The real Deep State vs. Will Roger’s organized political party – that he didn’t belong to




As my days to Aug 9th dwindle a new plan for the next two years has come into view. Its a reaction to my never ending desire to prepare to save the Earth and now Democracy for the future and my twin desires to write books of consequence and recapture both America’s pragmatism and idealism. We were once a nation reconciled to gray. Now we are living on the brink of a black and white civil war. Its a war of ideas and sensibilities more than of race but race does have a long standing seat at the table.

Here are a few words attributed to Trump guru and former Nixon Trixter Roger Stone apparently delivered to raise money at some “conservative” forum not long ago:

“And yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is a Satanic portal about the White House. You can see it day and night. It exists. It is real. And it must be closed and it will be closed by prayer…It popped up after Joe Biden became president and it will be closed before he leaves.”

I’ve always enjoyed repeating the Depression Era humorist Will Roger’s quip: ” I don’t belong to any organized political party – I’m a Democrat.” When the part-Native American Oklahoman said it racists in the South were joined at the hip with Unions in Nothern industrial cities in an awkward marriage. Of course a party like that would be at war with itself. Since then the children of the white racist South have stopped lynching people and have thrown their lot in with Republicans. They have taken their python-like grip of Congress with them joining the cunning plans of the super rich who have used Dark Money to shield themselves from paying taxes like everybody else.
Between them they have gotten themselves a Supreme Court that has granted them almost unlimited ability to spend “dark money” assuring them congressional majorities.

The great irony is that these forces have also fostered great paranoia among their the Trumplican following about a hypothetical “Deep State” ruled by the undisciplined and feuding Democrats. Democrats are more like the deep shit statew than a collective conspiracy like that found backing Donald Trump.

If there is any treachery it can now be found in the Congressman like Pete Stauber who endorsed Trump’s efforts to disqualify state elections that clearly went against Trump. That helps explain the million dollars of untraceable money in Pete’s campaign account.

Just asking.

I’ll proof read this after I mow my lawn. But before I crank up the mower here is what Rogers’s said: “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.”
