Spinning to Victory!

There it is again, the Social Media forge.  Now it is about not supporting Mr. Trump. Which is fine and dandy, but remember that their big leauge competitors are keeping information from us. Maybe he was reaching out to people and had something to say. Yet they jumped on him, because they have first hand knowledge of who he really is. Most of us need the time to sort through the charade.

The dumb people in this country may never figure that Trump is not for real. So that is the real danger, the lurking Nixonian sense of grabbing on to a majority of any means. 

I have become concerned because the elements of making a facade are fading, and who knows what is liable to come next. The spinning was limited to a hushing sense in the last few months, now it will come back with a vengeance, punishing those who dared to question the better judgement of the establishment. They will brown nose Trump on the issues while quietly steering Hillary away from the issue that were brought to light in recent months. It will steer away from any matters of substance, and we will be left scratching our heads.

 

At the very least we saw how the rigged system was working. I am not the only one who felt that sense of creepy loss, the oh, well I guess we will go with who we got feeling. That is because, who they really wanted did not get picked, so they are rallying behind the second best candidate. Their heart is not completely in it this time, and they are a bit more vulnerable to the element, but do not let that fool you, they will be making an assault on our better judgment very soon. 

I hope the Sanders people make a go at establishing some grassroots system, like Howard Dean did in 2004. Dean's campaign was a birthday candle in comparison to Sanders. I became involved in it many years ago, even though I was not a supporter of Dean. Within two years, with our choice candidate defeated, it was obvious that we did not have the right to make our own decisions. 

With Sanders, however, the difference will be felt with much more depth. If they can make their supporters understand that candidates, of all levels of government built from a grassroots base, is what makes the biggest difference, if they can sustain that through november and the upcoming, years, then maybe they can really go for the change that they were aiming for. That, however, takes, hard work commitment, and and smarts to challenge the criminals that have sieged our government at all level.

I was only able to attend three rallies of the primaries, two in the last few weeks. They were all insightful, and gave me an impression of who they really were. If only I could have caught a glimpse of Mr Trump, circa last summer. In that case I would have easily made the decision to not support him.
