The Idiocracy Cometh.

Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.

Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

Attorney General: "So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops.

Joe: Yes.

Attorney General: Water. Like out the toilet?

Joe: Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.

Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Attorney General: It's got electrolytes.

Joe: Okay, look. The plants aren't growing, so I'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.

Secretary of Energy: Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet.

Secretary of State: Hey, that's good. You sure you ain't the smartest guy in the world?

Joe: Okay, look. You want to solve this problem. I want to get my pardon. So why don't we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?

Attorney General: Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Secretary of Energy: Yeah, it's got electrolytes.

Joe: What are electrolytes? Do you even know?

Secretary of State: It's what they use to make Brawndo.

Joe: Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo?

Secretary of Defense: 'Cause Brawndo's got electrolytes.

I saw this earlier.

No, this shit is not a concert, pro-wrestling match or a tractor pull. It's a "Christian" conference. One at which Missouri (Republican) Senator Josh Hawley...he of believing that the concept of individuality is a Christian heresy, and who apparently has a rather chaste-seeming relationship with his wife...is a featured speaker.

Yo, guys, if you want to have a conference on manliness that should be your first clue that you're doing it wrong. Off the top of my head I can think of a lot of people who'd be better...or maybe even just understandable...speakers.

Like somebody else said "How many of these dudes have Grindr profiles?"

As it is, I'm surprised one of the speakers wasn't named "Beef Supreme."

Of course, none of this foolishness is really about Christianity or the Lord's Word. 

It's really about a bunch of silly dudes trying to act out and cosplay "Manliness" and desperately trying to convince each other how "Not Gay" they all are...while reinforcing shitty political choices that I suspect a lot of these people know deep down have not a damn thing to do with Jesus Christ.

At the heart of a lot of this crap, is a deep insecurity, and a burning desire to try and force other people (preferably at gunpoint) to have to listen to their bullshit, or at least to appear as if they do. It's not about Jesus. It's all about pinheads needing to feel important. It's about a vast, yawning abyss of male insecurity.

The Idiocracy Cometh, and Elon is its herald. Why do I say that, you ask?

Because at the end of the day, money, political power and (imagined) social dominance still mean empty lives for a lot of these motherfuckers. Elon Musk could and should have a lot of things to be proud of in life and has a lot of serious, no shit accomplishments he could be bragging about over beers with the guys, or something.

Instead, he's pestering AOC on Twitter? Come on, dude, really?

And of course, these fuckers are apparently still upset about Trump being banned from Twitter. This is what they all seem to think Elon will magically fix when (thus far) he's shown no inclination to do so.

Essentially, these fucking assholes want to be transgressive assholes in public and face no consequences for it...and then make all the rest of us have to put up with their crap. 

Well, the world doesn't work that way and never has. How the fuck can you be a grown ass adult and not understand this shit?

As a political movement, these people are basically the Asshole Liberation Front. Yes, beliefs and behavior really can make you stupid. It doesn't matter how smart you technically are if you're so high on the smell of your own farts that you can't understand reality.

Trump lost the election, and these fuckers are still screaming "Build The Wall." What the fuck?

These fucking people don't even really want an autocracy...unless they all get to be king. 

They fail to understand only one guy gets to be king. And no matter who you are, it's not going to be you. Just plan on that.

What they want is basically "Rule by spoiled overgrown children." And somehow these idiots got it into their head that Trump would be some kind of "Strict father figure" and protect them from everybody else.

Trump can't even control himself and has never thrown a punch against anybody who could or would punch back in his life, so I don't know how the hell they got that idea.

And since that whole thing didn't work out, now they're gravitating towards Vladimir Putin, who's having statues of Vladimir Lenin reinstalled in Russia and occupied areas of Ukraine.

The Soviet Union is back, but can't actually win a war, and somehow both far-right nuts and far-left nuts seem to be drawn towards it anyway. And the mass amounts of immaturity in today's world allow the Russians to grab the horseshoe by both ends.

The Russians are encouraging the spread of complete idiocracy, I guess in the hope that they can somehow make the rest of us even dumber than they are. Given the conduct of their war in Ukraine, I doubt that's possible. If they can't defeat Ukraine, war with NATO in general and the USA in particular would go very, very badly for them.

I'm going to be honest, at this point I'm far less worried about the Russians than I am about the Aspiring Idiocrats, Bi-Curious homophobes, Fascist wannabes, Leftover Commie-sympathizers, Overgrown spoiled children and Political theorist ninnies on our own side...in the EU and UK as well as here in the USA...who would just fucking let the Russians in. 

And as regards the political types, I'm for the most part not talking about Democrats or liberals. The Putin-simps are overwhelmingly far-Right Republicans.

Which just pisses me off.

And I'm very, very tired of societal leaders with the mentality of twelve-year-old boys and those subsisting on diets of endless reheated LGBT-hate and all the wannabe anarchists who'd be just fine with society collapsing...so long as they made a profit or got to have their boot on someone's neck before they die.

Funny thing about these Asshole Liberation Front types, though.

The country they're all looking to for liberation is so fucked up they can't even be bothered to check and make sure they're propagandizing the right country. Or maybe they just don't care.

For us, the threat of the Idiocracy cometh.

The Stupid also rises.

But apparently, the Russians are already there.

And not only is that the future Republicans want...modern Republicans are positively entranced by it.

Reagan Wept.

We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev...Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
~Ronald Reagan
