One Question

Trump is a fascist. Let’s be honest. Let’s be straightforward. Let’s not mince words. Trump and those who follow in his footsteps, turn the other cheek, act like sycophants, allow his insanity, support his lies and debaucheries are simply soldiers of fascism. They are cowards. They are ignorant if not stupid.

They do not make up the majority in any way, shape or form. They are not to be reasoned with for they lack the very thing that could save them. They are those infamous that look for easy answers and revenge. Their problems are other’s problems. They are not at fault.

Politics will not save the rest of us from these people and conversation is impossible. And so what? What now? There is only one question left to ask:

What kind of a world do you want to live in?!”

Fight

Fight! Do what you can to fight the siren of empty societies led by even more empty-headed morons and malicious malcontents. Fight the ever-ending push towards more, towards ease, towards all those concepts and things that suck life from you.

We all know what these ideas and things are. We believe them without reason. We hold them in our hands. As our brains rot we call the rot progress. Truth dies, but so do we. Both, slowly but certainly.

Fight! Don’t lose hope among the helpless. It has always been this way. There have always been those who cannot think for themselves. There have always been those who are lost and call themselves found. There have always been the delusional, the diluted, the satisfied. They are the tribe.

But there have always been the warriors of the world. They have often been quiet and secluded. They have often been looked over but they are the giants upon which the world rests.

Why?

Why do Americans support an obviously fascist regime such as Donald Trump’s Republicans? This question is one that is asked more and more both by Americans and to me as an American in Europe.

“The Answer is complex.” I answer. “It is important to remember that American can be defined in large part by the drive for profit, personal benefit, and fear. There are no safety nets in America and America is in large part a theocratic society. Religion and money. One makes empty promises and the other gives false hope. And so what is left is fear because deep down Americans know that what they believe, whether it is religious or social, is not, in fact, true.”

“Add to that,” I continue, “Americans want to be, they strive to be independent in the true sense of the word. The American story is based upon rough and ready independence. But the fact is that such independence is and always has been a fantasy. So why do any Americans support Donald Trump? Because he offers easy answers based on empty promises, false hope and fantasy.”

Donald Trump and his minions are cheap. Truth is expensive.
