Pablo Picasso’s The Weeping Woman. Painted in 1937 depicting what has been described as Universal pain. One image of a series considered to be a continuation of the Guernica, Picasso’s epochal mural of the pain and horror of war, specifically the Spanish Civil War.
Rending of cloth and gnashing of teeth can be heard from the “right” side of life. The calamity! Raised fists and sworn determinton to see the wrongs righted. The whining and moaning has begun, steam rolling through the internet and copied by the most mainstream of papers and tv stations. The outrage over a legal search and perhaps a seizure of the sought after “gizmo”. With patience we’ll find out more about the reality of what has happened.
In the meantime, speculation and accusations by the liars who seem to lie as their living although paid by all US citizens. Are we really confused about the antics of the last years? The only question seems will Orange Mussolini be convicted this time? THIS TIME?!
What frosts me is all these guys and gals have had the same education as you and me. Addition in the first grade. Chemistry in high school. Learning to write and read. Superman comics. Superman movies. American Pie the one with apples and the other ones too. They are lying and they know they are. All in service to the man who had the push to open the door. He will be gone sooner or later and then the movement the coup that has never stopped will still be in place. It is a cult of personality but that is a lie too. It will morph with the help of the liars that are protected by the media and the social platforms that will not ban their accounts. They have chosen not to ban accounts that clearly abuse and break all the user rules.
It’s time to stop this fascist movement and those that support it. Anyone still squeamish to call the Republicans what they have embraced? SCOTUS, the latest about the FBI admitting the Kavanaugh vetting was what? Never done properly. Stop them all as we simply couldn’t before. There weren’t enough people who saw this clearly. There weren’t enough instances to see their motives and moves clearly enough. They have chosen this route and like drunk children with the car keys they must be derailed. It’s no accident. They choose to lie. They know it is a performance. Whatever lie they are telling themselves is laced with money to make it easier to handle. They manage a normal appearance in public. Rudy excluded.
Every article you read, ask yourself questions. Who is looking good here? Opinion or fact? Actual facts or pretend ones? Who’s making money from what’s being described. Does the article create clarity or generate more questions. Fifty Senators voted no on the recent important bill. They’re toying with the notion of scrapping social security. Can these really be a straight faced debate?
As a supporter of many things not always popular, it’s been hard. The canary in the coal mine? Good nutrition, clean air and water, women’s reproductive rights, I’m still in support of those things and more. I was on the correct side of those debates in the 1960’s and 1970’s and I’m the correct side now. Stop fascism. Call it what it is. Be bold now so the generations to come will have the rights we are enjoying. Let them also be smart and bold and educated if they have to stem the tide again. Call the spirit of our fathers, grandfathers and uncles. The women who also enlisted and worked in factories and the whole populations that rationed and scrimped to fund the war effort. Call on the same spirit that inhabits the people of Ukraine. Don’t give our country away to the Trumpists and MAGA Nazi’s. They call themselves domestic terrorist and applaud the thoughts of Viktor Orban and Putin. They tattoo swastikas on themselves. Tell them “no” and all who “both sides” issues in print and television. Push back on the Opinion Section of the Washington Post and the NY Times when a writer wants the FBI defunded for executing a lawful warrant. Write comments on the articles. Don’t block people on Facebook, tell them what is wrong with their thoughts.
They would have you think there is a war coming tonight. They would have you think there is a Trump presidential run in 2024. The lies are big, and the there are lies that are small. They are designed to control through fear and intimidation. We fear the things most that are unlikely to happen. Fear the coup. It is happening in plain sight. It is real but delivered in ketchup spattered flags. Push back. See them for who they really are. Vote.
