THE DECISION DELUSION: DICTATOR VERSUS DEMOCRACY

The 2024 Presidential election decision is illusory. As a practical matter, it does not exist. We must vote to ensure the efficacy of and adherence to the constitutional voting process. But we need not concern ourselves with the choice for whom we vote. Believing there is a choice is delusional.

The Republican candidate is the most vile and despicable human being one can imagine. His record is one of unspeakable crimes, behavior, and vitriol. He is totally bereft of moral and humanistic virtue and value. He is mentally ill and of deficient mental capacity and capability. He is a malignant narcissist and most likely an imbecile. He is a common grifter and conman. He is constitutionally barred from office by the 14th Amendment.

So, he is unfit. Not of good character. But here is the clincher. He has left no doubt that he will be a dictator. He cannot finish it in 4 years, but he will try. So, lemmings, is that the freedom you want?
The rest of us, call us the rest of us, suffer no illusion. There is only one choice.

The choice between President Biden and Donald J. Trump does not exist.

BECAUSE WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

We have an unequal distribution of wealth and power that feeds racism, denial of civil rights, extreme political silos, failure to compromise, fake news, vitriol, cultism, and a slow walk into fascism, autocracy, and theocracy. 

We suggest thought leadership by examining the true nature of capitalism, how one of our most celebrated thinkers saw us through the lens of equal distribution by socialistic principles, how we must adhere to the rule of compromise to survive, what modest measures from Congress would save us and how we get there through leadership.

Each of these five suggested steps is explained as follows:

WHO AM I?

I am a philosophical truth-seeker and legal enthusiast. I love science and the law as they follow the evidence and help me discover objective truth and reality. I eschew faith, the absence of evidence upon which beliefs rely.

THE BE NICE RULE

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS ON MORALITY, LAWS AND THE GOLDEN RULE:

https://www.facebook.com/reflectoria/posts/pfbid02z9cpm9ZgWJ8Xt5rdAA4EfQMrBKcYkYTUcvXa33wmskw1BwijJNJePjG93my4W4Ydl

The golden rule leads the list of our moral tautologies. Yet we fail to examine its origin, its thoughtless usage, its various interpretations, its latent error, and its pernicious interference with moral nuances and our intuitive secular system of laws and justice.

Scratch the surface. What we mean in our positive expression of the rule is to be nice. To be nice.

Any other interpretation, usage, or practice of doing to others is subject to our laws on human behavior.
