After Trump’s impeachment acquittal a burning question arises:
When did the United States go from the world’s leading democracy to the Cartoon Network? Normal reasonable people went to bed with the incumbent president comfortably ahead on election eve and woke up the next morning like it was the movie Groundhog Day. An alternate reality greeted them on their television screens that suggested that a senile doddering old crook that could barely speak and did not campaign, got more votes than any human in any election since the beginning of time!
Rod Serling died in 1975 and his series, The Twilight Zone, ended in 1969 but this did not stop permanent Washington from raising him from the grave for one more fantastic and unbelievable episode. Into the wee hours of the morning busy little invisible hands fastidiously counted thousands of mysterious and magical phantom votes that catapulted a candidate that was so bad he could be aptly described as the country’s first example of presidential taxidermy, to a stunning win!
Well, like a lot of Serling’s half hour thrillers, this left a lot of people scratching their heads and feeling more than a little creepy. This creepiness came with a chilling twist. Trump had been antagonizing a powerful leader from the east and right on cue, a big eastern disease began sweeping the world like Stephen King’s Langoliers.
It gets creepier still. Most citizens of average intelligence could easily conclude that the election was rigged in broad daylight by a hostile postal service and corrupt state officials. But some of the electorate was under such a spell of disinformed hateful state propaganda that like rabid animals, they had taken leave of their senses. The propagandized were so thoroughly saturated with a media false reality that a kangaroo court comprised or red-handed culprits finding themselves not guilty of anything was all the proof they needed to declare the bizarre election valid.
But like Groundhog Day the creepiness continued. Impeachment! Impeachment! Impeachment! An angry mob needs to feed in Serling’s horror movie as it would in King’s. Feeling creepy? You should because this horror show is all too real. What was Trump uncovering in permanent Washington that led to a scorched-earth de-structuring of an election system that has been in place since the founding of the republic?
Maybe we should find out before it is too late.
