Day 130: 2020 Pandemic. A Modest Proposal On Protesting. Stop.
We are in a lose-lose-lose situation. If you remember War Games, the movie from 1983, in the end the computer decides the only way to win the nuclear escalation is to not play at all. That’s pretty much our situation now.
I’m not saying give in. Or surrender. We have to think strategically. I see many people lament those who only watch Fox News, but you’re just as wrong if you don’t watch Fox News daily to see what’s going on. Remember, Trump takes his cues from Fox.
I’m surprised that no one’s reported on what happened the night things got tense with Iran. After Iran launched missiles and hit our bases? We watched Fox. Why? Because we knew Trump was. While everyone was wondering what he would do and debating counter-strikes, Tucker Carlson was urging restraint. And then he brought on a guest we never saw before and never saw again. She was labeled a Middle East Expert and dressed oddly for such an expert. Personally, I believe she was an actress hired for this role and given a script. Because she went on this rant about how Pelosi and Schumer wanted war with Iran so badly; it was their only goal. That they wanted Trump to go to war. Yada, Yada. Just minutes after that segment aired, Trump stood down the counterstrikes.
