One-Trick Pony and the Party of Fixations


Donald’s trick or shtick is his own unrelenting egotism and aggression. That fits with the hollow shell of Republicanism he inhabits. Deregulate and reduce taxes on the rich--Republicans insist these are the cures for everything, whatever the reality. 

Fixations reflect compulsion, aggression and fear. Rational policy and adaptation are out. There is no long term. They are survivalists fighting an imaginary emergency. Fear sucks the life out of everything. Get stoked on fear and stock up at Fox, the fear channel. 

See policies arise on-air before adoption. Fox feeds ideas to Trump, their brainless drone-of-doom and surrogate. We witness the snowballing of fear, tracked by the degree of lunacy and desperation. Fear the fear. Didn't someone say something like that once? 

We should have listened.
