Accepting the Unacceptable

'Grin and bear it' doesn't really help ...

It is not easy to parse the World in which we wobble through a second decade of the 21st Century.  Nothing quite seems to make sense.  Not logically, not practically, and not even by the measure 'common sense'.

In fact, senses seem to have been taken leave of, for many people.  At least I assume they are people and not replicants strategically placed by evil aliens to disrupt our society and increase sales of antidepressants and premium scotch.

I think I might need both of those 'treatments' as I read (or hear, or watch) not-so-fake news every single day about the clown team in DC and their Big Bozo rambling destructively about like the Three Stooges on cocaine.

Then there's the former giant communist empire being resurrected as fully and as quickly as possible by that Happy Topless Horseman, Vladdy, who just so happens to have possibly, probably influenced our elections to help get Bozy in.  With Bozy's team possibly, probably helping from the inside.

The replicants say it is not so.  That Bozy is not in Vladdy's pocket.  But hell,  there is so much smoke you can't see the damn fire. Something's burning, and it just might be the constitution.

But what can a poor boy do, ('except work in a rock 'n roll band)?  How do you manage when every attempt to counter each and every insult to our democracy inflicted by the Big Boze is met with howling troops of replicants who don't seem to care what he does?  As he said himself, he could almost literally shoot people on the street and still be supported. At least that's how it appears.

So, here's the gist.  If you aren't a clown on Bozo's team, and aren't a replicant, how do you manage these events?  You have no real influence outside your limited social media circle, hold no powerful elected office, and can't support the effort with the wealth you don't have.  What can you do?

Well, there's the antidepressants and the premium scotch.  But you can also find and give your support to local, state, and national politicians who you feel aren't clowns - or replicants.  You can also try to reprogram replicants you face using kindness and tolerance (the antidepressants and scotch can help you with both).  Or, just work with the replicants on practical things and ignore their crazy clown politics until you can vote their Bozy out of office.

It also helps to turn off the news and avoid your social media from time to time, to rest from the onslaught of Bozo pratfalls.

Hmm ... I guess the Ringling Bros Circus hasn't ended after all, it's just changed venue.
