1/ Reading my recent threads you can conclude "OMG it's so bad, how can we prevail"
I get that. I'm describing the rotted structure & bad systems b/c if it weren't so rotten, the GOP couldn't have gotten away with this evil.
2/ Put another way: if we fix the bad structure, this won't happen in the same way (maybe at all). It helps to be a systems thinker here, and since COVID has made most of you amateur epidemiologists, we can compare contagions
3/ The virus spreads in a certain way, when we understand how the virus works, we can slow or stop the mechanisms of spread and that will prevent damage.
As Fauci said, the virus tells us what we need to do to prevent contagion.
So: masks, 6 feet, good ventilation etc
4/ Stop the vector of disease, the disease will slow, maybe even die out. Systems are everywhere, structure is built in, but most people need to be trained to see them.
Some see structure naturally (like me), some are incapable of ever seeing them (#literalists)
5/ 2020 is a hellscape because the structures were rotten, not because of fate, it wasn't inevitable.
Fixing SCOTUS, fixing FoxNews & Facebook, is like wearing masks and washing hands.
6/ I'll describe the theory behind this later (I've clunkily & temporarily called it the Anthropic-Darwin Principle, which basically operationalizes the relationship b/w structure & function) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic…
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.
208.02/ Demographically, I should be part of the "elite" but the past two weeks showed me that I'm a solid true-blue member of the Democratic "base" because I'm standing by Biden-Harris & have a white-hot rage against the media (& the cowards in my party) trying to take us down.
208.03/ People ask "Why haven't the media learned their lesson from 'But Her Emails?' in 2016"?! But the answer is QED - they did learn their lesson: that with relentless bad-faith attacks they can knock out the Democrat & elect a cash-cow tabloid buffoon. They know & want this.
207.02/ I didn't see the debate because I can't stand listening to Trump (ym'sh). The bizarre meltdown by the MSM calling for Biden to drop out is not only disgusting but reignited the normie-Democrats' blazing anger at the MSM goofs that brought us "But Her Emails" in 2016.
207.03/ Ironically, the drumbeat from the MSM about Biden's age for months - probably starting right after the withdrawal from Afghanistan which ruined their gravy train - prepared the public for how he sounded at the debate. The MSM hit-job backfired.
205.02/ It's important to know: every pawn can become a queen.
