Awake late.

I did get to bed by 20:00, just about exactly.  But I was so cold!  I used the electric blanket, but it didn't matter.  Nothing seemed to help.  Now, feeling my feet and legs?  They didn't feel cold to the touch, but felt as if they were freezing.  That sort of kept me from sleeping well, last night.  Just couldn't sleep well, or for long.  I turned the electric blanket up.  Didn't matter.  No difference.  Ugh.

Oh, and I dreamed I was shot, last night.  It... wasn't my dream, nightmare.  I know, pretty sure, whose it was.  Surprised.  "I" knew they were rat bastards, wanted to win, would do almost anything.  But this?  This... took me aback.  Then, again?  It wasn't by accident.

He thought they were frienemies, or allies with a different view.  He didn't realize just how serious it was, for them.  I'm not sure if the attempts broke him, or if they made him more determined.  What I do know, is he thinks the 70s are revisitable.  That we can return to "better days".  What he doesn't seem to realize is, even then, even Jimmy Carter?  The dems had become full on Jim Jones, or Charlie Manson types.  There was no being friends.  He thought he was a dim.  He didn't realize he was just another target, but would be used for every bit of his energy, money, infrastructure, they could use.  For their ends.

Hell, the dim party has been a hazard to the nation since at least FDR.  Though, really, since Jefferson Davis.  Once they lost their bid to keep slaves and be in the union, then their attempt to overthrow the union, they... became and entrenched enemy of the US.  And still seek to destroy her.  Republicans were always friendly go lucky blunts, after the war.  And... pretty much just let them do... whatever.

Funny thing?  Dems are still using blacks and other minorities to do their bidding.  Even if it destroys them too, they'll seek their revenge through their former, and hoped for future(?), slaves.  Don't look at me funny, look at who is voting for whom.  Funny?  In a... not so funny way.

But, as with most rich elite "republicans", he thinks it can all be made good, and we can all just get along.  Does he still not get it?  I don't think he does.  He just thinks he needs to be nicer, or firmer, he doesn't realize they consider him as much an enemy as Germans believed Jews were.  There isn't a negotiating platform.  He'll be in a box, thrown into a hole, before he'll understand.

But... really?  He is a dim.  Just not a more modern one.  Dims have no use for dinosaurs in their ranks.  He is more liberal than the Kennedys were.  If not as liberal as FDR?  Some such.  Certainly not a Regan, if Reagan was more elite than conservative?  Meh.

Still, I dreamed that.  And some of the feelings, fears, thoughts.  He still thinks, I think, that he can work with them.  Or... at least is teetering on that notion.  I wonder if he realizes our greatest ME ally was aware, and probably in agreement with the... arrangements.  Probably no assets involved, but certainly talking heads were informed, and concurred.  Meh.

Or... so my dreams seemed to indicate.

Cold?  I am.  Him?  More so.  I hope he figures it out before he is in a box, then hole though.  Choose friends well.  Keep friends close, if enemies you can't be rid of closer.  Have people living their lives vicariously, watch closely.  I am not really a friend, I'm just not a mortal enemy.  He may have some value, to America, that is all I care about.  But, most likely, America has to fall fully before recovery is possible.  He may hinder that?  Or... maybe there is hope yet.  Dunno, thinking, calculus'ing, such.  Will find out... if he can live to do things, assuming Brendon doesn't fire off a nuclear exchange before he can take office.  Bleh.

Later.
