The road to abatement
There is no question as to how dysfunctional this country is, it's on full display. However, I, and all of us need be far more concerned with a solution, which can be quickly implemented.
The path looking back
Searching for the best term to describe the dismal Thursday trainwreck, dumpster fire aka the presidential debates. With little to no resolve, a human word that adequately can relay the shite show most of us are still fussing over, seems to not exist. Contrary to regular optics, it almost appears the 24-hour news cycle is continuing to animate that life-less corpse. Referring to the US political arena, not either of the geriatrics parading around the stage.
This piece does not aim to convince even the staunchest believer, that government is not their savior. Having over seven years of reliving horrors, shouting from roof-tops, being thrown out of county/school board meetings, and serving notice of liability onto oath breaking Sherriff’s. These are not the people I need when it comes time. The trauma of covid was lived thru for anyone reading this, albeit barely. I am deeply sorry if some of your kin were not so lucky and succumb to the propaganda machine.
Obsessively I searched, evidenced, and attempted to prove so someone, anyone would listen to me. That was in my days of wtf how can this be. Which have transformed into they cannot do this, followed by they are doing this. To currently let’s end this crap once and for all…but how?
The path moving forward
In all honesty, I do not have the silver bullet, the end all, or start all. It will have to be a collective effort, which is a monumental challenge in and of itself. Tho once the tide changes it should be, as we already saw with The Freedom Convoy exponential in growth. People want a hero/shero, we want to corroborate on a massive scale. All coming together for the common good, this moment, and for generations to come. There has been so much disconnect, intentionally driving a wedge to divide. Labels and new words for name calling bigot, fascist, misogynist. These are harmful tactics which need to be seen, and called out for what they are.
I found great revitalization in passionately learning, that which I didn’t care about in school. Reading the Bill of Rights, Federalist papers, founding documents, and dare I say writing my own to enter into the halls of Congress. It is a purpose that has eluded generations before us. “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” ― G. Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain
I’d suspect we are in the last sentence, very close to turning the sharp hair-pin curve to the hard times create strong men. Ready, willing, and able to see the about face of what I have lived so far to the glorious rebirth of this great nation. Living already what would be considered an unorthodox life, the next step will hopefully be less shocking to me than to most of the comfortably diluted populace.
From July that part sat idle…
The road to apathy
It’s still astonishing how the collective sat idly by allowing this once, I hear great nation to deteriorate into the current garbage state ;-) It is my fault, full and formost I raised my toddler daughters, amidst a chaotic marriage to a high functioning, high addict. So I didnt pay attention to big govWHOREment, big harmacuticals, the war machine or fiat currency. Until I was forced to care about something more than myself.
Care about the nuts, and bolts of my entire life, and the life of the generation before me. How indeed?
In doing so in dissecting the demise of the machine I could find the error of my ways. Autopilot, mainly we let a (s) elect few do the jobs I did not want to, nor have time to do. I fill the blue collar, middle class mother trucker role I choose, and Congress person went to Albany or DC in my place. This was OUR fatal flaw.
As I became better at my job as the years ticked on, they became better at causing amnesia. The gen public allowed years to turn to decades and centuries to pass. All the while the statues, codes, rules, edicts “laws” became more muddled.
So now the unfucking is a major challenge, the deep seeded roots are problematic to pull out as they are so far reaching.
But enough of us know now, so many as with this shame election are watching, recording and speaking up!!
As with Peanut and Fred this has to end, the swaying of millions called public opinion will change the course to a more tranquil water. Even if just for a few years, that’s enough that now my daughters know to stand guard against tyrants.
The page has turned, I am sure of it and I stand certain I helped at least in a minor way to turn it!
