Republican "policies" and "ideals" are fear-based, distorted, anti-social, and therefore sociopathic. To some degree, they always have been. They certainly haven’t been about “conservative” economic and appropriate constraints on government overreach for decades. They created and got the personification of their fungible beliefs in the Frankenstein that is DJT. He’s the abuser they remember from their childhoods and merely a caricature of the unlimited power they’ve always wanted. And they deserve him.
The rest of us didn’t and don’t deserve him except to the extent that we worship the rich and ignore their misdeeds. And that element, the Capitalist dilemma, the inherent nihilism of Capitalism, and the inevitable fall of empire now unfolding in real-time, NEVER get mentioned in the current chaos, even by the fiercest critics…except Chris Hedges and a small handful of others who are screaming it from the deep cave mainstream media keep them in.
The current surrogate for Republicans' self-destructive, democracy-killing ideas is a Capitalist creation—not the first and certainly not the last, e.g., Pharma Bro, and even Don Dixon (who crashed the entire Savings & Loan industry with his embezzlement of $250bil from Vernon Savings & Loan in Texas). (See, The Daisy Chain, by James O'Shea). And, last I looked, Dixon resided comfortably in California and still had some of that ill-gotten art in his office, while the FDIC paid out hundreds of $millions to clean up the mess, pursue and prosecute him—a picture of how DJT will end up because of the special treatment he gets from all sides, lest doing otherwise starts Civil War II..
FrankenTrump is no accident. In the end, he’s not even an aberration. He's merely a projection of the perverse, repressed, collective pathology and attachment disorder of the Republican mind. As to forming a more perfect union, we desperately need a real third party that will push the carcass of Republicanism over the side of this ship and allow real people a real choice.
My thoughts exactly.
