Does He Have the looking Glass?

When you read Alice in Wonderland you are normally captivated by the wild imagery and characters as well as how the world Alice enters is so different than ours.

However as time has progressed and our world has developed a degree of absurdity the world of Alice starts to look all too real.

One big difference is that in our world, things actually have consequences and as we see the absurdity grow we need to remember that soldiers dies, the environment gets worse and people go without needed health care.

This is despite assurances that it will be "really good" or "hugely successful" when it isn't or that a bill that I'm sure he never read or understood is so much better than what we have.

Now its not like we didn't know his career of failures and fantasies, his multiple bankruptcies and failed marriages as well as disastrous  public statements over the years.

Now businessmen have failures but most also have a sense of reality and realize when they haven't done well.

A few have no sense of reality.

Its possible that much of this is simply performance art for the folks who want to confront authority and who eat up the sort of outlandish stuff that he says.

So instead of "off with her head" we got "lock her up", instead of "paint the roses red" we got "largest crowd ever", we of course are experiencing a lot of this.



We are going somewhere though.
