We've been making an assumption for the last decade that the "wall" he keeps longing to build is an actual, physical 𧱠wall, like made of brick or stone or whatever physical materials.
π€ What if we missed the much more obvious option? A "wall" in the more philosophical sense.
Like, remember in the movie INDEPENDENCE DAY, when David sorta flips out and starts trashing his work place, because maybe if the planet is screwed up enough, the aliens π½ won't want it?
Well... what if that is the plan?
Take away enough rights, mistreat large chunks of the American population enough to turn the country "cringe" π¬, maybe that "wall" will build itself because people won't want to immigrate.
It's kind of brilliant. Like, imagine if the Native Americans who first made contact with the Mayflower, if they had shown the Pilgrims a horror show. Imagine if the first group of slaves that Columbus took got to Europe and were all, "thanks for the rescue from our toxic home," and then all agreed to make up a horror story of insurmountable odds. And Europeans were like, "maybe we don't want to sail west anymore." The Vikings didn't seem to enjoy Canada 500 years before that.
Maybe this is the plan. Because maybe if enough Americans look like the old Sally Struthers commercials, which tinted the view of the whole continent of Africa π (wasn't the goal, but was the outcome), maybe that's the MAGA plan. To sully the country in the eyes of the world.
Even hired a comedian to test it out. On the stage of a former president, a comedian insulted an American Commonwealth. And that former president did nothing, didn't storm out and defend his country. Just stood by.
Because maybe it was a test. Could they trash the country and still win support from the country?
Yup.
So maybe they attack women, LGBTQ+, poor people, the elderly, disabled Americans, veterans, and π±πΎπ§πΏ♂️π§π½♀️π§π½π¨πΏπ¦°π¨πΌπ¦°π©π»π©π¦°π§πΌπ¦² nearly every ethnic group. Basically everyone.
Are we ever on the same page. I'm so frustrated by our willingness to just accept what we know we should change for the betterment of all. Sigh . . .
