Some of us became uncomfortable with America’s path over forty years ago. Others, like the apathetic born to shop self serving reality show intelligentsia, have only in the last several years awakened from their brain dead creature comfort lifestyle and realized the USA is in trouble. In the meantime, the World managed a twenty year head start on the USA that began in 2000.
At first, the previously clueless didn’t know why our country was in trouble. Not really. They looked for easy answers and found them in the lies and false conspiracies involving boogie men pedophile/Alien consortiums whose ultimate goal is to turn us all into brain munching vampiric zombies. It is so much easier to cozy up to our fears. It comes naturally and cheap. It is harder I think to stifle fear and search for clarity in an ever growing atmosphere bombarded by doubt and false premises created with evil intent.
Our various leaders, who had seen and been advised the US was dropping into a huge shit hole decades ago, decided that taking advantage was a better play than trying to do something to stop the decline. For they too were trapped in the evil cycle of American Consumerism. Only what they craved was power and they found keeping the citizenry on edge, off their game, and clueless was the easier path to power and glory.
They stepped up their fear campaigns, fed the conspiracy fires, and enthusiastically allowed doubt in our government to grow to alarming levels. And they did so easily. They convinced us our looming failure was not our fault but someone else’s. We were not to blame; we were innocent victims of the other side’s evil plans and efforts. In the meantime, their deep pocketed benefactors sewed deeper pockets into their Brooks Brothers suits.That both sides were and are actively involved in screwing us is the only true bipartisanship being practiced at the moment. Two sides of the same coin bending us over different tables.
And now here we are, a country of nervous barnyard animals waiting to see who Farmer Brown will slaughter next. Meanwhile, we all hope our leaders will do something positive, and hopefully do something "together". Instead, all we have is the small comfort of watching them piss on each other’s feet while sticking their tongues out at each other.
Later ……………………………..

Like watching an approaching train wreck except we are all in one way or another on the train.
Waiting for someone (else) to do something. Me too, I guess.
Blog Fodder - Me too of course. I am just another whiny traveler who feels helpless in the face of such astounding stupidity.
There really isn't much we, as individuals, can do. As long as there are no term limits in Congress and the Senate we are stuck with legislatures more concerned about their own wealth and position, than for the good of the country.
The catch 22 is that the Congress and the Senate would have to legislate the term limits that would chute them out of office - yeah, that'll work.
In the meanwhile the country is being run and controlled by the minority party that has gone completely insane.

I recall the boogie man, when I was a kid.
Coffee is on and stay safe
we're fucked
