The Perfect Storm

Ok, everyone celebrate...the outsiders won!  And the Republicans voted for a racist and xenophobic narcissistic billionaire who is the very opposite of income equity.  (By the way please stop using income equality, there is no way that is ever going to happen...equity maybe, equality no).  And the Democrats voted for a socialist who promises everything.

Both are living in a dream world.  And both could potentially wreck their party's chances to win the Presidency. And if both are really nominated the prospects for a Civil War explode.  

As America tries to at least discuss the worst income inequity in our history, caused by the Global economy, the two parties fly to opposite poles.  

So this means it will be winner takes all in November.  If Trump wins he promises to end immigration reform with walls, attack mercilessly in the Middle East, and believe me he will not increase taxes on the rich or corporations.  HE IS CORPORATE AMERICA!

And Bernie...well...he promises everything will be free.  He does at least promise to increase taxes on the rich, but his grasp of corporate power is limited at best.  In short, Bernie's heart sounds like it is in the right place, but he won't be able to deliver.  If you thought the grid lock was bad with Obama's idealism running into conservative roadblocks, just wait for Bernie.

So by stupidly voting the way we are, we are only increasing the chances of ineffectual government to the point of violence in 2016.

It is time adults take command of the ship.  We need to elect a moderate who can forge some kind of new coalition with the other side.  We have a majority of Red States in this country people, who thanks to gerrymandering are not going to change.  We have a minority of populated Blue states who, take California for example, are not going to change due to demographics. The majority of people in the country are Blue.  But the electoral college does NOT work that way, witness 2000!  

How on earth by electing more extreme candidates will this work?  I have often warned about fascism on Facebook (an oxymoron).  But the threat is real.  In a clash of corporate power, with the way our government is organized, the potential for a right wing take over of government is huge, with disastrous consequences.

Elect Trump and Bernie and you have the perfect storm......
