It’s 2026. Do You Know Where Your Country Is?
March 13, 2026
Today, we present the question right up
front, followed by the set-up. Hey, it’s a topsy-turvy world folks. Just trying
to fit in.
Today’s Question For The Day:
How did we get here?
A few
weeks ago, long before Demented Dipshit Don launched Operation Epic Failure in
Iran, my aunt, my mother’s younger sister, who was born in Belgium in 1938 and
landed at Ellis Island along with her parents in 1951 (one year after my mother
immigrated), often talks politics with me. We regularly commiserate about the
current state of despairs. During that recent chat she asked, “How did we get
here?”
In a
way, it’s a pretty straight line from Jump Street to Trump Street. Day One, we
murdered millions and millions of the land’s original inhabitants and took
their land. Then we dragged more millions from their homes across the ocean and
treated them worse than animals. Neither one of these crimes against humanity
has really ended to this day. And we have never, as a nation, attempted to make
amends or reparations or apologize.
It
has been said the Hitler’s concentration camps were modeled after America’s
Indian reservation system. American returned the compliment by creating
Japanese internment camps, and now, the Fascist/Trump/Epstein regime is trying
to build concentration camps for mostly innocent immigrants.
Yet
people keep saying, “This is not who we are.” They insist Donald Trump and his
fascist fuckwits are not who we are. Well guess what, despite all the sick,
criminal, seditious, insane, dementia-addled shit Trump has perpetrated upon
this nation and the world, there are still more than one third of Americans, along
with 52 senators and 218 House members, and very consistently six Supreme Court
justices, who continue to all-but-literally (as far as we know) kiss his ass.
How and when can we be somewhere else?
This has been your Paying Attention™ Question For The Day.
