The Donald, the Damage and the Do-Over

I think there is at least a little part in each of us that tries to agree with Trump. Why? Because it’s safer. No, not saying that he’s safe to have in office. Rather the opposite, that he is the sort of person we learned very early that it was dangerous to disagree with. The ultimate Pig Parent, if you will…

For years I have tried to communicate the notion that what I will call the “vocal right” actually dupes and abuses the public by using a tone of voice and style of speaking that echoes a particular variety of child abuse to manipulate large numbers of voters into the service of the oligarchy against their own best interest. Most of us learned as kids to shuffle along with at least some of this idiocy because one refused at their own peril, so just give yourself credit for being here. And hopefully learning not to respond to the triggers once we remember we are safe now.

Finally, we have the proof – Donald Trump’s debate performance was a perfect, validated example of how someone can say nothing of truth or substance — with authority. Did anybody not say “WTF?” when he muttered the aside about a 400 pound hacker in bed? Americans, you will not be struck dead for admitting to yourself, or saying out loud – “that’s insane.”

Let this be a wake-up call for voters and help all of us heal from the divisive and destructive behavior of these wingnuts with 3-year-old minds in adult bodies. Imagine a giant toddler picking up the Earth to smash it to pieces… and take it away!
