Last night, Trump got booed at the World Series game.
People chanted "Lock him up!" and "Impeach Trump!"
Oh, hey, Mr. President, these are The People, you know, the Forgotten Man you've been using to cover your shitty bullshit ass racism and bad behavior since you decided to run for President.
But this ain't one of your rallies where they screen everybody who comes through the door and security escorts out any dissenting voices that slip through.
Hey asshole. People be tired of your shit.
But then, predictably, today...media figures and politicians...even some Democrats...are coming out to defend Trump. Chris Coons and Nate Silver kind of surprised me. Morning Joe really didn't.
Take particular note of Joe Scarborough, Morning Joe, who both he and his wife have been insulted and lied about by Trump directly. Note the wording of the Tweet.
When a Republican...and Joe is a Republican, former Florida District 1 Representative in fact, another generation's Matt Gaetz (and this should show you how far Republicans have fallen in 20 years) pulls the "Hey, hey, we're all Americans, right?" card, you know that they know they're fucked. Ya know, though, when Joe was in office he pushed the same shitty agenda under Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert.
You know, those upstanding paragons of Republican family values from the 1990's.
I'm glad he saw the light, just like I'm glad there are Never Trump Republicans in a general sense, but the Republican agenda has always been shit. They've just been lucky that until now they at least managed to pick leaders who either didn't subscribe to the same shitty agenda, or could at least hide it better than Trump does.
Republicans see the writing on the wall, the chickens coming home to roost, they see that they're starting to reap the whirlwind of having angry, shitty, grievance-based militancy throughout the electorate for 50 years...because now Democrats and 'moderates' are starting to give it right back to them. And they're terrified, because as it turns out, Trump has blown their 50 year head start and damned near two thirds of the country hates him.
And yes, oh yes, they know the Republican agenda is unpopular.
You don't think Mitch McConnell is really trying to pack the judiciary to promote morality, do you?
Republicans see that hate coming for them, too. They know it already did last November. They know that wasn't the end. They see it every day in the Impeachment Inquiry against their god...and don't think that's not what Trump is at this point...maybe not to Congressional Republicans, only about a third of whom are "True Believers." But the rest, like any shitty, dishonest priesthood, are trying to find a way to turn the cult to their advantage, to find somebody else they can accuse of heresy so that they can live to bow and scrape and steal treasures and rich foods from the Imperial Palace another day.
But whatever spell they had cast over the wider electorate is gone. No matter how many times one of these assholes shouts "PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!" It's too late. Whether anybody wants to come out and articulate it as such or not, Republicanism has been exposed as a fraud.
And like the Imperial Chinese Eunuchs condemned to wear their own amputated dicks in jars of formaldehyde as the empire crumbled around them...they know, and dread, the prospect of firefights between Communists and Nationalists in the streets and the foreign forces drawn in to try and take advantage. (Which in our modern case includes the Chinese, thus adding an element of irony to my example.) They know The People are discontented...
And they have no idea what to do.
So they try and bullshit their way out of it.
And people are laughing at them for trying. And the fear they've sown for decades rebounds on them.
Hey, hey, calm down now. We're all Americans, right?
That's funny asshole.
Turns out, once you gin up the mob enough, it starts deciding who gets to be considered a Republican and who doesn't, and what the actual Republican in question has to say about it doesn't matter.
These people and their never-ending throwing of John McCain and his family under the bus pisses me off. I used to be a Republican, remember?
As a small business owner for much of the later 1990's I always figured I'd benefit from this mess eventually. That I never did, well, I woke up faster than Morning Joe did, and more honestly too, I'd hope.
Because I actually switched sides.
I hate these people for what they've made of my former political philosophy. I seriously was not taught like this.
Yes, I hate These Fucking People.
Their anti-Semitism and hate and racism all pisses me off. The fact that Republicans in general...and "Conservatives" in particular used this fucking bullshit to stay in power far longer than they should have to the point where it now threatens the survival of our country pisses me off.
Sooner or later, refusal to change results in stagnation and death.
Faced with "Change or die" Republicans have chosen death...and there are already those among them who are looking around to see who they can take down with them when they go.
And they have no loyalty to anyone or anything...except Trump.
You created this mess, Republicans.
I'm fine with Democrats and others throwing Republicans own shit right back in their faces, don't get me wrong.
But the rest of us need to be careful that this isn't where we end up in another 50 years. Hell, as of today I've observed that Republicans are not the only ones advocating shooting down their neighbors. Plenty of supposed Democrats and Liberals are doing it too.
That's not cool.
Let their chickens come home to roost, and don't let them lie their way out of it.
But at the same time, let us remember that we're supposed to be the good guys.
They are destroying themselves. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. ~Hosea 8:7
