Shallow Mountains: Deeper Valleys

Reading U.S. Political Platforms First I read Senator Obama's Audacity of Hope to strengthen cooperation between Left and Right Wings of our patriotic-matriotic equivalently empowering Eagle. Then I read CEO Trump's Crippled [Business of] America: How to Make America [Rich Business] Great Again by crippling our stronger multiculturing left wing so it is more anemically shallow in monoculturing lack of strengthening balance, with struggling right wing mutual non-violence values becoming pervasively fractured. Given this clear choice between Win-Win Left and Right ecopolitics and Lose-Lose crippled Right against deeper Left, I simply could not find much of a balanced choice between true Earth patriotism and fake USA-FascistFirst PATRIOTIC JINGOISM bought and sold by Win-Lose PreMillennial Colonizers without respect for Win-Win PostMillennial Creolizers. Crippling mendacity is political fascism through propaganda and fake piety, religiosity mistaken for authentic spiritual experience, maturity, wisdom, discernment, Healing hope is cooperatively audacious, our only good multiculturing faith for healthy future generations sharing Earth's revolving blue-green banner of permaculturally wealthy fertility. Regenerativity abounds rebounds through healthier climate and landscape choices, more internal with external, ego with eco, yang with yin; not YANG to cripple yin even more. Trump's offer is to become our CEO BreakAnotherLeg Surgeon, 50% voted in charge of weakening both competing and dissonant Wings by running against younger yin authors and voices, audacious platforms rooted in multiculturing hope. Trump's blatant supremacist model for growing self-engorging power appears as pre-millennial dated as does good and healthy hope and bicameral ecopolitical faith appear post-millennial hopeful. This crippling, mountainously monstrous, face of Trumpian anger and fascist-feeding fear, could not be more clear as just the opposite direction any sane and rational sacred-engaged population would choose to Earth and Heaven go with active multiculturing Paradise hope for humane-divine cooperation over further secularizing competitions, For restorative healing powers over retributive trauma enforcement, For inclusive great and dense and deep spiritual Loves over shallows of totalitarian terror.
