Many Americans are confused.
Unsure what they should do.
Not knowing who or what to trust.
Having difficulty when they need to adjust.
And just like teens who frequent the gang scenes.
Not hesitating to do wrong.
Wanting to look strong and feel like they belong.
Engaging in whatever gimmick.
To feel like they fit in.
That’s where many Americans stand.
Primed to be putty in someone’s hand.
Some have latched to Trump.
Others, no matter what, stay with the Republicans.
Even in regards to Covid-19.
People say they aren’t sure what to believe.
Yes, there has been conflicting information.
Unfortunately Trump’s first move was deception.
But we’re at least 8 months into this mess.
People should get the basics by now, more or less.
Enough to know that there are guidelines to follow.
How the virus connects – that’s more clear.
How it effects, has been like Russian roulette.
No, masks and precautions are not solid guarantees.
But they are what we have for protection to the highest degree.
You can wear protective gear in battle
And still get injured when hit.
That doesn’t mean the gear is to be dismissed as ineffective.
Americans seem to be having problems with reasoning and judgment.
Mass confusion when making decisions.
Unfortunately it seems that many have dumbed down.
That’s why they staunchly stand with Trump.
Too difficult to sift through for truth.
Intimidated by complex issues.
Decide by perceive and feel, not fact and real.
No longer wanting to think.
Looking for the simple.
Swayed when emotions are stroked.
Feelings of brain fog as if they’ve been doped.
Losing their sense to care.
Seeking those who tell them what they want to hear.
Easy to exploit and steer.
Lack of ability and willingness to gather information.
Falling for rhetoric and manipulations.
Making them vulnerable to cult-like leaders and scams.
Not needing details, just broad-stroke plans.
Failure to see dangers clouded by propaganda layers.
Being lured by possible future threats or what they might get.
People are convinced that Trump couldn’t have lost the election.
Based on his rally crowd sizes when compared to Biden’s.
That’s their evidence – does that make sense?
Only trust is in Trump and will go by his command.
So if Trump demands –
Some are willing to arm themselves
And engage in civil war against the Left.
How is that for sound judgment?
Republicans’ refusal to hold Trump accountable
Said about 9 months ago –
Let the people decide come November.
Then the People gave Biden the win.
And Republicans are resisting the results of the election still.
Supposedly fraud only happened in the places Trump lost.
And where he won, all was above board.
People actually believe that Biden’s win was a steal.
How feasible is that for reasoning?
With Trump’s hold.
The Republicans’ fold.
And half of America sold.
No matter how it’s phrased, many Americans still don’t get it.
Trump is not a good match for this Republic.
They are still trying to fit His Roundness into the Oval Office.
Like someone craving a drug.
Or a caffeine addict desperately holding their coffee mug.
This type of psyche makes people flighty.
It breathes doubt and instability.
Miserable, uncomfortable, vulnerable.
Disgruntled, anxious, unsettled.
When you believe in the dread
And that you’re walking on thin thread.
You tend to lose your confidence.
Then your path is not to lead but to follow.
No longer a pillar of strength but a wall that’s hollow.
That’s where many Americans are today.
Still primed should another predator come their way.
