We have been duped, sucked in, brainwashed and fucked.
24/7 Trump TV is killing us.
Trump is the triumph of the corporatist infotainment reality TV oligarchy media complex. He was created by the media through the nihilistic dog eat dog reality TV world where nastiness, stupidity, cheating, lying and deceit are rewarded with TV ratings and ad revenue.
The network heads salivated when he announced his candidacy and orgasmed when he ascended to the throne.
Who cares that his narcissistic sociopathic nihilism is now a few feet away from a button that can destroy the world? His chaos, his tweets, his bombascity and shear stupidity has mesmerized us all. We see the path of irreparable destruction this self avowed pussy grabber is causing and have been rendered helpless to act.
The media oligarchy is feeding us opinion, innuendo and speculation that somehow Magic Mueller will solve all our problems via a corrupt and ossified legal and constitutional system that requires men and women of integrity and conscience to enact.
That somehow a legal and political legal system after 40 years of Reagan conservatism has brought us nothing but historical revisionism; and elected officials willing to look the other way as sexual molesters and child sexual predators are supported as long as an agenda serving the oligarchs is carried out @ the expense of the rest of us.
Trump is now on all the channels all the time including the Christian Broadcasting Network that I'm sure if you dig back to his so called "liberal" days, you can find that they saw him as an anti-christ and a devil worshiping demon.
Trump feeds the cable news networks as there is never a quiet time -- even @ 4 in the morning the mother fucker is tweeting nonsense and explosive written diarrhea.
So the network heads laugh all the way to the bank. They really don't give a shit what they've done to us and the world. They both regale him and vilify him nonstop.
And we are snookered into watching -- vicerally reacting to every stupid piece of shit he does or says.
So it's time to stop watching this virtual coliseum spectacle. It's time to just let the Mueller probe do it's business, and time to focus on the coming election in 2018.
And time for us to support both financially and with our bodies organizations as ACLU, SPLC, the uniuons, the women's, LGBTQ, indigenous people, prop net neutrality, conservation, etc. that are on the front lines trying to hold back the Trump tsunami until maybe we can get back to logic, reason, compassion and empathy before these attributes are lost to us forever.
When we do, without a constant audience, and failing ratings, the corporate infotainment media will be forced to cover other issues and events; and maybe Trump will just shrivel up and melt like Margaret Hamilton in the Wizard of Oz.
I know it's going to be hard. Trump is an opiate. But the worst kind. I'm in the process of trying to build the energy to go cold turkey.
Or to @ least get out of the Russia rut and focus on the real horrible destruction he's doing to health care, education , the economy, women and LGBTQ rights, the environment ad nauseam.
