Now, I'm registered as an Independent (Unaffiliated) so I get to be disgusted by both democrats and republicans on a regular basis without feeling a bit of disloyalty or guilt about it.
Just lately I've seen that somebody thinks some people should oughta have their own political party, just for them.
I've also seen recently that somebody else thinks that some other folks should oughta have their own political party.
We've already got a whole bunch of political parties, so what are a few more, right?
It's still going to come down to having to choose between democrat and republican, for the most part, right? The others are basically just support groups for different 'causes'.
Right?
Maybe.
But maybe not.
Which 'demographic' in 2016 managed to throw their collective weight behind a candidate to win an election against all the odds?
Hmmm?
It surely wasn't the democrats who scoffed and ridiculed.
It wasn't the republicans who fought until they could fight no more.
It wasn't any of the other 'organized' parties, either.
It was the Deplorables.
Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States of America. She may have, however, bequeathed to our nation a legacy that we might just embrace, whether she likes it or not.
She may have thought she was 'attacking' the republican party by spewing out a label, but that doesn't hold a lot of water because the republican party was as opposed to the candidate chosen by the Deplorables as she was. It didn't exactly agree, but at least it had the common sense to listen when the Deplorables refused to back down. The republicans did not choose Donald Trump. The Deplorables did. It just so happened that he was, at the time, going through republican channels.
So.
Who might have to once again step up to the plate to get our nation out of the morass of trouble we've found ourselves in?
Not the democrats, not the republicans, not any of the 'organized' political parties (which in a bizarre way really do remind me of all the various 'organized religions' of our time).
For a time, recently, I thought about the concept of requesting a third political party - the Independent Party. Then it dawned on me that people are abandoning both left and right and an Independent Party would likely end up a battlefield for all of those disillusioned folk from both sides. NOT my idea of a good time, and NOT my idea of any kind of a winning combination, nope.
Then I realized that the 'party' I'm wishing for already exists. Neither the left nor the right would be remotely interested in it, so we're free and clear on that front; none of the 'fringe' groups want to be associated with it, so we're free and clear of them too.
See, the Deplorables wouldn't have to fight the republicans to get their candidate on the ballot. The republicans would have their own. The same goes for the democrats and everyone else.
Heh.
It's not like the Deplorables of the United States of America have anything to prove, right? They've already proven they can unite, they can vote, and they can win.
Because the colors red and blue are already taken I hereby claim WHITE as the color of the Deplorable Party. It's a whole lot more appropriate than you're thinking. White is produced only when all of the colors of the light spectrum are present. So don't start with the 'race card' because that bit of hate ain't gonna fly.
Red represents the Republicans.
Blue represents the Democrats.
What does White (the color you get when you combine all of the colors of the spectrum) represent?
Why White represents the Deplorables, of course.
We truly are the combination of every aspect of the spectrum you can imagine. We absorb into ourselves (so long as nobody hurts anybody else) what the others damn in each other.
We are the Stars on our Flag, all equal in status and all equally distributed among the Blue.
We are the White that Balances the Red.
We are a part of the Flag of the United States of America, along with the Justice of Blue and the Mercy of Red; ours is the color the others work toward achieving, for we are the color of Peace.
God Bless Us Every One.
