Why I’m Not Defending Representative Ilhan Omar Anymore

Teodrose Fikre gets another lesson from the school of political hard knocks. I began to see this coming a while back, as why I quit posting on this Ilhan Omar dog and pony show. It is also why I post so little on AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) also. These 2 women have managed to become a vast amount of the distraction from very serious issues going on around the world while also power spraying jet fuel onto the fire of divisional divide in our nation.

(Both Omar and Trump are doing their part to intentionally inflame passions only for corporate journalists and media personalities to take their cue and add fuel to the fire. The two parties, and the political establishment as a whole, are nothing more than factions cooperating in private and fighting in public. Seriously, how much longer are we going to keep falling for this bad cop vs worse cop routine? How much longer will we keep voting for the lesser of two evils only to end up getting equal mistreatment once the last votes are counted?)

(Politicians and media personalities use demographic driven tactics to incite tribalism; the same news being customized to cater to the preexisting views of people who put politics over justice.)

(The memory of 2,996 people who died on that horrific Tuesday morning, the imagery of the Twin Towers going down in flames and the trauma of seeing people jump off building are all being used as entertainment fodder and as means to capture ratings.)

Welcome to the Grand Illusion.

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
