The New Wave

The New Wave: Post No. 1 by F.T. Rea

For lack of another name, I'm going to say the working title style name for the political movement I'm envisioning the need for is the New Wave. Eventually, someone will probably think of a better name. 

In the meantime, paying an oblique tribute to what was a genuinely cool era in French cinema history works for me. And, in America's trashy culture with cruelty thick in the air we breathe, couldn't we use a new wave? A fresh approach?  
 
Moreover, doesn't it also seem rather unlikely that the solutions for this nation's most vexing political problems are now incubating within the ranks of either of the USA's major political parties?

So, to start with, I'm saying that any new party, organization, or movement, would surely be better off traveling without having to lug around any of the tired two-party system's heavy baggage. After all, the MAGA Party's predecessor, the establishment Republican Party, hasn't had a fresh idea in decades. At the same time, the Democrats frequently have a hard time getting out of their own way.

However, Democratic Party candidates should absolutely still get our votes, since they are nowhere near as dangerous as the wretched MAGA Party. Which means there should be room under the New Wave's big tent for anybody who is anti-Trump. Anybody!

Furthermore, New Wavers should recognize that both searching for the truth and telling the truth are essential. In today's murky political milieu the plain truth stands out. Therefore, New Wavers should consistently strive mightily to believe in whatever reality they perceive before them with their own senses. 

Moreover, one of the particularly awful things the MAGA Movement (previously known as the Republican Party) has done recently is to cook up lots of bullshit propaganda designed to make ordinary good citizens stop believing in what their own eyes and ears tell them.  

Thus, when everyone knows the prices in grocery stores coast-to-coast have been steadily going up, Trump scowls into camera lens and coughs up another greasy batch of lies: The wannabe king declares that prices are actually going down. Claims people are telling him, "Sir, food prices are dropping like never before! Like no other time in grocery store history."

With regard to how its messaging, and communications should proceed, the New Wave needs to be nimble and savvy. Consequently, here's the New Wave's first message: We welcome all who are ready to hop on the anti-Trump bandwagon. All.  

Post No. 2 is coming soon. Stay tuned...
