The salubrious confluence of multi-diverse cultures historically comprising the American population, as noted in the Nation’s estimable motto, “E Pluribus Unum” (anti-immigrant proponents, please take note), has, empirically introduced to the Nation, a diverse host of cultural “second languages.” Strangely, within the past decade, a domestic, albeit quasi-rational, tongue has appeared among a considerable swath of our populist citizenry best characterized by analogy to the exotic poem in *Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass,” termed, “Jabberwocky.” The singular feature of this home-grown idiom is that it is expressed in the general lexicon of American English, yet, analogous to the dynamic of the nonsensical verses of Lewis Carroll, lacks any recognizable semblance of rational content or communicated value.
An illustrative, and, especially significant, example of our thematic patois, may be observed in the utterances of its recognized lexicographer, Donald J. Trump, who, not content with serving four long and atrocious years as President (accruing no less than two Congressional Impeachments) is currently desirous of another such ignominious term. His speech, devotedly emulated by a substantial cultish following of populist sycophants, is predictably rich in jabberwocky emanations and demonstrably replete with bizarre and exotic ideation.
The most characteristic and ubiquitous example of Trump’s deplorable jabberwocky is seen in abbreviated form, the domicile of which is ritually situated on red-colored baseball caps, viz., “MAGA.” The latter logo, expressed in white prominent letters, represents the typically outrageous clap-trap of that identified snake oil salesman and incapable former President, Donald Trump; a quasi-deity to the meme of such compliant cap wearers, that abbreviates to, “Make America Great Again.” In an otherwise objective and legitimate application of such pronouncement, it conceivably would constitute a praiseworthy aspiration. However, as an enunciation by the neurotically, egotistical persona of Donald Trump, is deceitful, misleading, inappropriate, and, indeed, a clinical example of the recent epidemic of his demagogic Jabberwocky.
Similar in its deceitful dynamic to the enunciated and hypocritical, “Right to Life,” proponents, (who, despite their tactical meme, demonstrate authentic jabberwocky, by their opposition to assistance to the needy child (i.e., after its birth), opposition to abortion, yet, as well (bizarrely and inconsistently) contraception, oppose gun control, and promote Capital Punishment). It appears to be irrefutably obvious that the inappropriately selected, “Right to Life” meme is, irrefutably, a plain example of cynical, unadulterated, and ***, Jabberwocky.
Trump’s tactically egocentric and deceitful MAGA assertion is deceitfully articulated jabberwocky, shamefully consistent with his incessant, egocentric, and arrogant “snake-oil” promotion of himself; viz., make America great again. Such prediction of renewed greatness has been empirically disproven by the egregious damage he perpetrated in his embarrassing, four-year (twice-impeached) term. Nevertheless, Trump’s perception, neurotically impaired by an overriding egotistical persona combined with shameful ignorance, remarkably, without shame or embarrassment, touts his horn to the libretto of “Make America Great Again,” (read, “By electing me”). We would challenge any Trump acolyte to furnish any nationally beneficial or appropriate act (as contrasted with those that were personally profitable) for which he might deservedly take credit in his term of office. One might add to the challenge, Trump’s officially determined commission of an incomprehensible, 71 felonies and his many egregious and selfishly profitable violations of the “Emolument Clause of the U.S. Constitution,
By empirical comparison, President Joseph Biden,(whom Trump, only three years younger, chooses to criticize as old and incapable) can deservedly take credit for a plethora of beneficial accomplishments to date in his less than four-year term as President. Beneficially included are such matters as: bringing the pandemic under control (following Trump’s ignorant misfeasance, proximately resulting in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths), significantly reducing national inflation, the attainment of a historically high employment rate, reducing the oppressive level of tuition debt, marshaling through a nationally needed, major infrastructure bill, with its attendant facility of transportation, public safety, and inherent and substantially impactful, economic benefits, publically chastising Putin’s all-out aggression against Ukraine and initiating a program of military assistance to that assaulted democratic nation, being empathically and diplomatically engaged in empathic policies seeking to achieve a lasting truce and the amelioration of suffering of the Gaza civilian citizens, and, in his competent performance and spoken appearances, has demonstrated an ardent support of democracy, compassionate humanism and an unfailingly ardent cheerleader for the salutary, American way of life.
In addition to the empirical comparison with Trump’s jabberwocky failure to accomplish any beneficial act benefiting the Nation, said demagogic fraud and ego-oriented, attention-seeking Man-child, has, by his public statements of autocratic intention irrefutably demonstrated that his election would transmogrify our singularly valuable Democratic Republic under his atavistic, Putin-like rule. He has indeed so stated and, has threateningly promised “retribution” to all who politically or oppose him.
In passing, it might be observed, in reference to the propagandist, jabberwocky slogan, “Make America Great Again,” that the Nation’s vaunted, historic greatness was achieved, notably, without participation by, or malicious interference from, the autocratic aspirations and serial mendacity (orange jabberwocky) of Donald Trump.
