Take a long hard look at your city. Has it changed? And if it has, has it changed in a positive way? Do you recall any of your city leaders or local media standing up for you when your company pensions and affordable health insurance were cancelled in a great Washington sellout to globalization? Maybe you have watched local industry disappear one by one like Indian nations in the old west. Perhaps as an older average citizen you are saddened that your children are beset by an ideological manifest destiny that transforms them from individuals to human infrastructure. Does your city act in good faith or as that line in the Bob Dylan song Positively 4th Street, does it just want to be on the side that it thinks is winning?
Is your city a college town, dominated by that college? Has the administration of that school acted in a way that has tarnished the reputation of the town and made its inhabitants look like hicks and rubes that just don’t know any better? The conduct of the college has turned the town into the Polish joke of the state on a national scale even though the town’s beauty and charm made it the site of a famous movie in 1995. Does anyone in the city even know who Caitlin Marriott and Anne Huot are?
The local media? Has the city’s newspaper distinguished itself as a staunch defender of press freedom or is it just a propaganda shill for the side it thinks might win? The city has its own broadcast podium with an Open Mic program. It’s 5,000 watts of embarrassment that sounds like someone strapped a coat hanger to a water tower somewhere and decided to have a radio station. It is straight out of Hooterville.
The people of the United States watch in disbelief as their president is kept on a short leash, so he won’t turn his back on reporters and wander into a maintenance closet with a piece of toilet paper stuck his shoe. This is the man city leaders and local media are behind in an ill-advised charge of the light brigade to fundamentally change American society. Unloaded supply ships sit in harbors, fuel prices are soaring, and caravans of replacement voters are swarming unprotected borders during a global pandemic.
In a place where people die in the woods from opioids, city leaders have made their choice. If you agree with this choice, don’t change a thing.
