration of the Trump Administration start by listening to the song at the link and watching the music video: "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers.  You'll see the connection right away.

Now having listened to the song and having watched the video you can see why it seems to be a description of the motivations of Trump and the Republicans.  

The Presidency of Donald Trump is following the plan revealed by Woodrow Wilson when he made the above confession.  Trump has escalated the animosity of the State by attacking the right of THE PEOPLE to vote.  We, as a nation, have known how to hold elections all the way up until the Trump Administration.  Now according to Trump and the Republicans we don't know how to do it anymore.  When it is in the interest of the State to keep voters from voting the social situation is not serious, it is critical approaching dire.  Stop for a moment and think what it means for the State to make voting difficult for those eligible to vote.

What would be the right thing for Americans to do when confronted with information to that effect?

How about, since we are hosting an ever growing deadly PANDEMIC we have a nationwide teachers strike out of an abundance of caution?  Such an act would lessen the probability of a nationwide outbreak just before the election which could be used to halt the election Trump and the Republicans are already attempting to interfere with.  It is hard to imagine either Trump or the Republicans care whether we live or die.  If it looks like they don't care, it is incumbent on ourselves to care.

How many teachers is Trump willing to have get sick while at work and possibly die in order to save the economy?  Maybe a better question to ask is how many teachers are there who are willing to get sick and die for the benefit of the economy and Donald Trump, his Republican enablers and corporate donors?  It seems like the teachers should be the ones making decisions like that, doesn't it? 

Something amounting to a terrible wrong has been apparent in the U.S. since Trump took center stage.  It's like an aneurysm  at the heart of our nation. It remains to be seen if the condition is treatable or if it has progressed too far.   The special interests Woodrow Wilson spoke of are still present in the mind of the resident of the Oval Office and the offices of Wall Street today. The people in those offices are demanding, from their gilded chambers, that the workplaces down at street level be staffed no matter what the cost to human life. 

So what should Americans do?  How about a nationwide teachers strike to kick things off and reset the mood of the people?  Truly this is a do or die moment and such a justified rebellion will wake up the populace to the danger society is in. It is time to encourage and support the teachers in a nationwide strike if they choose to do so. I for one hope the teachers walk out on strike, masks on and determined.

So we started with "Pepper". For inspiration I'll leave you with "Banks Of Marble".
