curious to see someone noticing the divide we're being led into:
With each passing day, Trump’s hardcore supporters and detractors
become more deeply entrenched in their respective corners and grow more
hysterical. With every turn of the news cycle, we see two groups
increasingly and equally convinced that only they and their allies can
save the nation from total ruin. As someone who isn’t a cheerleader for
any politician or political party, it’s fascinating to watch. It’s also
made me consider where to draw the line when it comes to political
action or commentary.
First off, we need to understand that an increasingly centralized,
corrupt and unaccountable government making decisions for 325 million
people will be inherently and systemically abusive toward the
citizenry. To confront this reality we need resistance, but it can’t be
the superficial, purely partisan kind.
Superficial resistance is what you see from establishment Democrats
and MSNBC, peddling the fairytale that Trump the person is the problem,
not the system itself. In contrast, genuine resistance is admitting and
confronting our root problems which are deeply engrained and systemic.
It means coming to terms with the fact we’re largely living in an
imperial, executive-driven government structure as opposed to a
Constitutional Republic. Congress doesn’t even bother to seriously weigh
in on war and military operations anymore, essentially outsourcing its
most awesome responsibility to whoever happens to be president. Trump
the man isn’t our huge problem; excessive, secret and unaccountable
government power is.
