Post Election Ramblings

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

***It took me a while to figure out how to post a new thread. I think that was the plan RN3 (or now RN4???). Keep that dude quiet

Trying parse out how I feel and what I think after all this is difficult but I need to do it. As NB4D says, 'For every one person that reads this post, 7.99 billion have not. Still I post'. In my case, all have not, but I Soldier on.  

For the record, I am not an R or D. I do not have one issue I vote on. So to claim "I won" or "I lost" yesterday does not have much meaning for me. I don't watch the MSM so I don't even have a team in that regard.

However, I do have feelings and thoughts on the state of our beloved experiment here in the US. So, in no particular order...

- Why are citizens (for the most part) so tribal? I understand it is human nature but why can't they look past that? They need to secure an environment more conducive to the betterment of their families and communities. No party will provide that. They are simply corporations looking to consolidate wealth and power. If they have to lie to you to do so, so be it. You mean nothing to them. Are the lies more comforting than the cold truth? 

- If we can't solve election "irregularities", we are done. Look at Arizona. Maricopa county. How can anyone think there is nothing afoul going on there? Voting is not complex. The only reason to make it complicated is to obfuscate for malfeasance. Yet, the citizens of that county just keep rolling with it. What happens when that beast turns on you? What then? 

- Is the plan to staff the entire elected segment of our government with mentally challenged individuals as puppets? I guess they have run out of willing stooges? First the President, now Senators (looking at you Pennsylvania), what's next? Those people need help, they don't need to be exploited. The Governor of my state is feckless, he does nothing except what gets fed to him. I guess if you are a Deep Stater or powerful corporate entity, puppets are preferable. They can do as told, take the public heat, and are expendable. 

- Regardless of who gets elected, I do not have much hope for positive change. WEF bulls*** seems to be the order of the day. As a taxpayers, I am not OK with umpteen billion $$$ going to Ukraine or other places while my country rots. But I guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist, a bigot, or whatever the current slur of the week is. I happen to think the Constitution is a good blue print. I guess Trudeau would say that thought is unacceptable.    

I try to counter all this negativity with positive actions on my tiny homestead. Gardening, preserving food stores, stocking up on items, being cordial with my neighbors, working on personal growth, posting to the Rogues, etc. Does it help?

I would say that the answer is nanobots. I think my answer has something to do with me being in the middle of reading Dean Koontz's "The Whispering Room".

I don't think tribalism or human nature has anything to do with the toxic mental status so many seem to be presently infected with. I think it is more a Pavlovian response to conditioning and brain washing than anything intrinsic or inherent.

Refocusing time and energy away from the negativity, is a sound and prudent solution.
