The Remeadigus

Back in Hazen Kadizzle has been on the Remeadigus.  That is the trip taken through Hazen a couple times a week to shoot the shit with the locals.  The route is almost always the same.  A stop a Shiny's if her shop is open, then over to Rita's,  the library, and maybe city hall,  once in awhile down to see Berg, and then maybe a stop at Archie's garage.  Dave's garage is off the route since he went on to Jesus last year.  Surely Dave is up there working on a car telling Jesus dirty jokes.

As you listen to the people on the route you get a feel for the mood of the local atmosphere.  Not much goes on here, but one thing is clear the disease of stupidity brought on by Trump has seriously taken it's toll on our hamlet.  Talking to some of the local dingers is like hearing a book report on Trump, Rush Limbaugh, or one of the North Dakota right wing prophets.  The poor people are caught in the past.  Every Trump sin can be justified by citing something Hillary supposedly did, or Obama, or Clinton.  If Trump slapped Ivanka,  your typical dinger would say it was okay because Clinton had sex with Monica.

Not one dinger denies any sin of Trump, but says it is acceptable because this is normal behavior for presidents. The mind of a dinger is like the mind of someone in the seventh grade.  Some kid smarts off to the teacher.  The seventh grader is amused and likes the idiot who disrupts the class.  The dingers always think " Wouldn't it be nice to give the finger to the banker when he refuses you for a loan?",  " Wouldn't it be nice to say something nasty to the policeman when he gives you a ticket?".  So when the dinger sees a president act like a seventh grader it gives them a thrill.  These are the people who watch fake wrestling on television.  Remember Trump's appearances with fake wrestlers? The dinger imagines himself as a wrestler slamming the bad guy.  The dingers love it when the fake wrestlers put the microphone in their mouth and taunt each other.  Trump knows the dinger mentality and play to it perfectly.  Dingers think educated people are a problem.  In their mind the dingers know they are the victims of intelligent people so anyone who attacks thinkers is a hero to the dingers.  No one attacks thinking like Trump.  Trump has put the most ignorant destructive people in his cabinet, and the dingers love it.  The dingers know they are an oppressed people, and they want someone to stand up to their oppressor.  Strangely Trump plays this perfectly.  The dingers are oppressed by Republicans who want nothing but tax breaks for the rich.  Trump delivers for the rich by giving the dingers the circus they want while Trump helps the rich pick their pockets.  Trump will go down in history as the ultimate con man.
