The world is crazy.
Or maybe not. Maybe we just feel more on edge because our President is making sure to dominate the news cycle with full blown crazy. He is full blown crazy–so far as megalomania can be described as crazy. I’m not a fan. I am also not a fan of his dude Roger Stone who was recently caught on a hot mike saying, “I don’t want to argue with this negro” and then moments later denied saying any of it. He did. Normally his saying it would be accepted as fact due to the fact of having it on tape, but in this world of alternative facts we are expected to believe whatever reinforces what we already believe or have been told to believe.
So, we are in the time of the science fiction I grew up with.
Beyond the psychosis of the political realm and how it applies to what we are dealing with on the ground, we are dealing with the Coronavirus. It is a real thing folks. California is shutting down the schools for face to face for the fall. Yet we are still going ahead with such things here in AZ.
What scares me most of all is that these are not informed decisions. I have been steadily tracking the news networks and Foxnews.com and OAN no longer cover the coronavirus. If they mention it at all it is usually to praise Trump’s response or take a dig at Fauci (which is gross). Contrast that with Reuters who has a steady tracker at the top of the page daily. So, because it isn’t in the news folks are starting to believe it isn’t a problem. It is. We don’t have a way to stop it.
That is where we are at. This is the reality we face. We have a lot of soul searching to do before we get out of this…
