The ancient Chinese symbol for ‘Crisis’, a binary pictogram, is as historian Lewis Mumford reminded, one that shows 2 clear themes, “danger” and “opportunity”.
Why I contend Arizona’s feckless Grand Old Party, is in serious danger of complete dissolution, if they blow this election….. based upon the real implication of what just happened in Europe.
As of today, modern America has had a gut-full of its ancient, ossified, and brain-dead zoo animals: the Pachyderm and the Jackass. The large numbers of registered independent voters confirm it. But for the hardened party regulars, what just happened ‘on the continent’ is the metaphysical equivalent of squirting Jet-A on your Sunday charcoal grill.
Lots and lots of instantly torched political themes of the last 25-30 years. As one wag put it, “Even the Euros are tired of being overrun by criminal aliens, financing the globalist war in Ukraine, insane taxes, and having the gay billionaire agenda rammed down their throats!” Piscean nuttiness gone global.
Here at home: If the boobs that have been running the AZ GOP the last 10+ years cannot deliver winning results THIS ELECTION…..that’s it, you’re GONE, your brand is as fatally scorched as Kari Lake’s knickers.
I’ve told you what’s happening for almost 5 years; told you UA was a sinking Titanic-equivalent in 8-9 past pieces, ditto all about the city of “We Can’t Do That, Arizona” (Tucson), and predicted months in advance Sinema would bolt the Dims & fade the ’24 election. So you’d better hear me now, AZ GOP, your very existence depends on this election.
And when I say ‘election’; you have to improve your razor-thin majorities in the Statehouse, and elect a GOP United States Senator. Time to start thinking and acting like a winning coach; Mr. Trump can take care of himself in the Grand Canyon State.
Otherwise if you fail, Arizona will shortly become New Mexico or California. Guaranteed.
