I have finally figured out what all this embracing of Donald Trump and his ideology is.. it is payback, it is a form of Karma. But it is not the latter from fate or the former from justice that comes in time. Rather, it is from the actions of man against the perceived grievous wrong of taking the WASP male off his throne of superiority, emasculating him publicly, and daring to accord others equal access and opportunity. This my friends is vengeful payback; a decidedly malicious revenge for: Civil Rights Laws, the Voting Rights Act, the Women's Movement, the Americans' with Disabilities Act, Human Rights movements of all kinds, Social Security and Medicare, and calling to task those in congress who've used SS and Medicare for their pork piggy bank for decades. Most especially it is payback for daring to support, elect, and celebrate an African American man to the position of Commander in Chief; not to mention doing it twice!
The embracing of Donald Trump and his ideology. Look how many in the Republican party thrashed him in debates, in public forums, behind closed doors, at dais podiums, and whatever television pundit hour would have them, only to now come forward to support, buoy, and champion him. There can be only reason.. payback. They are willing to cast aside and whitewash his boasting about being able to grab the crotch of their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters and they are okay with this. If President Obama had broached even an inkling of that, well, I don't have to say how those in the red states would want to respond. If President Obama had grabbed a bible and used it as a publicity prop, they would have gone after him even more.. and rightly so.
It's not so much that women and African Americans have the right to vote that is an issue, it is that they exercise it. It is not so much that women want equal pay, it's that they have dared to think and move beyond their stereotypical setting. Admittedly, and in an effort to not totally bail our the women's movement, but had they not ostracized and conveyed animus towards the homemakers they'd have gotten a lot further and faster.
If working stiffs don't pay their bills, these very same supporters want to foreclose, publicly admonish, arrest, convict and imprison. If Donald Trump does it, they want to elect him. Perhaps they believe his access, power, and presumed wealth will trickle down (trickle down doesn't work, for it is contingent on the benevolence and conscientiousness of others). If you try to assist the working individuals in any way, it is socialism. If you want to assist the chosen candidates in any way, it is called a donation. Why can't working folks stand on their own, some may wonder, but that bodes the question of why can't those running for office stand on THEIR own ?
Yes, it is payback folks.. It is WASP induced "karma" for daring to remove from the throne, those who feel they are ordained by God to be in that role. Funny isn't in, the very bible they tout talks of equality, justice, mercy, compassion, respect etc.. Beware of the money changers in the temple they are choosing to elect Herod, because they will be invited to the party where all others will serve them.
Let's Have a Dialog.
