I think I’ll write some more before bed. IDK.
The big takeaway here is that none of this stuff makes any sense.
It’s all just brutally confusing. Sorry, but I don’t get it. Any of it.
I’ll try to summarize the stuff that confuses the hell out of me, here.
1) Terrorists are bad. Terrorists stand against the secular way of life that our country embodies, fights for, and promotes. So terrorists need to be stamped out, except on those occasions where they threaten secular cultures in the places where we most want secular nations. Then, they are to be supported, with the ones who physically attacked us because of our secular way of life getting the most military support.
2) Saudi Arabia, the epicenter of ISIS, Al-Queda, and all Islamic terrorism, is our best friend in the Middle East, and it is now US government policy to give them as many weapons as possible so they can destroy their enemies, which obviously includes us.
3) Donald Trump, the billionaire New Yorker famous for trashy reality TV and for a line of gaudy casinos and expensive hotels, who has a former Russian model for a wife that is 4 decades younger than him and a bunch of Jewish kids, is a folksy, humble conservative who represents the lives of the working class people out in the boondocks.
4) Ok, wait.
You know what? No. I’m not going to sit here, all night long, doing this. I’ve already listed ad naseum this stuff, and it’s not going to sound any better to me this time around.
What I think the point here is is this: Nobody knows what the hell the United States is doing, anymore. Nothing the government does makes any sense to anyone.
You know, I really don’t think it’s going to last, all of this stuff. I really don’t.
It saddens me to see so many people investing so much of themselves in a future that they will never see. And I’m talking about the wealthy, here. The oligarchs and the celebrities and the rich, and those with emotional investment in the system, somehow.
They’re not going to be getting the futures that they seem to think they deserve. It’s tragic, really.
The conservatives- the ones truly out in the boondocks- will I think write the next chapter in this country’s history. I still believe this, in my heart of hearts. I still think it, even if nobody else does, including them. It just feels right to me, somehow. Like that’s just how it will be.
They live lives free from idealogical confusion. They know who they are, and what they stand for. I’m not so sure that that can be said of anyone else. And with Jesus officially out of their lives, I think they can finally see clearly too, perhaps for the first time in centuries.
The future, I think, belongs to them. I can feel it, so powerfully.
My interpretation of Trump thus far is this: he is the last gasp of the regime. His campaign was the ruling families’ terrified response to the awakened giant lumbering to it’s feet all around them.
And Trump… has failed. He has not stalled the awakening, nor slowed it down. If anything, his endless betrayals have only strengthened the awesome and overwhelming power and drive of the conservative base, here. They’re not only angry, but, now, they can see very clearly that no vote will make a difference. In a sense, they have immense and unbelievable power, coupled with the understanding that they have nothing to lose, should they use it.
And make no mistake- it is their power that is on the ascendant, here. They’re not panicking. They’re angry, yes. But it’s the government, led by Trump and the Democratic party, that looks scared and confused right now.
The supporters of the Democratic party, I think, don’t understand this. See, they’re actually gloating over Trump’s failure. They see Trump’s failure as the ruination of the conservative base. What they ignore is of course the obvious fact that Trump isn’t a conservative, and has never in his life had anything to do with them.
Trump isn’t a folksy, backwoods conservative type. He is the polar opposite of this, in every way. Trump is a liberal. He’s a rich NY native with a Jewish family. He’s never worked a hard day’s labor in his life. His failures and floundering are a reflection of the failures of his demographic within the liberal regime, and NOT the conservative base, who IMHO is still an imposingly rising power.
The liberals… are not going to get what they expect. Nobody will, I think. Not even the conservatives, who I don’t think expect at all that the country will fall into their lap, in the end.
To them, it will be as big of a shock as anything.
It’ll be interesting to watch unfold, that’s for sure.
