He did it; well, almost, that is. He worked and played into countless hands so as to get a grip and tight hold. To be able to reach between the legs and grab whatever he could so as to control and bring to her knees, not just America the country, but her valued, prized, and enviable institution of democracy, however imperfect the actual practice of her may be. He didn't storm in like a rabid bear but rather like a cub, a seemingly playful and harmless bear cub, all while lying in wait, growing with resentment, building up bitterness, and learning how to appeal to the baseness in many. His machinations, buoyed by political greed and narcissism, became the perfect inroad into the attempted destruction of America. I'm not talking about Donald Trump, although - keep reading. I am talking about Vladimir Putin and the play he has authored about oligarchy and plutocratic revenge for Americas having sown seeds of dissention among the soviet peoples; creating dissention and sowing his own seeds of division and disharmony knowing that the lesser of our angels would seize upon.it, exploit it and use it for their own financial gain. Enter Donald Trump ... stage right. Let us set and block the first act, join me on this journey.
Who among us could be called quite banal and base in business, in financial interests and investments. Who appears as though he would sell out his own family members, mistresses etc, simply to advance and be larger than life...ah... Donald Trump. Ok, lets give him some business here in the mother country, get to his 'heart', so to speak, appeal to his wallet. We'll give him what he wants in business and in recreation and he will usher us into America, and it will be on a red carpet too, no doubt.
Onto the second act ... let us give our people a bit more leisure pursuits, the western world's rock and roll, fast food, and soda pop. Let's encourage our citizens to take part in western democracies escapist luxuries of movies, television, and sports. America will see us as lightening up , more open to 'her ways', and voila... we're in.
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
So what is the third act? When does the protagonist get to show his true cards? Remember the end of the first act? "Enter Donald Trump." Playing to our weaknesses and failings, he enlisted Mr Trump to be his trumpeter, heralding in subversion, distrust, and political polarization ..even paying for it, as necessary. I can see the hallmarks of an attempted coup clearly. And while the chief instigator truly was reality star, Donald Trump, he is merely a pawn, a patsy, a stooge, a minion in Vladimir Putin's well planned play to let America and democracy destroy itself. And the donald will get to believe he is an unassailable monarch But the king, has no clothes.
Give 'em the old three ring circusStun and stagger 'emWhen you're in trouble, go into your danceThough you are stiffer than a girderThey'll let you get away with murderRazzle dazzle 'emAnd you've got a romance
The grand finale, so to speak, of the great play upon America is the assault upon the US Capital, democracy's Pearl Harbor with Trump playing the role of Tojo. With Putin being a student of history, I'm rather surprised... for all he has done is to awaken a sleeping giant. Oh and by the way, I'm not absolving Trump... far from it. I'm merely hypothesizing that while he is truly guilty in all of this years long tragedy, starting with joining birtherism. Just as he flimflammed so many and in disastrously reprehensible ways and for his own selfish interests, he too was being played.
