\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve posted a number of things about trump on this blog<\/a> and several of them concerned when he would be GONE. Rob predicted June 23. A tarot reading in May seemed to back up that it would be SOON. We were wrong. But I’m hopeful about the prediction from astrologer\u00a0 Alex Miller.<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s now July 4, and trump is\u00a0 still in power, doing his usual twitter storms about CNN as fake news, that an MSNBC host was bleeding from a facelift, that everyone is against him, etc etc. And that\u2019s the whole thing with trump. A huge etc. to be continued in tomorrow\u2019s tweet and the tweet the day after and after and on into who knows when the congress wakes up and even the radical right republicans realize this man is flat-out nuts.<\/p>\n

Trump isn\u2019t a president. He\u2019s a joke. A travesty. He\u2019s the ultimate trickster archetype that could turn this country into a dictatorship if he manages to usurp the other branches of government that are supposed to provide checks and balances. But one thing trump does well is to change the narrative by doing or saying something outrageous. I don\u2019t think this happens because he\u2019s particularly intelligent. I think it happens because he has an instinct for media hype.<\/p>\n

During the campaign, he didn\u2019t have to spend a dime to get coverage; television obliged him because they didn\u2019t think he could win and hey, he was good for ratings. The Trumpster, doing his silly thing night after night, igniting the pissed off masses. Ha. So silly. But the ratings went up.<\/p>\n

And then, gasp, he won, probably because of Russian hacking, but who knows if we\u2019ll ever get the full, true story on any of that. The democrats are not blameless in all this. Once upon a time, they really did represent the people, the conscience of a country. They passed terrific social legislation that actually helped people. But somewhere along the way, they became beholden to their donors, their base, <\/em>and lost sight of the fact that the 21st<\/sup> century demands a new paradigm.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>For years, I was a registered independent. When Obama ran in 2008, I changed to the Democratic party so I could vote in the primary. Rob and I waited hours to hear him and Biden speak that year. I had watched his speech at the Democratic convention in 2004 and knew he was it, the candidate for 2008. Obama wasn\u2019t perfect. But he was presidential, <\/em>smart, savvy, and an incredible orator whose words moved me. He governed well for eight years. Our country prospered. Sure, he made mistakes \u2013 his health care stuff, for instance,\u00a0 set the bar too low. He should have gone for Medicare for all. But he was up against an intractable republican congress.<\/p>\n

By contrast, when I hear trump speak, I nearly puke.\u00a0 I can\u2019t stand looking at this orange man with his bulk, his crassness, his corrupt cabinet. This guy belongs in prison. And yet, if he goes and we get Pense, then we may be headed for The Handmaid\u2019s Tale,\u00a0<\/em><\/a> based on Margaret Atwood’s brilliant Dystopian novel where a handful of white men in back rooms (SOUND FAMILIAR?) decide the fate of an entire society.<\/p>\n

And so, on this 4th<\/sup> of July, symbolic of our country\u2019s independence, I\u2019m left with a weighted heaviness in my heart, that we\u2019re pretty much screwed as a country unless something changes and fast. Where are Will Smith and Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum from Independence Day?<\/em> This invasion of trump and his idiots are as alien as it gets to the concept of democracy and freedom.<\/p>\n

Trump’s presidency tests our constitution. Will we survive as a democracy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
