The jig is up. The mask is off. The diaper has dropped. The con has run its course. We have spun all the way down to a choice between a nonsensical laughing gas bag and a bill-skipping con man.
Thank you for voting for Jill Stein and for ZERO Duopoly Doofusses! (Ohioans will be fighting in the court to get our votes counted for Jill, because... "Democracy" must be preserved. Ugh.)
I beg to differ somewhat with Finkelstein (interview in article) on the possibility of fascism. One thing I agree with him that this is not linked specifically to Trump but the fact that the system is flexing its muscles in an attempt to "disrupt" our lives is more than obvious.
Absolutely, it is a bipartisan scramble to corporate fascism. Trump adds a totalitarian element to it. It will be interesting to see where many of his followers are in a years as the chaos and cruelty of his reign begins to impact them.
"Corporate fascism" (accurate words) means that a President (present or future) is close to being irrelevant. He/she can be tossed out if the script needs more chaos. So I can think the 47th president could even be someone else... when trust in the system is so low - chaos is inevitable, we just don't know where, how and when. In this respect I agree that it will be "interesting" but I wish it won't be.
Firmly knowing a fraud as a fraud is a massive step forward, and not an easy thing to achieve. You know you got it when it puts a smile on your face, even though there is not much to laugh about.
Nothing good is going to come from this๐ซ
Don't agonize, organize. We knew going into this that voting would change nothing.
Absolutely!!!
Good post,tonight, Mark.
Thinking about the future...
Once this election is over,
We all will have a big mess to clean up.
However, this mess will turn common folk against each other.
And the leaders won't miss ont even one meal.
Kinda pathetic, but true all the same
Happy Election-Season-Will-Soon-Be-Over Day!

I had an interesting election day experience I'm going to write up tomorrow.
