Lest He Break Out Like Fire In The House Of Abraham (American Revelation VI, Part Six.)

 
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.
Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. ~Amos 5:4-6

I saw this a couple days ago.

Erick Erickson was pretty much saying that how easy it is to vote should be based on how easy it is to buy a gun. It's funny how the vast majority of the world doesn't see it that way. In most developed (and even many developing) countries it's easy to vote, and difficult to get a gun.

A weapon is a tool, not some kind of be-all, end-all, or a talisman against evil. Firearms have one purpose, and that is to kill things. This is not inherently the sacred, wonderful power that Republicans collectively seem to think that it is.

Yet this is the new talking point, Republicans want to make it harder to vote...because they think then people will just give up, and they'll get to have power forever...or at least they'll stay that way right now, which seems to actually be more important.

Here's the thing, though, when Republican policies are actively harmful to most people, and those people are armed and it's hard to get the ballot but easy to get the bullets...well eventually that only ends one way. Of course, it's not like these fucking people are known for thinking through the implications of their beliefs.

Hell, I know for a fact that some of these idiots appear to think that guns somehow make a person more conservative. It's horse shit, but yet again these damn people don't think in terms of real things or causes and effects, it's all about the fantasy, the myth, the things they tell themselves to try to make their shitty beliefs more palatable even to themselves.

This isn't the Party Of Lincoln. This sure as hell isn't the party of Reagan.

The truth is, it's barely even the Party Of Trump.

And it never, ever, really was. If anything, Trump stole it. Trump provided five years of bread and circuses without the bread and a substitution of an hour of Cruelty Theater every once in awhile. More to the point, these motherfuckers can't even stop lying about that.

The Republican Party of today is the Party of Jesse Helms, the party of Lee Atwater, the party of Strom Thurmond, the party of the Dixiecrats, Jim Crow and the KKK. It's the Party of the Confederate States Of America. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are just the boob-bait for the rubes while the boys in the backroom decide the fates of others amid clouds of cigar smoke.

And they lost, again, but they hate that. So they're effectively trying to take the vote away from Black people in Georgia. If the rest of us allow this bullshit to go unanswered we deserve what we're going to get.

Which is a lot more of what we've had for the last five years.

Pretty sure they hate even more that Biden's poll ratings are way higher than Trump's ever were. Of course Biden is actually governing as President to all of us, where Republicans can't even govern their own most basic impulses. How the fuck would they expect to run a country?

More to the point, they don't care to learn, they think having to persuade or even talk to the rest of us is beneath them, and they expect to be able to insult us and treat us like children and have us love them for it. They sure as hell don't want the rest of us to have a say in our own country.

I'm tired of these motherfuckers. Vote them all out, and expose, charge and prosecute these fuckers and their donors for sedition and treason against the United States, and then treat them accordingly.

The vote Is America. An attack on one of our rights is an attack on them all. Do you really think if we let these fuckers hand-pick who votes, they won't try that shit with everything else too?

Up to and including who gets to keep and bear arms. An armed populace doesn't serve the interests of the people who don't care about the rest of our rights, because we just might decide to fight to keep those rights.

The vote IS America, our democracy and traditions are what separates us from the barbarians, or so I was taught by conservatives when that word meant one could be more than a bootlicker, a bigot or insane...or a liar.

If we want a better country, we have to be better citizens...and we have to stomp the Republican Party into the dust, sweep it up and leave it in the dustbin of history where it belongs.

To do anything else is to take a hell of a lot of risks with our own lives. These fuckers tried to weaponize a virus to kill us all...and that was what they did when they were still for the most part pretending to be civilized people.

What do you think they'll do now that they don't have to pretend anymore?

If the judgment and wrath of an angry God is not forthcoming, we need to land on these assholes like the wrath of God.

That is all.

Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:

That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. ~Amos 5:8-12
