This is Extremely Dangerous to our “REPUBLIC”
NOBODY’S OPINION
“MOVE.” That’s what my orthopedic surgeon said after my knee replacement last year. He said I didn’t need therapy, I just needed to go home and ‘move.’
So, I did. I joined a gym, and went swimming every day. And then, they closed the gym down…not once but three times. I had to do something, get some sun…MOVE. Not many places were open to move in.
My neighbor, who is recovering from cancer, agreed to go for walks. Every weekday we try to walk. And of course, you HAVE to talk while you walk, and my friend never asks me a question or has an opinion about anything unless it’s about dogs. Gail, (not her real name) was concerned about my rantings of politics and loss of freedoms,…yada, yada…and getting sick of it, so last week, she had this advice:
‘Turn it off. They are just trying to divide us. And besides, we’ll dead soon, so what does it matter?”
Yes, she voted for Biden, by mail because of Trump’s tweets.
WHAT DOES IT MATTER?!! What do you say to someone who really doesn’t care about anything but her own little corner of the block.
Still…I find her lack of foresight almost frightening.
She had just finished telling me how she had been told that this year, their yearly family had informed them that both she and her brother (they live together) were NOT invited to the family Thanksgiving dinner. Instead, everybody else, who by way, have children, were going to Florida for Thanksgiving, but they didn’t want either one of them coming along.
Gail was pretty pissed off about it.
Gail, never married and has no kids. Her sister’s kids are the only kids in her life and they evidently love her like a grandma. It seems most every year, Gail holds the Thanksgiving at her home and being as she is from a big family, it’s something she looks forward to every year.
I’m SURE she blames this year and her family cutting her out of the Thanksgiving family dinner on Trump, NOT her family.
She saw no connection with politics and her family situation.
“Well, do you realized that YOU cannot buy food unless you put on a mask to go to the grocery store?” I said to her.
She could care less. A mask? So what? She really doesn’t go anywhere. She’s BEEN everywhere in her life, so the couch is okay with her.
I brought up freedoms. “You know, they will come after our guns.”
She could care less. She had never had reason to use a gun.
By this time, I realized she had been gripped by the brainwashing media.
You see, Gail, only watches her local channels. She only uses her computer to get on ZOOM to talk to her relatives.
And THIS is what she is being told: Trump is destroying our democracy.
You see, Gail thinks we live in a democracy, the majority should win. ALL our politicians of both parties can’t stop saying the word ‘democracy’ enough. They want the “republic” to die. What all our founders warned us about. Democracies NEVER last. Democracy is mob rule.
And if I showed Gail this video would she be alarmed?
No…and that’s the problem. She really doesn’t care one bit. As long as she can live to eat another day, and go to her church. Which by the way, she has to volunteer an hour of her day to attend.
Gail doesn’t really care anymore about her country. She doesn’t think anything will effect HER life. And Nobody Thinks, Gail isn’t the only American who has given up on it all. She has been bombarded with propaganda and bad news so much, she has given up.
Leave her alone, go away. I want my lovely chair, and dinner please.
Yes, after cancer, we can all understand…but…
That’s why the few that have not given up has to fight for them, because as Jesus once said, “Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do.”
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
