Monday Morning Memo

Greg, I’m sorry I couldn’t get the wizard to make any comment.
I can’t be certain, but I think he refused me because he knew that anything he said would only trigger more questions. If it’s any consolation, I did find this sort-of-funny email the wizard received from a friend of his a few weeks ago. – Indy

America in 2017 is a story of two TRIBES.

RED,WHITE & BLUE tribe – The Tribe that Trump appeals to is the flag waving, gas guzzling, climate denying, “Jesus rides shotgun” bumper sticker on my pick up truck … Red, White & Blues … RED NECKS, WHITE SKIN, BLUE COLLARS … who see themselves as True Americans …the bad guys are Big Gov & Lefties …  they believe in a world without a lot of rules that apply to them (rules is for them others) … the world is a scary place and every legal citizen, preferably the ones with pale skin, should be packing a gun.

PINK RAINBOW coalition – The Angry’s on the opposite side of the divide are the Pink Rainbow Coalition … the Obama-Nation … a collection of disaffected groups whose identity is based on skin tone, gender confusion and social issues (issues that yearn to drive electric). Skin is the thing … black skin, brown skin, thin skin …hero is Uncle Sugar passing out free money to create programs to solve every problem from acne to personal disarmament to nuclear disarmament… so we call all live happily ever after … the bad guy is Big Biz aka the Fat Cats who don’t pay their fair share of the taxes … and of course the enemy is the ignorant Right-Wing Red-State White-Supremacy states.

Random Quote:

“Ms. Papacharissi said that in her 20 years of researching and interviewing people about online behavior, one conclusion has remained consistent: people use the internet to get more of what they do not get enough of in everyday life. So while people have been socialized to resist being impulsive in the real world, on the internet they cave to their temptations to lash out. ‘The internet becomes an easy outlet for us to shout something and feel for a moment fulfilled even though we’re really just shouting out into the air,’ she said.”

- Brian X. Chen, New York Times, Aug. 8, 2018, speaking of Zizi Papacharissi, a professor of communication at the University of Illinois-Chicago
