Neil deGrasse Tyson's repeated warnings that our nation is turning into an idiocracy has come to pass with Trump's accession to The White House for a second attempt to destroy our republic.
To be perfectly clear, an ideocracy is a form of government or social system where abstract ideas or ideologies, rather than practical considerations or evidence, are the primary guiding principles. It's essentially a society where beliefs and doctrines dictate laws, policies, and social norms.
In essence, an ideocracy is a society where the power and authority of an ideology or set of beliefs are paramount, influencing all aspects of life and potentially leading to a rigid and often authoritarian social structure.
Sound familiar?
If you're living in America today, you're learning all about ideocracy. Depending on how old you are you may have seen the cult classic Idiocracy when it came out in September of 2006, giving you a heads up on the younger generation. It was a social parody that never got a wide screening because 20th Century Fox was uneasy with it.
Who knew it would someday come down from the screen one day and become our reality?
Here's what passes as presential in these dark days:
Then he publicly denied posting a picture of himself on his Truth Social account dressed up as the Pope and knew nothing about the photo's mysterious appearance on the internet.
* After watching an old movie about Alcatraz in his Mar-a-Lago lair Trump was inspired to restore the infamous prison to its former state and enlarge it. Why? No one really knows. Apparently, Trump is turned on by all the suffering and the fact Al Copone was held there thrilled him. "The great Al Copone, they called him," he recently told a gaggle of MAGA media reporters.
* New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Trump in the Oval Office and bluntly told him Canada "is not for sale," despite Trump's assertions that it should become the 51st state. What was Trump's idiotic reply? "Time will tell. It's only time. But I say never say never."
* Asked if he has to "uphold the Constitiution" Trump told NBC News, "I don't know."
The nation has been on a slippery slope since Trump slithered into our politics promoting hate, lies, and misinformation. He has cultivated a cult of idiocracy that is rapidly turning into a deadly autocracy.
In less than four months Trump has managed to sow chaos throughout the country by ignoring the Constitution and dismantling government agencies that Americans desperately need.
The idiots in this country decided they wanted one of their own in power. Trump has liberated their conspircies and promised them paths to power though him. And he's working hard to fulfil that future shock every day.
As it Stands, it's up to sane Americans now to flip this script and run these idiots out of our besieged government before the damage is permanent. We must keep pressure on them by exposing lies and fighting back against their assault on the rule of law in the courts. Democrats - at the very least - must take the House in the midterms. A blue Senate would be a bonus for the republic. Anything is possible when you stand up to idiots.
