When I was a kid, I was excited the first year I could vote, and I was happy to cast that first presidential ballot. I even vote in the local elections, knowing we have one of the best, and oldest forms of government. Greek democracy was formed from ancient tribes of the island voting with black and white stones on whether or not to go to war. The first republic of Rome was forged on the idea that people should have an ample decision in the political process. It was amazing, at times it actually functioned as advertised,mand others, it was gruesomely corrupt. Other forms of government are as such: communism and fascism have their own issues. No form of government is ever perfect, but it seems when the people are given more freedom, overall success and happiness prevails.
I love my country, not because of some misplaced semantics, but I'm not obsessed with her, I know she can always be better, and I as a citizen can also be better. However, I am also an ample critic of all sides of the aisle, love or hate the people involved. When I was younger, I wanted to see Doug Stanhope run for president, or at least a state-level election, so his personal views could resonate on a state, or even federal senate floor. I feel his views, which are quite similar to mine, are less endowed tha. The far right, and the far right cronies. It seems today people want government to be even more invasive in their lives, some from birth,until they shut the casket.
I find it ironic, especially as an outsider, that we want the government to have. One power, a far more socialist democracy, but we also have a huge mistrust of the cronies in power, and a absolute disdain for the power players on Capital Hill. Not to teeter off the discussion at hand, but it's equivalent to allowing criminals to control your assets, and you thank them for it, but in secret give a nasty review of their progress. If you trust the voting,mand the popularity contest of a joke our great are public has been made, you'd swear that people live in a misguided belief that they are being ruled over by authoritarians, and love it,mbut the. Turn around and birch at the very circumstances CES they've voted for.....it's absurd!
Granted, I was younger when. I wanted Me. are nope to rj , but I felt ran reward arion with him, not because he I soured me, his personal life leaves little room for inspiration, and more a cry for help, but being a free-willed Libertarian, seeing someone that embraced a very liberal, almost satanic lifestyle, to the point of doing harm was both astounding, and at times, childish, and pompous. Yet, what he said made sense, both in comedy, and in life. Honestly if he wasn't on a free all towards a terrible, terrible comedian' send, I'd ave sworn he was a statesman from the thirties bitching about freedoms that such fascists entires like the Temperance Movement, and the War on Drugs of the early seventies did on personal choice. We keep asking ourselves why the younger gerneration is so childish,mand lives home until they're fifty, but it's because they're not given personal choice. When you're lead to believe that government will make most of the personal decisions for you, and give you mandatory minimum sentences if you dare try and choose for yourself, then what else is there? Adults are barely allowed to be adults, because overbearing parents from the seventies and eighties have raised children that are now toddlers with iPhones and flared moustache a.
That being said, knowing that I'm one of many generational outliers, those who aren't swiping right for Hillary, or feeling the abern, and I'm not sure making A Erica great again Trump's way is anything but a disaster: what other choice do I have? Seems I'm in a small minority, one that is perhaps smaller than the LBGTQ vote, but still large enough to not even dare compare it to the Native American populous. To paraphrase Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey: "I'm neither Liberal, nor Conservative, nor Republican, or Democrat, but I'll damn well complain lime they do."
This post is not a complaint about the candidates for president, because we all know seaport what theae blowhards say, the Senate are going to ultimately decide what happens I the next few years. As it always is,mand it depends on that majority. The irony is government rarely ever works cohesively, yet somehow all the tax dollars the majority of Americans pay still go towards programs that have not been updated since the Polk administration.
Most Americans see both sides as arch nemesises, two groundbreaking superpowers that go to battle on the halloed floors of the Senate, and the House, yet they have become so intertwined, that by all definition, the frog runner for the Republican Party has more liberally fascist and nationalist views that coincide with Hitler, and the eventual headliner of the Deomcrat Party is Hillary Clinton, a gonzo politician that might as well be tied to the mob. She uses some of the dirtiest tactics out there, and her husband is a cruel son-of-a-bitch. Her policies are almost as far-fetched and removed from any plain of reality I've seen, that she's almost a caricature. Trump is just as much a buffoon, and the most logical of them all is a century old soclialiat that would be considered too extreme if he were running in the U.S.S.R.!
Our country is in peril, it almost makes me wish that Kanye West could run now just to save us the insanity that we are not prepared for: I mean,mat least if Kanye won the White House, it would be as though Christ himself had ascended to the throne....or so Kanye would make you believe. Joking or not, I find that this will be a pinnacle decision that America truly loses out on, the people are fucked, and I've said it before,mew as a nation are acrewed. No amount of sanctions on the banks, nor any sized wall on the border is going to fix the ailments of this country. Trump is as dangerous as any of the fools running, and if you think that's too coy, really look into all three front runners. Even Bernie,Moho is probably the most honest of any of them has an equally shady background as the rest. I cannot respect Bernie on the merits of political philosophy because we are so far out-of-touch, there's simply no middle ground. Although I respect him more for his forward thinking, not tying it up on political jargon, I could say the same about Donald Trump, who I feel is so out-of-touch with most Americans, and he and I are on such huge divides,Mira like looking at an imbecilic man child, but I respect his politically incorrect, love-me-or-hate-me approach that appears to be doing him well. I cannot believe that the man who wrote The Art of the Deal, which is one of the most engrossing philosophical journeys in the world of business, could be acting as he has when running for the presidency of the United States. The man isn't stupid, neither is Sanders, and Clinton,malthough emphatically misconstrued as some shrew that is lost on pop culture, is not stupid.
Three fairly intelligent Pepe are running for office, but in-regards on how they are doing so, troubles me. In many ways, a candidate made of the three would-be candidates currently, would even be a halfway decent choice over the latter three. This is the first time in my short life as a voter, that it felt I did not have a legitmate choice in the two major parties for president. I will say this, and why Donald Trump is good for this country: there is a push for a third party nominee, spearheaded by Mitt Rome y, who really doesn't have anyone's best interests in mind, but perhaps with a Hillary/Trump run for the White House, there will be a spark in third party candidates. Granted, a third party is still the same issues, just a different situation. Yet, I joined a party that declares itself the party of those who do not want to join a party. The majority of Americans are now registered as independent, meaning few of their votes are casted in primaries. Yet now there is this urge for a third-party solution. Look how extreme the country has come: there is a push for a stubborn socialist, a quack businessman, and one of the biggest criminal syndicates in the Clinton Family demagogues. Yet a third-party candidate winning a presidential election is crazy?
I am not publicly supporting any candidate this election year, but I'll say this: the quicker it's over, the better. I'll simply say this: expect a third-party run, and votes split on all sides, it's going to get very, very vicious. Pray however you wish that the Republic will survive. I know one thing is for certain: it's going to take a really hard blow, and there ain't no blocking that sucker punch.
Thank you for reading the Malacast Editorial. I'll be back next week with more posts, I've been working on quite a few these past few days. I have several short stories in the works, and the big three hundreth post is near completion. I've put quite a bit of thought in the several posts I'm working on currently, and I can't wait for those major announcments. The E3 Preview post is scheduled to go up June 10th, and the the full review posts begin getting published on the 17th of June, and most likely on that Monday, the 20th.
My attempt to do blogs for the Mondays Blog RTs has proven to be difficult. I was doing it quite a lot, but other posts have come up, so I may not be doing posts on Mondays as easily as I expected to, and seeing the graphic nature of some of my posts, they don't really fit that format. Still, I would like to say thank you all again for reading the blog.
