I was working on the outline for my book and I need to add about 50,000 words to the present length.\u00a0 Luckily, I have a \u201cwomen and children in danger\u201d scenario that hasn\u2019t even been started yet so there\u2019s 25,000 words right there.\u00a0 But the other thing I thought of has to do with the wrap up of the story.\u00a0 Our heroes have survived a direct nuclear attack by the crazed, cowardly POTUS and have retaliated by physically undermining the headquarters of all the centers of power in Washington (White House, Capitol, Pentagon and all the HQ buildings of the security agencies including their data storage infrastructure nationwide). Basically, everyone in those building fall hundreds of feet to their death underground.\u00a0 In addition, the good guys manage to tunnel under and hijack a bunch of ICBMs out of their silos thus preventing potential future retaliation.<\/p>\n
So, the wrap-up has to be a conference between our heroes (or their representatives) with the federal and state leaders about a modus vivendi that will prevent any more bloodshed and allow for more permanent arrangements to be negotiated.\u00a0 And the demand that the negotiators would make would be for all the rights that the Bill of Rights guaranteed them be restored without question or exception forever.\u00a0 Now that could easily chew up 30,000 words.<\/p>\n
While I was thinking about that, it got me thinking about reality.\u00a0 Like, what would be the best outcome of Trump decapitating the Deep State and neutering all of the agencies that make our lives miserable?\u00a0 Obviously, it would be for him to invite the Supreme Court to rule against all of the affirmative action and other unconstitutional mandates that strip away our rights and then use the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to shut down all of the agencies and departments that spend all their time making these regulations.<\/p>\n
Can you imagine if all the federal employees who monitor and threaten corporations to hire more girl bosses suddenly had no permission to do such things?\u00a0 And then extend that to all of the other protected classes.\u00a0 Imagine if a company could just hire who they wanted to based on nothing more than the fact that they considered someone the best choice?\u00a0 Why that would be revolutionary.\u00a0 And imagine if all the corporations could close down their HR departments and allow managers to hire their employees themselves?\u00a0 Think of all the unemployed blue-haired cat ladies!\u00a0 Think of the end of HR sponsored struggle sessions around gay pride week and rainbow flag decorations.\u00a0 No more new acronyms like LGBTQIA and BiPOC and DEI and no more seminars on toxic masculinity, white privilege and hate speech.\u00a0 And no more stupid slogans like \u201cdiversity is our strength.\u201d\u00a0 From now on everyone doing their damn jobs is our strength.<\/p>\n
And after thinking about that I was sitting there with this stupid smile on my face for like five minutes.\u00a0 And, of course, I knew it was just a ridiculous pipe dream.\u00a0 But what a beautiful dream it was.\u00a0 And really, it was completely within the bounds of what the Supreme Court could do.\u00a0 And it was completely within the authority of what the President could do to respond to just such a Supreme Court decision.<\/p>\n
It was completely logical and also completely impossible.\u00a0 But it was the most beautiful dream I\u2019ve had in a while.\u00a0 It reminded me of a dream I had a few months ago where I imagined Donald Trump winning the 2024 election with a mandate and a congressional majority behind him.\u00a0 It was dream like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
