Did Nero fiddle as Rome burned? Or did he set the blaze? (BTW, there is no support for the second question). Photo provided by google.
Remember the comic, that pretending to be a toddler yelling “ma, ma, ma, ma,” annoying everyone. Funny? A little. In real life? Not so much. That’s how I see DeSantis and Abbot and disgraced former POTUS.
The time wasting projects they all seem to be engaged in was time, money and the damage done to people seems immaterial to them all. People are pawns, collateral damage. To be disregarded. These three are haters. They hate immigrants, women and people of any color. Orange good?
We have observed this awful behavior for years as it escalates and dares us to do something. Today Joe Biden gave a speech about evil. Yeah. Evil. He called it by name and said there is no place in our country for it. There isn’t. Evil is secrets, it’s game playing. Evil lies and dares you to respond as it balls up a fist in waiting. Evil comes in a package of domestic terrorism and stealing whether it is an election or a woman’s rights.
Joe said evil will be defeated. It will. Evil and the creepy crawlies will become dormant once again not because Joe wills it but because it is the nature of the world. We will have to make the heroic effort as was made somewhat recently in WWII. Ukraine is proving that people with love of their county can fight, get battered and horribly bruised but can prevail. Be inspired.
We are not in Ukraine. We are here. We are under attack but it’s not with bullets. Like the “Ma, Ma” irritating chant, it can feel like a terrible assault and it is. It’s psychological and can lead to violence, to be sure.
With the relatively small number of true MAGA and Proud Boys and other cult highly armed folks there will not be violence in the streets, unless. Unless, there are enough small fires to set a blaze.
This observer thinks the seemingly pointless performances have a higher purpose. Tear at the fabric of society and irritate the crap out of the population in general. They seem high on themselves. High on power and perhaps as the Infamous Furher, high on drugs.
