Talk About It [David’s blog on saturday morning smack-dab]

In our blue bubble it is a five alarm fire and it’s all we talk about. The methodical destruction of democracy.

In the red bubble…well, given their discourse there’s nothing unusual happening. The dismantling of democracy is what they voted for. Their conversation runs the gamut from cute kittens to insta-pot recipes to hyper-patriotic remembrances. Anything but…

I’ve found in almost every case that if I try to discuss the disjoint in our bubble reality, I’m met by the red-voters with the phrase, “We don’t talk about it.” Pulling status…as if ignorance (ignoring reality) is the entrance fee to the maga-country club. Republican constituents mimicking their representatives in the House and the Senate: hear-no-evil, see-no-evil…speak-no-truth.

But what about this? It’s one example of a multitude: the first amendment protects our right to assemble and express our views through protest. The tyrant-wannabe recently posted that protesters on college campuses will be expelled or arrested and that federal funding will be withheld from universities that allow “illegal” protests [for grins, the source of my link is fox news]. And then, completely unclear on the concept (the Constitution), he thanked the people of the nation for our “attention to this matter”.

There is so much that we need to talk about.

  1. Eric Blair’s 1984. That is what you and Kerri’s comments remind me of today, as well as our everyday existence. We are ACTUALLY living it – right NOW.

    Nothing, no one, no place is safe anymore. As I post on BlueSky I am fearful that the red “thought police” is taking notes and names. Though I write under a pseudonym (George Sellers), we are all never safe. North Korea, China are present examples. Ah well, I’ll go down fighting!.
