Trump Train De-Railed
Even my neighbor took down his flags,finally, yesterday. Without his twitter account The Donald is losing audience share, folks returning to the Kardashians or Sponge Bob. It occurs to me that Stop the Steal is a meme the Left could steal and re-purpose now. "Stop Stealing Our Wages" Stop Stealing Our Resources, Stop Stealing Our Future. I remain interested in how folks dress (Tucker Carlson referred to the clothing of the woman who was shot, Michael Moore reflected on how the insurrectionists dressed like him)and was struck by the congressman from Georgia who spoke at the rally, dressed in camo hat and carharts ("one of us" apparel) whereas Trump dresses like the elite dandy he is- something the salt of the earth crowd seems impressed by. The camo congressman described the "weak" Senators as those who "drink brandy and smoke cigars", the ultimate symbolic reference to the Trump entourage. No one picked up on it because irony died long ago. The perfect segue into this statement by the head of the company building the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline:
“With added focus on improving the health and safety of our environment, our people and overall well-being of the communities we work in, we truly make a difference during the construction of each infrastructure project and beyond,” added Poteete.
One last note on the Insurrection (now the official term, along with sedition): It was fortuitous that antifa didn't show up to confront the "mob"(another official term)and divert them into a street fight. The lesson: give them plenty of rope- stay away- let them implode. This goes for the inauguration- unless you have well-dressed, trained, disciplined cadres with a plan, stay away.
