After the SCOTUS rulings yesterday and the utter failure of GOP majorities in both legislative chambers to mount any opposition to the march of progressivism, I am beginning to think we could do a lot worse than Trump. I fear that The Donald is simply a Trojan horse for the Clintons, however, so I am keeping a wary eye on things.
In any event, I am about ready to fold up the tent and let the socialists have the country at this point.
The concept of individual freedom has been rendered meaningless in the modern era. Who the POTUS is or will be is little different than rooting for a sports team. Whoever wins a sporting event is guided by the rules of the game, and the rules are rigged in favor of those who are plugged into the establishment. That is the plain and simple truth of the matter.
Careful now. I posted similar thoughts and was hounded for weeks by posters here.
The reality is, the system this country was founded with allows for change. Millennials now outnumber boomers. Millennials, in general, have been thoroughly indoctrinated. The course is set, and we are too few to make a correction.
I accept it. I now am deeply interested as I watch the changes come about. The things we once thought impossible, such as doublespeak, chronic distraction and disinterest by the public, a public educated but unable to reason, all are the order of the day.
At the end of the day, I'll go home, walk the dog, have a cigar, and eat a nice dinner. I'll enjoy it while it lasts, and take some comfort in watching progressives learn what big government really means.
