Nevertheless covfefe has captivated the hearts and minds of the nation and even abroad the anti-climatic vow to exit Paris climate accord given greenlight by President Trump is seen as continuation of this cusp of US without A albeit a sadder and regressive one. On the one hand Trump promises to ease on coal, on the other hand segregation is very much du jour in US campuses. Amidst this real life dread, neologisms and idiolects spruce up the daily lingo of media ferrets who nervously compete for the attention, the clicks and yikes of the maddening crowd. Social media is rife with abuse and people are more and more bewildered by the social constructs they used to see as reality. These vehement bubbles of effervescent and nascent fiction will eventually reach everyday people when at the grocery store all of a sudden people find out not to be able to purchase their everyday sustenance due to rising inflation.

Where to go next? Who to blame? We can opt out the DNC and Clitonite route of blaming them Russkies of rigging the reality against poor us old minority progressive liberal victims. This isn't simply working and you know it. Nor can we continue blaming the fake news because we rely on it so much. Nor climate change. Nor racism. Nor the negative press covfefe. Nor collusion.
I'm stuck in a moment and I can't get out it. Blame game ensues. Shifting the blame around is getting no nation anywhere. Politicians rarely admit mistakes. That's why most nations end up corrupt because everything is awesome when you're a part of the team.
Is there a deep end anyway? Not to mention a deep state. So far we can enjoy the bread and circuses. A covfefe here, another one there. See.
Another priceless 'covfefe' moment |
Covfefe is the perfect cover. It's your everyday confirmation bias. It can be anything you want it to be, whether is 5D-Chess, early symptoms of a stroke or a harmless yet embarrassing typo, it keeps on giving. It's a vehicle for understanding. It's the husk of a word, void of distinct meaning. And what is important, anyone can ponder upon it. No need for degrees, nor experts.
I would be lying if I said I was appalled to see the reaction to the newspeak expression that swept through the social media like a wildfire. So trivial. One more gaffe to the Trump et al résumé and that's it. All the hype, all the glory. The old MSM is living out the Trump turning which will eventually end someday in the not so distant future.
This summer will be tumultuous unfortunately. More covfefe moments as well. I'm waiting to see whether former FBI Comey is willing to commit perjury. Not that the apparatchiks even care. This will be a lingering embarrassment despite the good intentions.
