Little Baby Man and Rocket Man have a lot in common. Two sadly-comic, two-bit, tin-pot, Authoritarians way out of their leagues. Upward Fail at the max!
I am on my own private George Orwell jag. Feeling a little bit like Winston Smith: "Winston is a kind of innocent in a world gone wrong..."
Grasping at the straws of Truth: "the body of real things, events, and facts." Grappling with the "two minutes Hate", except in our current Dystopia, it's a Daily 24/7 Hate!
Democracy. How does it Die? A Cascade of Failure: "a process in a system of interconnected parts in which the failure of one or few parts can trigger the failure of other parts."
Electoral System. Media. Political Party. Public Ethics. Morality. Fail. All Fail. Our Little Baby Man President is a "stress test," and well, the stress is killing us.
We are swimming in a Sea of Lies, Paranoia, Propaganda. There is an Authoritarian Strain in good Old USA. A betrayal of everything we supposedly hold dear. One party is in thrall to a Corrupt, Unethical, Extremely Dangerous Leader. "Blind Submission" to the Power.
So much like Putin's Russia. No surprise that Putin assisted our Little Baby Man Tin-Pot Dictator Wanna-Be. How does this end? Need to face up to some basic truths. Stick to hard facts. Tune out the noise. Keep Hope alive in the midst of the bleak darkness.
A reporter asked Little Baby Man why he continually attacks our Free Press. His answer is revealing and chilling. Read it and weep:
"You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all & demean you all so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.” - Little Baby Man
