Hiding in the Shadows

Who is the really dumb one, the T-Pub candidate that says immigrants from Mexico are rapists or the base of voters of the T-Pub party placing him in a very high ranking to become the nominee for the T-Pub party? Who is really the idiot, oblivious to the way the real world works, the candidate claiming working longer hours and longer into your life is a form of true job creation or the billionaire puppet masters promoting yet one more “let them eat cake” candidate? Who is really the idiot the candidate who insists that only Jesus’s law can prevail in permitting the marriage of same-sex couples or the hundred of thousands “don’t mess with Texas” voters allowing him free reign to practice religious fascism? Who are we to really fear, the monsters or the people who have created them?

We become so agog, aghast, amazed when men and women in office or running for office insist that even though they are not doctors they believe that a 20 week abortion ban is the correct medical advice for women. We become concerned when these same people insist they may not be scientists but one thing for certain is climate change is not happening at least not on the Earth Jesus’s dad created.We become irritated that even though they are not historians, there is simply no way these band of politicians think the Confederate Flag was ever used as a symbol of slavery let alone Racism. We ruminate as those seeking nomination for president from the T-Pub party laugh at the idea black lives might matter, the mere idea of separation between church and state, that this nation was really never founded by immigrants. But then who is THE fool, the guy or gal who get away with selling snake oil, or the consumer, ever ready to buy a gallon or two of it?

Look closely at the men and one woman who want to become president from the T-Pub party, listen how they always avoid words like inclusion, equality, fair and freedom. Watch as they pander to those who still believe dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark, nothing in the universe is older then 6000 years, women were created from a rib of Adam and thus are the property of men, the Constitution is not a substitute for the Bible, the NRA, billionaires and pollution were prophecies of Jesus. Are we to chastise a very smart group of wanna be presidential candidates savvy enough to market swarm and slime to the lowest denominator of ignorant and bigoted minds. OR should we really start worrying about the viewers of FOX, Limbaugh radio, the Mama Grizzlies, the Open Carry crusader and the white robed mobs of men and women who have been granted to hate openly? We think we should fear the monster we see and hear, but anyone who enjoys true horror movies knows the scariest things always hide in the shadows!
