Little Donny smacks Rob, his older brother (by four years in April) right in the arm! Rob knows that Donny is doing this to get a rise out of ‘em, so he just ignores the attack. Donny then delivers another blow with twice the intensity. This hurt a bit but the elder sibling still pretends nothing happened.

After no response from Rob, he picks up a plastic baseball bat, cocks back like Hank Aaron, and WHAM! That’s it! Rob caught it on his right cheek and man, did it sting! Now he is seeing red, and decides this has got to stop! Rob makes a fist with a slightly protruding middle-finger-knuckle as he surgically aims it at Donny’s left shoulder just about where his Covid shot was administered about a week ago, and at only a tenth of his strength, he strikes!

Donny starts wailing at the top of his lungs, “He hit me! Mom, he hit me! Rob hurt me! Waaaaaaaa, waaaaaaaa! Mom rushes to her baby’s rescue grabbing the wailing six-year-old in a deep embrace, patting Donny’s back while sending visual darts toward her delinquent son. ‘Rob, you can forget about that camping trip, and you are grounded for the next Month!’

This is a perfect example of how things have played out in Congress. Blue party says, ‘For the good of the people, we need these changes. The red party lets that happen. Next, the blue party narrows the defining term people to about 5% of the people. The red party again acquiesces.

Now the blue party changes ‘good of 5% of the people’ to ‘there can be no good until we tear down and completely rebuild the country’s infrastructure from the ground up.’

Now, this was the red party’s ‘baseball bat in the cheek’ moment. This not only raised the ire of politicians but caused a historic coalescence of 95% of the red party voters. This showed beginning with the election of a non-politician (as an admonishment to the red D.C. crowd for not stopping this earlier), and the with rock star crowds at rallies when this un-president spoke!

The admiration for his truly-conservative compass and the obvious gains for everyone, not just the 5% bubbled over in phenomenons new to politics. Presidential merch bought and worn way after the election, and even the birth of ‘boat-parades’!

But at the moment of the stinging blow from the baseball bat by blue party leaders, the red party supporters (which were arguably at least 71,000,000 strong) had had enough. And just as Rob caught the brunt of what Donny cultivated, so have the red party supporters been blamed for the very crimes against our country that the blue party instigated!

If you are not sure about that ask yourself if you had no ‘iron in the fire’ which actions would be closer to an insurrection?

A. The dismantling of our current system of government and replacing it with one currently unconstitutional?

B. Marching on Washington D.C. to make their voices heard and after a handful breeched the Capitol building acting like a college football crowd following a victory, then a much larger group was invited into the government building. Still, just a handful became violent as videos clearly show resulting in only one casualty, ironically the one person actively trying to stop the destruction as seen in video evidence was gunned down by an over-zealous policeman.

Granted damage occurred, but we have never equated unruly behavior as a threat to insurrect. If that were true, why did we not hear that term during rallies turned riotous by clearly way more than a handful resulting in Billions of dollars of damage, loss of life (police, a friend of a store owner trying to save the business, and demonstrators), the burning of countless vehicles, the total destruction of many stores and restaurants, both ‘Mom and pop’ and chain, and destruction of government buildings and property?

Certainly, the lens of Congress is tinted dark blue! Let’s hope Dad comes home and listens to Rob’s story. Otherwise, he, we will again be getting the ‘short end of the stick’. And this ‘older brother’ has just about had enough. We will see, in the midterm results at the end of the year.

‘nuff said by me.
