Traditional nightmares occur at nightime and are frightening or disturbing dreams eliciting strong emotions, such as fear, anxiety, or stress. The sleeper usually awakens startingly from his negative REM sleep experience with but brief memory of its content.
Our presented, nuanced and contextual nightmare, by contrast, similarly exists as a disturbing experience, but is experienced, in a morfe extensive manner during the daylight hours and, unfortunately, not instantly relieved by an emotionally protective “ejection seat.”.It is also notable because it is mutually shared by most mainstream, traditional Americans. The hair-raising specter eternally and eerily hovering over this joint and fulsome nightmare is the grim presence of Donald J. Trump.
We cannot resist violating the usual procedural standards of the stereotypical “blog” form, by, in advance, infuriatingly posing the following dubious and singular question: “What rational principle is there that might conceivably justify an American President to grant a full pardon to criminals charged and convicted for the perpetration of crimes in which he was factually complicit; indeed, the sponsor? This query alone would be a bizarre basis for a nightmare.
A bird’s eye view of the etiology of the horror, reveals the following factual scenario: Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Joseph Biden. Consistent with his egocentric mindset, he neurotically declared his loss ipso facto fallible. Contrary to the officially audited facts, Trump obstinately refused to accept the result and tactically declared to his loyal (underbelly of) populist supporters that “The election was stolen.”
Trump tactically succeeded in inciting the Nation’s large population of its populist, poorly informed supporters to revolt, who compliantly and illegally, enacted the violent and shameful January 6, 2021 insurrection (effectively, Trump’s attempt at a self-coup). Trump, with the advice of several loyal miscreants as his political advisors, employed Machiavellian tactics, political and judicial, to delay and thereafter escape, well=-deserved criminal incarceration for his inarguable role as promoter and supporter of the revolutionary act; however, many participant rioters were convicted and jailed.
Notwithstanding the admitted promotion of the unprecedented and egregious, insurrection, Trump managed by political tactics to avoid appropriate punishment for his incitement of the horrendous crime (as well as many crimes for which he was also indicted) and was, unpredictably successful in the 2024 Presidential election, (this time, revealingly, not choosing to evoke any claim of “”stolen election”). Thereafter, Trump publically declared his intention, following the inauguration, to pardon the vicious gang of criminal insurgents for their crimes regarding which he was not only complicit but, perforce, was the sponsor This bizarre farce, standing alone, would suffice to evoke nightmares.
Trump has also publically and frighteningly, declared his intention to be a “dictator” and wreak vengeance upon his political detractors, thus aggravating and deepening the severity and predictable endurance of the contextual nightmare,
However painful, the extensive nightmare that unceasingly continues to trouble the sleep of traditional, mainstream American citizens. is yet further exacerbated by his perverse selection of Cabinet Secretaries and Officials, who would assist in the declared implementation of Trump’s fascist plan of retribution against his political detractors.
The extensive depth of America’s living nightmare is deepened by the additional trauma invoked by the nature of Trump’s announced future cabinet; a bizarre circus of incapable, inexperienced carnival of sideshow show horribles, all possessing as mandatory the sole merit of being a Trump supporter. This segment of the daytime nightmare includes pathological alcoholics, sex traffickers, confidants of America’s autocratic enemies, a conspiracy wonk and opponent of scientifically proven, modern methods of health, a proudly announced animal murderer, Christian White Supremacists, as well as agents sworn to faithfully implement Trump’s Nazi-style threats of retribution against his political opponents, tax officials who are lobbyists for billionaires, and most ominous, unscrupulous law enforcers.
This grim and painful period of the daily nightmare, however, may have ultimate empirical utility in the long-sought rational and instructive remonstration to the misled Trump (MAG of the dire cost to personal rights and the desirable and unique American way of life, consequent to their cultish support for their authoritarian aspirant,(see: earlier writing, (“LEMMINGS”). In our view, there is promise in our hoped-for grounds for awakening from the daily (“quotidian”) nightmare.
It has been said that:” The darkest nights illuminate the brightest stars.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
