Politics like a bad Marvel Comics movie

 



Friday, January 15, 2021
 
New social justice warriors seem to be living in the middle of a self-created Marvel Comic movie, picturing themselves in the title roles of superheroes they most admire from the more than a little deluded Chris Pratt version of Captain America to the more iconic character of Iron Man.
We have would be Spidermen swinging on threads through the fabric of political conflict in the illusion that they are upholding good against evil.
We have Black Lives Matters as various characters from the well-made, if not complete accurate Black Panther movies, and so many Star Lords and Groots from the Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Most protests such as Portland bring out the usual parade of Hulk and Thor, Antman, Red Witch and Quick Silver.
All of these deluded people – if not dressed in costume, then thinking themselves dressed up like that, as if at a comic book convention, all of them painting President Donald Trump at the ultimately evil Thanos.
Obama, of course, plays the old of the power-hungry Nick Fury, the agent of SHIELD dedicated to protecting – if not the planet from alien invasion, then his own questionable legacy.
The agenda behind this fiction is nothing more than an old-fashioned Democratic power grab, worthy of Shakespeare where everybody claims they are fighting for social justice when they come out of the back room with hands still dripping with blood.
Today’s politics is like a Shakespearian version of the Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil where all the Sinners are Saints.
The characters in this modern morality play better line up with Shakespeare than they do Marvel, at least, when it comes to the main players – with Biden as a kind of bewildered King Lear, just grateful that someone gave him a home and allows him to play the part of King.
In some ways we have Biden as the old version of Captain America sitting in the White House with his broken shield, pretending like he actually belongs there as his band of Cutthroats had actually cheated and lied to get him there.
He is just grateful that no one really cares whether he's a fraud as long as he lets his strings get pulled and says what he is told to say.
This is a plot rich with side stories of King Richard's and King Henry's of Life full of intrigue and backstabbing and blatant power grabs by greedy Democrats all, who are behind the curtain waiting to see what comes next.
Behind the scenes there is Obama as a vicious version of Othello jealous about his power and his need to control his legacy.
And that of course fear is Hillary Clinton as Madam Macbeth who's the real culprit in that play driving everybody to grab power that she can't get for herself.
If anything, Trump is Caesar with a full line up of former White House staff contending for the role of Brutus, each waiting for a book deal to push the dagger deeper into the already dead body of their former boss.
Both sides have their share of Falstaff – the manipulative power broker behind the scenes who pulls the strings to get his puppets to do his bidding, although the front runner for this role is George Soros on the Democratic side.
The Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and their associated media entourage are clearly the court jesters, spinning their imaginary tales for the public to accept as fact, selling us a forecast of rain each time Trump makes them piss in their pants.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are clearly the Antony and Cleopatra of our time, not foiled by Caesar as much as by Biden – who apparently used the same pollical mechanism to cheat them in the primary as he used to steal the election from Trump later on.
Meanwhile, we get the gang of five playing the witches in Macbeth, foretelling us the evil future we can expect when the new king become king.
But Shakespeare is a little too complex for the current crop of social justice warriors to accept or understand, leaving Marvel as a better model for their protest, super stupid superheroes locked into the illusion that the world is basically just good and evil, painting Thanos Trump as the great evil, when there is plenty of evil manipulating them on their side.
The Democrats are the ones with the bloody fingers and the voices plotting to stir up the wrath of Othello. They are the ones grabbing for the Infinity stones, grabbing up each piece of government in their iron fist so that they can rule without challenge.
They are the ones who want Trump supporters to vanish off the planet with a simple snap of their fingers, watching every one of them go up in dust as if they never existed.
I would try to sell this as an episode in the new Marvel TV show only the great giants of social media would not allow it to be aired.
They are scared that Prince Hamlet – Giuliani – who runs around the country trying to convince the world that the conspiracy is real and expose their inner mechanisms.  He can no longer get space on any network because the networks have already been consumed by the Beast and are terrified that they will vanish in a puff of smoke once the Democratic Beast snaps his finger.
This partly explains why we are watching Republicans caving in to the Democratic plot hoping desperately that they can survive the purge if they are good little GOP people and do what they're told.
But partly Democrats are terrified that Trump made rise again the way Thanos or even Loki always did, and they are doing everything possible to make sure that the Earth is salted so that nothing can grow in that field again.
This is no longer about social justice or any of those other fancy phrases we use to justify our lust for power it is about power itself and who controls it.
