anything you can do

“Anything you can do, I can do better.
I can do anything better than you…”
“Anything you can be, I can be greater.
Sooner or later I'm greater than you…”
“Anything you can buy, I can buy cheaper.
I can buy anything cheaper than you…”
“Anything you can wear, I can wear better.
In what you wear I'd look better than you…”(Anything You Can Do/Irving Berlin)

So intimidated by real events, smart people, women or men who actually accomplished triumph and success using their real skills and talents, and not their parent’s inheritance, or position of power to become a leader…so scared of truth, and the function of facts as a foundation for honesty, instead using fiction to enhance the hum-bug and hubris…so terrified that the scam, the snark, the sinister, the shell may be breached, and all that is left to view are the abhorrent abominations of an abysmal load of baloney and bullshit…Trump lingers like a Troll in the wretched woods of broken promises, the pomposity of prose, and deranged delirium of dismal dreams…there have always been WALLS in this man’s life, those built on purpose to keep out the perceived bogyman, the REAL DONALD TRUMP, from EVER seeing the light of day. It is the shadows, he seeks, the shadows which betray what is real and what is only imagined!

Trump has threatened his elementary school/his college/his graduate university to NEVER produce records of his less than average abilities to be educated…Trump befriends the bully, hoping that if he hangs around enough tough guys, he too will be perceived as tough, realizing that tough is not achieved through moral strength but the ability to deny and destroy the will of others…Trump is so threatened by Barack Obama, he insists that any action, any policy, ANYTHING said or done by a well-educated, compassionate human ( and of all the nerve a man of color), be stopped no matter the consequences for anyone not named Trump. Trump has committed so many indiscretions, immoral, and illegal behavior he is easily the stooge chosen by much smarter people to play the part of the puppet…

But the scariest and most bizarre of events is just how willing a group of people has become in ignoring all that is evil and admiring all that IS evil. Where do we go, when the road ahead seems to be blocked by Americans ready establish a second Civil War, enable an authoritarian despot to gain more power, and to ignore the mere fact that no matter how much they have decided that racism and bigotry are now the American dreams, they too, eventually will be thrown under the bus and become the dreaded OTHER!
