Who, tell me, who supports this used to be game show host?
Explain to me, how, I repeat,
how this performance gets promotion ?
By whom ?
I found an article written by Michael Jochum that examines
this perplexing reality. It has provided me with understanding a viewpoint,
and because of that, I have found a bit more peace within all this chaos.
.... #1 way I have found some peace.
See if this helps you readers :
"... The unhinged …. {”game show host” _ my edit } on that stage is
exactly the president his followers want. They don't tolerate the
chaos; they require it. They don't excuse the cruelty; they cheer it.
They don't misunderstand the geopolitical land-grabs and war-
mongering postures; they see them as proof of dominance.
The spectacle is the substance.
What makes this moment uniquely perilous isn't just one man’s
depravity. It's the millions who looked at that performance and
thought, Finally-someone who speaks for me. We are not up
against a conventional politician or an opposing platform. We are
up against a movement animated by: The racism embedded in
"Make America Great Again," which has always translated to
Make America White Again…The anti-intellectualism that
confuses cruelty with strength and treats knowledge as weakness.
A provincial, grievance- soaked worldview that mistakes bluster
for leadership and exclusion for sovereignty.”
The fuel for this display of ranting antics is all the attention-getting publicity &
concentrated focus we provide towards this used to be game show host.
The brutal raw shock value. The predictable outrage that follows.
And this used to be game show host does deliver the goods, that is his whole schtick.
Our current national geography is now a map on a you go directly to jail game board
that is being played by a pouting, frowning, scowling game show host that keeps score.
Offers lavish prize packages by dangling dazzling 14 carrot gold carrots as bait to manipulate his contestants.
The rules keep changing. Words & language take on suddenly brand new meanings.
All is up for the reinvention of each moment. Morals flipped in which what was bad & forbidden is now good & acceptable. The drama. The theatrics. The taunts. The insults.
The spectacle. And yes,
The Spectacle is the Substance.
Ok I get this endless schtick. It is getting so old & so tiring.
How does one rise above this mire. By seeing it for what it is.
And not let it affect your own behaviors, outlooks, your being.
For my own self, it is called : not buying what they are selling.
I refuse to perpetuate their antics, mirror their behavior back, or act like dat.
Merely, they an example of how not to be nor act or live.
My own self stays on a steady course.
My strength has forever been grounded in a solid state of knowing who I am.
I think it was part of my DNA package & was born that way.
I do not know how one develops this character trait.
It has been the one solid pillar I have leaned up against these days.
The example of this trait first came to light when attending catechism at age 10.
Came home after the 2nd class, & told my parents, "they are trying to tell me what god looks like." Aint buying what they selling mom & dad. Ok you do not have to go back.
My self stays the course of staying true to my values.
And beliefs about what is right & what is wrong.
There is an abundance of wrong going on. I need not reiterate.
I change the channel.
I change the channel to Michael Jochum. Thank you.
I change the channel to hear Mark Carney speak intelligently,
the eloquent Prime Minister of Canada. Bless you.
I see through this current fog of dissing disbelief.
I see through the fog, which has an actual useful purpose. It covers up, hides, & distracts.
And because of the splintering and the pulling apart of our nation’s seams,
our nation’s fabric, this has caused the desired unraveling affect of disconnection.
Connection is our key strength.
Union. United.
Power to the people folks.
All that glitters is not gold.
Can you dig it.
The so-called "landslide" that was so falsely promoted in 2024 was so very not true.
In 2024 about 155 million ballots were cast.
This would mean an estimated 89 million Americans,
or about 36% of the country’s voting-eligible population,
did not vote in the 2024 general election.
49.8% of the popular vote went to the used to be game show host.
48.3% of the popular vote went to Kamala Harris.
If Harris had picked up the right mix of 229,726 votes in Michigan (80,103),
Pennsylvania (120,226), and Wisconsin (29,397),
she would have been taking the oath of office on January 20.
Only 64% of the population voted.
The state with the highest voter turnout was Wisconsin at 73%.
In around 280 days, Elections to the US Congress will take place on November 3, 2026.
All 435 districts in the US House of Representatives
& 33 seats in the US Senate
are up for election. Think about that.
Five of the House's six non-voting members are also up for election.
In around 1000 days the Nov 7, 2026 election will take place.
Think about that.
280 days / 9 months. / 6720 hours. Power to the people.
These figures & up-coming pivotal monumental
election days provide me,
also, with a sense of peace.
#2 way I have found some peace.
I hope it might help you too, readers.
I have this yen.
A voracious appetite
for falling in love
with the whole wide planet earth,
the entire globe,
our total world again.
We the Planet. The All of us. The Everyone.
We the People.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."- Preamble of the US Constitution.
