Donald Trump: A Deconstruction of the Devil who may be replaced by Satan in the morning

We were taught in Physics 101 that for every action there is a corresponding and equal reaction. After the first Black President, who didn't know there would be a white backlash? President Obama's election and two-term tenure in the White House rattled the loins of dye-hard white supremacists who inhabit their perpetual world of make believe. James Baldwin called it an airless room. Is this why George Floyd cried out he couldn't breathe. no matter the pig boot on his neck. We all endure that boot in a myriad ways as we go about our daily round. Don't we suffer weekly variations on the theme of breathing, yes, the last breath? But the reaction to Obama was so much deeper than the perennial police violence. Whites may know nothing else except they are white and have a strong sense that their world of white power is coming to an end. No one likes losing power with all the perks and privileges derived from such power.
So the natural reaction to President Obama was a need to recapture the rapidly disappearing sense of white power in the white mind set.
For sure, there was no altering of white economic domination. There was no transference of money via reparations or any other method. Talk of reparations has evolved into a more serious conversation as a result of President Trump's reassertion of white power. Can't you sense that some of the most asinine pronouncements uttered from the mouth of President Trump are from a region of the mind no sane person would harbor, not in 2020. Yes, we hear exactly what we thought we heard and are utterly astounded that a white man, alas, the President of the United States of America, would have the gull to utter such. You may as I do, suspect a demon spirit in operating here, a communal spirit in the rapidly vanishing tribe of white supremacists who are determined to live in their fantasy land of white mythology.
It is astonishing to see President Trump's reaction to the 1619 Project and his concomitant order to cease all educational projects to address the pervasive issues of systemic and structural racism throughout the American cultural fabric, yes, in every nook and cranny.
But all societies persist in their myths often only to maintain their false sense of reality.

As we began with the law of physics and the white reaction to Obama in the White House, we can conclude with knowledge that current events may be the natural balancing act to the toxic virus of white supremacy, a thousand times more toxic than Covid19. Wasn't there a resent study on the cost of maintaining racism and discrimination that amounted to trillions of dollars? As we may soon learn if we are to endure Trump 2.0 or Biden 1.0, we should know that we can configure a better myth for ourselves than the Myth of Sisyphus, who was doomed to carry that rock up the mountain only to have it knocked out of his hands thus forced to descend only to begin anew. No matter if tomorrow we learn we no longer have satan, but the devil, clearly we have not and shall not have recovered our mental equilibrium and cultural advancement. Until we have devised a plan that transcends the sick American political quagmire, and this plan must be for the next fifty to two hundred years, we shall indeed continue the insanity of Sisyphus going up and down the mountain thinking he will one day arrive at the top. Sad and tragic is the reality that if and when he reaches the top, the glass ceiling awaits him, thus, in his despair he shall then throw himself headlong over the precipice into the chasm of nothingness and dread, having never achieved the dreams of his ancestors due to his grand denial and refusal to plan and follow his own agenda. Alas, if you don't have an agenda, someone has one for you!
