The Elephant in the Room

People are dying because conservatives do not believe in the federal government.

People are dying because they believe in the conservative idea of the individual.

People are dying because of their conservative faith.

The Republican Party has died, and like a dead elephant in a river, the sickness is spreading downstream, devouring anyone who drinks from that water.

The argument is as old as the country states rights versus federal.

From Nixon to Mitch McConnell, from Paul Harvey to Rush Limbaugh, the hatred and doctrine of killing off the federal government have been preached through the decades.

This conservative movement within the Republican Party has had it with our Republic.

They have preached Nationalism, white Nationalism, where white men rule, and all others need not apply.

They no longer will tolerate women as being equal, or blacks, or browns, or Asians, or gays, or anyone not a white Anglo-Saxon male.

To that end, people like Newt Gingrich got the idea that they could slowly starve to death, the federal government.

They could slowly weaken it to the point where they could throw the government into a bathtub and drown it.

Their words.

They could restore the proper order of the world.

Their white male God and then his agents here on earth, the white male businessman.

They have preached the ideal of the independent man.

The rugged individual.

A person who does not need any assistance from their government or others.

This whole conservative mindset of killing off of the federal government is based upon the real personality disorder that these individuals all share.

It’s sociopathic.

It’s only about me and my needs and to hell with you or me.

This sociopathic mindset is found in conservative circles, on Wall Street, in corporations, in traditional religious faiths.

Either our way or the highway.

Kill them all and let God sort them out.

Their words.

As of today, it is apparent that 2020 has been canceled.

There is a tiger in our streets.

It has been made manifestly worse by this stand it alone, profit is king, screw the weak doctrine.

Blatant profiteering taking place by friends of this President.

Yet, the universe has a sense of dark irony that the mind which focuses only on themselves cannot, will not see.

Those that work together will survive.

Those that cooperate will thrive.

Those that share will prosper.

Those who partake in the beloved community will see the future.

Those who believe themselves immune to death because of their individualism, their isolation from community, their hatred of the federal government will find that Tiger will not overlook them.

Mortality is the great equalizer.

There is nothing sadder than a life lived alone.

We come together to share life and to have more of it.

Peace.
