HILLARY CLINTON: WHAT HAPPENED
Here's a little something I wrote after the convention/infomercial
http://news.wgbh.org/2016/07/29/local-news/watch-convention-coverage-jill-stein-arts-coverage-olympics
I spent half my life, in what you probably view as fly-over America, and have seen first hand, the economic effects of neoliberalism, and the way they resonate in social and political culture.
There are children in old mill towns, and factory towns in this country, who walk to school in the snow, wearing sneakers that are more duct tape than shoe, without breakfast, and Clinton 'Democrats' expect their parents to be satisfied with gay wedding-cake frosting for two yuppies in Denver, as a sign of progress.
Let them eat cake?
While I won't be voting for him, at least Trump expresses concern for their despair, while it's the Clintons who are widely, and wisely, seen as the culprits behind their misfortune.
So, one can smugly write off Trumps campaign as what happens when rubes who take Rush Limbaugh seriously, get their own cable network, but there's a reason they were listening to Rush in the first place, and 'liberals' ignore these realities at their peril.
We've seen armed stand-offs between citizens of various affiliations (mostly on the right), and law enforcement and government agency staff, and not just in Nevada and Oregon, though these are the most widely publicized conflicts.
When people are hungry; when they despair, bad ideas become reasonable in their minds, and it's not always easy to predict where things are headed when violence becomes a part of the equation. To the left, like the first Iranians revolution? Or to the right, like the second revolution, after we reinstalled the same brutal monarch?
Again, there's nothing exotic about suggesting the Clinton's role in all of this widespread discontent.
The serious journalism done on this subject could fill the library at Alexandria, but here are some of my favorites:
