Reply #6: Careful Now... The average Rupuglican... [View All]

Be Careful Now... The "Average Republican"** probably doesn't understand "Unitary" and would assume that it's referring to a "Unitarian"... and they won't know exactly what a "Unitarian" is, but that it's got something to do with a Christian denomination--so it must be a good thing, therefore they will vote for it!

Of course, if it said "Hillary for Unitary President", then they really will be confused--for even if Hillary was so Christian that she quit Congress and went on a Religious Sabbatical where she spends a year traveling the world as a Christian Evangelist... they still wouldn't vote for her. So, even if they didn't get the real meaning of "unitary", it'd still sit uncomfortably with them--because it would be hard to admit Hillary might be a "real" Christian--just like themselves. Being critically allergic to cognitive dissonance, they'd never admit Hillary could be a "real" Christian and a Democrat at the same time; just thinking about it would make them feel queasy, though. So it'd be worth doing such a bumber sticker--even if most Repubics don't get it.

Those who DO get it, though, would either be truly unsettled and think creating a Unitary Presidency is a bad idea, or would simply choose to believe that Democrats will never again be able to mount a successful bid for the Presidency! Alas, if they continue to expand the use of their easily defrauded electronic voting machine/systems as well as retain total control over public/mass media--they just might be right. In fact, it may soon be the case that they could all stay home on Election Day and still win by a landslide even if Democrats got 100 million Dems to vote--majically, the Repoogs would win by some percentage of the votes--as though 106 million Republicans voted. It might be hard to explain why throughout the country, not one single Republican was seen at the polls--and the exit polls showed 100 million Dems to zero Repugs--but not very hard, since by then exit polls would be confidential and the story wouldn't even be reported in the major media outlets at all. Sometime later, they might cover--briefly--that some "fringe" far-left Democrats are blogging away in their latest "Conspiracy Theory" that "Not Even One Republican Voted"--and "we all know how absurd that is! Of course, that presumes that "we" still have access to the internet in such a way as to be able to communicate with each other...

We depend on the internet... it's the last means by which we can even hear the latest guesses as to what's going on--how much we never even hear about right now would probably surprise us, but the point is--our last bastion is a fragile one--which is more and more coming under the control of an abusive government and self-centered corporations that work in concert with that government...

Will the last free American please turn out the lights before they're whisked away to who knows where, who knows when... (probably unnecessary, since they will probably come in the night (though, any more, they have no fear coming in broad daylight and may even have their own "embedded reporters").
