Divide and Conquer
We can do that too.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
(We will get to this part)
Okay so I just wanted to express why I haven’t been writing as much, and why I haven’t been as interactive lately. The truth is, I burnt out. I am losing hope. I do not believe Trump will be impeached. I do not believe Democrats will end his term. Damage has been done that will take forever to be undone. I am going to rant about my own nihilism here first. I know I am not alone when I say I am EXHAUSTED, but there is still a way to fight back. Stay with me for a minute.
It really feels like the damage to our global market, our global attitudes, and the way we feel about each other will continue.
I see white supremacy (narcissism) gleaming with the feeling that they belong.
I see victims of child sexual assault in doubt that they will ever see justice. And I have very little hope that the child sexual assaults have ever stopped happening.
I see black people being hung from trees and I see it being swept under the rug, as suicide. When we all know it is not.
I see children torn from their parents.
I see people being beaten and shot in the streets by our government.
It gets worse every single day. Every morning there are 7 new fresh hells to cope with.
I have been dissociating more than ever. I have thrown my time into painting, and gaming online, and watching comfort movies. I have put a lot of time into making changes that will better my life, mental and physical health, and it has become an excuse to look away sometimes. I know we all have things going on, I know it isn’t just me, but when I have people relying on me to share news with them, and to find ways we can fight it, and I just don’t have any solutions left, I become lost. Sometimes even I look around and think that I just don’t see us getting out of this. We march, we canvass, we vote…. but will it even make a dent? Is the foundation of everything we’ve previously built as a country ever going to be fixed within our lifetimes?
I don’t think people are changing for the better.
I don’t think help is on the way after midterms.
Everyday there is a new thing to make me feel less hope. I know it’s what they want and everyone says that we shouldn’t fall into the groove they are digging for us… but what solution do we have? Even after that fat ugly pedophile dies, we still have an abundance of pretentious white cunts who think they can step in and continue the legacy of racism, sexism, ableism, anti-science, child endangerment and genocide.
Afterall, who is going to stop it? Sure, we try. But it’s clear our system is so corrupt and broken and messed up at this point.. I have nothing to believe in a lot of the time.
I do not think our strongly worded letters and poster boards are going to turn this shit around. I wish it would. Do we really believe our memes are going to bring a MAGA to the left? Who knows! Is humiliation something that can change a person, sure… but also, for a lot of these people… no. It isn’t. They would lick this mans toes if asked. We all know someone like that. Someone, who would make an excuse for anything Trump did, even if it was against everything they claim to care about. We know that there are people who have been killed by their own families for not liking Trump. A girl was shot by her own father. History has so many stories just like these. When you read about wars where people fought their own brothers -This is the hatred they had.
I have family members of my own, whom I will never talk to again, because they could go left tomorrow and I would still never forgive them for this. I am not the only one. We are divided. And even when we try to be kind to those who leave MAGA, you have to know that they still want the same things they wanted before. Just because they are no longer MAGA doesn’t mean they suddenly love the gay and trans communities. It doesn’t mean they want women to have autonomy. It doesn’t mean they support socialist ventures to better the community. It doesn’t mean they are suddenly not Nazis or racists. Something is fundamentally wrong with them. Not all of them, but a lot of them.
Sometimes I think that the lead-poisoned old folks make up the majority of his following. Is the solution for their time to pass? Or for THEM to pass? Are we waiting for the asteroids to come for the dinosaurs or? Sorry to be so harsh, but I genuinely think about this sometimes. And what about the “PICK ME!” women? The ones jumping on this Trump train in order to find husbands? That cannot be worth it. What if he cheats or leaves them and they have no job experience? What do they do then? We could go on about all the different archetypes of MAGA out there, but the point here is that it does surpass the amount of old people with lead poisoning. The asteroids can come but there will still be Nazis left over.
What gives you hope? I would suggest the youth but half of them have lost a good 4 years, at least, of their education and what they are being taught now is not going to be close to our educations. Everything has been watered down. They don’t know so much of history or how things work and that is because we didn’t fight hard enough for their education. I want to believe that they will make the world better, but we have to give them the ability to, and I don’t know if a lot of them have that right now.
We have problems that are deeply rooted in education. You know what I mean I am sure, but I would like to bring something up very specific here for a moment, to show you that it is so much bigger and more secretive than you previously thought. Things going on, that most people DO NOT know about.
Right before this term I turned in a federally funded women’s republican group in TN, because they left up their reading list on their website. That reading list implied Hitler was a great leader. Imagine. Every state has multiple sectors. This same group, multiplied across the United States. Nothing was ever done and they never lost funding. They denied it.
If you want to learn more about that, here is my previous article about it :
Are The Tennessee Republican Federation of Women Being Investigated Further or Not?
The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) has recently found itself at the center of a firestorm of controversy after a children's reading list, which praised Adolf Hitler as an “intelligent leader,” was made public. The document, titled "Growing American Patriots Through Literacy," was intended to promote patriotic education, but its inclusio…
Why am I bringing this up now? Because it’s now been years, and I doubt they faced any repercussions for this at all. My biggest fear though, is that this education continues. That this hateful, racist, rhetoric is being taught to children in every state of this country, in multiple districts, with no regulation. Not only that, but that WE ARE PAYING FOR IT. I think about this all the time. It’s just one group, but it spans across the country. Right under our noses. There is a whole generation growing up on this. How do we fight that? Can we fight that? My opinion is that, more needs to be done. No investigations happened, and I doubt there ever will be.
We are fighting against so many factors. Sure we know about a lot of them, but there are also many that hide in the dark. What do we do? How do we stop this?
When it comes to groups like this, one way is to infiltrate them. To go to their luncheons, and to be handed these pamphlets, so that we can document what goes on in them. It takes organizing. We need someone to organize exactly this. Someone who has reach. However, this also cannot be blasted all over socials. You cannot infiltrate a group that is waiting for you to infiltrate it. Unfortunately I do not have that person in mind and I myself do not have the reach. We can however talk about what we already know, without talks of infiltration, in order to begin the organizing we need in secret. This would be very investigative journalism, but it may just work in forcing this secret into the light.
So what about everything else? Trump? His little worker elves? Because a general strike is too hard on the people. We have to tear the right apart from each other. Once dissent can begin inside the system, the weaker it becomes. And yes that does include voting out AIPAC candidates, and voting in socialists who care about making immediate change that is positive. It also includes pushing Trump’s cronies to leave him behind. To agree with each other that continuing to support Trump and the way he does things is not the future of their party. Keep their phones ringing off the hook. Put the pressure on them. Make them see that THEY are liable for the things they support, and what that makes THEM look like. It also involves legal suits against those supporting legislators for their corruption and their lies. Make THEM accountable for what Trump does. You may be thinking that Trump is the one who needs blaming, and you are correct, BUT- when you single each of the cronies out and make them the accountable ones, they become less likely to do it again. How many times do we press charges? Every time.
We need to really start thinking about how to push harder and to achieve this insider separation. I wish I had more hope to bring, but times are very bad right now. It is okay to admit we are tired. It is okay to admit we feel beaten down. We are, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t still stronger than he is.
If you are still here, I guess that means my rant made SOME sense. Hopefully…

I agreed with everything you delineated . I also feel lost and the small storm of chaos continues to grow into the depths of depravity. I understand your feelings of hopelessness and how it seems. It will never end and it just becomes a slap on the rest and occasional twins. But nothing is really changing. Trump has the capacity to destroy the entire planet and I estimation. He’s doing a pretty good job of it.
Please don't stop, I beg you, who is going to laugh at my funny terminology and stick 🏒 it right back in my face. Al my life I have battled for what I thought was the thing to do. I raised my kid's missing out on our best years together, went thru a major separation that almost cost me my last 🫁. I had lost all hope. My twins and my ex girlfriend had married a Berber and I had the honor to take care of him for ten hard but awesome years. Today it is devastating to see people suffer I a degree without precedent. I know you are probably going to lunch me for saying this but please, please , just take it not from me but from the 👍 great Mr.Finkelstein who does not want to play the People suffered narrative we all at a certain degree had ancestors that suffered, I know I do, convinced you do to. I am an data privacy freak, geo-political retard, and a history buff as well as a TAG , Bipolar with more than a sprinkle of ADHD. Coming out of major depression and a PTSD. I spend twenty hours a day overheating two Androids 😭 My heart out until last night. G-D always sends me signs and these days I manifest at a incredible pace at a point when I speak to my bud on over the 🤳 boom 💥🤯 there it is with a sprinkle of glitch to top it all 📴. Everyone concerned and everything is right in front of our faces. It's just that the Palestine people are the ultimate sacrifice, as well as all the Iranian girls in the school at the beginning of this conflict. Ukrainian,the African Women' and 🌱 girls in the files that we all know. As well as the Russian, Jewish, and everyone else I did 🚫 mention. Don't look at AIPAC but APOC and keep an open mind and I am convinced your 😃 taste and hunger for creating the 😃 content you always do and your are more than qualified to accomplish.
