Cerebrosclerosis and the American Way

Well, cerebrosclerosis IS the American Way because the ability in Americans to forget things is vastly higher than their ability to remember anything.  All but one of Presidential candidates have written off anyone intelligent and continue the trend of Lowest Common Denominator electoral success with Donald Trump showing a clear mastery of it.

The cerebrosclerotic aspect with Clinton has actually become comedy here and their serious determination is ludicrous but funny to watch when they have done little to nothing to research it.  She said it; she has boobs; I believe it.  Anywhere else, such logic or the lack of it would be astonishing.  Here, it isn't even a surprise.

(Ed:  why disrespect women?)

They disrespect themselves.  Witness Megyn Kelly as the Kim Kardashian of celebrity news and pandemic ignorance.  It's always a pity when an intelligent woman sells her soul but it's hardly uncommon in either party, is it.)


The conservative crew doesn't need overt cerebrosclerosis because they always forget the last GOP administration anyway except in terms of how it spread sunbeams and angel dust.  They forget also angel dust (i.e. PCP) often results in deaths because of the mad paranoia it elicits.

(Ed:  the neoDems do that as well in looking at Clinton and Obama as the good witches of the West or someplace!)

Fair enough.  They did that exactly and blithely ignore the failings of both ... but ... you already know the neoDems became low-rent but high-salary Republicans and thus gained an equivalent capacity to conservatives in forgetting things or simply glazing over them.  Obama has been an honorable man but one who sometimes made bad deals.  The fact he has behaved honorably and Clinton did not really doesn't make much difference to Democrats.  The support for Clinton now shows that perfectly.


Bernie Sanders comes up with a near-perfect platform representing the Democrats ... and is consequently labeled a radical by all the other political groups which have shifted so far right they can't find their way home anymore.

It's a case of endemic samaritraphobia in which people are remarkably good at giving the illusion of caring about this minority group or that but the substance isn't there and life only improves for the haves, always at the expense of the have nots.  (Ref:  samaritraphobia is hysterical indifference to anyone but yourself.  Coined by Kurt Vonnegut and used in multiple of his satires which had more truth than almost any political speech.)


We don't hate America despite frequent charges of it and we don't hate Americans despite frequent charges of that as well.  We absolutely loathe how Americans hate themselves and it's not the poors but rather the guilty richies who seek to absolve themselves and they don't do much of substance toward it so they keep spinning in pointless circles pointing fingers at everyone but themselves.  That's a classic symptom of samaritraphobia.


Donald Trump has been brilliant in representing microcephaliphilia (i.e. love of small brains) and now is showing remarkable deftness in a sucker player with the GOP elite.  He plays them like cheap harmonicas and, oh, do they sing the blues.  That aspect has been hilarious to watch.

(Ed:  do you actually know any Latin?)

Zero.


We have an ongoing admiration for Bernie Sanders because he works and he works whereas lesser candidates only spend and spend, typically with money which is not their own.  That's true for Trump and Clinton since Trump is apparently now riding the Super PAC gravy train as well.

Casey Jones, you better ...
watch your speed
