Tuesday's thoughts


Past republican criticism isn’t sincere, mostly just hate for progressive ideas and government redressing the excesses of capitalism, they like the hard realities of no interventions, the death that ensues, and while they can be quite nice individuals in person, kind and caring to people they meet face to face, they don't trust the government. They have been disappointed, there are examples where they wanted action and none was done, or not the way they wanted it done, and so better not to have any government, throw the baby out with the bathwater. For the life of me I can't understand the perspective, but I am selfish, even though I'm trying to curb that, so I do act in ways that are ancillary to the conservative vision. Ways of drawing out the conservative vision is that people need to be maximally selfish and not taxed, every grubbing cent to the person who has it. OK, maybe roads, but nothing else. Oh well, they do currency and defense. Well, nothing else. Well it turns out that when the conservative whoop up alternatives to the liberal vision, the progressive vision, the leftist vision, democratic vision, they spend money. They preach fiscal responsibility but driving up the debt means democrats can't ramp up entitlements right away. They have ruthlessly gamed the situation, with voter suppression, killing education which leads to greater votes for the left, and outside influence--Russia and China want conservative government because they can then do more grimmey stuff in general and to America. Recently the tech bros have bought the government that is for sale, shitting if you don't give us money. 

So when people say, "I guess the emails didn't matter," referring to Hillary's emails, what they're pointing to is the lack of consistency from the conservatives based on the progressive bias, and that's just not something they're concerned about and most left criticism don't impact the psyche of conservatives, because they want what they want the way they want it, and it doesn't have to make sense to a different political perspective. 

They really didn't care about national security, the alcoholic accidentally text military plans to a journalist. Not a big deal. Progressives notice they would have howled if a democrat did that. 

They didn't care about law and order, that was just a tactic. They didn't really hate Russia, they're just projecting their totalitarian fantasies onto the opposition, and Russia was communist for a time, but more importantly they're totalitarian, which is fine with them, because that's what they want. 

Trump has filled his cabinet with incompetent hucksters like himself, with the intention of wrecking up the place, not governing. Lefties shout, having grown up with republicans obsessed with security their whole lives, suddenly blase about the kakocracy that is acceptable because they hate government anyway. That progressives are upset is a bonus. 

Things just keep getting curiouser and curiouser except the banality of evil isn't fun or interesting, it's just evil wrecking up the place. Not patriotic, and not good.

Trump's vision is that everything is for sale, and he shucks cars when the seig heiling businessman's company starts to fail because he gave him a lot of money, bought him essentially. Both drunk on power and money, with no internal integrity or virtue. 

Due process is only for those who chooses, the constitution is for sale too, what do you want in it, and how much will you pay?
