old man 76's JournalIs it impossible?
Today I read that Trump will bar Muslims from entering The U. S. and all Muslims in this country must be registered. I suspect a lot of people will agree because of terrorist attacks. Bill O’Reilly claims that Democrats are trying to undermine the white establishment. These possibilities make me wonder how long will it be before people supporting climate change, women’s rights and a host of other progressive issues will be considered un-american therefor subversive and banned; even to the point of criminal prosecution. Suddenly the bill of rights no longer applies if it conflicts with the agenda the government is pursuing. All citizens, regardless of being liberal or conservative, will be forced to accept new rules set by those who are in power. Sounds impossible, but think about it. Even a post like this could lead to a knock on my door.
An Opinion
Let me say first that this is just my option not based on facts. Has Trump struck a deal with Vladimir Putin? Simply we stay out of your plan to rebuild the Soviet Union and you stay out of our plan to break China. This may sound absurd but I wonder.
The Republican Policy
I am an old man. Over the years, I have lived border to border and coast to coast. No matter the location, the core Republican policy has never changed, take care of the money and everything else can take care of itself. This means an end to Social Security, Medicare, public education, welfare safety nets and all regulations unless they benefit capitalistic interest. They are supported by people who don’t want government telling them what to do. Of course, these people will use these programs in many ways and never connect the fact that they are being helped by the government. I cannot decide if they are stupid or just hard headed. Even sadder is they will suffer from loss of these programs and allow the wealthy people and corporations to become stronger at their expense. Every time someone tells them I have a plan that will make times great again, trust me, the good conservatives will vote for that person. Remember the X Files? I want to believe that is the conservative reasoning. It always has been that way, is now and, I guess, it always will be. Have a great holiday season and we will hit it again next year.
