There is a borderless community that is growing by leaps and bounds. Across the United States millions of people are surging into political sub-divisions in locales called Q-Anon, Oath Keepers, Storm Front, American Renaissance, National Socialist Order and many, many others. These communities are largely segregated and occupied by a self-identified elite. The streets of these communities were paved with White supremacy centuries ago. Builders include national political leaders, aggrieved citizens, wealthy (beyond rich) folks and Hershel Walker (who was invited as a garden ornament).
Crazy Town is appropriately named. There are many residents who have little understanding of the depths to which their neighbors will descend to Make America Great Again. By rewriting and retelling knowable history through distorted lenses, the architects of Crazy Town turn victims into predators.
Although farcical, the lessons of the Nazi Regime are proven to work. Big lies, repeated with energy and conviction can overwhelm truth and logic. What follows below are a sample of the beliefs of Crazy Town leaders (people believe this stuff):
* John Kennedy Jr. will rise from the dead and join Donald Trump’s campaign as the Vice-Presidential candidate in 2024
* Black and brown people are part of a Great Replacement effort to drive Whites into permanent subservience within the United States.
* Hillary Clinton and other “liberal” Democrats are secretly grooming children to be sex slaves in the basements of pizza parlors.
* Adolph Hitler was a great leader who recognized the treachery of the Jewish race.
* The January 6 storming of the U. S. Capital Building was no more than tourists exercising their right to walk the halls of the “People’s House”
Residents of Crazy Town walk among us, sometimes masking their beliefs. Often, in a sudden and explosive manner, Crazy Town residents announce their presence by
* Entering the Tree of Life Synagogue to slaughter Jewish worshippers
* Marching boldly through the streets of Charlottesville, VA with torches to proclaim White supremacy
* Storming a Buffalo, NY supermarket to kill African Americans because of a belief in Replacement Theory
* Claiming Donald Trump won the election for president
* Supporting democracy by making access to voting more difficult
* Enslaving Africans improved their lives and the Africans appreciated being removed from their homeland.
* Waiting for Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy Jr. to rise from the dead (really!)
These beliefs are CRAZY! I acknowledge my prejudice. If you believe the Q-Anon beliefs above, I doubt your sanity.
Reader, please understand there are examples of shallow and incomprehensible logic outside of Crazy Town communities. The desire of reallocate available funding to enhance law enforcement effectiveness make great sense; the phrase Defund the Police throws red meat in the lion’s den of resistance. Woke as a definer of sensitivity and awareness of human difference is bomb; woke as a tool to hammer Dave Chappelle and Condoleezza Rice makes no sense. Great work must be done to bridge the national divide. I will write more about this in the future.
But, the growth of borderless Crazy Towns, founded on featherbeds of windblown nonsense, defies science and logic. Crazy is as crazy does and Crazy Town is right around the corner from you right now!
