I am just a few years younger than old Joe Biden. Luckily, I was influenced by frank Shorter in 1972 when he won the Olympic marathon as were millions of others. Because fitness was fundamental to me in the 1970’s I did not poison myself with drugs, alcohol and weed. My brain is wired differently than many citizens and though I have had concussions from thousands of miles of bicycle riding and racing a psychologist has reported to me that my IQ is the same as it was in 1964 when I was tested along with everyone else.
It is just a test and there is controversy over what it actually measures. But it is a good indicator of brain heath and suggests that any deterioration is minimal. As an aging white man and a contemporary new Jew, I know that I must not go quietly. I do have a small amount of Jewish DNA on my mother’s side, but the threat today is not from heredity, it is from politics just as it was in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s.
I voted for Donald trump because it was a way to pencil in “none of the above”. I, like many others, was alert enough to realize that Congress is owned by big tech giants, the pharmaceutical industry, and The People’s Republic of China. I was among those called to meetings in the 1990’s when companies were eliminating pensions and affordable health insurance. I got grandfathered in to all my pensions. You will never get the deal I am getting.
My brain works just fine and when I see something that swims like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I know it is a duck and not what leadership is telling me it is. Leadership has not been my friend and it is not your friend. Donald Trump wants to preserve nationhood over world government and save our constitution.
Unfortunately for many, brain matter has dehydrated, flaked off and floated away in the blood stream. So, Joe Biden speaks the language of growing factions head-slapped with opioids, prescription toxins and booze. Biden is so far gone he is like a cartoon character from loony tune land.
Because big information tech, Twitter, Facebook et al, has control of the narrative, Biden could prevail and that will be the end of democracy here. We will fall like Rome.
This nation will go along and function just fine with Biden at President. In fact, it'll probably be a lot more normal because as history as shown us over the last four decades, after a Republican has gotten done screwing things up, a Democrat comes in and rights the ship. Demographics are shifting away from the Baby Boomers and that scares the living crap out of a lot of them. I can see it in the older Trump supporters who seem to make less sense now than their younger true believers. The US will be just fine. But I'm sorry. Trump's gotta go. His Presidency is a disaster.
This is fallacy. The world is watching because the US is the last true functioning democracy. If we fail by allowing our seditious leadership to install a stooge like Biden then the whole ball of wax is gone and the world will never be the same. The duck swims, walks and quacks.
The problem is not Biden, nor is it Trump. The problems far predate either. It is us. It has always been us. Even when Civics was a required course and the Constitution was taught in detail, nobody liked or dedicated themselves to it.
We don't care what the Constitution says. We decide it means what we want it to mean. I philosopher said that we remake God into our Image, and we do. We decide for God who should be praised, and who should be punished for eternity. We decide who God will forgive, and who will be condemned to hellfire. We decide what God wants, and what God detests. Of course, God loves what we love, and detests what we don't like. When someone says that God does not feel that way, we call them names, because we can't imagine a universe where God does not agree with us 100%. Instead of praying for understanding, and wisdom, we pray that God will strike those down who we know to be sinners, and obviously God would never disagree with us.
We do the exact same thing with the Constitution. We take any right and immediately decide that it does not cover this or that. Freedom of Speech? Of course. But it could never mean all speech. We should ban this, or that. Because the Founders never imagined that freedom of speech could mean that they get to talk. The same is true of everything. We define the rights by the exceptions, and we're always finding new exceptions aren't we? The right to bear arms. Unless you ever committed a crime, or want a scary gun, or want to actually have it with you, or, or. Or. People point out that Felons were allowed to buy guns when they got out of Prison when the Founders passed this Amendment. That doesn't matter, because we decided what they really meant, and who cares what they think anyway. Obviously they intended it to be for the National Guard.
We do it with every right, every single thing in the Constitution is eroded. Instead of Gibraltar, a huge and immensely strong rock as our foundation, we have a sand hill that has been eroded away to nothing. When the Republic Falls, and it will. It won't be the fault of the Left. It won't be the fault of the Right. It will be all our faults, because all of us decided that the Constitution meant what we wanted it to. Like God, we remade it into our image. And we gave ourselves authority to do so. We did it over decades, even centuries, not a single election.
