(89,463 posts)Still staunch Hillary supporter here and I did NOT enjoy having a-certain-other-candidate-who-wasnt-Hillary jammed down my throat as relentlessly as I felt Thom Hartmann was trying to do. So I stopped listening to him.
But reading his essays and analysis now is good, and thought-provoking. He makes some very valid points here about the GOP and its dreams of white supremacy.
But then again, thats really about all they have left. The societal mixing, merging, moving and relocation, intermarriage, and everything else that happens in a living, breathing, NON-static environment - all of those dynamics are horrifying to the white community that basically got used to unchallenged dominance and doesnt want to have to share power.
Well, shit! Theres this thing called evolution. Things EVOLVE! NOTHING stays the same. Things CHANGE! And with changing times, you have to be able to adapt. And you have to be WILLING to acknowledge that changing reality. And adapt. And as the dinosaurs found out long ago, its Adapt, or Die.
And seems to me, the problem for the GOP is - they want EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY ELSE to adapt - to THEIR wishes and THEIR idea of the social construct while they stay static and dont have to change or adapt. And they dont seem interested in even acknowledging a need to evolve and adapt.
But theyre on the wrong side of evolution dynamics. And that will inevitably align their future with that of the dinosaurs.
Nature is a hard task-master. And its always in motion, evolving and changing. But the GOP
likes it like they think they remember it. And they dont want to have to change, much less relinquish their perception of their divine right to be dominant. WE like it this way. This is the way it SHOULD be. We dont want to change. And we shouldnt have to. YOU change to suit how WE want it to be.
And that aint the way it works! Nature doesnt follow mankinds dictates. Sorry, GOP. Its the OTHER WAY AROUND.
Adapt or die.
