The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Of course, at the heart of it is mainly privileged, old, white men … but it is reaching new levels of insanity.

First there was this:

The President of the United States said this.

And then the Whitehouse reposted it.

What the actual fuck?

That’s the sort of shit a tinpot dictator would say. Or a criminal.

Which kind-of is perfect given he’s both.

Using lies and excuses to justify his own ego and control.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous, but after basically sending his puppet, Vance, to tell Europe they are a greater threat to the World than Putin … you can see we’re in for a very rough period-of-time. And yet we will continue to see the Republican party back his every move because for all their claims of being ‘American patriots, they will always choose power over truth.

Don’t get me wrong, the Democrats have a lot to answer for all this too given they had years to get their shit together and yet couldn’t be bothered – signaling they were either complete delusionists or egotists.

I’m just waiting for Richard Nixon’s estate to demand a pardon for Watergate under the guise he was simply trying to protect his country and it is only because the rest of the country were too stupid to realise it, that he went down for it.

And if you think that’s not mad enough, then there’s this.

Yep, the Daily Mail – who continue their claims of being a newspaper – wrote this.

Hell, even The Onion wouldn’t try and pull that off, but here we are …

What’s scarier is they’re not even doing it under the banner of ‘alternative truths’ … under Trump, they feel they can just state it as truth.

We not live in a time where we value:

Dogma over facts.
Force over fairness.
Ego over consideration.

Which begs the question, ‘what the fuck is the point of having strategists these days, when anyone can just say or do whatever they want?’ Same with market research. Then there’s more important shit like scientists and law.

Of course we are, in some way, all complicit to allowing this situation to happen.

It wasn’t something overnight, it has been building up for years and years.

I just hope that the wake-up button isn’t what has been required in the past … not just because I don’t want even more suffering, but because I don’t want to see countless posts on Linkedin from people saying:
