United Under Trump.

There appears a deepening divide over the Trump presidency, but is there? People voted for him as a bringer of change and against him because they too wanted change but not in his direction. Underneath the divide is a huge common desire. But something as innocuous as a Face Book algorithm that delivers only what you want to hear has divided and reinforced opinions till the only colour is black and white. Dirt collar works want hope, blue want jobs and white don’t want to be the only ones paying for it. Only the gold collars are happy with the status quo, and by no means are they the majority. The acrimonious debate over Trump is a facile division. But other than Sanders and Corbyn’s rather downbeat pronouncements the change-wanters see no way forward. There is no solidifying shape of this mythical change that the majority want. And it’s no way a Trumpian vision or any vision derivable in Washington or Wall Street. It begins way outside those holey walls. It begins with decimalised voting where 10 vote for the best amongst them who go on to vote for the best of the next 10 and so on till the best of the best becomes the candidate with no allegiance other than to those who chose him or her. Then the unheard of policies. Speak only from the heart. Pay true service to the quality and equality of all lives. Taxation to reduce social divisions. Shorter working week. Revise the fundamentals of need. Limit advertising. Revise the fundamentals of education. Introduce an American NHS .And so on. Americans have lived in fear for at least three generations and Trump is the culmination, the line in the sand that selects reverse. God bless America. And its people will breath a sigh of relief strong enough to blow the dust off the moon.
