A pattern

Kadizzle has been an observer of social media for a long time. A consistent pattern Kadizzle has observed are the remarks of the dingers, the Hoopleheads, and the other people challenged with the written word.  

Somehow this blog has attracted one of those frustrated commentors incapable of putting together a coherent remark. Like a frustrated child that has not mastered language the poor fellow fires out emotions, not thoughts. 

There is something educational about an illiterate Hoople. The simple slogan is like fruit to them. Observing the participants at a Trump rally is educational. You get to see the NASCAR brain, a brain that can be entertained by watching cars go in a circle. This is the same brain that loves guns, big goofy trucks, and fake wrestling. You are observing a brain that did not ripen correctly. As we grow older hopefully we get smarter, but if you are still amused by a silly truck with big wheels and your drivers license says you are over 25, you have a big problem. You see the same thing when you watch an adult obsessed with fire crackers,  and hand guns. How many times can you shoot a bottle before it grows old?

John Prine has a verse in one of his songs about someone living in their head. There is a real world out there. That world is governed by physics, science, math, and a set of principles that were not listed in the Bible. When you cannot live in the real world, you move into a fantasy world. It might be the fantasy Trump created, it might be the fantasy the Pope promotes, but in the fantasy world you do not have to obey the laws of reality. There are clubs where fantasy people gather. The Tea Party gathers in a fantasy club inside a fantasy club. The Tea Party meets at a church. For better or worse a church is a fantasy club. Each one of us is going to die someday. No one seems to look forward to their death, but such is life. If you cannot face that reality, join a fantasy club. 

Another fantasy is you can get rich by giving rich people money. It simply does not work, if you like that fantasy, join the Republican Party.  Now if you really want a fantasy, give a TV evangelist money. You get two fantasies for the price of one. You are making a rich man richer, plus you get eternal life.
