Well I’ll be Darned: I’m Turning into a Conspiracy Theorist

I recently wrote a piece in which I suggested that Trump was actually not the real problem; I proffered that he was a puppet of deep Red pockets. And, those pockets don’t care how outrageous he is or sounds; they are driving the car/bus and Trump, unaware, is being driven. Yes, he thinks he’s the driver as he dances on stage to his playlist.

I just read a piece in The Week that suggested that Melania Trump turned pro-choice for political purposes in her recently released memoir: it was all designed to soften the hard line of her husband. Gee, am I naive! I actually thought she might be protesting the views of her partner, something the article does suggest is one plausible theory. The article characterized her memoir’s view and timing as “convenient.”

Here’s my point: I’m no youngster. But, I haven’t been willing, til now, to see the way dark side of issues. I believe in and trust people. Well, I did. Now I am rethinking the political strategizing and the depth of the effort to overturn our Democracy. Indeed, the far Right have been working at this for at least two decades. Maybe I didn’t want to see this now increasingly successful push hard to the right.

Bottom line: I now see better how to view conduct and behavior that I previously categorized as misguided or unhinged or obnoxious or offensive. Nope: it is intentional efforts at the deep sea level to move our nation from it current location and take it out to the sea of right wing, deeply held, beliefs and axioms.

Sadly, I was less scared when I just saw the surface as truth. The deeper well endowed Right is moving on into Pennsylvania Avenue and Congress. They are already on/in the Supreme Court. No checks and balances here.

Where have I been, to be so trusting? I’ve been tilting left in the wind. In short as the song goes, I’ve been blowing in the 60’s wind.
