I can find a thousand different version of this gif. Some even come with morphed faces indicating present members of our government. None of it holds the impact of the reality we are witnessing day to day. Trump is effectively destroying US credibility for the next few decades. It get’s worse. Now the folks on Fox News are batting around the idea of ‘reclaiming’ the word Nazi like we black folks did with the N-word. The absurdity of the comment cannot be explained–only witnessed. Behold:
Nah, son.
They are fully tripping. Of course, this will be spun into a joke and the burden placed on the viewer for not seeing it as such. Regardless. I saw what I saw. I know what I know. We are entirely losing the shape of this thing. Be it these ridiculous comparisons or Trump’s now weekly threats ranging from Tariffs to firing the fed chair that destabilize the stock market every single time we are losing it. Some people are profiting from it greatly.
Some are profiting from the quick destruction of the country I was raised in. All of this only further proves that we are down to a situation where every four to eight years the country will be remade. At the very least the following period of 4-8 will be spent undoing the damage of the last administration. This is the definition of spinning our wheels. Only we are spinning them in mud and only getting deeper. We cannot get out of this without help.
There is no other country capable of helping.
I’m not leaving yet. I have much to do, both professionally and in terms of family. When that is done the Lady and I will either find some small less-impacted corner of the USA or we will move on entirely. The world is moving on, so perhaps we should as well.
