The show makes the president
and the forces he serves stronger by distracting our attention and exhausting us.
Its net effect is to make us feel defeated.
This is nothing but plain
abuse. Both the media and the conservative churches have been hijacked and
abused. We ourselves are hijacked and abused, and we abuse one another, when we obsessively write the name and spread the image—reposting articles thinking we’re
resisting and making fun. refusetheabuse fears that we make him stronger when we do that.
Now there is a danger that a
big impeachment effort in the House of Representatives will absorb everyone’s
attention and keep the image foremost in the media for the next
year. refusetheabuse fears that an
impeachment effort too will fail, and in the meantime resource-appropriation by the corporate forces will continue. Maybe the president could be impeached and
thrown out of office. But how long would it take?—probably the remainder of his
term. refusetheabuse thinks chances
are we’d be doing him a favor. The next election would come right at the moment
when we’ve failed to throw him out and we’re frustrated and defeated.
refusetheabuse likes the voices of Nancy Pelosi and Robert Reich.
Let’s not try to impeach—too much grief! Let’s not rely on stagy
legal efforts to get rid of him, but have faith in the basic decency of the
voters (if this faith is misplaced, all hope is gone).
refusetheabuse believes that nothing should be done that
disseminates the image. If the opposing candidate is only about defeating the
current president, they will lose. Let’s support someone who has genuine positive energy—Elizabeth Warren maybe. A genuinely likable candidate will win. "Electability" is bunk.
Let’s stop abusing ourselves and each other by
watching the media show. Watching doesn’t help.
