Hey look it’s everyone’s favorite subject: Politics!
I think it’s important to mark kind of where the
different parties are at politically right now because there are some major
shifts occurring and some divides arising that are changing the landscape of
these parties themselves.
First off we have to acknowledge WHY these divides
are occurring.
#1 Most people want more than just Party A or Party
B. The parties themselves aren’t doing as much for the people as the people
want them to.
#2 Multiple generations of individuals do not see
eye to eye. Expecting the same perspective and ideologies to be shared among
that vast of a party is next to impossible when you realize it consists of
millions of deeply diverse individuals.
So HOW are the parties dividing?
Democratic divide is probably the easiest to see right
now with the Hillary v. Bernie situation. There are 2 main groups divided
within Democratic/Liberal lines:
#1 There is the older generation that trusts in
status quo and keeping things the same at the same steady pace –with a lot of
the same goals being sought after.
#2 Then there’s the younger generation that feels
this group isn’t moving fast enough or in as impactful a way as it should. They
feel the issues facing society and want them addressed head on.
You can pretty much say there are “conservative”
liberals and “liberal” liberals.
Next are Republicans. There is divides are harder to
see, but the ironic part is there are actually MORE divides within that group.
#1 Republicans that are only republican because
they’re rich and want that wealth maintained
#2 Republicans that are conservative and highly
educated that want the status quo maintained. (Sometimes there’s overlap between groups 1 and 2)
#3 "Biblically" conservative Republicans that want gay
rights ended and abortion illegal
#4 Not-so-well educated, very colorful individuals
who don’t want the risk of their guns being taken
What baffles some Republicans about Donald Trump is
he only appealed to Republicans #4. The other sets of Republicans were
completely bi-passed (save for some pandering to Evangelicals that didn’t
exactly go smoothly…)
At this point, both presidential candidates remind
me of Henry the 8th in different ways. I reference that monarch
because he’s one of the most well-known, I watch too much Tudors, and
his mannerisms were well noted.
Trump is like Henry is just about every respect. If
that man were given the capacity to execute people who piss him off he would.
In fact he kind of already said that he wanted to. He said he wants to
intensify torture of people suspected to have terrorist ties and he wants to
blow up the families (women and children) of ISIS. Pretty much exactly what
Henry did –and when it came to executing women and children he actually did it
to his OWN people.
He’s also like Henry because of his behavior and
temperament in general. They also kind of look alike…
Hillary is ALSO like Henry the 8th in
some surprising ways. When Henry couldn’t get his way and have Anne Boleyn as
his wife, he went out of his way to make it happen.
Step #1 Threaten to leave the Pope in the dust.
Step #2 Execute Wolsey –the right hand man who just
couldn’t seem to make things work –on the basis of “treason”.
Step #3 Get the cardinals to agree on bended knee
that King Henry is the head of the Church of England.
Step #4 Get a newly appointed cardinal to have
previous marriage deemed void.
Step #5 Mary Anne Boleyn and FORCE everyone in the
kingdom to agree to her legitimacy as queen.
Step #6 Execute Sir Thomas Moore because he refused.
Done!
When you go that far out of your way to make
something happen… it HAPPENS.
Hillary’s pretty much the same, just with less
violence and overt tactics.
I think after she lost the presidency to Obama in
2008 and it wasn’t even considered in 2012 she had spent almost 10 years
figuring out, “How do I make this an ABSOLUTE certainty to the best of my
ability.”
Thus followed the bribes, favors, secret emails,
exchange of funds, raising of money for campaigning, corrupting the Democratic
Party from within, ensuring votes, buying out the media, more favors for banks
and other similar corporations, being utterly astounded by the popularity of
Bernie followed by the desire to drown out his name, more manipulations…
Hillary’s trip through the White House was far less
bloody than Anne Boleyn’s to the throne, but no less convoluted and
manipulative.
Neither person deserves the presidency at this
point. Neither act presidential. They only act bloated on their own wealth up
to their eyes in the bullsh*t they keep pedaling.
The only real defining difference between them is
Hillary actually knows what the presidency involves as a position. Trump kind
of admitted he never really intended to succeed or get as far as he did. If
Trump actually has to do what the president actually does, I’m pretty sure he
would impeach himself.
Presidency is Paperwork. Lots of sitting behind a
desk, reading long-winded documents in legal jargon, and making important
decisions based on that. It’s also lots of meetings. And then some more meetings.
And then more meetings.
Personally I think Hillary deserves the mountain of
documents –some of which are manipulated pieces of work coming out of Congress
with secret hidden agendas in them you would miss if you skipped page 213. It
seems fitting.
