Making America Greatatwar Again

I was listening to The Naked Apprentice, carefully, cautiously sifting for any substance behind mindlessly reactionary mulish gruel, universally bullying yet morally thin as frozen rain on transparent windshield. He has the mechanical aptitude, systematic rectitude, academic attitude of a tired, hungry, and pissed off mule. I know because we lie and copulate in the same pen, the same industrious climate, the same WinHealth v LosePathology continent and planet. Barbara Tuchman speaks of Folly as I might think of stubborn mule-headedness. To paraphrase: RightWing anger and fear, paranoia and competitive greed for power and food and sensual beverages of proper self-medicating choice status, inspiring envy and hate have long been perceived as paranoid, unloving, pathological Sickness in RightWing extreme Folly threat to resilient global health, not merely my own healthy wealth during this my fifth dimensional quarter of questioning seeing hearing listening searching for healing deep learning co-acclimation calling hindsight, but, tragically, through all anti-social wounded untherapeutic time. Always playing the Liar trump card has not been so historically over-played since Julius Caesar told Cleopatra he would make Egypt great again because he passionately loved her. Possibly modeled after Judas selling out the Prince of Peace to make Israel great for integrity again. A feasible cooperatively healthy course of action of ownership of governance leading authority leading responsibility healing social intent satisfying human curiosity resilient mammalian courage resonant living instinct must recall and advocate more than fairy tales of RobinHood internationally accessible, dynamically mapped and media story-framed, enchantingly systemed and captured, health-modeled and remolded multiculturally. This RightWing TrumpCard plays, and therefore sounds, like a globally mendacious Folly question That of an anti-social aberration, a wound, reacting against cooperatively green eco-schooled redemption, climate health care giving and ecovillaged planet receiving cooperatively self-organizing group-thinks and democratic feels of integrity's discernment-- Not another individual autonomously greedy to capitalize EGO-POWER! A self-entitled plutocrat, well-machined by a heartless RightWing Win/Lose bullying society, a secularized self-righteous narcissistic nation-actor in a failing anti-RobinHood EarthTribe, a fallen Folly humane nature. Industrialized capital F for Folly persists, insists, preys and bullies beyond one pre-millennial ecopolitical era of climate pathology, Far beyond my own climatically dysfunctional listening pen for mules hungry thirsty tired and OtherWise now preparing to live cooperatively ever green ultra-nonviolently after.
