“Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries and then flower in the most unpromising soil.” (Carl Sagan); “Nothing ever dies on the Internet.” (anon.); “This is not your father’s Oldsmobile.” (Madison Ave. [m]adman). My posts amalgamate these three philosophical elements into one novel experience; they champion critical thinking, human dignity / equality, levelheaded / even-handed / liberty-based governance and solid environmental stewardship. C’mon in!
All hands on deck! Regain the upper hand! Let’s wash our hands of the
heavy-handed, chronically ISO clapping hands, tiny handed psychopath,
whose odious ideology/deportment walk hand-in-hand with chaos; who
never extends a helping hand; whose ongoing, under-handed plot is to
handcuff the citizenry; strengthen his stranglehold on absolute power!
PREFACE: Covfefe, Donald J. Trump’s misspelling of “coverage”, was found within one of his vintage, viral tweets, which subsequently, morphed into an Internet meme; which I’ve now repurposed to brand name the wholesale, pandemic magnitude mental illness, which afflicts the raging fake prez and runs rampant throughout his fraudulent administration.
Trump’s Point:
“When somebody’s the President of the United States, the authority is total and that’s the way it’s gotta be.”
My Counterpoint:
That would be Total… as in Total BS… as in Totalitarianism. Trump’s autocratic and arrogant demeanor will prove just as sickening and deadly to the U.S. Constitution as Coronavirus is to the U.S. citizens.
Merriam Webster’s Counterpoint / Definition of Totalitarianism:
“1) centralized control by an autocratic authority. 2) the political concept that the citizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority.”
Trump’s Point:
“The federal government has absolute power.”
John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton’s Counterpoint:
“Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
