Republicanism, On Meth (American Revelation VI, Part Seven.)

Smoking marijuana, eating Cheetos, and masturbating do not constitute plans in my book. ~Walter White, Breaking Bad.

I'm really starting to think Republicans need to lay off on the drugs.

Or maybe things would be better if they were on drugs?

It's kind of hard to tell at this point, but I'm really fucking tired of the ongoing Caveman Ugh-lympics that is the modern Republican party. Apologies to cavemen for the analogy..

Seriously, these fucking people are fucking morons. What the hell were y'all thinking, America?

Do these idiots even realize how stupid they sound...or even what they're saying?

I'm thinking "No, they don't."

This is the direct result, ultimately, of certain Boomers convincing a lot of younger people (and a lot of their own) that the cool kids didn't care about politics.

Because that's how we ended up with this unfuckable dork brigade dominating the Republican Party and for at least the last 20 years, most of these idiots don't know anything about anything. They sure as hell believe in all their idiotic, often-racist assumptions, though...and then they continue to act as if they can make all this bullshit be true, if only they just believe in it hard enough.

Sorry, people, this isn't Planescape: Torment. Real life doesn't work like that. It's been my actual, lived experience that belief and $1.50 will get you a soda. In other words, belief is worth exactly what you put into it. 

If you happen to "believe" as guys like Tommy Tuberville do, that whatever you say should go, for no better reason than you said it...well, the best that can be said is you have shitty beliefs. Most people who think that way can expect nothing more than a life of continual disappointment because the rest of the world doesn't have to agree with your narcissistic opinion of yourself or put up with your bullshit. So then of course, these people get angry, because in a hell of a lot of cases that's not just their natural response to everything...it's the only emotion they were allowed to openly express. So, first these people fuck up everything they possibly can, because in their ideal world apparently everything is a giant soup sandwich and nobody knows much of anything...which is exactly why people like Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tommy Tuberville ended up in Congress. 

The donor class, the RNC and various other people really don't want anybody around who's smart enough to question what they're told, and of course the base is entertained by the ongoing Chucklefuck Olympics and feels emotionally attached to and sustained by an increasingly 'Bread and Circuses' onslaught of culture war bullshit. Never mind all the money they're wasting on guns and ammo they'd best not try and use, or the fact that they're not watching their own health or taking their kids to the dentist. And of course the reason for both the former and the latter and the effects thereof is that corporations and the wealthy know that the traditional Republican program of deregulation and tax cuts has been getting ever more unpopular for 40 years. So what the base hears is "Everything sucks, LOL nothing matters, burn it all down."

The only thing trickling down is these motherfuckers pissing in your ear and trying to tell you it's raining.

 Over the weekend, Ted Cruz visited the border and posed for photos on a Border Patrol small craft in the Rio Grande. I sensed very strong "Dukakis on the tank" energy here and so did a hell of a lot of other people. 

But the problem is that Ted Cruz does in fact have a base of fanatical followers that don't care how foolish he looks or how much of a toolbag he is in a general sense because they think he's being that much of a tool specifically to the people that they don't like...as opposed to, ya know, everybody including them. If there's one thing about Ted Cruz that is all about equality it's how much of an asshole he is to everybody. But Ted Cruz's voters don't care because they think it's funny. Or they did before he jetted off to Cancun in the middle of a huge blizzard hitting his state, anyway.

In another era, even as recently as 19 or 20 years ago that would have been a career-ending fuckup and he'd have been forced to resign and you'd never have heard of him again.

Except that at least some of them don't care, even when it's their own lives that are at stake.

And don't think that Congressional Republicans don't know it.

A hell of a lot of these people are basically in the process of amusing themselves to death, while an even more fanatical section of their bros is turning to outright anti-American rhetoric and beliefs that would have done the German American Bund proud.

An awful lot of these fucking people appear to be starting to think of the US government and the US military as their enemies. I'm not too worried about that. I have a strong feeling that even I, in my current condition, could pretty much reduce a lot of these idiots to tears and make them run back home to mama without even doing all that much.

But at some point, this foolishness is going to have to be addressed, because if it isn't somebody's going to get killed. Even if it's just these people who are spiraling off into this fantasy world, this shit isn't really necessary. There's been enough killing.

Hundreds of thousands of real people have died because of these idiots and their evil, stupid, wrong ideas. The problem isn't so much that these fucking people have no conscience. It's actually worse than that. There's one hell of a lot of these idiots who are basically masturbating to thoughts of even more death and destruction.

Because that's what they think righteousness is, or something. They literally think if things get bad enough, Jesus will appear and save them.

And to a hell of a lot of these fucking idiots the whole point of believing all this stuff is being Raptured and then getting a front row seat to the rest of us suffering in the Apocalypse before we ultimately get zapped into charcoal briquettes by their small, shitty, vengeful god.

And lately they aren't even bothering to pretend that their god is Jesus Christ anymore. I'm not sure how these people got this fucked in the head, but I am sure that no matter how hard you try to believe that Donald Trump is a god, that's not going to make it so. Man cannot save Man, only God can do that.

Now I'm not a born-again anything, anymore. But I'm here to tell you, if you're still believing in these shitty people and their shitty politics and their shitty, small, vengeful little "god" after all this mess, you're the one who's going to hell, not me.

In the Bible, Revelation isn't about torture porn or a supposed gilded afterlife.

It's really about justice.

No amount of circus act bullshit or fake righteousness will ever change that.

And the judge is going to be smarter than you and know all the shit you did.

No, there isn't an appeals court, either.

And that's the part these fucking people forgot.

Part Six.

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning, ~Mark 13:35
