Mainstream America, with sufficient reason, finds itself in a state of fearful apprehension concerning the contemporaneous threat to the endurance of their cherished Democratic Republic. The election of an errant President who has declared his intention to be an autocratic “dictator” and has ubiquitously demonstrated the sincerity of his perverse ambition is an empirical source of dread. Donald Trump’s shocking denigration of the Constitution, lack of moral compass, and blatant, ubiquitous transgressions of the societal rule of law. his bosom friendship with Russia’s Vladymir, his declared, personal avatar of proper governance, Hungary’s tyrant, Viktor Orban, and stated admiration for the North Korean tyrant, Kim Jun Un, evince his dystopic criteria for appropriate governance.
Consistent with his brash declaration of intent to be a dictator, Donald J. Trump, in the first few weeks of his term, has taken tactical steps to undermine American democracy. As illustration is his selection of radically inappropriate, members of his Cabinet as demonstration, inclusive of the Bureaus of Intelligence, viz., the CIA, the FBI, the Secretaries of Defense, Interior, Foreign Relations, Homeland Security, Health, and the other official posts. None of the selected officials possesses a modicum of ability nor the functional experience requisite to their respective office but qualify by satisfying his mandatory requirement of unfailing loyalty.
Trump has unprecedentedly and bizarrely, wedded his elected office as America’s elected Chief of State to an unelected, quirky, billionaire, autistic-savant, to advise and assist as “hit man,” in his irrational delusion that the myriad, specialized federal agencies, together with with their large staffs of employees, ipso facto, represent governmental “waste and abuse.” He has taken irresponsible measures to eliminate them, despite their inarguable utility, domestic and international.
Consistent with such reductive and dystopic ideation, such delusional autocrat together with his unelected, impish, billionaire confederate, have taken steps to imasculate the Nation’s vitally important agencies, inclusive of Defense, and National Intelligence, Education and Medical research agencies, the Inspectors General and has quashed citizen -oriented protective regulations, pardoned seditious and criminally convicted insurrectionists, denounced all salutary environmental programs in favor of “drill, baby drill, taken steps to dismantle all governmental humanistic enterprises, foreign and domestic, such as USAID (the latter, providing urgently needed food and medicines to desperate nations such as Ethiopia) and has expressed his domestic intention to limit or extinguish America’s salutory Social Security and Medicaid programs. Additionally repugnant and pathological are his cruel policies regarding immigration, his articulated, gradiose and notably demented intention to annex the Sovereign Nation of Cansada, to acquire Denmark’s Greenland, retake Panama, and rename the Gulf of Mexico, the “Gulf of America.” Bewilderingly,. the mutually peace-assuring confederation with other peace-loving nations and NATO have been Trump-discombobulated. Trump’s love affair with the crafty Russian tyrant, Putin, has been further enhanced by Trump’s schizophrenic declaration that Ukraine invaded Russia. The American mainstream citizen has appropriate justification to perceive such policies and deludional ideations as destructive and entertain relevant feelings of sheer, primitive fright in response. The Orange delinquent executive is also hell-bent on ignorantly eliminating the Nation’s salutory public media.
Trump’s emphatic campaign promises included assurances of an improvement in the economy by the lowering of inflation and consumer prices and by increasing employment. None of these “snake oil” assurances have been realized, the inarguable result of his skewed policies. Indeed, notably negative results have been objectively noted. merely in the first weeks of his present term in office. Inflation and consumer prices have been elevated and predictably will be further inflated by his program of ill-advised tariffs. Employment statistics currently demonstrate an observable decline, predictably aggravated by Trump’s reductively ignorant elimination of established, utilitarian governmental agencies and thousands of their employees.
America needs, deserves, and, in fact, affirmatively has readily available a “Superhero” to rescue it from this hazardous National conundrum. Mainstream American citizens are eternally in possession of the contemplsative opportunity to obtain desperately needed relief from the contextual political conundrum. The relevant “Superhero” from whom such wisdom and consequent utilitarian relief may be obtained is the 18th-century polymath Isaac Newton, whose most famous declaration furnishes the needed assurance of relief in its societally, empirically, analogous contemplation.
Newton enlightened all humankind by his declaration that:”For every action, there is a respectively equivalent re-action.”
The arc of the Trump-MAGA institutional wrecking ball, visibly and destructively applied to the institutes and principles of our Democratic Republic, irrefutably carries with it the expressed Newtonian dynamic of an imminent return swing. By such stages thematic analogy, we have observed the Newtonian dynamic in its early, but predictable return swing at the recent outrage expressed st town hall meetings. the National media, objective judicial rulings, and the beginnings of a noticeable reaction, forsooth, on the part of selected MAGA Republicans and Members of Congress.
We confidently and happily look forward to the fruition and substantial impact by way of the dynamic and reactive backswing of the perverse, Orange wrecking ball.
Mille Gracias, Isaac!
