Last night, I read Brosephus’ latest post shortly before going to bed — warning: do NOT make this post your bedtime reading! Brosephus paints a chilling scenario, one that ten years ago I would have laughed off as fiction, but one that today … I’m no longer laughing. We must do everything in our power to ensure that there is no possibility of this happening, and the first step is to protect voting rights … hear that, Congress???
After watching the GOP evolve (devolve depending on your perspective) into a hard right authoritarian party, I’ve convinced myself there are two types of conservatives. There are the puppeteers consisting of groups like the Federalist Society, Fox News and others. Then, there are the puppets which is basically everyone else. This specific grouping is a topic for another post, but kinda relevant to the scenario that just popped into my head.
While sitting on my back deck and enjoying a summer breeze, I logged into the app pictured above, and that’s the image that greeted me. Notice the top 3 stories AND the red banner? Yeah, I did to. That got the gears in my head to spinning at about 12,000rpm, well beyond the redline of 10,000rpm. *(Just glad that I didn’t burn my brain down in the process…)

I think you are right … at least in my lifetime and in the history I’ve studied, there has never been such a time before. The populist movement, triggered by immigration as a result of the Arab Spring movement is partly the source, but also climate change, which has also led to immigration as water and food supplies vanish in other parts of the world. I don’t know what this planet will look like in 50 years, and some days … most days … I’m glad I won’t be around to see it.

Yes, our conversation reminded me of the idea of entropy, that all times of growth enter times of deterioration, not a happy theory, but playing out.

If the Republicans looked outside of the USA and saw what happens when one group takes away the rights of another group, then they would back peddle like mad.
No longer a colonial set up. Terrorism is easy to manufature.

I dunno, Roger … they somehow think they are invincible, that what has happened to others cannot happen to them. The sooner they learn otherwise, the better.

No, history won’t be kind to them, but meanwhile … how much damage can they do in the present?
