Try to remember how the Right Wing operates before you land on the wrong runway.

Some of you might be too young to know how the right wing of politics conducts their business...and others might just forget, or simply not believe, the extreme measures taken to win an election or discredit an opponent.

Long before Karl Rove entered the picture we had a guy in the White House who turned out to be the most paranoid politician in history. How the Richard Nixon "team" behaved is legendary and the players involved solidified their places in history without me naming names and repeating stories that can be researched in any library. Imagine for one second the things we don't know and didn't learn from testimonies and recordings.  Their attitude toward the rival party was borderline psychotic....and that type of behavior has to be created from the top down.

God only knows when Richard Nixon's paranoia first started to manifest itself.  It might have been during the McCarthy hearings in 1954 when he was Vice-President.

One cannot easily dismiss the anti-communist agenda that permeated our political culture in the 50's, 60's 70's and 80's....but in the 1950's there was a special type of anxiety regarding communism because of their (and our) development of Nuclear weapons.  The race was on to see who could make the most ultimate weapons of mass destruction. The Cold War existed until the Soviet Union financially collapsed in December of 1991.  But as with most things the beginnings are always a bit more intense and with both countries thinking that Nuclear attacks were imminent, paranoia run especially deep.

Communism isn't completely a political dinosaur but with the advent of the information highway, economic improvements and the ability of individuals to achieve financial success, the two largest purveyors of that system, Russia and China, are not resembling what Karl Marx had in mind.

North Korea appears to be the only serious communist country left and at last sighting they were pretty much considered batshit crazy.  Which is not a good thing but even their closest neighbor and supposed friend, China, seems to have a serious and watchful eye on their behavior.

You might have noticed that I deviated away from GOP political shenanigans but when I explain how that is an actual technique used by the right wing, than maybe you will begin to understand.

IT'S A SLIGHT OF HAND MANEUVER.....look over here at this thing I'm doing and you won't notice what I'm really doing over here.

The problem is that it's not a physical slight of hand but it's a  slight of MIND and IDEAS.

Currently we have a man who is apparently the GOP nominee for President of The United States who knows exactly how to divert your attention from reality.  (well, maybe not yours....but millions of others at this juncture)

HE KEEPS REPEATING THAT HE IS "GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

AMERICA IS GREAT......and everyday we look around the world and realize how lucky we truly are to be here.....and we note very quickly that there's a very long line of people attempting to join us.

Of course Canadians and Findlandians might disagree, but let's see how they operate with 400 million people.  It's always a numbers game when it comes right down to it.  And that applies to big numbers and small numbers.  China was growing with unchecked prosperity and then opps.  And by the way how often to you hear about Americans traveling to China for their college educations?  UCLA probably has more Chinese students than China has Americans....period.  (Traveling there on business doesn't count)

HE KEEPS TELLING US THAT "OUR MILITARY IS WEAK AND DEPLETED."

OUR MILITARY IS SO VASTLY SUPERIOR THAT IT'S SILLY....and he knows that most people won't research the facts regarding our military superiority.  And please note it is not a valid point when you ask a General or the President of a munitions company if our military is weak....and please tell me that you understand why that's not valid.

DON'T MAKE ME EXPLAIN IT!

HE KEEPS REPEATING THAT HE "WILL BUILD A WALL."

I have to give Hillary a little salvo here....last night in her wrapping up the delegates speech 
she said...."America is about building bridges not walls."

HE KEEPS SAYING THAT "OBAMA HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE PRESIDENT."

THE NUMBERS INDICATING A FINANCIAL RECOVERY FROM 2008 SHOW THAT NOT ONLY HAS BARRY BEEN GOOD, IT MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE .....THAT HE HAS BEEN GREAT.  

HE KEEPS SAYING "THAT HE WILL DEFEAT ISIS."

President Obama's method of fighting ISIS is to incorporate a collation....and while it might be taking longer, the plan, at the very least, has multiple countries involved in the effort.

THE TACTICS BEING USED BY DONALD TRUMP ARE NO DIFFERENT THAT WHAT RICHARD NIXON DID IN 1968 WHEN HE SAID THAT AMERICA NEEDED MORE LAW AND ORDER 
when in truth....IT WAS ASSHOLES LIKE RICHARD NIXON THAT WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEMS.

WE'VE HAD ASSHOLES IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT NEVER TURNED OUT GOOD.

DONALD TRUMP IS AN ASSHOLE 
AND EVEN PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT HIM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FACT......but they follow it up with "we need a tough guy in the White House not some pansy."

We need brains in the White House not a nutty narcissist who actually thinks that his hair looks good....and you know it's true.......he likes the way his hair looks and he thinks that orange is the new blond.

All I'm trying to say is.....during the upcoming Presidential election please do some minor research whenever someone starts throwing out their opinion.

WITH ALL THE AVENUES OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF US 
IT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE 

TO 

BE

STUPID.

Brainwashing is also not acceptable....nor is hypnotism.
