Begun on November 11, 2024…
With acknowledgement to all of our dearly departed service men and women.
Well, judging by this year’s election results — I suddenly find myself in the minority — so I think I shall leave off of political discourse — as over half the country wanted the Donald (despite his many flaws); and, this despicable man has already occupied 8 years of my thinking and writing: I really don’t have the energy to devote another four!
I have said all that I wanted to say on the subject of King Donald and his entourage; suffice to say — the moment I hear a Trumpian complaint about the Deep State — I will definitely have a response! I mean how could the Deep State have survived this Trumpian massacre to offer resistance to what must now be called, The Cult of Trump?
So, no more Republican excuses when things go horribly wrong — which an adherence to Project 2025 will surely engender. If the reports be true (and who knows what ‘truth’ is anymore) this Project 2025 manifesto is the guiding baby of King Donald’s evangelical base. And when some weird-ass cult gains control of the populous — woe to all of US.
In a selfish plug for thenewdoctorsinn on “X” — I made mention of the fickle Roman mob (that Cult of Trump) who will initially support Caesar’s assassins (the evangelicals) — until a Mark Antony came along to sway the mob’s opinion. The mob tore some of the conspirators apart, literally!
I personally would go after those zealots that have TV stations and luxury jets to fly church heads hither and thither.
A comparison of Trump to Caesar only holds water if the evangelicals (the Roman senators) turn on King Donald — which is not such a distant possibility should King Donald aspire to become the North Star and tax the many non-profit religious entities to fill the monarchy’s coffers. And, after missing out on the COVID vaccine windfall — I doubt King Donald will let any money-making opportunities slip from his hands this time around!
But who would be our Mark Antony? Might it be J.D. Vance?? This shrewd, clever fellow who got on the fast-track to the presidency?? He does seem to have Shakespeare’s Antony’s skill with words — as evidenced in his debate with vice president nominee Walz.
“And sure these are honorable men” said Antony of the conspirators — while intimating that they were dishonorable. Meanwhile J.D. was consigned to exchanging pleasantries while scheming behind those baby-blue eyes to slam the Democrats — while tasting his proximity to the presidency.
History does seem to be repeating itself in New Rome (the Republic of which all-of-US are a part).
Like Caesar before him — King Donald presumes absolute power. Whether this unsettles the evangelical base that helped get him elected remains to be seen. I think it will, as King Donald is certainly not a professed Christian. And where he sees a pile of money (like the coffers of the US Department of Education [and non profits]) — he is bound to go after it.
Many, many wealthy Americans have their money hidden in charities and non profits — and who knows this better than King Donald?
You’ll notice that I have not mentioned Congress nor the Supreme Court in the examination of the upcoming power restructuring — and for good reason — there are not enough of them with steel balls or brass tits to mount a challenge to the monarchy.
All I can say to the king is: Beware the Ides of March…
