The news feed on FB is raining, pouring, shit-storming with news articles that are scaring the bejeezus out of me and a lot of other folks. Many people are expressing shock and horror at what is happening re: The Prez. Seems a lot of people are in shock, and are responding with appropriate concern and outrage. Some people are in denial of how serious a situation is precipitating. I'm an opinionated old cuss, but no opinion seems to be the right one. I hate being irresolute, and right now, it's fucking near my middle fucking name.
So how crazy and how dangerous is our new leader? News articles are saying a narcissistic personality with the nuke codes could push the button on impulse, or out of spite, or, for more conservative maniacs, on the basis of a long standing grudge. It's being suggested Trump could be Mr. WW3 or maybe the catalyst for a domestic quarrel severe enough to fill Rose Lawn a thousand times over. He may be Simon in a Simon Says game of industrial pollution, if he turns the EPA into a permissive little sewing circle. It's looking like protesters could be jailed, or harmed, or killed for making a fuss in public. The recent arrest of some journalists covering the protests isn't encouraging.
One article said that according to the Constitution, the president can't be prevented from firing a nuke at anyplace on the globe. So it says, once he gives the order, the military is duty bound to obey the order. Unless there is some type of unknown-to-the-public safe guard, something 'witchy' perhaps, maybe something drastic, like an emergency injection of Haldol, or a forced hospitalization, e.g. News Flash, Our Prez Is Real Sick, Had To Be Rushed To Mt. Sinai, the straight jacket is his idea, it's just a fashion statement, maybe the world is in imminent danger.
Returning to the matter of personal indecision, anxiety, concern, I'm wondering if there is anything Johns and Janes Q. Public can do. Should we, as citizens, make it our collective job to support an unstable and dangerous ego? Should people protest, en mass? Should people adopt political neutrality, and concentrate on their knitting? Much as public protest may be appropriate, it could be a useless disaster if Trump takes to mass homicide or incarceration. Perhaps everyone should limit discussion to food, family and any philosophy that omits presidential politics. I might have to resolve the matter by simply clamming up and toeing the line. Or by writing about the subject of presidential politics while otherwise clamming up. Discussion isn't likely to have a positive effect. At wit's end. Cheers.
