Feeling Both Better and Worse

I feel both better and worse each time I end up saying this. We are outside the bounds of normal and not in a good place. At the same timeI we didn’t lose and Trump didn’t win. The old paradigm of shared governance came crashing down because the rules changed and Trump found himself, incidentally, on the inside instead of the outside because the walls are gone. So the only people he can get are people who don’t get it at all. It’s a brutal change as people are being forced to look around and see it’s all changed, we don’t know the rules yet but it’s clearly got nothing to do with Trump. And the main US media still have their eyes tight shut with the international media trying to poke them, “whoa, dudes, you’re starting to look stupid. . . “

The hard, hard message is we have almost nothing left but functioning 21st century metro areas tied to other international metro areas and totally dysfunctional Trumpistan dependencies. And they’ve been told there going back to Kansas in 1910 to wait for the second coming. So they’re no help at all and might as well be on another planet. But we are going to have to carry them kicking and screaming into the 21st century. So it’s a hard, hard road we’re on. . .

I’ve written some other stuff about this for what that’s worth.
