Re: [marxmail] perspectives for coming Trump regime, Part One
sartesian --- "situational" depression does not need a professional it needs time and perspective --- I imagine there is NOTHING WRONG with short run depression feelings --- but soon we gotta get up and figure out the best way(s) to fight back --- and as a fairly clueless 81-year old, I look forward to finding people to follow on that course On Mon, Nov 18, 2024 at 12:29 PM sartesian via groups.io wrote: > On Mon, Nov 18, 2024 at 04:54 AM, John Reimann wrote: > > any thinking adult will have experienced anger, grief, even depression > after the election. > > Really?

Re: [marxmail] perspectives for coming Trump regime, Part One
I'm not big on sports but I enjoy watching bull riding. It goes back to the Pleistocene -- man & beast -- a dance of danger and hubris. In bull riding, the bulls are respected and expected to be fearsome, unpredictable and dangerous. The trick is to know the creature and stay on for 8 seconds to win money. In this regard, and especially considering the venal and vacuous opportunists so far picked for cabinet positions ( https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/11/15/roaming-charges-trumps-cabinet-of-curiosities/ ) , I see much resemblance between the Trump admin and bull riding. Trump is the angry and unpredictable bull here and the players are either those who feel, as Elon Musk, that they can profit by riding him as long as possible, the vacuous opportunists like Gabbard, or those trying to corral the mad beast and limit the damage. In any case, it cannot be anything but a Vaudevillian carnival of competitive filth limited by it's own bumbling, fumbling, competitive myopic idiocy. On what positive side there is, whenever the Repugs are dominant, resistance and activism increase. We must make the best of that, building strength from solidarity and on vital issues, from human rights and labor rights, to climate and of course economics and the building of a movement to overthrow corporate rule. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: [marxmail] perspectives for coming Trump regime, Part One
It's worth remembering that voter participation was very low and he got only about half that. So it was more like a third of the electorate than the majority or the landslide we keep hearing about. The most effectively focused campaign centered on the active promotion of really stupid disinformation. Harris being a Commie. Democrats aborting babies at nine months and later. Etc. Etc. Etc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
