People tell me that electing Bernie Sanders is just electing another old White man. OK, tell me the last time we elected a Jewish person as President? How about a person that presents themselves as Agnostic?
The world is waiting…because,
America doesn’t elect old White men, it elects White Anglo Saxon Protestants. We are not even progressive enough to elect any kind of old white man. We’re very specific. For an Irish Catholic to win, he had to be today’s equivalent of a Billionaire and his father had to use the Mob and the mayor of Chicago to rig the election to beat The WASP, Richard Milhouse Nixon, who nobody even liked let alone loved.
Then said rich Irish Catholic Billionaire gets publicly executed in a Coup that was meant to be witnessed, and he was replaced by the WASP that had previously run The Senate like it was his hide out.
So we after two disastrous terms of one of the dumbest rich kids ever to hold power including Senior Class President and the PTA, we elect a Black Man who infuriates the institution of White Supremacy that only elects WASPs because his biggest scandal is a tan suit and the scandals that are invented and have to be stuck on Hillary instead, because they won’t stick.
But Obama still came from the womb of a WASP, and was as much a WASP as he was anything else, and when he chose a church he chose Protestant.
It’s a big deal for America to elect a Jewish person or to even nominate one.
Historically you have two sort of Jewish men that have been nominated and both got beaten handsomely. Barry Goldwater was of a family that converted. John Kerry claims he didn’t know his Father was of Jewish heritage until into the Primaries which sounds like things politicians say.
Lieberman never had a chance.
I’m just a Lutheran, who unlike Luther has no anti-Semitism. Not towards a single Jew or an Arab. I’m good. I’m talking about History and how we talk out our arse as Americans and act like we aren’t still in the racial dark ages.
How about how nobody even wants to analyze the real history behind why not one of The Confederate statues are of a Republican and how MAGA is just the Zombified return attack of old Southern Democrats returning to spawn and feast on our brains at the command of their Carpetbagger New York WASPy Prince who threatens Dubya’s title as the dumbest mofo anyone has ever elected to even the title hall monitor.
Yes it is a very big deal that America might elect a Jew of any ethnic stereotype. And a human of any gender that is not pretending they bow before the might of what Bernie Sanders considers a made up desert God of his own ancient people.
But telling this to Americans is futile.
Let’s just stick with the basics. Like skin color and gender, and binary clash of Left and Right, black and white.
But in truth, it’s about whether a proper self education will train you to see all the shades of grey where truth and human history resides.
Party on America. Keep it simple. Let’s stay stupid. Because we’re up against a monolith that will do anything and unite with anyone, including what smells like Lucifer to get the judges in place to reverse Roe v Wade.
And the Left can’t even settle on the principle of simply nominating the best candidate regardless of gender and race, as if that’s not what Martin Luther King was also fighting for, and White Supremacy and the “Patriarchy” was not fighting against.
America is the least anti-semitic nation in the world which isn’t saying much, and England elected a Jewish man (who converted to their nationalized church) in 1880. And like Obama, as a member of a landless and underestimated class, he too had to be ten times more capable than the WASPs in his way.
Like Wallace and Sweet Home Alabama, Disraeli’s name echoes through the annals of Rock & Roll, as it decays in pop culture today.
The Cream album, Disraeli’s Gears is a reference to how well he ran England, better like Obama than those before him and after. But unlike Obama, England was able to pull him back in when they desperately needed his talent.
How Jewish was Benjamin Disraeli? His name was Israeli with a D in front of it.
His name was, “Da Jewish Dude”.
I know the very discussion of this may make some people uncomfortable. I get it. Discussing history without the benefit of simple prejudice is irksome. It’s like kind of weird. It’s weird that America elected Obama and England had Disraeli, but at least cream did occasionally rise to the WASPiness of the tippy top.
We act like we’re grown ups, but we’re the kid crying holding a sippy cup that still can’t use their words. History isn’t even just in books anymore. It’s on your phone. Almost all of it.
