Ok, this diary is directed to the oligarchs that control the nation, the true power behind aberrations like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell. The message is that you won the war. Anything from here on out will only be counterproductive to your aims of wealth and power.
Over the decades you’ve eroded trust in government, freed yourself from regulations which cut into your profit and power. You’ve bought the entire media and they spread your disinformation effectively and can stave off or substantially reduce any threat to your stature. You’ve stolen the nation’s resources as we were all distracted by war, natural disasters brought on by your pollution and rape of the forests, unchecked disease and political dysfunction on a scale we haven’t seen since the Nazi days. You’ve destroyed environmental and pollution safeguards, annihilated worker rights and benefits, and stolen our nation’s resources so that all the pots are pretty much empty. The only things you have left really are Social Security and Medicare and they are both weakened.
My appeal is that you’ve reached the point of diminishing returns and there’s an enormous amount of historical data to back up my assertion. What more is it you want? To make us all brain dead worker drones subsisting on crumbs? Lots have speculated that is exactly your goal but to what end? How will that better your lives? If you destroy the middle class of this country you destroy the very customers you need to keep the money flowing to your vaults. And what good is that money if all the places you could visit would be dens of starvation and misery with diseases unchecked?
History shows that humans can indeed be treated as willing farm animals but only to a breaking point and when that hits, it hits with a fury that is unstoppable by wealth or private armies. The human race will always balance out power imbalances and, even though the suppressed suffer the most losses during those events, when they do get the upper hand (and they always will), they will have no mercy on the leaders of the subjugation. One only has to look at the demise of Mussolini to see how this ends. And looking at the lives of the historically powerful shows incredible depression and dysfunction. The “golden life” simply amplifies life’s emotions both good and bad. That bad part is particularly grueling.
So here’s a suggestion. Declare victory and go off and enjoy your ill gotten gains now and call off this Donald Trump charade. Show him and his closest cronies the door. Ship him off to Russia or Saudi Arabia or do with him as you do to the con men you use when they’re used up. Stop this election madness and have your bought and paid for media end this. Let us get back to at least somewhat restoring the country so you have something of value for future robbing and pillaging.
