Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me. ~Exodus 20:13I saw this last night. But the power was out and my internet was shit, so I decided not to write anything and just went to bed early.
The My Pillow Guy is still all in on Trump's Big Lie and he says he's spent $25 MILLION trying to prove it. He says he'll keep going until he's out of money.
How he'll pay for the cocaine after that I don't know.
What the fuck is it with these people? What the fuck kind of person would spend half of their $50 Million net worth on some sad-sack piece of shit like Donald Fucking Trump?
Well, I guess now we know the answer to that, don't we?
Thing that gets me is, Mike Lindell is rather loudly and obnoxiously an Evangelical Christian, of the "I gave up Crack so I get high on Jesus now" sort that anybody who's ever attended a Pentecostal church in a rural area is likely familiar with.
Dude could have literally used that $25 Million to make the world a better place. Hell, I happen to know some places and ways where an amount of money like that would stretch pretty damn far and help one hell of a lot of people. Hell, dude could manufacture some of his product in a place like Uganda and pay those workers like $10-$20 a day and not only do a little good in a seriously poor country, but be regarded as a fucking hero for it. All that while increasing his profit margin *And* helping people who overwhelmingly share his alleged belief in Jesus Christ.
But no, he wasted it on Donald Trump and trying to prove some bullshit that's just plain not true.
And he very likely got scammed in the process. Twenty five million bucks, just pissed away. Dude's company lost $80 Million in the last year because retailers don't want to be associated with him. By comparison, a wisely-spent $100 can help a whole community in a country like Uganda, especially if you spend it on school fees or school supplies.. I'm serious. Think about that for a second. Just think about it.
But don't worry, that's OK. According to people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, the only thing kids in school need is guns. Not better paid teachers, not better computer labs, hell, not even better-funded sports programs. They need some random morons to show up with guns.
How the fuck is that going to help anything?
'Cause let me tell you what that will do. It'll make a hell of a lot more people like Mike Lindell who don't know anything about anything, but can sling a lot of bullshit. And it'll sure create a lot more morons to buy those people's products. Also, people who will think a gun is the answer to every problem. Do you want to live in that kind of society?
I sure don't, and I have guns and have been trained in their use.
And I want you to consider something else.
Remember that kid that shot up the school a couple weeks ago? The one with the Trump-supporting Parents Of The Fucking Year who attempted to flee the country when they were indicted and left their kid twisting in the wind. The ones who got a real lawyer for themselves and left sonny boy with a public defender. You know, the "LOL, I'm not mad, just don't get caught next time" people?
Imagine those amoral cocksuckers, and their kid, armed, broke, desperate, hungry and completely lacking in scruples of any kind because all social programs that don't (disproportionately) benefit elderly Republican voters or the wealthy were labeled "Communism" and scrapped or sharply reduced.
Imagine all these old, fat, handgun-in-battery-and-jammed-down-their-sweaty-butt-crack motherfuckers with their shitty pickup trucks and faded Trump stickers when their social security checks get cut way the fuck down.
Imagine they find out about the cuts while waiting in line at the grocery store or Walmart, and the line is being held up because some poor old lady with an Oxygen Tank On A Leash is counting out her change to buy a pack of cigarettes. Throw in some chubby white girl with a hugely full cart, an EBT card and some kids for additional color. Maybe the obvious LGBT people in line? How many of these judgmental conservative pricks are going to keep their cool, especially when they're constantly being told that the answer to every problem is a gun and founding their own shitty little fiefdom?
And imagine if you will, that some idiot jackleg preacher is harassing shoppers that day. Or it's hot.
What's your guess, about how many people do you think would end up getting shot?
What's left of Conservatism in America already runs on anger and manufactured outrage and paranoia. And these fucking idiots want to brand every single thing that helps people "Communism" and preach that fundamentalist religion, guns, and some tin-pot fake strongman are the answer to all of people's problems, while dumping gasoline on every simmering racial or social issue?
And then you have to consider that some people are just nihilists who want to watch the world burn.
How long do you really think any kind of civil order would hold up with people like MTG in charge, and with a blank check to do what they want?!
While I'm at it, do you really think any of these Republican Ratfuckers who'd even think of something like running a scam presidential campaign (Kanye West) would even give a shit if their citizens were murdering each other in the streets? Unless of course they could lie about it and turn that to their political advantage.
If you want a better country, you have to be better citizens and elect better officials who will hire decent people as staffers and shit.
This? This ain't that.
Having people in politics who demand to be worshiped as gods...and fools who will give them that worship...is a bad idea.
From Stettin on the Baltic to Varna on the Black Sea, the regimes planted by totalitarianism have had more than thirty years to establish their legitimacy. But none — not one regime — has yet been able to risk free elections. Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root....If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly....Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used, for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that's now going on in the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated. ~Ronald Reagan
