Yes we live in the Age of Mimicry. The mimics are everywhere and they are us. Watching the Tonight Show and Trump being mimicked every night. The absurdity of Trump is certainly observable and laughable and dangerous. Lets jump to talking points, the Far Right has talking points led by Trump on fake news, Hillary, Russian influence, on and on. But, know the Far Left has talking points like Medicare for all, free education for all, more bureaucracy, more government. Understand that talking points are used to influence and reinforce a certain point of view.
The bias of the media has a mimic ingredient. Social media and Russian influence based on likes, hashtags and memes was-is really only using our mimicry to spread divisiveness and cause us destroy ourselves. Depending on the news source; Fox(left)MSNBC(right) mimics reign supreme.The truth is mimicked as is the false. So whom are we to trust? Joseph Goebbels said "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself". The answer to all of this is to expose the lies and expose the truth and that is the job of a FREE PRESS. Is is up to the news media to find the truth and mimic the truth over and over until it is the TRUTH and thus achieve justice for us all.

Why? A Steve Mena Quote Says It All
"I've found that people who tend to understand our Constitution the least are the ones who claim to respect it the most.
When I say I stand for the rights of all people, as someone who honors and respects our Constitution, I stand for the rights of those with whom I disagree.
I might not like what someone says or does, but the fact that they have the right in this country to freely express themselves is what makes this country so incredibly amazing.

You can't say you respect our Constitution, or our country, while
telling those with whom you might disagree that you don't feel they
should have the right to express themselves peacefully.
You don't have to agree with it -- and that's the point. If a "right" is only defined as something that's agreed upon by the majority, then that ceases to be true freedom.
When you say you respect the flag, then that means you also have to respect the rights of those who kneel during the National Anthem.
You don't have to agree with what they're doing, but you can't have it both ways. You can't say they should stand and respect a flag that represents freedom for all, while telling some that the right granted to them by our Constitution, in a country represented by that flag, is something you don't feel they should have."

Why? The Great Man Theory is Alive and SICK
From Wikipedia "The great man theory is a 19th-century idea according to which history can be largely explained by the impact of great men, or heroes; highly influential individuals who, due to either their personal charisma, intelligence, wisdom, or political skill used their power in a way that had a decisive historical impact. The theory was popularized in the 1840s by Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle. But in 1860 Herbert Spencer formulated a counter-argument that has remained influential throughout the 20th century to the present: Spencer said that such great men are the products of their societies, and that their actions would be impossible without the social conditions built before their lifetimes"
It is evident that Donal Trump believes in and is operating under the Great Man Theory. He is like a king surrounding himself with worshipers and says(tweets) what ever he wants whenever he wants. In truth he totally lacks greatness and most often represents littleness.
