What Can Trigger America’s Renaissance?
From the 1989 film “Field of Dreams”:The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again.
– James Earl Jones, as Terence Mann
There is no doubt that America has been “erased and rebuilt” several times.
But what’s going to be required to repair the damage done by Trumpism and all its associated hate and ignorance?
“Field of Dreams” is a great movie, but it takes a real stretch of the imagination to believe that the key here is going to be baseball.
The rest of us need to stop giving the MAGA Trumpers any slack — and hit them where they live — in the pocket book.
Also — if you listen to them — it’s all about “economics”; and how they “feel they have either been miss-understood, picked on, whatever” — which they feel deprived them of “something”.
I come from conservative roots and used to strongly identify with what used to be true conservative positions — not the poor me crap of today.
