Beware the chaos now headed our way

Posted

My dad used to tell me America will always have more than our share of dingbats, because so many of our ancestors were forced to leave their home countries for reasons other than poverty.
They weren’t forced to leave because they were wonderful people.  They were made to leave because they were anti-social dingbats. This characteristic doesn’t have to be genetic, but it can certainly be inherited.  Plus, the effects of extreme poverty can be passed along in more ways than one. The people they left behind at the docks weren’t necessarily weeping at their departures— they were throwing rocks.
MAGA anger and chaos is people who feel repressed, have felt that way for a long time, and feel this is their moment, regardless of the consequences.  The billionaires on the stage with Trump fan the flames so they can make more money off a sinking ship.
Last time around with Trump and COVID, we saw 1.6 million extra deaths through Trump’s aggressive and impetuous incompetence.  Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, tried to corner the market on masks but gave up when it was found out.  The Donald actually talked people into injecting themselves with horse tranquilizers and bleach.
The latest news is that the Centers for Disease Control has now been forbidden to let anyone know what’s going on with infectious diseases or other causes of death.  All their information has to go to the White House before it can be released.  This means there can and will be infectious diseases all around us, and our public health system is now forbidden from telling us. Just to be sure the message gets across, Trump has just canceled the security protection Dr. Fauci has needed to protect himself and his family from the folks with the red ball caps.
