I feel like I just woke up from a nightmare. One of those nightmares that when you wake up from it you have to check yourself to make sure that you’re actually not still in it. You’re exhausted from it though. It was one of those nightmares where you didn’t actually sleep, you worked, fought, gave it your all, and when you finally woke up, you’re beyond tired from all the chaos you went through when you were asleep.
Maybe you make a cup of coffee and sit back and reflect what you just went through, and in part try to examine what you gained from having such a nightmare. And that is where I am right now. What we were put through in the last 3 or 4 months by Republican media, polling firms, and Republicans themselves, was brutal. They remind me of those times when we were kids and we did something wrong and you had to wait until your father got home, and boy was he going to get the belt, and maybe this time it was going to be served a lot harder.
You sit all day thinking that tonight it will be bad. You ponder all the excuses you are going to give for why you shouldn’t be punished, but knowing that each excuse only makes things worse. You ask yourself why you must endure this punishment, what was so bad about whatever you did that made things the way they were going to be later? Yes, those bad days are still relevant in our structure of living with such parents who sought to punish us for our bad decisions.
Republicans are by and large the punishers. They love to give pain. The revel in it. It’s not that we did anything wrong as dems, it’s just how they are built. And the pain they gave us, the people, in the last few months was terrifying to say the least. They lived for every moment they were going to take power and punish all their perceived enemies, those on the left, liberals. Their highlights were revenge fantasies. They were going to unleash vengeance on those they hated. And we came this close to seeing just how bad that could be for our country. In a way, these people are demons, if you even believe in such things. They are the type of people that live to hurt others, to control others, to get their sick and twisted fantasies realized.
Fascism is like that, it doesn’t just go away either. It builds on successes, and even when it losses it still wins, incrementally.
I am shocked that voters would even vote for people like Herschel Walker or Marjorie Taylor Greene. Yet they do. And even when it gets close to them losing they don’t just go away and call it a day. No, they plot and plan and scheme on how to come back next time, only stronger. It’s a sickness, which is why I liken them to demons.
While others are cautiously celebrating their wins, victories and near misses, comfortable in the warm glow that they didn’t lose or actually gained here and there across the board. I know one thing, and that is they, the Republicans, aren’t over and done. Those who lost will continue to build on their bases biases and mistrust of the system. They will still feed their base, as we give them oxygen to continue it on social media and mainstream media with covering them for everything they say. They will scream and rant and accuse and demand and never really go away. They will start telling people to beware of next time, for next time it’s no mercy. That is what demons do.
We may have been saved by God or the Angels or Fate or whomever we believe in, but it’s not time to relax, for the demons are not dead nor are they going away. In actuality we have been give one of those precious resources we have, and that is TIME. And we need to use that time to figure out ways to bring these cults to an end, to cast out these demons from our consciousness. I liken this to the time Hitler almost took power before he was jailed and wrote Mein Kampf.
When he got out of jail, he was soon in power. We have about the same amount of time left. I am sure when Hitler was jailed people thought, oh yeah, he’s done, over with, we don’t have to worry about those people anymore. And they started to relax, life was good, the line was held, and people could go on about their lives knowing that the Hitler nightmare was over. However, that nightmare was not over, it was in fact just beginning. And that is where I see we are at this point. Fascism is not dead, it’s in vogue. It’s not accepted everywhere yet, but it could be soon. We may have held off the barbarians at the gate this time, but they are not going away.
They will stay where they are and build, and social media and mainstream media will still cover them, and give them power by giving them oxygen for their demonic fantasies that they hope to unleash upon this country and the world. If we relax, we will eventually lose. They play the longterm game, while we play the cover your ass at the last minute short game. Thus, we must remain vigilant. We must always be working on strategy to defeat their longterm plans. We, and the world, cannot afford to get much sleep. For they are working 24 hours a day 7 days a week probing our weaknesses and devising ways to take over our world. A few bullet points on what we just learned below:
- Polling firms cannot be trusted. They are all either bought and paid for or total bullshit. None of us can predict the future based on past performances. The future is fluid, it can change on a dime, making polling prognosticators totally useless.
- Republicans flood the zone with lies about how they are winning everywhere, and will win the day. They play psychological games to make us lose hope.
- One month prior to election day they use every tool in their toolbox to make us give up, quit, walk away from voting.
- Major Media are propaganda accomplices to Republicans, they give them all the oxygen while making dems look weak by not covering their messages or cutting away from coverage making dems look as if they don’t matter. You can see it on how they framed every Republican rally. They were high energy, performative, while dem rallies were seen as low energy, almost without any real energy at all in the way they filmed it.
- Republican rallies were covered by major media to make them look like winners and having huge crowd sizes of enthusiastic supporters, while also refusing to turn the cameras around to look at the actual crowd reality, where crowd sizes were almost nil and looked like most attending were uninvolved.
- Accountability needs to be a priority. Those who were a part of sedition need to be held to account. The law needs to be followed, and that bullshit about no one is above the law needs to be shown. The time is over for waiting. The people demand accountability. For you can’t say there is justice if elites are allowed to get away with breaking every law on the books. If dems don’t get off their collective asses and hold these criminals to account, then next time you need them to vote for you they won’t be there.
- Stop falling for Republican liars when they say they have won before an election, know that this is a total complete lie. Media needs to start covering their lies on a daily basis, and start calling them out on every lie they tell. If they continue to lie, stop covering them. That being said, if dems do the same thing, they too need to be held to account for their lies. This isn’t bothsideism, this is just the way it is. We need to realize that these are politicians, they will at times say anything to get elected. We need to hold all of them to their promises, and quit allowing them to say that the other side won’t let them do what they promised to do.
- Fascism isn’t dead, it’s growing. Humans are the problem. They easily fall into tribes, cults and brainwashing. The firms, organizations, and dark money groups that commit these heinous acts need to be broken up, their assets seized, and their leaders thrown into jail if they are using any of those tactics to build a cult around them.
- Education needs to be a priority for all, not just the chosen few. Cults are the product of stupidity, if people are given tools, education, and a chance to achieve success, they will not be easily trapped into cults or be easily brainwashed by them. We need to build out deprogramming centers where people that are in these cults or are susceptible to them are deprogrammed and cut off from them.
- Congress needs to start legislating and stop acting as if they are celebrities and living like they are the cats meow. If we elect these people they need to be legislating for the people and not for themselves.
- We need a fair and balanced judiciary, we need to take out politics from justice. It needs to be a fair system. It can’t be a system that holds only the people to account, while those that lobby or are part of the corporate system are allowed to set laws for themselves that gives them a get away with anything free pass. In other words, just because you are running for office doesn’t mean you get a get out of jail free card if you are doing it criminally. No more we have to wait until an election is over before we can apply the law to criminal politicians.
- We need to take money out of the system of politics. The federal government should allow for each side to have a small amount of money to campaign on and that is it. No more corporate giving and corporations are people too, and all that bullshit. Candidates should get a stipend to run on and use it wisely and that is it.
- Billionaires and the elites should be denied access to the political system. No more buying off politicians for access or for greedy intentions later. Politicians should be first and foremost civil servants, and not there to get paid large sums of money and golden parachutes after they leave office.
- All media, be it social, mainstream or otherwise, needs to be out of politics and pushing false or misleading narratives on the public airwaves. Be that cable, national or even local news, all media should be allowed to do is cover a campaign and keep their biases out of it. No more pandering to a base.
- Spreading false narratives and stories to support any side should be banned. Regulations should be setup whereby no media can push out narratives that support one side or the other. Fox News should be disbanded and taken apart, and if they want to continue they should no longer able to say they are news. They are only entertainment, and they even say this when held to account. They claim no one should believe they are news when they aren’t. But people believe them because they come off as news.
- Rupert Murdoch and the rest of that family should be thrown out of the country for spreading Russian propaganda. Add to it, all Russian news in this country should be banned entirely, not just labeled Russian State Media, but thrown out, and those that push it should be deported to Russia and never allowed back into America.
This could go on of course, but I digress. Suffice it to say that this nightmare has pretty much come to an end for now, but much like any nightmare, they do tend to come back. We are never going to be free from having nightmares, this is part of the human condition. This particular nightmare will require a few days of reflection, and some time to heal from the abuse that was heaped onto us from these sick and twisted Republicans. But, we shall come back after reflection and rest and continue the fight. We may all have nightmares to fear, but we also have hope that strengthens us. That hope is also everlasting. We must remain vigilant, and we must take this precious time we’ve been given to study and educate ourselves for the battles ahead.
