Implementing Solutions, Starting With Trump

THE DISEASE is widespread, and afflicts us all. Arrogance, combined with anger and alienation, produces pain, which produces hatred, which produces aggression, and violence. A nation founded violently, nurturing an unshakable belief in its own superiority, with a social Darwinistic economic and social ethic, provides a perfect recipe for the three capital A's. The United States of Avarice is a perfect storm for mass murder, and that is has come to full fruition so belatedly is a miracle of history. We white supremacist exhausted our supply of native Americans upon whom to enact our revenge, we shamed ourselves by brute legislative force into refraining from organized societal violence against Africans, women, homosexuals, among others, and we re left with no recourse but to exact our competitive violence vicariously, which we do, daily. Our mass murders are a fundamental America value, not some constantly recurring fluke. Fluke do not constantly recur. If we have the will, we can all do something to ameliorate or even eliminate the problem, after we have expressed our thoughts and prayer. Let us begin with the president, and a few comments from him. To wit: "I, Donald J. Trump, hereby renounce all racism, and to whatever extent I have displayed it throughout my life, I repent, I apologize, and I fully intend to atone. Totally terrific. I condemn white supremacy all who practice it, and I hereby declare the absolute, complete inherent equality of all people of all skin colors, light and dark, bigly. Likewise cultures, you'll see. All cultures are terrific, and they all contribute to our great American melting pot, whether or not it melts and produces a ubiquitous American culture, or remains solid, separate, identifiable, and equal. I hope that before I leave office all american neighborhoods are inhabited by people of all cultures and races, living happily together. Anyone in America should be left alone to speak whatever language, worship whatever deity, and perform whatever rituals of their choice, without censure. I repent of and intend to atone for every single one of the hateful, racist remarks I have. uttered previously, beginning with a visit to Baltimore, to lunch and chat with Representative Cummings, whose resistance to my previous bad behavior i greatly admire." He could say much more. he could talk about the need to redistribute wealth and opportunity more equitably to not only stimulate. free marked capitalism by increasing consumer demand, but also to reduce alienation, anger, our widespread societal frustration, and class resentment. Much can be done with the presidential bully pulpit, and it doesn't always have to be insulting, vicious, racist, and hateful. It can be uplifting, unifying, and inspiring, and, loving. This, notwithstanding that a snow ball has a far greater chance of surviving in hell than we the American people have of ever witnessing Trump behaving nobly. Yet, ultimately, it truly is about hearts and minds, thoughts and prayers. The president, at least in theory, has spoken. Now, its our turn.
