Royal Fashion Flunking. The Mornings' After, November 5th, 2024.
All 5 remaining religions, ascribe to our communal, good-for-all, shared-valued system for survival; the base-core default all surviving communal beasts ascribed to. From there, each communal species then worked out their socially accepted parameters. Here’s a glimpse to the parameters our species worked out — making us who we are today.
Do not lie, steal, cheat, do unto others as we’d want done unto us, be respectful, are what we instill in our kids, and hope to find in friends, neighbors, coworkers. Parameters, learned in preparation of qualifying for adulthood by the time it arrives. A mere birthdate, isn't the qualifier. Trust, is then built from our given word and actions of who we say we are, and integrity becomes the overall summary of, who we really are. So from these most basic building blocks, trust and integrity became the pillars we build to define ourselves; the very pillars Democracy was erected upon. Such time-tested parameter standards, fit each member into the contributing whole — for our species to peacefully coexist. And by the time we embark on adulthood, most of us have incurred the few lessons needed as to why we’d want to commit our lives guided by what’s bundled-up, as common decent integrity. We learn that to trade it off, comes with gut punches and sleepless nights. By the time we breach our 30’s, most have worked thru who it is we want to be, and conclude that we won’t so we don’t, go thru life guided by anything less. Sure, some kids don’t have parents who actually parent so their learning of these foundational building blocks is slight and results in a low-caliber of integrity. Otherwise, adults either live guided by integrity—or don’t. How to spot a bad guy then, isn’t all that hard to do when a lack of integrity, is so very obvious.
Our majority, make the effort to qualify for our acceptable society parameters by adulthood. This most basic — common decency packet of standards, became the guiding light for all humanity, prodding us towards an evermore, peaceful existence. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here. Period. Then comes the 6000-year-old elitism lesson; now engrained enough to at least feel why, innate wariness mustn’t be dismissed. Then came Democracy; the only ruling system to align with our DNA-stamped, shared-valued default. This foremost trio of guidepost lessons; presented in the most obvious, good vs evil contrast any mass could hope for, is what now-educated, freer-us, just flunked. Yep. Royal fashion, is apt.
For 6000 years, divide to conquer became the card every power-needy egomaniac played, simply cuz the very nature of any egomaniac, is driven by an insatiable need for evermore self-glory. Such a timeworn power ploy isn’t newly-novel, so neither is Trump. In fact, Trump waved his own, biggest of red flags when: he vowed to be a dictator on day 1 and exact retribution on anyone who didn’t fall for his cape, when we vowed to exonerate his radicalized minions; and a’ course himself, for the insurrection he fomented over his big lie, and when he assured the red camp they needn’t concern themselves with voting ever again — once they empower him again. All red flags; all atop our DNA-stamped survival default and the 6000-year engrained wariness perk, narrows the scope right down to us. In the freer existing bargain, it is our responsibility to do our due-diligence, remain vigilantly wary, and take what any contender spews out — seriously. Too many of us didn't. This says a whole lot more about now-educated, freer-us, then any has-been egomaniac. So, is our new societal acceptance flex-plan being afforded to everyone, or just the one member who never even bothered to bag the qualifiers for adulthood? Either way, we set a precedent that no peaceful society can afford for long before peaceful, no longer prefaces their society.
Dance Partners began with the subtitle--The Power Dance of Time; the parlay of 3 partners for at least 6000 years: Gods, rulers, us—the great mass. The subtitle then became The Story of Our Times, once I realized it’s the great mass who actually writes how their jig goes down. Choosing Trump to be thee representative of us, is what we just chose to write in the annals of history to define who we are today, and what measure of grit we now have.

Hijacking 101. The Mornings' After, November 5th, 2024.
Upon awakening, I smile at the new day rising, and what it holds for me. As the cobwebs clear, what we have just done—descends; my rose-colored awakenings, snuffed out before I even roll out, now clouded by a screw-it mindset. I’ll spiff these 17 fledglings up alright, send ‘em off to editor/printer and finally, be done with this offering once and for all! So I did, or tried; made it all the way into Part II, then threw my hands in the air.
Realizing such rude awakenings had to be the new norm for many of us, I saw it was futile to think we could make the jump back to 15 years ago where Our Story awaits, with mindsets gripped by our current, nightmare reality. It’s now, New Years Day. Still, I am struggling to try and figure out how to bridge this gap. Meanwhile, I see where MSNBC went straight into ICU hemorrhaging which means our blue camp brothers and sisters, went straight into shutdown mode; the last place we need to land and yes, brothers and sisters. We all have family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, firmly ensconced in the opposing camp of our own. As for our red camp kin, their elation will eventually subside once they accept that Trump, has no cape. And, their genuine Christians will need to eventually reconcile with moving outside of the all-inclusive footsteps, Jesus left for us to follow—including them. This leaves the rest of us, not yet accounted for.
Consensus-building is — Democracy, and ours, is comprised of approx 25% of American voters who are diehard democrat/republicans respectively, leaving 50% of us on the outer or inner constraints, of these just-2 camps. Luckily, our overwhelming bulk remains on the pivotal, fence-perched lookout; including me, so if we must point a finger at who’s to blame for this nightmare, it’d be us. Well, nobody gets a crystal ball so nobody gets it right all the time and those who think they do, have bigger problems than the rest of us. Rather, our just-2 lead remained viable cuz our 25% red/blue measure does provide the healthy, either/or contrast giving the rest of us a full scope view to think hard on, while attending to our due-diligence responsibility. Why too many of us swung too far, is the real consideration as it encases the hardknock lessons we must all quickly remember, or learn.
When mass angst rises enough to become an evident wave, it opens a time is ripe, window of opportunity. Our 2010 recession provided us that opportunity but, we didn’t seize it so when Trump hit stage-center in 2015, he merely hijacked it. He then provided us a 2nd chance wakeup call in 2020 which we didn’t flunk, and I thought yippie! Finally, we’ll muster up some grit, move outta stalled and push onward! But, something then changed.
Communication, is everything to communal beasts cuz that’s how societal parameters get altered. In that, comes choice-selecting which, for the one beast armed with emotions and consciously-realized awareness, how we tick—gets much more complex. So from the immeasurable value of comparison to our choice-selecting ways, we gained the perk to develop real wisdom, which brought about Democracy! This expanded across vast lands via communication, realigning what’s now the free world, back to our DNA, true-to-center default. This was a real lifesaver for the inconsequential oxen; the commoner meant to survive but never thrive, thru 6000 years of class structure elitism. So with a 250-year realignment now under our belt, it should’ve been a no-brainer to choose anyone but Trump, once he chose to run the divide to conquer ploy; an auto-disqualifier within a Democracy. Why then, did we just put the very system our ancestors bequeathed us, in dire jeopardy?
History, provides us a humongous pile of lessons to learn from which includes how, communication affects this communal beast. We don’t yet, have hard-fact certainties as to how existing in high-tech style replete with the greatest info-deluge ever has affected us, but post November 5th 2024, the proof is in the pudding. While just over half of us pulled together some real grit, sadly, they didn’t pull on some intuit, to then wisely apply it. Why?

Who are We? The Mornings' After, November 5th 2024.
Human life, isn’t anything if not a constant pendulum swing thru one enormous, choice-selection catalog, in each and every conscious moment, to each and every day. From mulling over what each day has in store for us; what to wear, eat, drink, think, believe, our choices swing from the outermost greenlight go-ahead to live life fully, all the way over to the high-caution flashing yellow, then typically land on something between those extremes. In who we choose to lead our nation, I haven’t always liked but have respected, our consensus. But who we just chose, would've never even qualified, had we stayed true to our core-default. I hammer on this default, cuz we really need to sink our teeth into what makes being human so amazingly special, to then consider how we utilize our jewel, today.
Trump’s get out of jail free card, didn’t come cheap. The divide to conquer volatility he unleashed on us, and the outright lies he relentlessly spews, worked it’s magic on just over half of us. Consequently, the other half; like 2.5 million less than half who did do our vigilantly wary due-diligence responsibility, holds no trust or respect for Trump, and never will. These are just some of the expenses The King of Debt, strapped onto us.
Here's the choice we now face. We take ownership of what is now a 4th, time is ripe wakeup call; 3 of which Trump provided us—or, we allow the oh-so predictable, 2 steps back jerk he’s worked overtime to implement, do precisely what they are intended to do. The 101 power playbook ploys; from 6000 years of class structure elitism honing, Trump used to get just over half of us to fearfully, move outside our innately, DNA-stamped, shared-valued parameters. Ploys, as timeworn predictable, as the ensuing results. It is now, well-noted. Being human, includes an overriding proclivity to put our faith in what we want to believe, by simply suppressing our innate guidance. In today’s reality, we just proved that being educated, still isn’t enough to overcome this proclivity. This is just one, cause/effect consideration worth exploring because — we are at a now or never juncture. We are the mass, that’s landed the watch detail to one never-before-experienced, unhuman juncture. We are the ones, who must contend with an unseen, super-smart, 4th partner barreling right at us, and the absolutely only way for us to remain kings of this utterly amazing hill, is for the great mass of the free world; the torchbearers for the future of all humanity, to take our Democracies up to their next--logical, forward-ho step. Quickly, we must realize backward jerks are expressly intended to constrain masses, never advance masses.
The Story of Our Times, began 15 years ago as a mere shoutout to raise the alarm about this unhuman juncture. It is, way past time we get to know who we are, and what being human actually entails, cuz we are far more amazing than I suspect we realize and yet, we’re quickly coming in as 2nd rate dispensable; not just as workers, but as pureform humans too. Then did Trump come along; the other cautionary alarm weaved throughout Our Story. I can’t edit out what Trump so perfectly personifies, as that negates the premier, high-caution alarm history teaches us—never to be remiss of. The Power Dance of Time; of Gods, rulers and us—the great mass, is an entwined confoundment. Artificial intelligence is, an unseen turn of events, and like it or not, this is — the watch detail we landed.
My morning after gloom has eased, and my forever hopeful optimism is shining thru again. Which, hope is another millions-old DNA perk we come into this world with, and those who live trying to stay centered on our packet of perks, will be those who begin what must begin cuz naturally, we look for the light at the end of the tunnel. We then roll up our sleeves, and get to work building on — hopeful potential. That’s really, our only option. Sure, life isn’t always a bowl of cherries for anyone but when the pits are all I see, the wisdom of Václav Havel usually reboots my outlook back to center. Hope, isn’t a conviction that things turn out well. Hope, is a conviction to do what’s right — regardless of how things turn out.

Mojo-Grit. The Mornings' After, November 5th, 2024.
The struggle to bridge our mindset gripped by what we have just done; back 15 years ago to the onset of where The Story of Our Times awaits, has taken form in the previous 4, standalone 1-pagers, intended to run consecutively in any receptive periodical and online outlet I can wiggle thru the doors of. Periodicals might run those pages, but likely won’t run this last bridging effort; word-count restrictions are a thing—as are other restrictions, and I manage to run smack into restrictions. So, this last bridge is a 4-pager, and geared for online outlets where there, I’ll ask a few Substack scholars; Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Robert Hubbell, to dovetail their wisdom onto--Our Story. We learn from experts/scholars, and I appreciate their offerings so hopefully, they’ll take me up on my offer and, lend their readership this way; to be their readership, surely means they come with the much-needed perspective to get started with, and I don’t care if they lean blue. That camp, is far more aligned with our core-default than Trump’s camp, which used to be the red camp! Well, both red/blue camps aligned with our core-default; though albeit in their distinct ways, until—Trump came along. No telling what’s gonna happen to the republican platform now but Trump, forced many republicans to go blue; not an easy choice for any red/blue loyalist so kudos to them! Although, if many did vote blue, that makes the bulky middle look even worse! Jeez! What were we thinking? But, since Trump did force a platform shedding, the Centrist platform now has a slice to finally, bust our own move dangit! Honestly, if we’ve learned anything, let it be that a Democracy must have at least 3 viable choices we can get behind! FYI: viable, means Trump’s no-scruples platform, doesn’t make the qualifier cut.
Post November 5th 2024, here’s what’s now indisputable. Via history, we know a barrage of bombastic untruths worked wonders on uninformed masses. Our sobering lesson is—we now know it works on freer-than-ever, now-educated masses. And, we now know how wondrously, the greatest info-deluge ever concocted, not only submerges our sensibilities, but floats ignorance right to the surface. We all know, that deluge is the primo menace in the nightmare we now have but, I suspect we think it only works wonders on the ignorant, or anyone but us—personally. Well, to look back at our 30-year group shot, we can see its impact developing, we just can’t deny its impact now. Seriously, even scholars and experts are ignorant of many things. The proof now in the pudding isn’t about our illiterate/ignorant, but about everyday-us, who either neglected to remember, or needs to learn—how things went down in past eras. This is the page--all of us, first need to get on.
For those still uncertain about why, we can’t afford another Trump spin; and/or anyone not yet physically sick of reading Trumpism's, jump to Part XIII Trump Exposé, if needed. Just come back here when done. We need all hands on deck. For all, still-rational others, I believe this bridging effort is sufficient enough to put Trumpisms in the rearview for a bit, to begin what must begin. Now, I need to paint myself in.
The Story of Our Times, is written from a middle ground, everyday commoner’s perspective, who happens to be a forever hopeful optimist, who began what refuses to end, when my kids were teens. I now have grandkids. These are important tidbits. I am no scholar by any measure, nothing about this comes easily for me so be sure to cut me some damn slack, and it will always be forever hopeful-us, who reach for potential. But what drives any of us to begin what must begin, will always be--for the future of our own progeny. So, you can expect this offering to include hope inspired considerations, just don’t expect a scholars hand—mans the pen. And though I’m grateful to be living a modern-day American life, everyday commoner says it all. Just as any, tax-paying, law-abiding, worker-bee commoner, I live a full-plate life too. This means I not only don’t, have the mula to hire a ghostwriter and publicist to disseminate what I passionately believe can do the trick, I simply don’t have the time to figure out--just how to write Our Story and then do it, but to then also, find more time to build a social network base to get this aloft! There’s plenty of reasons why it’s taken me 15 years just to get this far but basically, these are the only valid ones.
The Story of Our Times; the for better or worse reality of who we are and the watch detail we landed, is a starterplate. In total, this offering is a 3-week, read together commitment. Considering winter is a great time to read, that’s not a hard ask. It’s intended to be our gathering place to amass, to then resonate our voice, to then build our very own solution-based center to elevate what the bulk of us, can put our weight behind. We can, show how consensus gets built, and all without using sleazy tactics! I’ve done much of the gnarly grumbling for us so we can, respectfully go about our business; the polar opposite of what Trump did with our angst wave after hijacking it. It, is now fueled by fear, anger, righteousness, hate, and those waves only spiral down. Anyone still in-need of those fixes, just come back when you’ve had your fill, and ready to help build--an uplifting wave.
January 6th, 2021. The very day, Trump disqualified himself from ever garnering our trust and respect. All of us. This includes those who stooped to give him the free pass he spent 4 years dividing us just to get. Jack Smith and Liz Cheney are at the top of Trump’s retribution list, and they’ll be the first to pay the price for being patriots, simply doing their due-diligence job. Trump’s schoolyard bully mentality, in full view. Is this really what MAGA now stands for? This is just a snippet of what’s to come, if we don’t move to protect our Democracy and--the pillars of trust and integrity. Realize: if Trump can’t sleaze his way to his autocrat/tyranny glory via the judicial/congressional branches, he will pull out the war drum which is precisely where down spiral waves head, precisely why he fueled it with hateful vitriol. War; the surefire way to get immortalized, is Trump’s greatest need of all.
The considerations to how, we allowed a bully to jerk us backwards into what’s so damn timeworn, overshadows all Trumpism’s combined, and indicates an insidious canker grows in us, that no civilized society can afford to ignore before civilized, no longer prefaces their society, and that’s without an egomaniac on the loose. We, are the force of nature, not Trump. He simply knew we were ripe for the pickin’s, and ran with the 101 power playbook ploys which are so non-novel now, he truly is running a has-been show. Luckily, history alerts us to how those roll, which brings us to our vigilantly wary responsibility.
Quickly, we implement some preemptive, just-in-case measures. We must trust our integral-selves, pull on our own mojo-grit, and reinforce our societal parameters; the default key for our survival. We must do our due-diligence via integral outlets. While at it, reelevate them which we should’ve done way back anyway. In that, the fastest way to turn things around would be to turn off FOX. There can be no question now, as to the havoc they alone created. FOX, boasts a 90% subscribership and if that’s true, the red camp isn’t the only ones tuned into their brand of newsyiness so yes, approx 75% of us need to unplug FOX! They have earned--their ICU hemorrhaging turn! We can turn off Trump-anything including state of the union speeches, and anything else we cleverly think up! We keep tabs on what Trump is up to via integral outlets, and January 20th would be a great time for this great mass to unplug FOX! Considering the inauguration is 10 days away and this is where I’m at, a small miracle would have to occur for this rally cry to soar! But, I’m forever hopeful so I will, get this posted today! The small miracle, is up to whoever stumbles onto this. Basically, we forgo subjecting ourselves to anymore overstuffed Trump promises and outright lies. Our non-acceptance will speak volumes, and we’ll be saner for it.
To our military and law-enforcing brothers and sisters, please keep your oath to serve our nation in clear view; the land and people. Trump, already proved he’s an embarrassment to the very term--commander-in-chief, on January 6th 2021. What Trump’s flagrant big lie fomented, what he did zilch to stop but gleefully rallied, is one inglorious stain on America. A thoroughly exhaustive, expensive investigation then followed; which we all got to pay for, and found no evidence--the election was stolen. This Trump expense alone, dropped us from our top tier spot on the world scale of Democracies, right down to the 41st spot. America; the very beacon of Democracy, now resides between Cuba and Bulgaria. Yeah, I’m just a commoner but I still know integrity, comes fused right into the word patriotic.
There’s no need for patriotic-us, to ever believe what Trump spews, no need to be surprised when he keeps to his lies. Trump loves to rewrite history. A whole world of us will never forget--how it really went down, on January 6th,2021. Currently, he’s rewriting why California is on fire; say’s its Biden’s fault, Newsom’s; anybody who didn’t fall for his cape is always faulted. That’s par, for this no-commander. Meantime, our commander-in-chief is busy curtailing devastation, dispatched thousands of firefighters, is providing whatever is needed. Canada and Mexico are helping. Everyone is helping. Everyone but Trump.
As genuine patriots, we must still hold the oval office chair in our highest esteem. We can refer to the chair; the oath it represents, but respectfully decline to utter the squatter’s name. He’ll be so overstuffed with himself by the time he steps into that office, he’ll probably replace that chair with a gold-plated throne anyway. I’m not being too, overtly glib since he’s the one that’s already calling his Mar-a-Largo, the epicenter of the world.
This round wasn’t the typical, red/blue tug-n-pull. This time, was all about altruistic vs self-serving elitism. For any country’s great mass, altruistic will always be the good choice so this was a real-live, good vs evil round. Evil won, so nightmare is apt. The eventual but guaranteed evil, every Democracy must stand guard against, is the hard truth we get to endure for the next 4 years. Sure, we could extend the respect our consensus deserves, had Trump not blatantly disregard us, our country, our Democracy. As it stands, Trump earned this unparalleled exemption. The guard changes in days. Busting out some preemptive moves now, is a helluva lot better than a should’ve, but just didn’t bother.
Those who did our due-diligence job, came in as the minority on November 5th but not by much and that gap will soon shrink simply cuz Trump, made a whole lotta empty promises he can’t keep, and even rational republicans know this. Besides, he’ll chink his veneer off soon enough anyway--and all by himself. Patriotism, applies to homeland nations and for us, that’s Democracy. To appreciate just how precious such a reality is, check-in on the lives of those who still live oppressed. That should kick gratitude right back into view! But for free world individuals to qualify as patriotic, Democracy must come first and foremost above all other roads that lead to Rome cuz Democracy--is Rome. Too many, put other roads first. Trump’s insurrection, his retribution vows and his assurance that republicans will never need to vote again, must be taken seriously! Trump, is banking on us to falter. We can’t keep faltering! What’s so damn dismal about a silent bulk, is also well-patterned and largely why we ended up in such a mess! Italian philosopher Danté spoke of us, and that was back in the 13th century! “In dangerous times, there is no sin--greater than inaction.”
The complexities of being equipped with emotions and conscious-realized awareness, is a mouthful meaning. This gets thoroughly explored in Our Story and in fact, ends up being most explored. But all topics, will be familiar to who this stands a chance to first attract, so it’s akin to preaching to the choir. But, it’s a new day. The great mass is, drowning in a great info-deluge. Sure, Trump outta be able to do a few good things for us cuz he’ll do whatever is good for himself. That’s just how elitism rolls. Trickle-up, used to trickle-down but again, it’s a whole new day. Elitism, now invests their wads in job-eliminating machines—not us. Yep. That gets thoroughly explored too. The reality is, the mass must stick together, here on out. We must not, keep to the tempo of manipulated division! A has-been egomaniac aspiring to be a tyrant, is not worth letting him tear us apart! C’mon! We bridge ourselves, we become the choir—quickly. Our choice: keep seeing our newday reality as a grim nightmare to endure, or, seize what is now a 4th, wakeup call Trump has provided us! We go backwards, or we push forward. Always. That’s how life rolls for communal-us. Seriously, how many 2nd chances do we require before we’ll seize our own damn window, to one extraordinary opportunity? Free world us can, take our very own ruling system Democracies up to their next very logical, forward-ho step! Everyone; red, blue, brown, green, purple, matters not. We are all in this together! Now’d be a good time to use a quote, but a song came to mind instead. If we can’t give a little, then we can’t get there from here ~ KWS.
Picking Up The Pieces.
The mornings after, November 5th, sapped whatever fumes I’d been running on leading up to that dreadful day. Then, the holidays then hit before I knew it. Now, it’s a new year. The first 1/3rd, to the 1st half, of this flock including this bridging effort; which took 2 months to create, are currently being posted. I’ll then set off into the big www.vastland to try my best to find ways to share, yet again--The Story of Our Times. The 2nd half, is still in a disarray so I’ll work on that next. Right now, I just need to whine a bit.
When I purged the old forum from a bot invasion; maybe 8 years ago now, I managed to purge all participants. My apologies. I miss you. But, that was basically the last straw. I closed shop, and didn’t bother to even check-in on this website for the next 4 years. Finally, some fortitude returned in 2020, so I hired a techie to rebuild Our Story’s home, and I resumed writing, updating and doing the endless editing that comes with what refuses to end. Well, time does fly so another 4 years flew. By late 2023, I was certain we’d deny Trump another spin, but when 2024 rolled-in, it brought a foreboding with it. By early spring, polls had us at a neck-n-neck race. Atop all his no-integrity actualities, Trump was now facing a host of charges and still, neck-n-neck held. My hopeful certainty, my growing foreboding, turned into a back-n-forth churning, that just kept rising. Like Springsteen sings: have mercy on a man, who doubts what he’s sure of.
After giving myself a huge peptalk, I determined to hatch one last fledgling, expressly for unsure voters; the part XIII Trump exposé. But, summer raced in overnight, and brought with it one tumultuous, rollercoaster ride. By September; still rollercoaster riding but also frantic cuz Part XIII should’ve been posted before summer, finally—I was ready to do so. This website, had long expired. It was nowhere to be found. I can’t find the words to convey how a rollercoaster gut; now curdled by full-on foreboding and full-on frantic--feels like.
For 15 years, all my disseminating efforts failed. My most recent failure, was merely a rerun. Frantic though, had me shredding apart any fledgling located anywhere near the Trump insert which, that’s also a rerun. A huge unraveling occurred every time, I inserted a hatchling into the lineup! Err!! There. I think I’m done whining, for now anyway.
Scholars and experts can best guide us, if they get to know just who, the bulky but dismally silent, American middle really is. But, we need to get to know ourselves too cuz if we will, we’ll find we’re much the same, just packaged in different ways and luckily for that! And though this starterplate can help us get on the same page, don’t expect me to hit all bullseyes, or cynicism will prevail—not us. And, there’s a perk that comes by not, getting the whole of Our Story posted at once. A lag time is now built in, giving newcomers time to catch up! Well, en-masse congregation is--thee must-have prerequisite. As gathering’s sprout, social-networking wizards can converge us, techies can build an interactive forum, guides can keep us on track and we will, build our voice to reverberate far and wide!
My whining over just some of the upheavals I’ve incurred—just to get this far, isn’t cuz I need sympathy. Although, I do feel better! The need, is to clearly see the value of wakeup calls. These inflame us. In order to seize extraordinary opportunities, we must pull on our grit. Democracies, deserve to be tugged forward. But if everyone expects this soldier of 1 to provide everything for us, Our Story will remain perched out in the big www.vastland, forever lonely. My social-networking/disseminating limitations alone, ensure that but the fact is—we, must seize this extraordinary opportunity. If we won’t, backwards is where waning Democracies will head. Forward or backwards. Nothing, remains stagnant for long.
I write with prevention in mind, and our progeny’s future is—square in my sights. We are clever, smart, capable, but we must trust and believe in ourselves. I will earn your trust, but you’ll need to first extend it. Considering trust comes real cheap nowadays, this shouldn’t be a hard ask either! Realize, a handful of social-networking wizards can begin in minutes, what used to take years. And to begin what must begin, is to participate in what we could--next write. Engage. The congregating start, awaits you: www.dancepartners.org.
The struggle to bridge our mindset gripped by what we have just done; back 15 years ago to the onset of where The Story of Our Times awaits, has taken form in the previous 4, standalone 1-pagers, intended to run consecutively in any receptive periodical and online outlet I can wiggle thru the doors of. Periodicals might run those pages, but likely won’t run this last bridging effort; word-count restrictions are a thing—as are other restrictions, and I manage to run smack into restrictions. So, this last bridge is a 4-pager, and geared for online outlets where there, I’ll ask a few Substack scholars; Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Robert Hubbell, to dovetail their wisdom onto--Our Story. We learn from experts/scholars, and I appreciate their offerings so hopefully, they’ll take me up on my offer and, lend their readership this way; to be their readership, surely means they come with the much-needed perspective to get started with, and I don’t care if they lean blue. That camp, is far more aligned with our core-default than Trump’s camp, which used to be the red camp! Well, both red/blue camps aligned with our core-default; though albeit in their distinct ways, until—Trump came along. No telling what’s gonna happen to the republican platform now but Trump, forced many republicans to go blue; not an easy choice for any red/blue loyalist so kudos to them! Although, if many did vote blue, that makes the bulky middle look even worse! Jeez! What were we thinking? But, since Trump did force a platform shedding, the Centrist platform now has a slice to finally, bust our own move dangit! Honestly, if we’ve learned anything, let it be that a Democracy must have at least 3 viable choices we can get behind! FYI: viable, means Trump’s no-scruples platform, doesn’t make the qualifier cut.
Post November 5th 2024, here’s what’s now indisputable. Via history, we know a barrage of bombastic untruths worked wonders on uninformed masses. Our sobering lesson is—we now know it works on freer-than-ever, now-educated masses. And, we now know how wondrously, the greatest info-deluge ever concocted, not only submerges our sensibilities, but floats ignorance right to the surface. We all know, that deluge is the primo menace in the nightmare we now have but, I suspect we think it only works wonders on the ignorant, or anyone but us—personally. Well, to look back at our 30-year group shot, we can see its impact developing, we just can’t deny its impact now. Seriously, even scholars and experts are ignorant of many things. The proof now in the pudding isn’t about our illiterate/ignorant, but about everyday-us, who either neglected to remember, or needs to learn—how things went down in past eras. This is the page--all of us, first need to get on.
For those still uncertain about why, we can’t afford another Trump spin; and/or anyone not yet physically sick of reading Trumpism's, jump to Part XIII Trump Exposé, if needed. Just come back here when done. We need all hands on deck. For all, still-rational others, I believe this bridging effort is sufficient enough to put Trumpisms in the rearview for a bit, to begin what must begin. Now, I need to paint myself in.
The Story of Our Times, is written from a middle ground, everyday commoner’s perspective, who happens to be a forever hopeful optimist, who began what refuses to end, when my kids were teens. I now have grandkids. These are important tidbits. I am no scholar by any measure, nothing about this comes easily for me so be sure to cut me some damn slack, and it will always be forever hopeful-us, who reach for potential. But what drives any of us to begin what must begin, will always be--for the future of our own progeny. So, you can expect this offering to include hope inspired considerations, just don’t expect a scholars hand—mans the pen. And though I’m grateful to be living a modern-day American life, everyday commoner says it all. Just as any, tax-paying, law-abiding, worker-bee commoner, I live a full-plate life too. This means I not only don’t, have the mula to hire a ghostwriter and publicist to disseminate what I passionately believe can do the trick, I simply don’t have the time to figure out--just how to write Our Story and then do it, but to then also, find more time to build a social network base to get this aloft! There’s plenty of reasons why it’s taken me 15 years just to get this far but basically, these are the only valid ones.
The Story of Our Times; the for better or worse reality of who we are and the watch detail we landed, is a starterplate. In total, this offering is a 3-week, read together commitment. Considering winter is a great time to read, that’s not a hard ask. It’s intended to be our gathering place to amass, to then resonate our voice, to then build our very own solution-based center to elevate what the bulk of us, can put our weight behind. We can, show how consensus gets built, and all without using sleazy tactics! I’ve done much of the gnarly grumbling for us so we can, respectfully go about our business; the polar opposite of what Trump did with our angst wave after hijacking it. It, is now fueled by fear, anger, righteousness, hate, and those waves only spiral down. Anyone still in-need of those fixes, just come back when you’ve had your fill, and ready to help build--an uplifting wave.
January 6th, 2021. The very day, Trump disqualified himself from ever garnering our trust and respect. All of us. This includes those who stooped to give him the free pass he spent 4 years dividing us just to get. Jack Smith and Liz Cheney are at the top of Trump’s retribution list, and they’ll be the first to pay the price for being patriots, simply doing their due-diligence job. Trump’s schoolyard bully mentality, in full view. Is this really what MAGA now stands for? This is just a snippet of what’s to come, if we don’t move to protect our Democracy and--the pillars of trust and integrity. Realize: if Trump can’t sleaze his way to his autocrat/tyranny glory via the judicial/congressional branches, he will pull out the war drum which is precisely where down spiral waves head, precisely why he fueled it with hateful vitriol. War; the surefire way to get immortalized, is Trump’s greatest need of all.
The considerations to how, we allowed a bully to jerk us backwards into what’s so damn timeworn, overshadows all Trumpism’s combined, and indicates an insidious canker grows in us, that no civilized society can afford to ignore before civilized, no longer prefaces their society, and that’s without an egomaniac on the loose. We, are the force of nature, not Trump. He simply knew we were ripe for the pickin’s, and ran with the 101 power playbook ploys which are so non-novel now, he truly is running a has-been show. Luckily, history alerts us to how those roll, which brings us to our vigilantly wary responsibility.
Quickly, we implement some preemptive, just-in-case measures. We must trust our integral-selves, pull on our own mojo-grit, and reinforce our societal parameters; the default key for our survival. We must do our due-diligence via integral outlets. While at it, reelevate them which we should’ve done way back anyway. In that, the fastest way to turn things around would be to turn off FOX. There can be no question now, as to the havoc they alone created. FOX, boasts a 90% subscribership and if that’s true, the red camp isn’t the only ones tuned into their brand of newsyiness so yes, approx 75% of us need to unplug FOX! They have earned--their ICU hemorrhaging turn! We can turn off Trump-anything including state of the union speeches, and anything else we cleverly think up! We keep tabs on what Trump is up to via integral outlets, and January 20th would be a great time for this great mass to unplug FOX! Considering the inauguration is 10 days away and this is where I’m at, a small miracle would have to occur for this rally cry to soar! But, I’m forever hopeful so I will, get this posted today! The small miracle, is up to whoever stumbles onto this. Basically, we forgo subjecting ourselves to anymore overstuffed Trump promises and outright lies. Our non-acceptance will speak volumes, and we’ll be saner for it.
