Bout Time

I think it’s safe to say after watching the election campaigns – it’s less about the candidates and more about fear, anger and the public's distrust of Washington. Since it is republicans voting for Trump and since republicans control congress let us remember a vote for trump is a vote against the republican leadership, a vote against congress. 8-13% approval ratings have long since been ignored by congress, as long as individual congressmen and women are reelected, it’s business as usual. But people have simply had enough, they’ve had it with Washington.

Fear and anger we can place the blame on all around. From Bush's mushroom clouds, to political strategies designed to cajole and terrorize voters as a means to election and a pathway to consolidate power. And lets not forget our media, fear = ratings = money, 24/7. Turn your country into a nation of victims through exaggerated threats and its people will eventually erupt in anger. Play the fear card long enough as means to power and/or wealth and eventually what you get in return is seething rage.

It appears the whole greedy tapestry is about to unravel. This election tells the politicians, the media, the entire corrupt system that enough is finally enough. It is all about to implode.

Bout time.
