Dori: The mad men and women are winning right now

I’ve never seen the world like this before.

There is more anger everywhere — on the left and the right — than I can ever remember. And in all that there seems to be a common thread. I truly believe – truly – that it is all very calculated. That there are a lot of forces in government designed around stoking that anger.

In Seattle, for example, if you didn’t have people stoking the passions of City Councilmember Kshama Sawant and in the mayor’s office, they would have no reason to be. But the local politicians need the masses to be angry.

“You’re not making $15 an hour!”

“You’re not getting enough of that guy’s money!”

“We need a city income tax!”

We’ve got politicians who need that fury so they can galvanize that power. Certainly, the Trump revolution was designed to do the same thing. People are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

Look, I’m going to control what I can and will not be consumed by fury because we’ve got Sawant and Mike O’Brien on the City Council. And I pity people who are consumed by hatred because Donald Trump is President of the United States.

What we’re seeing is this fury feeding on itself.

In Portland, we’ve got a mayor who is using a clearly insane person as a political tool. Then there is Kathy Griffin who holds the head of a Donald Trump mannequin, completely covered in blood, ISIS style. She let her hatred consume her to the point of blowing up her career.

And then there is Olympia, where students at Evergreen State College basically took a member of the administration hostage, yelling obscenities in the face of the school principal and making demands. And the president caved.

What I see right now is frightening because the mad men and the mad women are winning.
