What many Americans want and it is not good [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-09-25 I may be diagreed with a lot on this opinion but I do believe it. I am sick that in the year 2023 that we have such a sick thinking America. I have pondered as I am sure many of you have, “What is wrong with these people”? I have even thought, “ What is wrong with me and that content factor”? I don’t mean in relationships but the anxious, unsettling, feeling we used to get time to time but now stays with most of us all the time. We know looking at the news can rile us up emotionally. We also know our family and friend relations are not what they used to be in the political realm.. or even in disucssion on many topics .There is so much discontent and arguing or just isolation. We have a lot of road rage, mass shootings, violence,suicides, addictions, rudeness and stuborn behaviors along with low patience and feelings of despair. Too many people are getting turned around to a feel good moment and then sit down waiting on another. It is like watching a car wreck. An earthquake, a hurricane, or asteroid heading for earth, people are all rushed up to see what happens next. So many people had rather or think they had rather have a dictator than a democracy is absolutely terrifying. We have so many people want entertaining 24/7 in their everyday lives even if it comes from their legislator, President, or solar system with falling asteroids. I feel too many Americans want an enemy and someone to hate on because their own lives are boring or they are just plain lazy and do not want to think for themselves, make sacrafices, or even appreciate what they have. They want the likes of Donald Trump to stand and lie to them , hate out loud for them and use them and make them more poor under the delusion of making their own inadequate feelings relevent. They do not want to help make the change we need. They are willing to just drift in life and it is what it is. They want to get excited about an adrenaline rush they feel from hate and propaganda and most do not realize they are being duped. Why is that? I feel those that feel that way want to turn to drugs or alcohol or dangerous people in churches to get a rush of excitement that brings them some feeling of adequacy and it is all BS. They don’t want to work hard or think for themselves or make hard decisions. They have become so complicit that hate that comes from the Proud Boys, other militias, They want a rush. They are willing to put up with the likes of Clarence Thomas, Santos, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and frolic in those nonsenses just for the pure entertainment. They don’t bother to vote and when they do, many, too many vote against their own interests. I have observed people who don’t pay attention crossing the street, take chances at stop signs, argue with anyone they disagree with and spout their nonsense in public places or worse, shoot or attack others. We have a quest on our hands right now. A big quest. It takes work and consistency of purpose and education to beat back fascism and some few people have to micromanage almost everything from healthcare to Beauracries. Why? Why can’t some people work with some sense of pride because working is not all about money. Why can’t people interact on a rational level? This irrational behavior has got to stop. I know deserving people who need disability and can barely attain it until someone comes along and takes that beauracratic entity to task and not shut up. Have we become so lazy in our decisions and thinking that we fear the outcome of speaking up in firm but definate ways? Merrick Garland I feel is a good man but he should have pushed back harder with his own decisions and self worth against the likes of Jim Jordan. People like Matt Gaetz gets a lot of publicity as does Jordan, Green, Bobert, and Cruz has almost become irrelevent in his antics since the luney bin has taken over and look how these inpolite people push hard on good people like Cassidy Hutchinson. Look how folks like AOC is demonized. Look how Black Lives Matter was treated . These are people standing for right regarding inequality. So many of the people fade away because they feel beaten down. Why is right democratic thinking and actions being pushed down so hard and we are observing them everyday with new disgraces. People just sit back and afraid to confront these people. Sometimes nice or civil just doesn’t work with these people. I mentioned civility but saying just shut up, you are talking like an idiot works, too. I have heard folks say we don’t want to go down to their level. Really? They have drug us down to their level and we will have to fight like crazy to reach our own common sense level. It is a quest. Are people afraid of a civil war? That is happening right now without the shooting. The media is publicizing bad behavior and making America look like a banana republic while good people do nothing. If people don’t wake up soon and start taking these people to task and calling them out, we will soon have a nation that is run totally by autocrats. We don’t get the thrill from President Biden so we don’t call out his good works. People dwell on his age, well Trump is only two years younger. We need to speak up and find our own way out of boredom and know we don’t get an adrenaline rush every single day. People I feel need to get out of their comfort zones of basically a zone of discontent and stand up for what millions have died for…...Democracy……! People are living in a world of pollution, climate change, hatred, and gaslighting and the people who can recognize these things are watching the reporting but not doing a lot about it. Some are speaking up and out but too few. We need to find our resouces and stop this nonsense before it gets much worse. Don’t be fooled. It can get worse. People on this site are aware. The rest of the country seem to just fuss and then turn on the tube or puter and get their adrenaline rush. WE and WE alone….We the people have to take this country in a different direction. We need leaders to take this country in a push back state before it is too late. See something wrong...Call it out. Don’t just take this crap anymore. Don’t wait on the other guy or gal to pull up their bootstraps and make things better. It appears that some need folks to get their adrenaline rushing and in a positive manner. The fear is real but the end results will be worse than any fear imagined. I do not care what people think of me. I really don’t. I know right and I know wrong and there is waaaaaaay too much wrong happening here is the Red White and Blue. Be your own advocate and umpire. Call it like you see it and others will start doing the same. Here is a song for you that inspires me daily.
