I can get more friends, but I cannot get another soul. That is what Kadizzle said long ago to a good friend who could not tolerate Kadizzle speaking out about the insane injustices of the Republican Party. It happened again yesterday. A fellow took great offense at a letter to the editor Kadizzle wrote about the flag. Essentially Kadizzle's letter said you cannot respect the flag and Donald Trump. Kadizzle knew the man had a bad right wing streak, but how bad was the revelation. No rational person should support Trump at this point. Trump has done more to destroy every principle of democracy than any man alive.
The cult mindset where a criminal becomes a god is something to behold. No truth, no information, no reality, will penetrate the brain of the cult member. Cults have existed for ever. At one time people stood on the roof our their home dressed in white sheets waiting to be drawn to heaven. Now the same people wear a red MAGA hat waiting to be drawn into a dictatorship of the rich.
The tide of stupidity is upon us. Yesterday Kadizzle visited two places where the bottom of humanity gathers, the casino, and the library. Wait did Kadizzle say the library. Yes, the library is a refuge for the poor, the rejected, and those without air conditioning. At the library there is hope. The children of the poor page through the books, and no doubt some knowledge infect them.
At the casino the delusional volunteer to go broke. With a cigarette dropping out of the mouth the Hooples ply their paycheck into the one armed bandits.
At the casino Kadizzle struck up a conversation with a fellow that must of already turned his paycheck to dust. Kadizzle asked the man what he did for a living. He had many jobs, and one of them was with a circus. In a side show he was part of an exhibition to draw in the rubes. On a bed of nails he laid on his back and a concrete cinder block was placed on his chest, another man broke the cinder block with a sledge hammer. Kadizzle asked the man if he was afraid the first time he performed the stunt. No, the man was pretty good with the sledge hammer. This guy seemed like someone easy pickins for the Trump crowd.
Back to the Trump crowd. Can you sell someone a six thousand dollar fire alarm? Yes, and you can sell them on the idea Trump is a saint. How do you do it? There are two key ingredients. Twist the facts, and use fear like a hammer. Trump and the lady selling the fire alarms both mastered the technique. The fire lady said your house is going to catch fire so fast you cannot get out because you have a fire alarm that only works 55% of the time. Trump says the government is out to get us all, and the FBI has been weaponized to get him. The fire lady gave us a small baseball bat to break the window and escape a fire. So far no fire, but the truth has gone out the window and Trump was the bat that broke the window.
The New York Times has two good articles today. One centers around the Battle of Blair mountain, read it. The history of the battle has been lost, but it is critical about how unions fought for a decent wage. Kadizzle is fond of the story because he spent the early years of his coal carrier in the area where this union history occurred. Another union related article is about Starbucks, another story of the rich abusing the poor. History has gone out of style. Kadizzle grew up in West Virginia, and the real history was never taught about the abuse of the rich and how they enslaved coal miners. To this day you will find the Republicans are up to their old tricks in West Virginia. One astounding fact, more people in West Virginia work for Walmart than for the coal companies. Greed impoverished West Virginia like no other state, and who do the Hillbillies love now, Donald Trump. Playing on the poor is a terrible sin, but it pays.
