Basically, the Democrats have decided to deconstruct the United States of America. So, they’ve imported forty million new people from the third world, declared the existing citizens as devils and proceeded to tear down any cultural or societal rules that formerly allowed us to recognize each other and get along.
Okay, the young people are now utterly lost and the old people are completely alienated; MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. How all this works out or doesn’t work out is the soap opera that we listen to on the “news” every day. Trump, Biden, Musk, Newsom, DeSantis, Abbott, Schumer and the rest of the cast. We’re supposed to be invested in all this and cheer and boo as if it were a movie. Well, I guess it is. But let’s be honest, our part in this melodrama is to put our money on Red or Black. We’re supposed to cheer our side and watch the spectacle.
But doing that every day is kinda boring. And that’s been my occupation (or hobby) since 2016. Well, I think even in this election year and with all the hoopla that they’ll be rolling out, it’s going to be a part time exercise. As I said the other day, I think there are way more interesting things to write about than Trump/Biden. Part of the problem is that my own learning curve has finally flattened out. I seem to have taken all the red pills that there are to take. I get it. I see the real world in all its horror. And I’d say that almost all my readers are at about the same place too. So, they don’t need the spiel anymore.
So, what I figure is, I’ll check the news. If there’s something noteworthy, I’ll write about it. If there’s not, I’ll do something else. Maybe I’ll review something fun or worthwhile. Maybe I’ll put up some of my fiction writing as I’ve been doing with the “Sniper” book. In fact, I have to put aside more time for the fiction writing. It’s going to take a lot more discipline than I currently muster to get this darn book done in a reasonable amount of time. But that’s what I’m gonna do.
Rereading the story has been a little bit of a revelation. I myself, actually wouldn’t mind reading a story like this. That gives me even more encouragement to get the thing finished off and edited and make the rounds. I’m gonna try it on Baen because they publish the kind of authors I like; people like Larry Correia.
Probably none of the lefty publishers would touch a book like this. They wouldn’t like the politics of my protagonist. They would feel like their friends resemble my villains. So eventually I might just have to self-publish it on Amazon which is a difficult situation. They have about a billion books so getting noticed is a do-or-die kinda thing. But I might as well get along with the whole thing.
So, I read the news today. Well, same old, same old. Trump, Biden. Nope.
