They Spoke, People Listened (A Historical Perspective)

Last night was the 2nd GOP debate and that is as far as I am going to go with my post on that debate.  I feel others will pick it apart and do it all the justice I would have done……

I want to take another tact here….ideological thoughts……

I admit it I am a viewer of the History Channel especially when they actually target historical events and stuff…..I refuse to view any of the entertainment that stinks of reality TV……in the course of watching a series on dictators I came across something that gave me pause….a pause to think….and consider some similarities in today’s political discourse.  And you guys know me….I do love to throw a little historical perspective into my writings…….well you will not be disappointed.

One of the series covered Hitler…….. of course it did….I mean what is the History Channel without Hitler?  An expert on this program was talking about Hitler’s Mein Kampf….this person was analyzing the content and he stated that it was a mish-mash of rambling thoughts and mostly jibberish….(hold that thought)

On another part of the series the life and times of Libya’s Qaddafi was covered…..the show covered all aspects of his life and rise to power and even an expert talked about his ideology in his book, The Green Book.  The expert went on to tell of the ideas and the randomness of his thoughts and this expert like another one called the thoughts as “immature and jibberish”…..(sound familiar?)  (Hold that thought also)

Now fast forward to today and especially last night……

I have watched and listen to Trump for months now…all the while waiting for some sort of perspective on his solutions to the problems that he points out…..instead I get rambling, narcissistic rhetoric….most of the time it sounds like a 3rd grader defending himself to a pissed off teacher for his misbehavior….the best way I can describe his speeches is…….rambling thoughts, immature and jibberish.  (And there we have the closing of the circle)

Are those characteristics of a dictatorial, maniacal  mad man…..incoherent jibber jabber?

Don’t have a stroke…….Just asking.

  1. OMG. You mean to tell us that the greatest control of a people is by jibberish-speaking idiots? That language is older than the mammoths who roamed the earth millions of years ago. What goes around, comes around. It doesn’t say much for the people who follow, does it? At least Trump doesn’t have gun-toting gorillas surrounding him as his personal escort – or does he?
