A Quiet Death...Or Four Years Of Watching Republicans Eat Their Young?
Quiet is boring, don'tchathink?
What if killing your constituents is bad for your re-election?
Suppose you’d listened to MAGA Republicans before the midterm elections. In that case, you could be forgiven for swallowing the propaganda that America would see a “RED WAVE!!” unlike anything this country has ever witnessed before. Yes, Virginia, patriotic Americans were going to rise against the “Woke Left” and restore sanity to all levels of government!!
Good, God-fearing, White, Conservative, Christian heterosexuals were going to return America to what it should have been all along:
A Christian nation that worships the One True God, and ONLY that God- accept no imitations
A country that would no longer tolerate the “sin” and “abomination” of homosexuality
A country that would define marriage as between one man and one woman- period
A country that would no longer condone anti-Christian behavior by protecting LGBTQ “rights”
A country that protected the rights of those who were here in America first- White Conservative Christian heterosexuals
A country that recognizes no separation between Church and State- because the basis of the rule of law will be “Biblical law” (whatever that means)
A country that banishes Packers fans to wander in the wilderness, forever removed from the good graces of normal society
(OK, scratch the last one. I was reaching.)
And…well, guess what? It turns out that American voters weren’t at all on board with the idea of giving the OK to turn America into Gilead. This was especially true for women under 30, 72% of whom voted Democratic.
After the Supreme Court told them they could take Roe v. Wade and shove it, women decided they weren’t about to take that lying down. So they demonstrated what one wag referred to as “The Power of the Pissed-Off Woman.”
I couldn’t think of a better or more artful way to describe the phenomenon.
When four of the Supreme Court justices decided to let America know that they lied during their job interview and voted against stare decisis, they made it clear that their agenda had been to overturn Roe v. Wade. It wasn’t exactly a surprise; that was what Donald Trump had promised all along. But the fact that four justices had lied to the Senate and to America (and it was all on video) was astonishing.
(It’s OK, though; they’re Republicans, so it’s not like they have to worry about consequences. Lying is what they do; it’s like breathing.)
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’d relish a Trump-DeSatan cockfight (it would be a tiny one; they’d need close-ups). Two morons with thin skin and no tolerance for anyone standing up to them? I think the political combat will be as silly and stupid as it will be irrelevant and pointless.
The two most oversized egos in the GOP? Each claiming to have the biggest dick (metaphorically speaking), when in reality, we’ve seen pencils with erasers bigger than either one? I can hardly wait for the silliness and the stupidity to commence.
Idiocracy meets Presidential politics. Yes, America; we’re on the Highway to Hell.
The political combat, of course, will have nothing to do with politics or policy. Instead, it will be all about egos, testosterone, and who can convince Republicans theirs is the biggest. And by “theirs,” I mean “their lust for autocracy” and “their willingness to trample the Constitution once they’re in office.”
What did you think I was referring to? You’d need a magnifying glass for that.
It’s all racial to DeSatan, who designed Floriduh’s last redistricting map to disadvantage Black voters. It was rubber-stamped by Floriduh’s notoriously corrupt Supreme Court (most of them members of the Federalist Society and appointed by DeSatan).
DeSatan’s war against the “Woke Left” is all about race. It allows him to camouflage his efforts to pave the way for White Floridians while at the same time disadvantaging Blacks. But, because he couches it in the language of his war against the “Woke Left” (though he’s never defined what that means), it gives his actions a patina of respectability and credibility.
Who knows (or cares) what things will look like in early 2024? I have enough trouble keeping track of what’s happening two or three days hence, much less 18 months from now. So though any tete-a-tete between Orange Jesus and DeSatan may, on some level, be wildly entertaining, I have a hard time generating much enthusiasm at this point.
They’re just two autocrat-wannabes who must go through one another to get to the throne. Yawn….
With any luck, the Earth will cleave open and swallow them whole. That would be almost enough to make me believe in a benevolent God.
Maybe I’ll feel differently in a year or so. Perhaps not. But the politics of walking on the edge of destruction is beginning to weigh on me.
Maui. I need to go to Maui….
