These elections seem to be sending the message that in all politics tribes and violence are inevitable. Power, is how much your tribe offers to you in exchange for what you offer and the capacity to inflict and survive violence.
Because we're also in the voting season it's important for me to remember that I should check out with my tribe and my army... In America they have militias. In Kenya we hear of gangs and illegal societies.
'The people', don't exist, but they are real. So it's easy to speak of the people and be deluding yourself. Government of the people by the people for the people is a fantasy. It's an over generalization.
So when alba and alma are voting for policy, and exhorting us to vote for policy, I choose not to partake of this mind numbing fantasy.
The most interesting twist, is that not all tribes are ethnic groups.
I see I'm at the battlefront of global politics; local politics. Witnessing power shift unfolding.

If you go to a Jubilee rally to shout cord slogans, then definitely you will be 'escorted' out of the rally, like that lady. Democrats should stop attending and disrupting Trump rallies. #TeamTrumpKenyaBranch. yes. I agree. What will happen to you if you go to a certain place with certain people with a certain message of a certain demagogue they believe in?

It still looks like a Trump vs Hillary ticket in November, but if Trump doesn't gain the required delegates number...the establishment might just "steal" from him. Trump will win Illinois even after all the protests. Rubio is out after loosing home, Kasich who won home and Cruz still hold on. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

I was telling that to my diaspora friend. Americans wanajua kujifanya sana. Now that Trump is removing the smoke screens they've been putting up, they're so upset. But truth is, Trump is a pure reflection of America's hidden negative tendencies: sarcastic, bombastic, racist, fat, braggart

Most "Americans" (whites) will not. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
