Sometimes Speaking The Truth Is Unpopular, But...


Hey Everyone!

Okay, I'm going to say something that will likely piss off people on both sides of the argument but, oh well, I'm going to say it anyway. Donald Trump is undoubtedly guilty of a number of crimes, and anyone who disputes that is an idiot, completely oblivious to what's going on, or both. But I'm, once again, going to point out the fact that more than one thing can be true at the same time. So here's another thing that's true: all the outrage from Democrats is just pointless noise that no one is really listening to.

Democrats are mad, but who cares? Are they going to do anything about it but complain that the other side isn't following the rules? Nope, probably not. Are Democrats across the country going to take to the streets and march in protest? Maybe, in well-controlled, polite marches that are careful not to inconvenience anyone. But will they shut things down, make some real noise, prevent the engine of society from running, and stay there until their elected representatives come to heel? Nope. That would be rude and might cost the corporate overlords some money.

Will Democrats even get organized and vote the corrupt vultures running both major parties out of office? Nope. And anyone who dares to criticize the Democratic establishment and point out how weak, pathetic, and corrupt they are is immediately set upon and torn to pieces by both the power structure and the sheep who follow them.

In fact, about the only time Democratic Party leadership shows any strength at all is when they're attacking progressives. They never show that kind of spine when dealing with Republicans.

No wonder so many people have checked out of the political process! The whole system is rotten to the core, and the prospects for changing it are dismal, at best. And even the people who admit that's true are often so afraid of things getting even worse they refuse to do anything to try to change things for the better.

So, yes, Donald Trump is guilty of the crimes he has been accused of and almost certainly many more. But it doesn't matter because the people responsible for doing something about it, in both parties, are more concerned with upsetting their corporate donors than they are with upholding the Constitution. And We, The People are either too disillusioned, too exhausted, or too apathetic to hold their feet to the fire. And, for all the whining about justice and truth, that's where the issue is likely to stay.
