PSYCHOLOGY BUSKING a la wordswords: DAN PATRICK: THE TEXAS DOOFUS WHO IS WILLING TO DIE FOR THE DOW AND THE DRUMPF

TEXAS DOOFUS

I was going to write about my alterity as a busker, a real busker, because being a real busker brings lots of adventure. I was going to write about my adventures busking abroad, and scribe a bit about some busking adventures that have unrolled in my home city, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I was also going to note that alterity is not to be confused with alter ego. Not that the difference in definition makes any difference to many (or any) of my readers, for it is sort of similar to the academic difference between self-concept (how you see yourself) and self-esteem (how you feel about yourself). To psychology and philosophy and phenomenology die-hards (pun intended), the difference between alterity and alter ego is significant. Alterity is the adoption of otherness, a different persona altogether; whereas, alter ego is adopting the nature of someone whose differences are unrecognizable. In the extreme, both conditions could certainly be dissociative identity disorders.

But I digress. I was going to write about all of this or some of this but now I’m not. My mind is too filled with the political doofus from Texas.

TUCKER AND THE DOOFUS ON THE EVER BLURRY FOX NEWS

Just the other day, 70-year-old TEXAS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, DAN PATRICK, told Tucker Carlson on FOX NEWS that “No one reached out to me and said ‘as a senior citizen are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?’ And if that’s the exchange, I’m all in.”

His words were in reference to the medico suggestions that all Americans should be prepared to isolate themselves to prevent a Corona-virus pandemic. Not in agreement with the medical guidelines, but rather in agreement with the sociopath Donald Trump gutlines, Dan also stated that there were lots of grandparents in the country who think this way, that there was certainly no need to sacrifice the American economy because seniors, especially, can take care of themselves.

In summary,
Dan Patrick believes that the economic well-being of the United States of America is more important than the lives of older people!

Not surprisingly, this is the same Dan Patrick, who in 2017, pushed for the vomitous and shameless “BATHROOM BILL,” a measure that would have restricted transgender Texans from using public facilities. Reassuring a faith in humanity and comforting to everyone, Dan’s BATHROOM BILL did not pass into law.

Most certainly, Dan Patrick could have been candidate for a Darwinian Award, an award designed to recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or self-designed sterilization. I would certainly not object to Dan sacrificing himself by subjecting himself to Corona-virus injections and allowing several other experimental vaccines, too, to be injected into his wrinkled body, but alas it’s too late. Darwinian Dan has six grandchildren, and therefore has already procreated to continue our species. Hmmm … keeping my fingers crossed for his offspring.

There! I’ve vented my REPUGNANCE of REPUBLICAN, DAN PATRICK. (Is my message subliminal enough?) My blog is entitled PSYCHOLOGY BUSKING A LA WORDSWORDS for a reason. Better that I had a pen and not a sword in my hand, for had I a sword and not just a word sword, my warrior alterity might have smitten him.

Marching in my CHAUCERIAN PARADE this week is NOT that DRUMPF SYCOPHANT (DRUMPF is the original German surname for the Trump family), and NOT that DOOFUS who is willing to DIE for the DOW (the DOW is the economic index that tracks the New York Stock Exchange).

Deservedly marching in my CHAUCERIAN PARADE are some sensible and compassionate people with whom I was fortunate to have shared some magical musical moments.
