The Great Fantasy Generation

What is disheartening about politics is candidates won't acknowledge reality.  Their reality is different than mainstream America.  We, the people, are stuck in a time warp, and it is a bubble of Donald Trump's creation.  Mainstream America was tooling along, until celebrity and millionaire Donald Trump infiltrated the Presidency.  Now we are living in the wake vortices of his destructive campaign to hijack our nation.  I am sick of hearing it.  We are stunted as a nation with the media fixation on Donald Trump's continued attempted coup of America.  They are treating his dire criminal threat like a made-for-TV movie.  It doesn't qualify for the big screen, because it wouldn't pass the censors.  When did it become acceptable for the president to amend the Constitution, appoint criminals to office, and try to maintain power?  It is a potent television movie, although those no longer exist. The media has made him the continuing movie-of-the-week.  Late night hosts always have professed how much they need bad politicians.  It is the basis of their comedy. The media and politicians may know he is not capable of winning the Presidency a second time.  Either he will be convicted of a felony, or the states will take him off the ballot.  Meanwhile we the people are wallowing in his feces and are tired of the smell.  Tabloid television is over, because Fox News blurred the boundaries of fantasy and reality beyond salvage.  How much shit must we endure? Theye have degraded America, and the  it like a game show.  Consequently America no longer lives in reality.  We are living these fantasy scenarios created by entertainment conglomerates to sell soap.  It is possible we have lost the ability to recognize, acknowledge, and mitigate reality.  The reality is so dire, we can't understand how it happened.  How did it happen?  The beginning of our end was Bill Clinton.  One President chose our fate with one decision.  Without that decision our world would be a different and better place.  The telecommunication and defense industries would differ.  If we look back, we were a better country with wire.  Telephones were better with wire, because you could hear the person on the other end.  Music play back was better with wire, because it was analog and there was no drop out.  There would be no attack drones controlled by satellites.  There would be no autonomous cars killing innocent pedestrians.  Foremost weapons would be controlled by men, not software.  Imagine an Apache helicopter pilot navigating his craft from a virtual reality helmet.  This is a video game.  This isn't real.  A multi-million dollar attack aircraft, and it is controlled by a computer. software.  If the computer glitches or the software fails, the pilots die.  I would rather be in control with a primitive stick and pedals.  We have transitioned into virtual reality, and we have lost touch with our host planet.  We have become a rogue species raping and pillaging the land not unlike previous generations of settlers.  It is refreshing watching older movies, because they deal with reality.  Back then there was no virtual world, and it was better.  Reality was difficult, and it made appropriate subject matter.  It was dire enough on its own.  Crime in America.  Survival.  Courtship.  The fantasy world via comic book characters, Disney, and animation have deceived us and hindered out ability to understand real human interaction.  I have a friend who is a jazz saxophonist living in New Hampshire.  He was a substitute teacher until he was told by the principal that he had to accept students coming to school dressed as cats and trees.  The cats required using a litter box.  He quit.  I would have to.  How could anyone educate a youth when they are this far removed from reality?  Politicians don't have the gumption to see and confront reality, because we have become a superficial people.  The GOP has no agenda.  What should their agenda be?  It would be the same as the democrats.  Illegal immigration.  Drug trafficking.  Insurance reform.  Health care.  Jobs.  Education.  We are so dire in every area, how can anyone not know these issues?  The insurance industry has ruined the health care industry, and they no longer want to heal us.  They want to kill us and take our money.  Insurance takes more money than anyone.  They want our children to be ignorant.  They want us to be high and violent.  The essence and fabric of America has been inundated with violent extremism, and this has come from the outside.  We have lost track of any reality except what Big Tech is throwing our way.  The trouble is unless we wake up, grow up, and man up, we will die in an insipid puddle of cum dripping off our laptops.
