Reflections From a Murky Pond

Yes, America has a rat problem. Disney’s firing of Gina Carano for “insensitive comments” is just the latest, greatest, and most overt exercise in their pandering to the fringe/minority elements in America and their growing despite for seemingly anything that is normative within American culture.

And yes, at my age, having grown up on reruns of the original Mickey Mouse Club – that’d be the one hosted by Jimmie Dodd and featuring Annette Funicello and Cubby O’Brien – and The Wonderful World Of Disney, it’s particularly horrific to me that what was a bastion of American values and general wholesomeness has turned itself into an oikophobic, kink-ridden re-education medium aimed at America’s children.

Those people who claim that voting doesn’t matter because the candidates and their respective parties are, at the end of the day, all going to act the same are simply expressing a key sign of the pathology of extreme disillusionment. These – can’t really call them fringers anymore, not after two runs of Bernie Sanders – sad ideological extremists just “aren’t well” and aren’t truly capable of processing reality in a more normative fashion and seem to respond solely to stimuli that the rest of us don’t see.

Now true, at some past points in history, these sorts did have some modicum of a point. A professional, establishment Republican was not fundamentally different from a professional, establishment Democrat. Once elected, both differed in behavior from the other only in priorities and rhetoric. Those times, however, have been over for quite a while – something that the Left’s pundits bemoan regularly enough that only the paranoid would dispute the truth of it.

Frankly, between the election of Donald Trump, a total political outsider, to the office of President and Bernie Sanders’ two almost-nominations – both blocked almost solely through machinations of the DNC – it’s more than clear that the sufferers of extreme disillusionment are not enjoying the same consensus reality as the rest of us.

Indeed, instead of sheep voting for either the wolf or the lion, it’s now two opposing flocks of sheep each trying to put their sheepdog into power, thereby gaining the grazing lands for themselves.
