I wrote, from my perspective, the deciding factor, of who's going to win the presidential election. You basically can throw policies out the window...
It has become clear that primary issues... have opposing slogans...
"Anybody but Trump..."
"Nobody but Trump..".
How did we get there.
There has been party groups that believed.. "Never a Democrat" or "Never a Republican" Throughout our history.. Although they have changed ships often
But recent Democrats never had a real focus on WHO was to become President.. Until Obama.
For many reasons....including George W Bush, the economy, and racial and social injustice.. the election of Obama made a Statement.
Republicans, on the hand, always focused on WHO was to become president.. Who filled their wishes, and more important who could best win.
Their choices of McCain and Romney. Were what they saw to be as compromises.
The results of those elections was that compromises can't win.
The ever growing .."Never a Republican" coalition was gaining traction.. With the advent of the Tea party, Pro-life, anti-immigration, ant- tax, anti-regulation movements and the low road they too. "Never a Republican" expanded be equal the Republican attitude of "Never a Democrat".
That wasn't ..I was neither "Never a Democrat" or "Never a Republican".. I felt I was still in the majority. that those groups, although growing, were too small to have any real impact, and they just balanced each other out.
With the election of Trump things changed.. Being a proponent of Trump change this.. Being a proponent of Autocracy, Indecency, Lies, narcissism, racism, misogyny, elitism, and nationalism all in the name of winning.. wasn't going to cut it for me.. Yet the proponent of Trump refuse to see it. Refuse to let go of Democrats with the one-sided argument of "Never a Republican" .. And Democrats who were proponent s of "Never a Republican".. took the "low road"
The case for "Anybody but Trump" became a real thing..Yet, It was hijacked by "Never a Republican"
AS was "Nobody but Trump"... hijacked by Never a Democrat"
I see... what it seems nobody else can seem to see.. Being a proponent of anything..works in opposition of that thing. Being a proponent of something..always turn into taking the "low road". and the low road always creates more opposition
Nobody seemed to care when Michelle Obama said.. when they take the "low road".. We take the "high road".. that's because NOBODY in a their political nature..KNOWS what the "high road" is..

We are left 2 our own devices determining what people are. Responsibility and accountability identifying oneself is gone...WE shout what we want people 2 think we are...but act the opposite.. IT is a certain freedom, that is in itself an identifier. The Freedom of , collusion, complicity, association, and silence.
You can shout that you are a Patriot, or a Peace protester and support those who are like minded.
But you can't just talk the talk.. You got 2 walk the walk.
IT'S not up , decide who you are. then show ..
I don't choose 2 lead anywhere.. I ask is you Be what you are
I follow you.. 2 the places you go.
Let's first deal with the protester or the criminal.....Which are you? A peaceful protester condones criminality.. Or a criminal condones rioting protests. You can talk the talk, but complicity, association and silence won't cut it..
A PEACEFUL PROTEST THAT CONDEMNS THE ACTIONS OF THE POLICE, AND REFUSES POLICE ITSELF.. ARE ANARCHISTS CONDONING CRIMINALITY..
On the flip side Patriot or Racists.. it far less complicated.. The words peaceful protest and criminality are opposites they are a choice of you are. You are accountable and responsible for which others will label you. You can't be both. IT's hard for a Republican 2 see the What in their is association with racists does, and what it says with their complicity, association and silence..
For Trump supporters can talk the talk, but when IT comes walking the walk.. There is little doubt.. THAT THEIR IDEA OF PATRIOTISM IS RACISM. No doubt, Trump believes himself 2 be the best slave owner of the confederacy.. giving the most 2 HIS slaves. He expects accolades for IT.

Slavery, Racism, Social Injustice and America

I know you can't see it they way i do.....I certainly am not defending slavery not racial injustice..but In America, we are reflected by different times and different social mores.
Social mores are nothing but customs that have been so deep-rooted in any society, that they dictate what is good and bad.
In 1820,a new country was subject to outside takeover...The surety of self preservation had much more to do with economics than morals. It was a world necessities that the richer you were the less likely to be subjugated. It was reflected in the social mores of the time. Slavery was viewed as an economic necessities.. Throughout history, from the Pharoahs to America.. Empires were built on slavery.
It's a truism when Black believe this country was built on their backs. because it was. but as bad as slavery was.. there was rational behind it of survival.
From 1820 to 1920.. the struggle came between economics and morality. Social mores were changing. Although there was blip in radar called the Civil War..the Civil War was a transition point between the Economic argument and the moral argument. It didn't defeat the economic argument it just signified the moral argument was ahead..
The economic argument changed from slavery to social injustice. Blacks may not have been slaves, but the were indentured servants. Kept beneath us.. to do the work of slaves. And again this country was being built on the backs of Blacks and others..
Once that was done in 1920 the economic argument gained some ground.as defined in the social mores of the roaring twenties. Before 1820 the social mores condoned slavery. To 1960 the social more condoned economic freedom... It was this idea of economic freedom in which racism became systematic..
From 1960 til today the argument has changed.. the moral argument totally dominates the economic one. In fact the economic one, holds no ground any more.. Those the choose the economic argument have had a hard time transitioning.. and maintaining the systematic racism of past social mores... They had to battle morals with morals. So they changed what morals are..Morals became worthiness and worthiness become morals
black people could not be moral because they were unworthy. They had a hard defending that.. without expanding it to all people.. All unworthy people are not moral. unworthy defined by race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, and the poor. Black never left the forefront, because that's were they have always been.. but the have been joined by millions of others
We are now.. not confront by systemic racism as the the total picture. but social injustices of all types....have become systematic.
For those people, who believe in systematic injustice.. It's now not economic.. but simply .. If someone is different they are unworthy.
My fear and irony..Is that I believe what goes around ..comes around.

The thing about the DNC. is not so much about policy.. but about TRUTH..This convention wants to show the contrast..not promote the agenda...The contrast of Science and disorder. Facts and fiction, real people and false perceptions, and love and hate..Truth or not, No one at the RNC will express that same things about Trump, and never the same way. The DNC was not a cookie cutter, like the RNC will be...The DNC was a complete dessert line.. Of diversity, and unity, and a broad common purpose.. that Trump and RNC will never know, for them it will be singular, self serving, and entirely about winning through negativity.
The simple truth of Trump making one of his lies or negative comments about others . as his supporters give cheers and chants. And then the smirk and smile that comes over his face is truly telling. He's the who got away.. with this hand in the cookie jar.
I am sure he is smirking and smiling about his campaign, as donations come in.. I just don't understand how anybody can believe him. I am sure many don't believe him, but the true moral hazard to our democracy.. Is to them .. It doesn't matter.
Obama was simply amazing.. I'm not talking about what he said.. I am talking about his presentation.. that was far, far different than any speech he has ever given.
Outwardly he was pretty calm.. but the look on his face, and wetness in his eyes, the facial contortions, Obama was serious, he always is, but this time was different.
He wasn't selling, leveraging, propagandizing, and looking for agreement.
Obvious he and Michelle were on the same page. He expressed it so much more personally and emotionally... It didn't matter to him if you believe him or not, he wasn't out to convince anybody of anything...Because no matter what YOU believe, no matter if you agree or not, no matter if you are Socialist, Progressive Liberal, Moderate, Conservative or Fascist....It doesn't change a thing....
IT IS ...WHAT IT IS.

Trump supporters and Commonality

I keep reminding You i talk about the how, not the WHAT.
The how of the commonality of Trump supporters.
First thing is that Trump supporters say they are different. but in reality they are afraid that people oppose them are exactly like them
Trump supporters don't even think about the What ...they think of the commonality about their How.
Trump supporters believe that the Democrat Party is the home of minorities, illegals, socialist and communists. That supporting the Democrat party is 2 support the takeover of this country..By those people are NOT really Americans.
Their action is based on THE FACT....of America's Changing Demographics...
's based on the fear that "THOSE PEOPLE" are winning.
's based on the fear that Democrats Will marginalize them... just like they marginalize others.
The commonality of trump supporters is FEAR.. A fear that runs so deep they are willing give up the Rule of law, the Constitution, and institutions.. NOT see it happen.
Trump is their SAVIOR...Trump will prevent a minority takeover., even when they become the majority. It's the ONLY way they feel it can be done.. no other Republican can do it.
In the final analysis. It is the ONLY commonality of the complete Trump supporter. If someone doesn't disagree with Trump about certain things...Like his attack on our democracy. It is simply because.. they now fear our Democracy
Tell your self different. it doesn't matter, lie 2 me , lie 2 yourself. But you can't escape it. You believe Blacks, Hispanics, women, gays, illegals, foreigners, immigrants, Allies and enemies ......ARE just like you.. THEY WILL DO 2 YOU..... WHAT YOU DO 2 THEM.

Lie with Certainity

i have been watching Fox News.. It truly an amazing propaganda feat.
Not Fox news programing is the same.. there actually are some News programing
So what's the difference.. ?
I keeping telling people iI don't care about the what. The what is what it is. I care about the How.. and what makes the what.. WHAT it ISN'T..
Commentary about the facts, or the opinion pages of a newspaper, or social media are a POSSIBLE conclusion derived from facts. It doesn't make any difference who's opinion it is...Liberal or Conservative. It's an OPINION
Trump tapped into a changing media. Which has been trying to make the certainty of the lie.. so the lie becomes uncertain. He tapped in to the Right wings radio pundits...which became popular with conservative, because it obliterated any other possibilities, by the certain of their commentary. It's the flaw in human rational to turn facts into your opinions..and opinions into your facts. Some people loved not having to think.
Trump is amazing at it....and his followers have picked it. Fox news commentary does it the hilt
Presenting one's opinions as fact..A fact cannot be wrong, a fact can not have any contrary evidence that isn't a lie, a fact doesn't need proof, You can never retract from the facts.
So it becomes impossible defeat these ideas.. There's an exact methodology, designed defeat any opposition.
For example i can appreciated anyone's OPINION.. they have a right. Turning one's opinion into a fact.. allows that person to waffle between the fact and the opinion.. To fight the opinion is fighting the right to have one... Fighting their facts, fights their opinion.
Their expression of their opinion as fact, become a cloak of invincibility.
The left is becoming more that way....because it works.
For example, the left thinks George Floyd was MURDERED They present that as a fact. When it is simply an opinion. George Floyd.. holds no responsibility for his own. actions. There is no DIRECT EVIDENCE that the knee to the throat.. was the ONLY cause of George Floyds death.
"Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease,” said the complaint from the Hennepin County Attorney. “The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.”
I support the protestors, I support the failing of the police, I support the need to revamp and reconstitute the police departments in this country
but in this country, at this time, semantics means something.
The police KILLED George Floyd.. They didn't MURDER him.

The Obvious Choice...Kamala

...And the fireworks keep going off. The sky lighted in Red, White and Blue..I know I'm pretty off the wall, about the way I see things...
I could talk about how smart she is.... How diligent she is....How tough she is.
I could talk about the adversity she has overcome. I could talk how she has not become tainted politically, I could talk about her being Black, Indian and the of immigrant.. I could talk about what she means to women, and people of color.
Those things may seem specific to specific individual. They may be in contrast to our current president and vice president..
But i don't want to talk about contrast.
Not since Obama..have we had a political person who transcends both their gender and the color of their skin.
i don't want to talk about the "big Stick' she carries.. I want to talk about her relate-ability, her smile, her joy, and her empathy...I want to talk about her friends and her supporters. I want to talk about the forgiveness she has and the forgiveness she gets. I want to talk about the person.. Not the politics.
Kamala Harris may have the political attributes to be a great Vice president? But she has the personal attributes to be great American.
So what I want to talk about...Is that Kamala Harris can not be simply defined by her political attributes to the office of Vice-president.

"Outliars"

It's hard understand that WE are all the same in our differences. "Outliars" try tell us differently, "Outliars" try show us differently... but they are not the solution... They are the cause. put it in ""Black and White" we are all the same..
The smaller the picture the bigger the difference . The bigger the picture the smaller the difference.. The solution is in the "big picture" of the Human condition. Not the smaller picture of a non-Black person"s incomprehensible black condition.
I cannot understand what it's exactly like be Black....Nor can I understand what it is exactly like be a Woman, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Gay, Transgendered, or disabled....I may not fully understand their reasons and justifications for their conditions and reactions.......but that is no excuse for me not understand that kind of plague in HUMAN conditions.
No matter which side of the fence one is on, it's an "outliar", and the cause.
Is it too hard to understand that standing up for someone else's Rights.. Is standing up for your own? No matter that person is...
