A reader asked me if the GOP could reform and reverse the excesses of the Clinton/Obama/Biden Administrations.

They were most unhappy with my answer as I said that the GOP was, to a lesser extent than the progressive communist democrats, complicit in the ongoing charade of current governance. And I did not know what might happen in the future.

The truth, as I see it, is simple and easy to understand...

Those that support the GOP cannot even begin to understand politics unless they are willing to admit that politics is the art of utilizing power to achieve a particular purpose. Something the progressive communist democrats have internalized over the past 70+ years.

In this particular case, the purpose is the perpetuation of the party, the personal and professional advancement of those individuals that support and benefit the party, and to mount an effective defense against those who would assume political power for themselves and their cause.

To this end, the party must maintain an illusion, a perceived state of benevolence over those they govern -- concealing from their constituency the extent of subordination required to govern effectively while balancing individualism against the type of social intervention necessary to maintain security and safety. As well as concealing the extent of malevolent political corruption in the process to keep themselves in office.

Unfortunately, aggression is the true state of nature where the strong overpower the weak, the able reign over the disabled, and in the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

The element of patriotic free will in our nation is declining as apathy increases. Politicians are no longer patriots, they are self-serving professional politicians seeking to earn their living from the "profession" of politics rather than benefiting our great nation. 

Social controls, to combat tacit government-approved violence, crime, and drugs that benefit the judicial system, are being sold like a Mafia member profitably sells protection against the evilness of the Mafia itself. The truth is that government skims its share of criminal proceeds one way or another.

The whole game revolves around perception and distraction from the ongoing catastrophe entombing our nation.

• Do you really give a rat’s ass about Donald Trump’s past sex life while Communist China is buying up America, land and politicians included?

• What are you saying about the poor folks in West Virginia as we decimate the coal industry and pump billions into the pensions of Ukrainian citizens?

• Does anyone care the GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s wealth is based on insider trading and family connections dependent on the Communist Chinese?

• Did the GOP raise a ruckus when McConnell’s wife became the secretary of the Department of Transportation – when the Chao family’s wealth originates from a maritime shipping company with deep ties to Communist China?

Don’t get me wrong, I will support the GOP over the progressive communist democrats, but I will hold my nose when I vote.

The first step back is to tell those who are trying to divide Americans by race, sex, or religion to fuck-off and die!

The only thing I know for sure is that we are being screwed.
