Take a concept and totally corrupt it.

Affirmative action is now the act of seeking out news sources that affirm a point of view. Yours. It is comfortable and somehow empowering to hear Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity give voice to what you’ve been saying all along. As if.
Much the same way Trump takes his cues and talking points from Putin. Not an original thought or capacity for critical thinking. So boring.

This is how ridiculous we have become. But it’s not amusing. A coworker said to me,”the Democrats need to stop the sham impeachment and get back to the business of the country.” That’s original. Actually, the Democrats are about the business of preserving our democracy. You know, that thing that makes us different and special. Special now seems to mean mentally challenged.

It is clear now that the wagons are circled around Trump while the Democrats attempt to lob an arrow or two. They have inflicted minimal damage due mostly to affirmative action. No one outside DC and inside the bubble will receive the alien messages. Plenty of tinfoil to go around.

And so we are left to contemplate what our country, our democracy, will look like post Trump. It will certainly be irrevocably changed and not for the better. Maybe all the wing nuts believe all the Mexicans will move back home. Or die of the flu. Or perhaps they believe the Trump promise of the American dream, you know, that dream where white is right, women stay home and incest is best.

Sounds like paradise to me. Oh right. Global warming burned Paradise to the ground. Backup plan?
