Delightfully unapologetic for my congenital weirdness. I don’t bite but still can. Aesthete. Synth freak. Punk philosopher of the Mystic variety. Here for the headtones, audio plugins and horrifying spectacle of mass psychoses.

But, yes, Sharon, it is absolutely painful. We learn to bear it, and, in doing so, discover Truth is lived.❤️🔥 Our victories are hard won - and always in the present moment.🌞🌻

Foresight is a grievous thing, and Self-knowledge, being predicated on understanding the dynamics of human experience, confers as much of it as one can bear. Even so, the bliss of ignorance is cheap and fragile, whereas the anguish of awareness is instructive. Elucidating. Even transformational.

Stephen King has long demonstrated a firm grasp of human nature, but the Fascist playbook since time immemorial could fit on one side of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, double-spaced with indentions and 14-point Courier.

“The grownups in the room.”
Even this cliché was copped from Republicans. “Fiscal conservatives” in the GOP enjoyed a virtual monopoly on it for many years.
Appropriation is the totality of the DNC's modus operandi. It’s been a race to the bottom for decades.

The REAGAN DEMOCRAT mythos left a permanent stain on the DNC and the psyches of loyalists who now *only* care about elections - not the consequences of habitually supporting duplicitous sycophants. It is used to justify every transgression, capitulation, violation and betrayal.
And here we are.☠️

The reasons are many, but excuses are Dem voters’ stock in trade. “We don’t have the votes.” Right. Because “we” shrug off gerrymandering, electoral reform, a living wage and everything else plutocrats oppose. Dems accustomed to making deals with The Devil are now shocked to learn they’re employees.

Paradoxically, the hierarchical edicts emanating from the DNC's cynical, unprincipled consultancy class are often begrudgingly accepted by a rank & file which, over time, defends them as though they’re grassroots initiatives. Dem politics reflect a deeply ingrained culture of learned helplessness.

That same spirit infused everything Sly Stone touched during the brief but intense intense cultural reign of Sly & the Family Stone. Playful. Unorthodox. Sensual. Dangerous. They put the groove in groovy and the funk in funky.

LOL @ "nation of laws.”
That cliché should have died when the actions of coup-plotting legislators and other prominent political figures went wholly unanswered by the Justice Department.
DHS could at least use a proper emoticon.😉

You’re not supposed to talk about that.
Thanks for talking about that.

The usual way. A handful of opportunists increased their financial and social capital at incalculable expense to people and planet.

You’re the one not thinking things through.
ICE is the tip o’the spear.
The objective is a full-scale military occupation.
We’re witnessing an operational white ethno-terror state supported by the USSC, 119th Congress and US military.
The writing has been on the wall for many years.
READ IT.

Congratulations, Edward. You are now a fully credentialed Democratic Strategist. Please don’t forget to invoice the DNC. They will pay it, no questions asked.
