The hatred of George W. Bush is fucking a girl brought home Thursday night from the bar; hating Donald Trump is making love to a long-distance girlfriend nightly.
Hell has not arisen so there is no real fear, but rather the voice of people's opinions have and the voices of reason disappeared. It is hard to come to the reality of the present when all the people who know of the past have nearly expired. What we have going on now is not news, but rather the repetition of history. Race, politics, new vs old, those are the problems that the future and past will always behold.
The only politicians who tell the truth are noble losers who do not win the elections. Washington has gotten so crisscrossed and bent that Johny Sins himself wouldn't bend them over. The issues that will affect our not so distant reality are out of touch white hags who will be trading in their briefs for diapers within the span of a year or two. They will keep their seat until their money starts to overflow their back pockets and sitting down to do their job becomes a chore right below cleaning the toilets and acting in the interest of the people.
Protest do not happen just to happen, ideologies are not formed overnight, and the meaningless death of American lives do not happen without someone's compromise.
The '60s was the clash of two generations, peace vs war, classical vs rock, the old vs the new. The battle between the two had a treaty written, but never signed. This had caused the dust to settle, but not gone. It would accumulate in the corner getting bigger as times would change. It takes generations of accepted thinking in order for all of that dust to be swept out the back door and that clearly has not happened. 2020 is not a bad year because it is 2020 and our problems will not just disappear in 2021. This year is the dust storm that has been sitting silently in the corner of the room occasionally making a whimper.
The lives lost during the coronavirus do not have a noble cause, but like in wars were lost by people who should never have compromised. The fact that Trump won in 2016 because he seemed to be the lesser of two evils at the time is a reality that people needed to deal with. There is no harm done as long as the sanctions and political norms were kept, that is how we prosper. But it was when two-faced republican bastards had compromised not with Trump, the American people, or their peers, but with themselves and let their values erode until there were none left.
I believe that we will get through this. Surprisingly enough I am an optimist and when looking at the history of the world you must remind yourself that the democracy we are living in is a 244-year-old experiment that's going on. We have found a flaw in the system where dimwitted, power-hungry, bastards can hold the most powerful and highly regarded office in the land. The Roman Empire had lasted over 1,000 years; we still have a lot of catching up to do so will our experiment face time and be here in a thousand?
"Between the Idea and Reality.... Falls the Shadow" * that has been manipulated by a society turning lions into sheep who still have their roar. The individualism of the shadow has disappeared and now there are only two shadows to choose from; and that is our reality.
* An excerpt from T.S Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men"
