And it's one two three what are YOU voting for
As a metaphor we fight for the right to wage war in Vietnam
The selection is a referendum on gullibility. There is no lesser of two evils. The partisan theater is a made for public consumption TV Show. Trump is Warp Speed and Harris an imbecile following orders. The public is Mrs. Robinson.
No backbone in 2020 so Tyranny today. How can it go away into that good night, why? Republicans in government collaborate. If Trump is not stopped one faction of the power elite-probably the dominant faction simply crashes the system into dust. IF Trump is permitted the Purple then he gets to play a role once more in destroying the country. No backbone in the public, no backbone in the nominal resistance, just everyday people faced with misery praying for the Messiah or David to kill Goliath—on TV.
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates' debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at it, you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Wooh, wooh, wooh
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Jolting Joe has left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I look at it this way. I am not putting up a yard sign, or phone banking or anything, but I am going to vote for Trump. Why? Because it will take an hour tops in my rural area, and while I have no confidence Trump won't be a Zionist tool, I do think RFK Jr. could do some real good at FDA or DHS, and Trump is slightly less likely to impose woke tyranny, and perhaps he'll end the Russia proxy war.
But am I going to cheerlead Trump like a cultist? Hell no, I'll vote and then forget it 5 minutes later after 16 years of not voting. Kamala just creeps me out too much to not vote against her, and I am in a swing state.
If the damned borders can be closed, we might buy a few more years. That's it, folks. No rosy promises. Nothing. Trump promises to deport. We'll see. A hard rain's gonna fall. I watch Country Joe's vid from time to time. "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity" sums up our current times so exceedingly well. I think it was Horvath today who revisited a column with the apt summation that, unless you love something far more than you fear death, nothing happens except the stalemate. "Women come and go talking of Michelangelo." We might say "For I have known them all already, known them all: Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons..." Or in social media posts. Here's another anti-war song which always rouses my blood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40JmEj0_aVM
