Mobsters
Take notes. The morality of losing everything (usually because someone talked) One of the recurrent themes here is organized crime. We have made the thing a little difficult for made guys in the mob to move among us. The mob has weathered bloody insurrections, federal convictions and undercover agents through decades of legal and illicit operations. Trump grew up in NYC in the 1950s. His adult role models took on the patina of secrecy. Don’t tell anyone how much you make. Hush. It’s a secret in a very dark terrain of other secrets. Big men have big secrets. Like who knew and when did they know it. The government caught the Little Fish. The Big Fish were harder to fry.
Miles Taylor said it best. “The root of the problem is Trump’s amorality.” Amorality was the background once. Today, that amorality is the foreground. Trump knows this. The show must go on. Why. Because the American people love the show, and they are willing to pay for it with their hard-earned cash. Their endurance.
And their famous inability to look the other way, but only quickly because we can see his minions coming for us. Our arrests will be made by Americans. Executions will be signed off by SCOTUS. They do it already. Execution is the bedrock of the law. To scare us, he will make us watch, and the American people will applaud. They are compliant. The nurse who puts the needle in is only trying to help you. Go back to prohibition. Americans felt the government had gone too far. Too fast. Too fabricated. Morality is not Moses. Reality is, it’s coming for us. – Tim Barrus
