Morphing, Morphing, Morphing -- What the heck does that mean? What am I talking about?
Morph - to be transformed. (verb) As this whole election process has gone on for the last 2 years, I've gone through many, many stages. I keep thinking I need to write - to express myself, perhaps help others, to relieve some stress. As time has gone one, I've been evolving. I am impressed by how much others know, how talented others are, and can feel somewhat intimidated. But I still have a need to relieve some stress, anger, and frustration. I get so angry sometimes. I also see things from a new perspective almost weekly. Thus the "morphing".
Plus as time has gone one, Trump won the election and I was totally dismayed, along with others. Now he is president and has created such chaos and I am constantly incredulous. Newscasters, tweeters, and facebookers constantly repeat the awful things, and i understand the need to know. I have the need to know. But it does not help me to hear about Jeff Sessions over and over. And as the last 3 weeks have continued, and his cabinet has been chosen, and his relationships with Putin get revealed, I have a new perspective.
It is not about the details - it is about the big picture. The big picture is the "crazy man" who will do anything, as will his staff. The big picture is that our country has been taken over by fascists. Many are calling it fascism. Actually I checked the definitions, and I feel we either have a dictatorship, an autocracy, or totalitarianism. I will add definitions for you. The definition of fascism is a country run by the "state" and I feel we are being run by Trump, Pence, Bannon, Putin, and the Koch brothers. Does that mean the "state"? I don't think so. I believe the Senate and House so far are only allowed to continue their agenda as long as it doesn't step on anyone in the White House's toes.
So my awareness that this is where we are, not heading there, I question the point of me going over and over all the "idiot moves" made by the White House, as they will just get more and more bizarre. And they are doing so.
The mental health issues - the way the citizens of the US are being treated- is awful. We are being lied to every 15 minutes by Conway, Spicer, Trump, senators, Bannon, on and on. The manipulation and word games are part of the "gaslighting" process. A perfect example is
McConnell saying it would not be tolerated that the Democrats block the Supreme Court nominee, yet he told us he would refuse to consider M. Garland and if Hillary Clinton won, he would not consider her nominee. Yet he says Democrats are wrong. Now what does one do with that "craziness."
If you are a person with a high level of intelligence and open to varying facts and information, but can discern the truth from the lie, there is little place to go. How would I ever respect this party who has sold their souls. Truly. They don't care about anyone. I am a middle class white woman who is single and I suffered a great deal in a patriarchal world as a single working Mom. Things happened that would not have happened had I been wealthy and male. Money does buy you out of a lot of situations, and/or the good old boy's network helps you out of situations. Single moms with lower income do not have those options.
