Political Climate Update January 2022

From a social media post January 2021 ...

It's not a good day in America when a large swath of the citizenry considers another large swath of their fellows to be so wrong as to not even merit consideration of their point of view. Yet the former is so consumed with fear of totalitarian rule by the latter that it fails to see how that very intolerance it harbors — howsoever justified — could come back and bring their worst fears up from within their own ranks.

Mostly what I hear from social media is saying even that makes me into a Trump supporter. And, I hear there are a lot of prominent media types asserting that pro-45 is the same as al Qaeda, Hitler, Stalin, Caligula ... Insert your favorite villain of choice.

Thoughts upon hearing actor Sean Penn blasted the 74 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election by camparing them to radical Islamic terror group al-Qaeda. Really!?
  
History repeating itself? No! It's just plain logic.

So, let's extend the logic ...

Finally a majority of us agree 45 is the devil incarnate. Ergo, anyone who supports such evil dastardliness is, what ... in league with the devil.

Torches and pitchforks on the ready. Let's round 'em up.

You can tell who we are who are on the right side of things by our dress. Armbands as mandatory as facemasks. What color shirts should we have as the official dress? Brown's been used before; so mid-century, anyway.

The current administration as of early 2022 is still using that sort of rhetoric, most pointedly around the Covid crisis and wanting the pass it's proposed voting rights legislation. 

Careful guys. Remember the promise to be a uniter? Draw the lines too hard and you have some trouble on our hands. Literally ... in the streets.
