I haven’t kept up with my posting schedule because I caught a nasty sinus infection and have been supporting the tissue industry. I want to thank everyone who is working to elect Democrats in too many new substacks to name. When I began posting in 2008, there was no substack site and there were not so many writers taking on the Republicans. After Trump descended the golden escalator more voices have joined in. Astonishingly, all these passionate voices have not made a difference in the polls. As we know from 2016, polls can be wrong. Still, hopefully, the outcome of the election will end Trump’s pursuit of the presidency and send the extreme Republicans out of town until they moderate. Should we end up with a dictator with orange skin and fake blond hair we will survive to fight another day.
In the meantime, I will rest and watch the news and all of you while I shake this infection. Don’t forget to check out my archives on substack.com and Tremr.com, as well as my books.
My work is documented in this series of yearbooks that cover the years from 2010-2021. This work traces how we arrived at a moment I would never have imagined with an insurrectionist Trump squaring off against a leader with a true love of our Constitution and our democracy/republic - Joe Biden. These essays reflect philosophical thoughts in reaction to events as opposed to a record of historical events. The essays appeared in a blog called The Armchair Observer, a blog called Armchair blog, on a site called Tremr.com. N. L. Brisson, born in 1945, assistant professor at SUNY EOC, BA from SUNY Potsdam MEd from the University of Arizona at Tucson began writing in 2008 and blogging in 2010. N. L. sits in the cheap seats and did not intend to weigh in on politics but was driven by the racist rhetoric of the Republicans in the Obama years to tune in and write about what appeared to be an incipient coup to establish single-party rule.
These books are all available on Amazon for author N. L. Brisson (except that 2018 notes author as N. Brisson) (I'm attempting to fix this).
The following two books are a fictional representation of what America might be like if Trump becomes "president for life." They are social commentary rather than true dystopian science fiction, but since they are set in the future, they are science fiction, and they are predictive. (I tried not to be George R.R. Martin.)
