Republicans and Self-Fulfilling Expectations

People end up creating the world they believe in. You have to hope that most are rooted enough in reality to help create a world that makes sense. Not so with Republicans, of course, whose denial of reality is only the beginning. Their substitute is so sick and cynical it encourages a world of brutality and exploitation.

There are MANY examples of this but seeing a terrified two-year-old crying in horror as her mother is frisked by ICE agents I couldn't blame anyone, identifying with or pitying the child or the mother, for hating America and everything it stands for. Similarly, George Bush reassured Muslims of their worst fears about America. 

But, behold. There are Muslims as greedy, fucked-up and cynical as the Bushes and their successors, the Trumpists, who are outdoing even the the Bush crowd in their viciousness and greed. The Saudis and some other Arabs are coming around to this apocalyptic way of doing business. Fuck everyone else. Fuck the future. 

Grab everything you can and try to screw any potential rivals or justice-seekers into a permanent state of impotence. It's the American way, man.
