Success in America is not the Same

If one chooses to measure success via the American filter, no longer would it be accurate.  Almost half of the United States Senate has proven themselves traitors, hypocrites, and criminals.  "The enemy is within," as Speaker Nancy Pelosi candidly remarked.  I have been predicting this for several years.  President Trump's lies were so brazen and surprising, it was difficult to believe they were lies.  After the November election, the guerilla siege on the Capital, and the inauguration of President Biden the facts are unavoidable.  America must learn to believe we have traveled in retrograde motion, and only has it been possible with a specific conscious effort.  The millennial generation has been duped, fleeced, or taken advantage of.  I have been writing about this for several years.  PC or Political Correctness has created an army of dangerous, possibly violent, tribal members who can't think for themselves.  The idea of questioning authority and realizing your surrounding community often can be your enemy is innocuous.  It is tepid.  It is not possible.  "Them are fighting words.  Instead let's fight," because we are not smart enough to do anything else.  "Let's follow President Trump!"  Trump's disciples have been duped out of millions of dollars which flow directly into the Trump family coffers.  With a looming four hundred million dollar note coming due to the Russians, they must live on something.  The idea of Lara Trump aspiring to win Richard Burr's vacated senate seat in the state of North Carolina is absurd.  First and foremost residency applies to all Americans, and it is simple.  To sell a home and not pay capital gains tax, you must live in it for three years.  To not pay out-of-state tuition, one must earn a living by working in a state for one year.  To be a senator for a particular state, unlike Hillary Clinton who also broke this rule, a vested interest as an inhabitant is necessary.  Commandeering a senate seat as a power grab for an aspiring dictator is not cool, and the thought of member of the Trump Clan representing North Carolina is infuriating.  It it not going to happen.  It will not be long before Eric and Lara purchase a home in North Carolina and fill it with a stooge family.  Let's be on the lookout.  To establish residency one must earn the bulk of their income within the state.  Surrogate occupancy is not allowed.  If they do decide to make North Carolina their shell corporation headquarters, their welcome will be similar to the sentiment about Louis Dejoy.  It only is a fringe red state, and that is because of Fort Bragg.  The military has wised up, and their top leadership has shown Trump's lies are not appropriate.  Only Flynn has become a black sheep, but Mattis and Kelly upchucked and discarded the Trump rhetoric.  The filter or lens of America has become smudged by the lowest common denominator of filth.  If we were millennials it would be too difficult to believe our own country wants to kills us.  Learn a lesson from world history.  They do.
