The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
For thus saith the Lord God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught. ~Amos 5:1-5
There is apparently a substantial percentage of conservatives, supposed Christians, theoretically Evangelicals and shit, who either have forgotten or somehow never heard the words "Thou Shalt Not Kill."
Every day now since the Kyle Rittenhouse shootings happened, I've been seeing at least several Republicans or assorted other right-wingers crawling out of the woodwork to defend that little son of a bitch, many, if not most, framing his actions not as those of some troubled kid...you know, the usual school shooting stuff...but in nothing less than glowing, if not heroic or even revolutionary terms.
No, dude, just no.
Kyle Rittenhouse shooting two people for basically no damn reason is not the start of some "Second American Revolution" and in fact, what these fucking people want to do isn't actually one bit revolutionary in any way.
I mean, sure, they fetishize the idea of civil war and killing their political opponents. They never think we'll shoot back. They never consider in the least that there would be disruptions to food and water and power supplies and transportation networks, not to mention hoarding and shortages that would make the holes in the supply chain from COVID-19 and three months of no toilet paper at any stores whatever look like absolutely nothing.
Food, fuel, strategic metals? Hello? Ammunition, building materials, electronics, medications?? HELLO?! Is this thing even on? During World War II the national speed limit was reduced to 35 miles an hour, every bit of useful scrap got recycled and people grew their own vegetables in Victory Gardens.
Now? We live in a society where people can't...or far more often won't...give up the two seconds it takes to put a mask on.
But then they'll literally argue for, or even fiercely advocate for, destroying, giving up or severely limiting every freedom, right or societal benefit that we have all the way back to the Franchise itself, personal freedom and sovereignty over your own body...the very right to be treated as a person or to vote and have a say in things, the very essences of our society...the very purposes America even has for being here...because something something gazpacho.
If you think I'm joking, go ahead and ask one of these fucking idiots why they support Donald Trump. I fucking dare you. I've not yet met one of these fools who can or will actually tell me why they support Donald Trump.
I mean, I suspect I know. It's because he says racist shit and aggravates or harms people they don't like. But, Mr. White Man, how is that a reason to burn civilization down around your head?
And what happens when one of these goddamned idiots "jokes" about pimping out your wife, or your daughter? Let alone actually does it, and don't think somebody won't try.
The essence of Trumpism is disrespect, and don't think they won't get around to violating your personal beliefs or your personal boundaries or morals or space because they will, and they'll do it just because it's there. Because it might get them a tiny bump in polling, or because they damn well feel like it.
And remember, if you disagree with this flaming shit-show even one time, you're out. You might as well go join the Bernie Bros, or Boko Haram, or the Communists, for all they care. In point of fact, they literally don't know or recognize any difference between those widely differing groups, with these people it's literally "Us vs. Them."
Trumpers vs. The World.
Hey guys, how's that working out?!
Trump and the Republicans don't give a goddamn if they're basically financially-controlled bond slaves of the Russian mafia and Putin, taking orders from the guy who god his ass lit on fire in Boondock Saints, or RFID-chipped gay-married one-world-religion-worshiping servants of the "New World Order" so long as they get to keep power over you and me.
I'm pretty sure these fucking people would publicly bow down and worship the damn devil if that's what it took.
Is that the America that you want to live in? It's sure not my idea of a good place to live.
One way or another, we gotta get these motherfuckers out of power and that's all there is to it. We cannot afford to fail if we want to have any kind of life whatever. Vote them out, and then be prepared to fight them off.
After this last few days, you should not think I'm joking, because I'm dead serious.
They want a "Revolution" so they can cosplay at being "heroes" while in truth being anything but that. Their idea of revolution is not to stand up against tyranny, but to create one.
The rest of us need to consider that a real revolution might be necessary if we want to survive.
Be careful what you wish for, Republicans, and I'd suggest you start picking better heroes than teenage murderers.
Welcome to the Revolution.
Be careful what you wish for, for you may get it.
