Reality Horror TV for Real

Well....who said politics is boring?  Just so we don't relax, President Trump is finding every way he can to create chaos. This past weekend he tweeted his warnings and provocations to fill the streets in DC with domestic terrorists to foment insurrection on January 6th.  Is this really happening?   There are many who think he is completely unhinged and fantasizing about invoking the Insurrection Act to bring out the military and invoke martial law.  He apparently believes he will be able to confiscate the election machines in the 'battleground states' and wave his magic wand and force millions of people to line up like sheep and 're-vote' to change the result of a national election!  If it weren't so absurdly frightening it would be funny.

But wait, maybe he has a plan that is now coming into focus!  The unfathomable replacements he made at the Pentagon a few weeks ago, replacing long time career Pentagon leaders with his sycophantic supporters, perhaps make a little more sense.  If he has his toadies in control, then his move to call out the military is perhaps not so farfetched!  I guess he thinks he can get the military to herd all the unwilling voters to go to the polls and at gunpoint cast their ballots.

 

What a plan!

 

If any of this actually happens, it is goodbye democracy.

 

I tried to take a nap earlier today, since yesterday I drove back from a wonderful weekend with my daughters in Raleigh, NC.   As mile after mile went by, I was amazed at the giant billboards that  promoted Trump and "Make America Great Again".  I realized that the rural landscape I was racing through had hordes of people who blindly accepted the crap he was feeding them.  I tried to imagine living there and seeing those giant billboards every day and hearing the tripe being spouted by local radio every day.  

 

Since the journey had really wiped me out, I laid  my head down about 2:30pm and turned on the radio so the droning would put me to sleep.  What I heard instead was the local FOX talk radio host frenetically inciting his prospective callers to offer up their opinions of why the election was a complete hoax.  One

after another these people recited the often heard tropes about why Trump has been fraudulently hoaxed out of winning.  The host egged them on spouting the lies over and over again!  It is just so unbelievable that this is happening.......It just never seems to stop and no matter that what they are saying is unprovable because of the complete lack of evidence, and the fact that all of their lawsuits to change the election results have been laughed out of court by more than 88 judges nationwide, they just ignore the facts!

 

Thank God there are only 23 more days of this.  I am holding my breath until Trump is finally gone.  He has clearly shown his true colors over the past several weeks, and especially the last few days.  His complete cruelty and disregard for the millions of Americans who don't have enough to pay the rent is so nauseating.  He is out playing golf while people are sitting in food lines because they can't feed their children. 

 

Well, I guess we just have to fasten our seat belts and see what horror materializes next.  As I said, it certainly is not boring.  I just wish the future of my country wasn't at stake.
