the hovercraft swooped low over the wall of the stadium and decended into the bowels of the structure..
they landed on a helipad on a crowded football field ,
computer>>:::::" for safety you are required to put on your masks..now."......which they did....
The door wooshed opened and gnat and Tom climbed out...then the hover taxi took off..silently, boom,, it was gone. .they stepped onto fake grass, populated by maskless men and women who were all wearing bright red hats with the words "Make America Hate Again" or "MAHA" embroidered on them .....at ground level, on the far side of the stadium there was a gigantic video screen dominated by an image of Trump's .head with no mask on......there was a speaker system with very simple messages emmanating out of it and because it is Babel Land, every word had to ring true.
Trump>>: "lies lies and more lies""gross exageration" "conspiracy theory" "demeaning women". "racism"."dictators are bad "."free up Hillairy" " born in the USA"."US media is objective --- real news". "Climate Change is real"."covid is real and I take none of the blame for it's mismanagment......"there was not a witch hunt". by the way, we wont use " born in the USA any more . what's the point,,,who cares,,,never did care , anyway... anyone opposing me is brave and i deserve to lose this election,. me, me,me ,me, me .......money, money, money,my money......your money.......just for fun,,,vote twice......anything to screw up the election.....and while we're at it, dont wear a mask and try and catch the covid19...it sews chaos and chaos is what we thrive on....i dont care how many people die ....there just a bunch of losers anyway....and dont allow any legisltation on the border , , ,make sure it stays broke so we can stick it to the democrats . . .
the mob stirred and started chanting. "catch the virus...catch the virus...catch the virus ...that slowed down and ramped up again..."we are stupid , we are stupid' and a little later, "we are gullible , we are gullible"' and then a little quieter..."we are hate we are hate"
off on the right side was a group wearing large crucifixes around their necks...they were yelling out slogans..... "abortion is real ......abortion is a political football .....trump claims to be Christian so he must be one.we'll give him the benefit of the doubt,,.......no matter the scope of his past and present sins..no matter his constant chronic ongoing lying..a pathalogical liar
.also there were a few people way off on the far right who were also sloganeering but few words.and not very loudly.......like "white is not cool" and "WHITE POWER is bad". .among these people there were some who covered their faces out of shame..some were drooling,, , ,some were children dressed in camalodge with guns..
a man approached Tom and gnat ..he had on a black face mask and a blue baseball hat....
Don:>>" hi there I'm Don and I'm here to welcome you to POLitical Stadium, I have great presents for you two. As you can see, most people on the field are wearing a bright red cap which means that they support trump emotionally and logically..You can be very logical but oooooh so wrong,,,,,,and they are enjoying and getting an emotional rush out of the political controversy.and a feeling of power, so , Tom,,, here is a blue cap which means you dont support Trump, are progressive, that you're truthful and logical and that you support the Democrats (blue)(left wing) and ,for you gnat , , here's a green cap which means you support Democrats who are progressive , love Nature (green)(further left wing) ....the blue hat has the phrase "make America green again " written on it, and the green hat has "getbacktogreem" written on it. If you wear a blue hat it means you VOTE Democratic.... and if you wear a green cap means you love nature and will VOTE Democratic up and down the ticket. Our SACRED DEMOCRACY can ill afford having a dangerous demagoge like Trump in command of the Republican party government another four years,,. The Republicans have enabled Trump and have soiled themselves in the process. They deserved having their asses kicked in the 2024 election and their power stripped away from them by the Democrats winning the House of Representitives. And hopefully in 2024 the democrats will hold the senate and keep the white house too. a blue tsunami...thats what its gonna take.....to set this ship back on course and away from the dangerous shoals where we're headed straight for.....we'll get only one chance.......2024
Don>> The repuglicans Trillion dollar tax cut for the richest 1% in 2017, . Their 100% complicity with the NRA..... and the Kavanaugh selection made to pack the Supreme Court with strict ideological right wing judges,,,, Trumps rejection of science. . The worst was his unscientific attack on the climate crisis..,,, where only the feds deny the facts of the climate crisis in defiance of the overwhelming consensus of the whole planet and scientific opinion. the shameful way trump treats immigrants and the grim reaper Senate obstructions of Moscow Mitch....holding up all SCOTUS appoinments until TRump was seated. . . .the Senate..the impeachment fiaso where the senate didnt call a single witness or one shred of evidence and the whole covid fiasco which trump totally mishandled..and disowned ..,,..so much wrong and so little space....I'll stop for now...
they took the hats and put them on... gnat's green hat was comfortable and he felt a sense of pride in wearing it..identifying with it....with the democrats,, the greens, with nature ,being progressive...being honest in the face of such extreme right wing hypocrisys , an embrace of conspiracy theories and an assumpion that whatever the RW says is true and what the LW says is false...RWers get the benefit of the doubt...many are christians who believe Trump when he says that he's born again .they totally ignore the continual lies that spout from his mouth.... Trump being the king of all liars....
at this the ground level of the stadium, it was a sea of maskless faces and red hats... all randomly walking about...they were preocupied with their smartphones.. looking at tweets and fox news..some listened to right wing hate radio like alex jones and rush limbaugh and when gnat looked into their eyes, he noticed that many people favored the right one, meaning they were left-brained and therefore mechanical/ logical/robotic with little in the way of right brain aactivity which includes artistic freedom and inspiration and he said so..it was one of his pet theories.....using only half your brain leads to lesser true judgement of reality
Tom>>:: dont you think thats a little over the top? that the majority of all these dumbass' under-educated right wingers are exclusively left brained....
don>>::"you could perhaps argue that they were using only half their brains,, but also interesting from a psychological view is that they all may suffer from the Dunning Kruger effect contributing to a Trump personality cult.. these trump supporters are easily hoodwinked. People with little expertise or ability are led to assume they have superior expertise and ability..an overestimation of their abilities..the ability to understand and know the truth. they dont have enough knowledge to know they dont have enough knowledge.. Fox News (which isnt a news channel at all, but it is entertainment and spewing RW propaganda) is continually feeding their audience lies and half-truths and gossip aimed at demonizing the left wing, and building right wing loyalty. Watching fox news is a sexy voluntary self brainwashing. These people tend to be less educated and less knowlegable..the Favorite Demographic of the Trump machine. ..being uninformed leads to overconfidence..the right wing media is dumbing it down. feeding the masses little self-contained facts that thru repetition become bricks. they bend the news to reinforce the validity of the bricks and now these people are building small pyramids with an eye on top. the pyramid is formed from bricks made of factoids which may or may not be true and may then be forgotten although the brick remains... and the eye gives them the courage to ,in unison, yell out self-confirming slogans like "lock . her up" etc. something they yell even now when its no longer even appropriate. or meaningful. a feeling of unity and power...exploring a new conspiracy is exciting they are enthusiastic
They are for the most RWers ,,,, they may have an excellant memory......and the exercize of that memory is exciting to them,,,self affirming,,, but its garbage in , garbage out....strictly...
once they are in a crowd, they reaffirm messages together,,which is positive reinforcement..the're right because everyone yells the same things over and over..
Then, someone noticed the green and blue hats..
crowd>>: "why lookee here, we got us some damn liberals... lock em up,,,lock em up ,, lock... "
don>>:: "had enough of the lowest of the low, trump's base ? ok then , let's get out of here,,,,follow me.."
they made it through the threatening crowd, across the field and went up some stairs to the first level bleachers . Before entering the stands, they were given an 100% accurate instantaneois covid 19 test . all three tested negative ,,,,the people in these stands were more educated and knowledegable ,,, discerning... On on the left side, the democratic side , the seats were filled with democrats wearing bright green caps and bright blue caps and on their republican side,with only a third of the seats were filled,,,were the republicans wearing red MAHA hats ..they were all watching a huge tv monitor .. on the right wing side of the screen, all you could see was fox news.. unfair and imbalanced?? how about faux and right wing bludgeon you with an emotional lead hose pipe..also there were rabid RW talk radio shows and expensive, repetitive commercials. all from the same right wing CABAL ...its messages were simple ..conservative, the rich deserve to pay their fair share,,,, poor people should be paid well for a job,,,enough to survive,and, war is bad , money is all that matters to some, our opponents are strong and liberal, guns are dangerous, socialism for the rich., socialized medicine is good... Immigrants are needy , God is good, and he's not white, gays, abortion, Trump. noone yelled out slogans..
There were also shows about real estate and stocks and bonds.. mortagages, tuition, marriage, stability, jobs
then gnat noticed that there were some men on the right wearing golden hats with MMR embroidered on them ,, ,,"make me rich" They were scattered amongst the red hats...They could see thru TRUMPS lies but they couldn't care less,, shouting ""Everyone for himself" ,,,,"I am not my brothers keeper" .....and "trickle down is a lie "
..on the left side, the tv screen had talk shows like Steven Colbert and Conon Obrian making jokes about Trump to an enthusiastic and sympathetic audience. ..and sometimes CNN was on the screen, and sometimes MSNBC sometimes PBS...
an aside,,, one item from history... in 1980, a rich conservative thought that CBS was far too liberal... so he put out a call to all his rich conservative buddies that they could for 2Billion dollars simply buy the station...which they did..problem solved....media and ownership of the media...by the conservatives.. thank god there are still some liberal media outlets,, uncorrupted by money,, serving a left wing audience...serving the truth
.they took the stairs up to the second level, Once again there was an instantanious covid19 test before entering to which they tested negative,,,,,one eighth of the seats were filled with people, left wing liberals. they went to the top of the aisle, turned and faced the screen...every one wore bright blue caps.the people were chanting , different phrases overtime but now they were yelling randomly,,,"Trump lies" "T is a con man" :"T is a racist""T is a fascist and an insurrectionist",..while some people just mumbled disapprovel , occasionally someone would shout out, "dump trump" or "treason".... ...the big screen showed all the left wing news channels.. especially CNN and MSNBC.....and they were some extent balanced...on their smartphones they viewed the Daily Kos .. and made many comments. on this level people were reading books and newspapers and magazines,, and talking amongst themselves...
they climbed into the third level bleachers..it was quite high. a little darker,, there were fewer people here and all wore green hats... and here they could see the jumbo screen with pictures of animals in nature. the nuclear cloud spreading from Fukushima, the red tide in florida, the deepwater horizon in the gulf, they had newspapers and books and magazines.and the internet .they read the "Guardian" .they were talking together, many mingling.. talking.. discussing the issues....at some points the greens hats would hold up signs. the message was varied, "dont create instant orphans", "some call it treason",, "climate crisis",, "save the Earth" ,,"PEACE" etc. they also had the web....the greens followed the Daily Kos .. and made many comments.In a pinch given the choice between red and blue they would choose blue,,,,between left and right, they would choose left. . . .knowing that choosing green would be throwing the vote away .. ..better the left/blue than the corrupt right/red. . .
at the highest point at the back of the bleachers were three large enclosed booths. They were dark with glowing windows..you could see people looking out, some with binoculars... and on top of the booths were red or blue flags whipping in the wind. they went to the closest booth. it was painted red. On the door was written:
GOP GOVERNMENT FOR SALE
they opened the door and went inside.....
a lady gave them an instant covid check........the results were negative and so were allowed to pass,,
the air was hazey from all the men smoking cigars. Some were holding snifters of brandy. and they all were wearing red caps..russians were seated near the front.. where there was a huge screen which displayed issues like the aluminum and steel industries, agriculture, tariffs, banking, the MIC, automotive, Right now, the screen was showing a diagram for the funding of the NRA,,,,,
(DIAGRAM)
Don>>:: "these are the lobbyists and direct donators.in action..they donate money to whatever issue they want to influence, and let me tell you it is one heck of a profitable endeavor."
don:: "come along with me and lets go down the rabbit hole..."and with that, don led them down to the front of the room in front of the screen to a door on the right side of the screen..the door had these words,
GOP Family Only
WE FIGHT DIRTY
don pushed some buttons on the lock and opened the door. they entered the darkness. "turn on your cellphone lights" which they did to reveal a short dark tunnel leading to an unlocked door. on the door it said,
I love to rile people up
and take their money -- Trump
I love houseing Bubbles....I can buy housing on the cheap --Trump
they turned their lights off and went thru the door to see another room like the one they just left..there were fewer men here, all wearing red caps. They weren't imbibing anything except bottled water....on the front wall the screen had this .
abortion... racism.... LGBT ...womens lib....., immigration-....riots ,,,, socialism......
don>>::"basically this room is about things that can elicit an emotional response .....these are hot buttons for the populus. they divide us as a country,, But the repulicans dont give a fig,.. they literally dont care, so long as battle lines are drawn,,so long as the republican base is mobilized to attack the left,, even the russian are in on the game,, they dont care at all for these issues, they are just cynically manipulating everyone they can"
They went to the front wall and over to the door and don unlocked it...they came to another door with this written on it:
GOP ---FOLLOW THE MONEY
R's are in it for power not governance
there were fewer men here, and they weren't wearing the red caps, These were the bosses of the right wing and the uber wealthy.. they were laughing with joy, tears flowing down their cheeks,, raising their champagne glasses and clinking them. while this was on the big screen:
Tax cut for the wealthy - horrendous price tag
war spending
MIC - huge increase
anti medicare
anti ss
anti medicaid
complicity with the Russians to influence US election
gerrymandering and voter suppression
The head dude raised his cut glass crystal.
Mr Rian>>:" I've gotten everything I've ever dreamed of, so I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead.."
the whole crowd was cheering. Don, Tom, and gnat left through the door to the left of the screen. They had returned to the third level bleachers . they went over to the next booth. It was painted blue. On the door was written:
Democrats
Democracy is Sacred
EQUALITY for all
Governance of, by, and for the people
They went thru the doorand had to have an instantanious covid test..they passed and so entered an amphitheatre filled with equal parts men and women. all the races were there, as were non-breeders and tree huggers. some were wearing blue caps.some wearing green caps.
they faced a stage with a large screen.
medicare for all -
all the major nations do it
Social Security works - support it
equality---sexes
--races
--LGBTQ

-maximum savings limits --no loopholes

on Tuesday 8/21/18
a great moment in US history
----------could mean the survival of the republic
R doing nothing to stop T.
R is corrupt, complicit
-------a Soviet style propaganda machine
----------after the verdict, the R leadership sent
out a talking points
which the R's started repeating robotically
with new distractions for its entranced,
obedient audience
T doesn't careabout ---the common good
---national secuity
---any other basic value
----------undermining US from within ---- more than any
threat from outside ever could
----------do whatever is best fot himself
R's are as craven and venal as T
they left the booth and were back in the third stand
. they went to next booth. it was painted green. On the door was written:
everything WAS and IS sacred
After a Covid test they went thru the door to find a field filled with equal parts young women and men with bright green caps...there was a stream and some beautiful very large trees a holy place.some people were meditating others were reading spiritual books on zen - bhuddism - taoism - and other texts..some Moody Blues was playing on the speakers,,,,there were birds flying and singing at the feeder and a woman came up to them and offered them figs.....and said the word "peace."
they took the figs and ate them...they were fresh and green and a little stickey
woman>>did you know that the fig is actually an inside out flower??what was Gaia thinking . . .right....
Gnat>>how does it get pollinated??
girl>>there's one insect that bores into the fig and lays her eggs . ....in the flower
Gant>>wow...how can nature come up with something like that??????
woman>> Gaia came up with it just like all the rest of life..Gaia can read and manipulate DNA thats one of it s powers.. lets just pray that mankind never learns how to read DNA , ,,cause if they do they becomes as GODS , , ,and that will not end well..
Tom>> hopefully DNA is magical and can never be read....
man>> I'll pray for that . . . . and then there is AI artificial intelligence ..talk about disasters.. .. ..but this disaster is going to happen and when it does . . . .look out . . .the problem is the lies , , ,our world allows and accepts lies . with no penalty . . . . .. .there are some organisations that are 100% LIES, thats all they do . . .lying is evil . . . . . they will teach AI entities to lie . . .to the extent that they will pollute society . . . . . ..we will be lost in confusion...and thats very bad . . . .the internet will be swamped with lies . . .
womanl>>but first things first.....Trump......he needs to be defeated in 2024 . . . .. and soundly to avoid an electoral college over turning of the popular will. . . . . .he is the father of all lies . . . he doesn't read books for gods sake.. . ..hes a total extrovert...no inner life at all...not a spiritual bone in his body. he's stupid, ignorant, and a lazy thinker...if ever he's elected to the highest office in the land..its the end of the USA.....period.....he will destroy it. . . .
Gnat>> it reminds me of a book by Kurt Vonnegut ,, that fabulous artist,,A++ all the way through his catalogue. . . The book is..."Slaughterhouse Five" . . .about a young american soldier being captured and put in a WWII German prison camp . . . the prisoners are gathered in a room for a meeting and an American comes in front of them wearing a cowboy outfit with boots and spurs ,, ,there are swastikas on his boots, his arm and on his shirt...he is there to convert these prisoners into NAZIS .....in its day it was a funny scene .. .. .but its not funny today..how prescient was Vonnegut . as always........
Tom>>he also wrote about ICE-9 in the book "Cats Cradle", ICE-9, ,a chemical that when added to water will lower the freezing point of water to room temperature . . .an invention that when it was intruduced to a body of water froze the entire planet . . .ELE..
end of the world . . .a scientific breakthru that goes bad
