"We want to make politics sort of entertaining. If it is entertaining, people are going to be interested in it, and if they are interested in it, they might think more about it and maybe involve themselves in some way down the line."
One reason I love Ridley Scott is his ability to encompass an epic experience into a few single scenes. Queue "Gladiator" and Maximus in the arena at Zucchabar.
"Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?!"
In a rough way it's a mirror of the current world. Politics happen in the arena. The weak are slaughtered, the old veterans hold sway. Until an outsider, a Maximus, a Trump comes in and upends the system.
People don't understand how that system works - by design - and if people did then I believe the politicians utilizing that system would fear for their own lives. I think that's part of JFK Jr's genius. He knew the light had to be directed into the darkness like a stage spotlight highlighting the actor of the play.
Are you alive? Are you free-thinking? As of this moment are you able to hold your own beliefs and not be shot?
Of course there is something to hold on to. It's the ideas embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. "All men(and women) are endowed by their Creator...". By the Creator not the State.
Revolutions are based on ideological differences between the rulers and the ruled. Whether or not Revolutions are successful depends on whether or not the Revolutionaries believe in what they are fighting for. For now, Q is a sort of Revolution.
What you need to decide, in this crisis we see unfolding, is where you stand. By that I mean, what do you choose to do if it all fails to unfold how Q said it would? Do you lie down broken and beaten and lapse into a belief that the world is over because the other side accomplished what it did? Or, do you reject that pessimism and make the decision to embody the Q idea of fundamental government change by grassrooting your local elections or even running for office yourself?
I believe that's the spirit of the Q ideal. We will see profound election fraud, profound demographic shifts in favor of the opposition, and the result will be an arduous fight for what is fair for all and not just a few. But it's up to individuals to step up to the plate and go to bat for what the Founding Fathers gifted us.
Grab it. With both fists. Don't let go. Fight for it. Believe in it!

I really needed to hear that right about now.
No matter what happens we have all opened our eyes to more than we probably anticipated, there's no coming back from that.
And discovering the truth is always freeing in itself.
And I do believe in miracles...
Maybe there is something left to hold on to.
Thanks for letting me see that.
The littlest things really do make a world of a difference.
Much love.

Really? No, really, Really?

But, that's just me.
Well, you just snapped me back into reality!
Duh! You're so right.
It ain't over until we're dead in the ground...and even then it ain't over.
Our forefathers sure as hell wouldn't have given up this easy, we damn sure wouldn't have a country if that were the case!
You are an inspiration fireball my good fellow!!
From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for that fire under my ass...I sure needed it.
