Pope,
I don’t know how you got impression others are not worried or bothered by the Maggot trajectory.
I was singularly unimpressed by Scaramucci. Ethnic NY Italian section is really cool. But in terms of offering a reasoned basis for optimism in ANYTHING he said. No siree. Sir nope. Great Depression. Civil War. Ok. So what? Challenges are so different from those eras. Civil War is more apt. Even so it is a different world and different dynamics at play. I am not saying USA is going to become a dictatorship. IDK.
Scroogamoochie did say something about independents in the Senate shifting balance of power. And maybe. But just as likely if we even have elections or a traditional prez election the pendulum will swing left like a mofo and we will be overrepresented by their ilk. Oh for a centrist party that emphasizes what is best about the American experiment!
I was thinking how mirror image the far left and far right.
Racism: That is obvious on the right. Trump and his demagoguery. Throwing out so many who should not be thrown out. They’re killing the dogs, they’re killing the cats of the people that live there. Love that song. No idea why. He has dog whistled the far right hate groups.
On the left we have explicit and unmistakable Jew hatred. It is so off the chain. I won’t elaborate. I think i mentioned the history or racism in fascism through the German Nazi experiment. The hierarchy of purity to Jewity. If you are not the ideal blue eyed, blond haired Nordic German you are not the shit. And if you are an untermensch Jew you need to be killed. Far left exact opposite. If you are White you are privileged and not worthy like the indigenous whatever, people of color, trans etc. (of course in their wisdom if you happen to be in a protected class and are born into a scum filth degenerate Muslim culture then fuck you. Burn in hell and we won’t make a peep. They can’t sympathize with any of the victims of Islam or it would eliminate their evil Jew ideology and their sucking face with Islamists & their cultural relativism.)
And then of course the lefty scum are continuing the moronic German ideology and racist play book overall of positing innate characteristics for certain ethnicities or races. History and human nature be damned.
Anti democratic: The Maggot aspect could not be more obvious to a high school student. Why elaborate.
The lefty scum are causing or have caused the right to move further right. Heil Trump! The lefty scum have invited Islamic scum to flourish in our society and make political inroads. The nature of Islam is to seek POWER. lefties are accommodating that project. Further the left want to put a cap on capitalism and some are for socialism and others apparently for communism. Both sides are seeking a departure from democratic norms. But not in an intelligent way like say no more campaign contributions from…nope in destructive ways.
I had somme other thoughts that will remain in abeyance. Or in a bay.
