From the mind of critic: “If things are really bad and getting progressively worse to the point that we not only expect the worse, but expect to be continually surpised by how much worse things can get, do we set the bar so low, that a knuckle dragging mouth breather who can string coherent sentences together is seen as a success, simply because he isn’t ranting and raving? Does a softer tone indicate a softening of attitude toward other cultures and ethinicities, even if the concepts that are displayed stay the same? Or is it the quintissential element of double speak, where some of can speak in humane tones, specifically so they can speak more inhumanely, because most people will listen to the tone and not the words? One concept that has been introduced lately, is we can’t take the President literally, that sometimes his words don’t represent how he actually feels. That sometimes he gets caught up in the heat of the moment, and appeals to people’s emotions, because he believes that’s what people need to hear. There are leaders in the past that have appealed to emotions. Leaders who warned about the incoming scourge of immigrants, who will take our jobs, our women, and our way of life. Leaders who even went so far as to endorse registries for those immigrants, where all crime information on them is kept, for people to add to whenever they feel the need to rat on their neighbor, or use it as an excuse because they don’t like their neighbor. These leaders were called dictators, stamping out dissent by calling all negative news fake, murdering, dissapearing and discrediting opponents, and building up nationalistic fervor by stating the reason for all our problems, are the dirty foreigners coming into our country. If things are so bad we think we need a strong man dictator to muscle forward the American experiment into the 21st century, maybe we’re simply being lazy and ignorant. In the coming days, weeks and years we can either fight back, or sit idly by. Do we want to forever celebrate mediocrity, or sustainable and longlasting positive change?” 🙂
