Reality TV as many of us with some heartbeat of an IQ realize is anything but real. But in the 20 tens of America it has taken on a semi real life and its appeal is rather striking. Many of us will admit with a shot of something alcoholic that we do indulge our guilty pleasures in watching something on BRAVO or TLC, and some of us will actually be brave enough to admit that “I know it is scripted but there is actually true love to be found on Bachelorette (GAG!) We watch pregnant girls find out they are pregnant, Sarah Palin give a lesson on her version of history of the United States while standing on her back porch in Alaska. We watch every kind of hick, hillbilly preach to us that it is God’s will to be stupid, and they are stupid because God told them so, and we pretend that FOX News is news and not a channel of pure propaganda. Stars who do nothing but demonstrate a pair of boobs or ass crack are diva’s and women dream to be just like them. We love to watch a sudden barroom fights with men so mesmerized by their own bodies pretending that they care about the babe hanging on their arms. Talent shows are judged by people who have no talent except that they sell a whole lot of magazine space. But no matter the stupidity, reality TV thrives and somewhere along the way even the more intelligent are lost in the transition from sane to stupid!
How much more perfect then to have Donald Trump enter the race for President. It seems if we dumb down our entire culture why leave politics out of the mess. Now Donald is not the first stupid person to run, he was late in announcing after “God talks to me Huckabee”, my dad says that Jesus told him I was a prophet” Cruz, and “I bet you can’t see the puppet strings on my Koch bought and paid for body”Walker. The Donald loves himself some publicity and as the current fad for most news corporations seems to be less real professional journalism but more sensationalism, Mr Trump is in his glory. Say you hate, say you are against freedom for all shout the most racist, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist bile and you will certainly be embraced by the lovers of Duck Dynasty, 19 Kids and Counting, THE 700 Club and the Sarah Palin pay to play TV channel and you will entice the salivating NRA viewers, all who will swear on a stack of New Testament Bibles that the Earth is 6000 years old, dinosaurs were on Noah’s arc,Jesus would have voted Republican and of course Obama is a Kenyan. Reality TV politics where facts are rewritten to help the dialogue sound more stupid, honesty is removed so as not to offend the most bigoted, and truth can never be told as it might motivate the Rapture to happen sooner.
Reality USA…We have police pretend they are above the law, we have T-Bagging Congressman tell us Roe V Wade, and the same-sex ruling are not the law because it was not Jesus’s law. We find corporations are people, and real people on food stamps are nothing but druggies or drug dealers. The Earth is not warming because the EXXON Mobile bought and paid for scientists said so (so there), no need to label the GMO chemicals on your food because it is too similar to Communist rule and Monsanto has paid too much lobbyist money to the Senate to even consider it. White guys with guns are just a bunch of bad boys anyone of color or non Christian with ammo a terrorist. Government is way to big to repair our infrastructure, but never big enough to handle your lady parts. Church IS state, the Confederacy a legacy rebellion, more guns will make you safer, and the bigger the war machine the better America! Reality America scripted, produced and directed by a bunch of billionaires who think somehow they will not have to breathe polluted air, chemical food is healthy and of course freedom is anything but free!
