Anyone else ready to think about leaving the US now?
I know......jobs, kids, family, etc. Of course, all important reasons to stay put. But Jesus H. Christ. What does it take to make you wonder, for real?
I can only see this latest horror as another signal of the collapse of the American Empire, in the way that every previous empire has collapsed of its own accord. Surely, ours will follow suit. Or so one can hope.
We're deeply disturbed by the just won presidency by a person who ought never to have been taken seriously by virtually anyone, let alone gotten himself elected to this office. And of course it isn't just the presidency. It's the control of Congress and the Supreme Court as well, with seemingly no real limits in place to temper the onslaught of heightened insanity that is about to come. True madness here. Diagnosable pathology. The real deal. The damage that will be done is....................well, I was going to say unthinkable, but I know better now. Now I'd say it's predictable.
If we thought the economic collapse starting in 2008 has been bad, I think it's entirely reasonable to be expecting something of an even greater magnitude now. Will we see bread lines again in the good ole US of A? Will Social Security as we know it disappear? Medicare? Certainly, it seems, The Affordable Health Care Act will get repealed, with no elected power to stop it. Legal abortion rights?
Planned Parenthood? Medicaid? Food Stamps? Higher education out of reach for all but the super rich? Climate Change accords, finally signed, now ignored?
Achhh. Who knows where it will all end? Well, it's been a while since the world has seen a large, major Fascist State dedicated to the worship of a morally bankrupt, but "charismatic" personality. Maybe it's time again. The cycle of things. The Kali Yuga. The Wheel of Samsara.The raison d'etre of Planet Earth?
May all beings be happy. May we remember to allow for the evolution of souls in the midst of the devolution of governments. May compassion not be lost, especially. May we understand more deeply the surrender to that wisdom which we cannot see or fully comprehend. Shit happens. Always has. Always will. And so does Grace, let us not forget.
Be well, my friends. Be kind.
