Politics for Poets

Merry Christmas!

But we want to talk about how Donald is the King of Hyperbole. We want to say that he uses that as a master negotiating tactic. That competent people understand that outrageous requests from reasonable people often results in toadies and sycophants coming up with actual solutions to real world problems. Everyone wants the coins that get scattered just on account of the success of a project.

What could be more important as a project than the love and respect of people in the world, that we would return to a sense of not being a shill for the money and oil and blood and depravity of a . . . dare we say it . . . certain class of people who, while they might not even exist except as a story concocted by operant conditioners and on-message propagandists to make us think lowly of other nations, in fact it does seem that this world does contain some measure of blatant selfishness.

I've always maintained that people, when confronted with their own selfishness, will break from that habit. They will rebel from them-self, decide that their 'wa wha waaa' is meaningless when poised against the real tyrannies of recent history. The actual depravities of out of control . . . what noun do we use to name these people? Out of control but not out of sight and mind. And within the fog of war sometimes emboldened to try and make 'impressive' 'strides' for 'cause'. Only what cause, what is the synonym for 'strides', and how does this all map out in The Book of Life, written in the blood of the victims of ever-forward-marching-whatever-it-is-ism. For Arabs, sometimes that seems to be their cause of culture, which they confuse with religion. And for the American Progressives, and Socialists, what is the forward marching cause? And then, those of us who aren't hypnotized or just too scared to speak sense, we see other causes. We see real injustice. And we know that religious or environmental passive or active warfare upon anyone is always a bad thing for all involved. The biggest losers in the battles caused by false causes are those who are hypnotized by those very same false causes. They followed the foolish leaders right over a cliff.

Is it a real cliff? In the story here, perhaps, in some sense. But we do need to take a stand, make our voice be heard. Like 'shut the window, it's cold in here.' or 'we've reached full occupancy, you'll need to wait till others exit.

It's still legal to have a private party, right? That's kind of like what a country is, in one sense. But it becomes a bummer when international banker enablers basically bribe newly elected officials of nations with low interest, for now, 'loans.' "Hey, here's some money up front that you can loot for your constituencies right away, eh. Just agree to these terms that you won't actually read." Take the money. Loot as much as you can. Move to London/New York/LA, Paris or other highly fashionable locale and try to blend right in.

The real truth is that money doesn't buy everything. And the best thing that a looter of public money can do with his/her/? loot is to salt it back into the constituency from which it was looted. That way who would ever blame the pol for having done what politicians are always expected to do: do good for the people, elevate their station.

But I'm not like Machiavelli, that double dealer. In the real world of politics back-stabbing and looting are dealt with. Perhaps just fictionally, like a Mario Puzo novel (I've never read him but I read a comment of his on a famous singer and it brought to mind some provisional grudges that ought to be forgotten, so why do I mention it now? A curiosity?). The real truth is that money that is borrowed and then looted, and then salted back to the community is a far worse thing because the cost of paying it back will always be very large. It will probably result in a certain loss of sovereignty. Oh well.

As far as Donald Trump goes, those who have followed his career might not really think that he's the best guy for the job (gal or otherwise, for the job). Even if we don't agree that Donald Trump is the best guy for the Presidency, and that he will be a hard edged negotiator, and that he will magically get his opponents to come up with all kinds of awesome and reasonable compromises by presenting the most aggressive theories of operations as researched: things that real leaders are allowed to do in a civil and moral society; things that he could do, but would only do if it was absolutely necessary.

Trump isn't suggesting suspending the Constitution or the Geneva Convention. Do those who are so outraged by him think Donald will be lawless like the current president and ignore Constitutional mandates? Maybe Mr. Trump should explain about all of Mr. Obama's lawlessness and how Mr. Trump will behave differently, and follow the great and awesome traditions of American Constitutional Law?

I don't know who those so-scared of Trump think he is going to be when he gets elected. Do they think there is a Mr. Hyde pill and that somehow, suddenly; instead of being a social darling, and tea-totaling hard-nosed negotiator, and deal maker; he becomes a cross between every despot that ever was?

In our world many people are beholden to bosses and monied managers, some of whom may be controlled by foreign governments. How deep does this go within our bureaucracy? Many of us fear to ask hard questions, or to describe what we see as institutional corruption because we see how litigious some people can become. And so it would be good for our nations to have politicians who aren't . . . paid for by . . . those who we dare not mention. And perhaps there is so much opposition to Trump by so many because they know that they are the paid-for ones. And maybe they fear that in the new world of not having a puppetized Federal Government of the United States of America, that their nonsense won't be in fashion anymore.

But how could they know? It has to just be a fear. And why are they afraid of Trump? (I really don't get why. He seems just so typically New York.)

I'm just telling stories, typing too fast. So, if you are afraid of Trump, what exactly is it that you are afraid of? Hyperbole? Because that is what he is doing. He does that to make you think. So you can come up with better solutions than his. He's a leader, and he lets other people think. He knows that is a necessary part. that way they can come up with solutions on their own, good solutions, and say to Trump (and to those who will elect Trump) "Here's a better solution than not letting any Muslims in"

And then hear him say "Great, yes, that is a great idea. Let's do that instead."

But with out that hyperbole, that excessive solution, the rest wouldn't be goaded into developing better solutions in contrast to the excessive one. And then we can all implement the better solutions, understanding that no one man, no Trump, no Obama, no one person of unknown gender or no one woman, is ever the 'solution' for all the problems of this modern world. We do need to work together. And we do need to solve or mitigate serious problem situations. And so, let Mr. Trump be Mr. Trump. He's a smart guy. And he's obviously smart enough to realize that all that he does and says isn't to be treated as holy action or scripture. And yes, I am sure, if you have a better idea than he does, he'll probably go with your idea.

Yes, I get that people disagree with him politically. But picture him as the John Belushi of politics. Ya, Trump's a tea-tottaller, but he's extreme, like Belushi was. Trump knows how to affect his audience.

You don't have to agree with him politically. But you don't have to hate him, either.

even Know-it-all-will-tell-yaa:
When people complaign about the words 
you use often they don't really want to 
hear what you have to say.

Linguistic Imperialism: a polemic of always disallowing the dialects of political opposition. Every word is parsed and misinterpreted, disrespecting the natural dialect of the opposition. Instead of giving ideas they end up having to defend the words that they say. They are thus prevented from expressing freely. Meanwhile the Liguistic Imperialist does and says whatever he/she/? wants to do.

For example, the strict requirement for the use of gender neutral pronouns is a form of Linguistic Imperialism. It is prescriptive, and not descriptive.

While it is a requirement for certain types of writing to do gender neutrality, the fussy perscribers often over do the use. And in the case of New York City there are strict and regressive fines for the improper use of pronouns for people of alternative politeness.
