I’ve been read­ing a lot of ar­ti­cles com­par­ing Trump to Hitler, not un­like I saw much of go­ing on with the Bush ad­min­is­tra­tion. There was also some talk to a less­er ex­tent about Oba­ma – be­cause each of these Pres­i­dents has done a dif­fer­ent thing from the fas­cism play­book, ba­si­cal­ly. When it turns out that no in­di­vid­ual seems to be as ter­ri­ble as the ones we as­so­ciate with def­i­nite evil, it’s dis­missed as some kind of sensationalism. 

How­ev­er, all of this has been con­sis­tent­ly mov­ing us in that same di­rec­tion with­out ac­tu­al­ly be­ing un­done, pol­i­cy-wise. Trump doesn’t need his own Re­ich­stag fire to change the rules, be­cause it’s all al­ready in place. America’s face guy is chang­ing, but we’ve had some of the same peo­ple in charge of every­thing else the whole time. It was es­pe­cial­ly easy to let our rights be signed away when the per­son in charge seemed like some­one we could trust not to take advantage … 

Evil is not re­quired to set things into mo­tion now – just some­one re­al­ly brave and obliv­i­ous enough to step up and pull the trig­ger. And it’s okay to let him be the vil­lain who does it, be­cause half the peo­ple ex­pect that it’s in­evitable and the oth­er half will only de­cide too late that it was­n’t in their best interest.

I don’t think our Pres­i­dent is a bad per­son – at least in a con­ven­tion­al sense. I think he is in­cred­i­bly shel­tered and men­tal­ly ill, and dis­liked by all the oth­er im­por­tant rich peo­ple in a way that makes him per­fect for this po­si­tion. And that makes it a lot hard­er to an­swer, this ques­tion of: Who or what do we at­tack, and by what chan­nels, in or­der to ex­press our un­rest, to change things for the bet­ter – or more specif­i­cal­ly, to af­fect who holds seats in some of these po­si­tions that reg­u­lar peo­ple don’t get to vote on? 

Hon­est­ly, I have no idea. 

But I hope we can all at least be a lit­tle more aware, for what­ev­er that’s even worth.

I like to think things will change or­gan­i­cal­ly as the old­er gen­er­a­tion dies or re­tires. How­ev­er, I’m start­ing to think the first gen­er­a­tion of peo­ple to live for­ev­er will ac­tu­al­ly be boomers, so they can find a way to keep all the jobs and ef­fec­tive­ly see the world through to its ruin, as sag­gy 900 year old cy­borgs, still de­mand­ing to see the man­ag­er at Michaels over a $1 charge for a bag.

At least the rest of us will all have al­ready died with­out health­care by then.
