Is this really what we want?
I remember when the words, ‘My Fellow Americans’ meant something. Now? Chopped liver has more meaning.
That opinion has only congealed, solidified, stiffened, hardened, crystalized, petrified, and fossilized into a tectonic geological formation in the interim. After having ‘not voted’ for Trump again in 2020-I didn’t actually ‘vote’ for the alternatives, I voted ‘against’ Trump-I gave up on the electoral process entirely in 2024. I did the modern day equivalent of voting for Alfred E. Neuman.
What, me govern?
The president is just a sock puppet to the ruling elites, anyway. Alfred would surely get a Nobel prize in pandering.
Since then, I have been critical of the Democratic party and only mildly satirical of the Republicans. I believe in the maxim, ‘Constituent, Heal thyself.’
Actually, I no longer care about parties. I am more concerned with citizens and the massive belligerence we have adopted as a safe and satisfying alternative to political discourse and debate.
And mutual respect? Pfffft!
After all, we can no longer make a difference, anyway. Might as well just bitch about it and trash everybody who doesn’t agree with us and stop pretending we have any integrity left at all, right? Mindfuck each other at every chance, yes? We are all children on the playground where everyone is a bully.
Friendship died: First as folly, then as fury.
Not because I changed my views, mind you. But on the principal that we should make it our first and foremost drive to ensure that our liberal disciple, to which I have adhered since I became culturally and politically aware in my teenage years, is advancing the best and brightest candidate against Trump instead of one who is massively corrupt, senile, or a buffoon.
Silly me.
Specious arguments, petty school yard taunting, snarky memes, and outright insults may be fun on the playground. Until someone puts an eye out, that is. Then they're hilarious!
Too much? C’mon! Admit it! When you come up with a petty, perky, pernicious poke-in-the-eye of someone you don’t like, you get a thrill right? Don’t you? A tingling, sensual snort through the cavity of your whole being, all the way down to your anus!
It’s fun, right? It’s visceral! Enjoy it to the fullest!
President Obama deported almost three million illegal aliens during his two terms in office. You see, that’s what the term ‘illegal’ means and that’s what ‘bureaucrats’ do. Blah, blah. Bleat, bleat.
Yawn.
Someone made a meme of ICE deporting Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on Christmas Eve!
STP! (Stop The Presses!) What monsters! Trump bad!
It’s just another visceral response.
Just another tickle of the anus.
Enjoy it while you can!
Our overlords love it when we quarrel.
