This election is the baby boomer’s last hurrah


 


Saturday, October 31, 2020
 
We're at the last weekend before the election and media has gone apeshit again spouting the terror of covid-19 and the dangers of re-electing Trump.
The GOP is scaring people with the idea that if Trump and Biden tie, Nancy Pelosi would serve as president.
Pelosi and Trump hate each other so much that if they were both in the same city when an earthquake it, they would blame each other for causing it.
But Pelosi comes from a state where earthquakes are so common, most people shrug them off. This is perhaps why they keep reelecting her, knowing that she like all-natural disasters is inevitable.
You have to wonder why Democrats and media are so intent on getting rid of Trump when the fact is for the last 4 years things have gone will despite all of the rhetoric
What has not gone well is the fact that the Democratic party has not had its fingers in the economic till so they cannot steer grants to their favorite people.
You have to admire Democrats like Pelosi who somehow manage to get rich on the salary they make while serving in public office. They must really know how to pinch pennies or cut out coupons.
Democrats love taxes as long as they can find a way for someone else to pay for them. This is what carbon credits are all about – and you know that someone farther down the food chain is making out, but it’s generally not the person busting his or her back to pay for it. Most working people are near drowning in the swamp Trump promised to drain.
All elections are about money not about politics how to steer the tax dollar to your favorite group rather than the one the other party favors.
This is also a problem for Trump because the GOP has been just as guilty of doing this kind of cash laundering as the Democrats have which is why so many mainstream Republicans like George Bush and Company are against Trump.
Like it or not Trump broke up The Insider Club and this has really irritated things like the Washington Post and the New York Times which are members of that club even though they pretend to not to be.
It must be difficult for a Washington Post reporter to criticize those people he or she shares cocktails with.
As much as everybody is screaming and yelling and saying this is the election to the century it is just another election and even though the Democrats are promising to alter the nature of the Constitution they probably won't be able to
Despite the cancel culture culture, the Founding Fathers were much more Savvy when it came to change and made fundamental change very difficult to avoid mob rule – the kind we keep seeing in places like Portland.
So at the end of the day you will have the morons spouting rhetoric but will be very ineffective when they do claim power.
In many ways, we are about to watch a change in culture whether we like it or not the new generation taking over with and ideology that is completely scary to the generation who got used to having her own way.
The Baby Boomers have dominated every aspect of American Life since we came on the scene and now as we exit we are cringing at the fact that the young now have ideas of their own as inappropriate as they might be and are bound and determined to test the waters with them and we are helpless to stop it.
For many of us, this is our last hurrah, and by the next presidential election, we will be lost in the dust of posterity, leaving the counter culture in charge.
The counterculture people are eventually going to fall on their faces because of such movements as proven by prohibition and the other so-called moral Crusades have never been validated.
Ill-thought-out ideas for change are always a problem and cause more suffering than they cure such as the reconstruction after the Civil War which literally created racism in the South that largely did not exist prior to the Civil War.
We are watching also the rotting of Institutions that we had too much faith in from the start --  newspapers and television and Internet news that we finally have to realize we're never objective and never had our best interest.
If there is one Shining Light in all of this hysteria over the death rate of covid-19 and the burning of our cities is that media has been exposed as a fraud and people who are intelligent enough we realize that we can never trust media again in the future. No matter who wins this election media is lost and the people have gained
