Mob Rule
In the mob
you can really be free
just the way
it was meant to be.
In the mob
you can hate, rape
and deregulate
anything you want.
In the mob
you can call treason
concern for a nation
and get away with it.
In the mob
you can break and trash
what you want to smash
and call it courageous.
In the mob,
in a spiffy suit
you can lie and loot
and rule the world.

There’s plenty who see what’s going on.
More today than ever before
but that won’t stop the knee high boot
from kicking down your door.

Unless they don't get enough electoral votes.

The problem I think is we are trying to be rational in an irrational situation. The republicans are a failed party but they’re given legit status by the news media who stand to make millions if they succeed at making it appear like a legit race. It’s a form of mass hypnosis. Classic brainwashing.
So, trying to think rationally and naively i wonder, forgetting there is no rationality, except with the number cruncher. And, guess i am no different from the believers. I see the Twit a certain way and they see the President another way. Yes, all the chaos w/in the party makes ratings go up. on and on. Still, it is hard to believe that so many think He is a savior.
DeleteI am surrounded by the believers...but I had my say in a large mtg. yesterday. As I looked at their faces, i see they didn't have a clue that there may be opposing views other than their own. Did notice them looking at me in a different way, afterwards. I just smile & go on. that's all I can do. Since jumping up & down & telling them their idiot Nazis;-) really wouldn't do much other than make me a target. I like your analogies, all the same.
and p.s. thanks for the Sara MacLachlan turn-on. I'll be listening to her most of the day.
ReplyDeleteBy believers I assume you mean republicans. I'm surrounded by them too but it's my impression they see the Twit more as a change than a savior.
DeleteI believe in the old adage, people get the government they deserve and he very well might be what America deserves.
Luckily I'm already on Social Security and Medicare.
