It is ironic how Trump, in his kamakazi assault on truth and decency , has ever so adroitly done more to unite humanity and to raise the collective level of humanities consciousness than all the of the spiritual leaders that currently walk the earth. He has done more to unite humanity across religions, political parties, borders, races, creeds,oceans , walls, boundriesnd political ideologies. All of humanity looks up at the same blue sky and stand on the same rich dark earth . Simultaneously , all of humanity know in the depths of our souls, imprinted in it's DNAl before ever opening a book or listened to a sermon attending sunday school the difference between good and evil. Trump has done more to galvanize disparate elements of the human family into a single voice unified by disgust, ignominy , injustice, cruelty, horror and collective betrayal. Trump has forged together adverse temperaments, naturalist, urbanist, futurist, nostalgists, professionals and ditch diggers, surgeons and short order cooks, , republicans and democrats, independents and the apolitical . Trump has been a corrosive acid, like napalm melting away the blubbery fat and cellulose and varacose veins of what has become a performative indolent democracy, leaving only raw sinue and bone .Trump has done more to seed the minds and hearts of those who have never prayed, never meditated, never cried for another person , and never been treated as less than human with those who are elevated to the highest social status for no apparent reason. With his fragrance of human feces and mendacity he has united families ensnared in private dispair, lovers falling out of love, fathers with rebellious sons, mothers fighting daughters, inlaws and outlaws . Trump has done more to deconstruct the historical illusion of a just society than scores of lofty historical Phd discourses and a thousand peace rallies.. He has done more with an avalanche of lies to shine light on the truth than the moon could ever shine so bright as to make us believe it was the sun. His lies have enshrined truth as a precious reinforcement and clarification as to what matter,s what is real and what is our souls sustenance.He is the proverbial turd in a punch bowl. Even his most avowed worshipers reach for Sprite, in a can. His feckless imbecilic lies are transparent to both the illiterate and the most erudite. Trump has in effect, with his dark deformed corrosive buggery of the planet showed us with the clarity of a near death vision all that humanity has to loose. The vivid beauty of this green earth and the magic of discovering each other in all our individuated and collective glory.If it was ever true that even Satan, unwittingly does Gods work, it is true now. Let us then with ecstatic exuberance lay waist to the brutality and inequities of the past. Let us burn the all the bridges that got us here. Let us adopt a scorched earth mentality abandoning the hierarchical cleptocracy under which we suffered so long. Let us lance this orange boil. And know now ,in our heart of hearts , there is no going back.
