Heavy (Scenes From The Culture Wars IV.)

Obie Trice
Real name no gimmicks

Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside
'Round the outside, 'round the outside
Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside
'Round the outside, 'round the outside
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back?
Guess who's back, guess who's back?
Guess who's back, guess who's back?
Guess who's back? 
~Eminem, Without Me.

I started seeing this a little bit ago.

"Some conversations can get heavy. Don't forget the human behind the screen."

And every single post I saw this on was, to one extent or another, about a Republican.

The Party of "Fuck Your Feelings" needs a good cry and a hug, and Post-Jack Dorsey Twitter is apparently willing to indulge said Republicans.

In response to that I'd just like to say "Fuck you motherfuckers sideways with a SpaceX rocket after the fucking thing has been launched, until half the country can see you got flames shooting out of your asshole."

I mean, Jesus Christ. What the hell is wrong with people these days?

For the hundredth time, Communism hasn't been a thing since 1989.

I'm sick of hearing about it. This shit is ridiculous.

Republicans spent six years, from the moment that Trump declared his candidacy right up until the minute he was out of office engaged in every possible asshole transgressive behavior they even thought they could get away with. Like some kind of national equivalent of the jerk who thinks it's cute to smoke while he's pumping gas, especially anytime anything with the potential to cause conflict happened...

While being like "Own the Libs! Own the Libs! Ha Ha Ha"

...And now that Trump, their profoundly unfunny insult-comedian President...has been out of office for nearly a year, these jokers need a hug and a good cry and an afternoon watching Marianne Williamson videos on YouTube every single time someone mildly objects to their evil, autocratic bullshit!?!?

I mean, I kept seeing this on video clips of Marsha Blackburn and Rick Scott blaming inflation on Democratic government spending...as if Republicans don't spend like drunken sailors on a bunch of shit that nobody else needs but it enriches their donors and rich friends. My God, don't you fuckers ever get tired of your own hypocrisy?!?!

And of course there's Marjorie Taylor Greene calling Democrats "Communists" and getting publicly owned by Jamie Raskin for doing so. Goddamn, but I'm tired of these fucking hypocrites and I say that as a former Republican.

They face the most basic level of resistance for trying to govern like basic internet trolls, and they act like they're facing the Apocalypse.

I've created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more
They want Shady, I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady , this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that'll jump start my heart quicker
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the doctor when I'm not cooperating
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating (hey)
You waited this long to stop debating
'Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know-that you got a job, Ms. Cheney
But your husband's heart problem's complicating
So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So come on and dip, bum on your lips
Fuck that, cum on your lips and some on your tits
And get ready 'cause this shit's about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, "Fuck you, Debbie!" 

 ~Eminem, Without Me.

Like I said, Jesus Christ. What the hell is wrong with people these days?

On January 6th of this year, Republicans literally tried to overthrow Democracy and when Democrats (and a couple of Republicans, both sides grudgingly, after months of procrastination) try and do something about that shit the "Fuck your feelings" people get all soggy and hard to light and start trying to distract the public by getting all angry and shouty about government spending and socialism.

As if their fascism-boner hasn't turned into a grotesque untreated purple priapism since they got just a little taste under Trump...and a year later they have to arrange that shit carefully before sitting down and there's green stuff coming out of their collective pee hole. 

These fucking people are doing everything but screaming "The plow makes the furrow, but the sword defends it!" like fascist Blackshirts goose-stepping in review and stiff-arm saluting il Duce.

And you point that shit out and suddenly these fucking people are all crocodile tears and emotional support hamsters and hanging motivational posters on the walls trying to turn your ass into the bad guy. 

And corporations are letting them shovel that bullshit!

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy
'Cause it feels so empty without me
I said, this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy
'Cause it feels so empty without me.

~Eminem, Without Me.

Again, Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with people?

I mean, I really do hate to say this, but if I have to trust Liz Cheney or Tucker Carlson, it's you and me, Liz, all day.

It's funny how Republicans are suddenly again all about privacy and fear of big government when they did something really bad and even some of the people who are investigating them are taking that shit seriously. You know, maybe we should all be taking these people and their seditious bullshit seriously and treating them like the threat they've become?

As with their whining about the NSA during the Obama years it's all bad faith "Poor me" shit, and then suddenly Trump gets elected and they're back to the Bush-years refrain of "Well, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" as if we don't see every goddamn fucking day that they'll fucking make something to fear out of thin air if they have nothing to fear and then they'll try and point the full power and rage of Big Government right at you.

But when it's them "Oh, well, that's different." And when they're actually getting investigated and arrested and charged and even some of them are going to jail it's "Please! Don't let The Man come and get my ass!" Even though the second they're out of mixed company they're talking shit about starting a second Civil War and breaking off a piece of the United States to form the People's Republic Of Trump or some shit.

If you even point it out, they act like they're being thrown to the lions.

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan


The sooner we as a nation, as individual people, stop putting up with these people's horse shit and start calling out their fascism and punching them in the face on a regular damn basis the better off we're all going to be...including the conservatives in point of fact.

Corporations and media handing these people a tissue and soothing their bad-faith fake tears while amplifying their bullshit talking points because they miss the drama and easy money of the Trump years ain't the fucking answer. 

I'll remind you there's no small number of these fucking people who'd love to knock off the corporate masters and nationalize social media and every other industry they can get their hands on simply to eliminate sources of criticism and further amplify their own power. How the CEO's and managers and owners think that'll benefit them, I have no idea. These damned Republicans are all but saying out loud they want to whack your ass and take your money because you weren't "Conservative" or evil or fascist enough...almost regardless of your actual political position or how many times you've supported them in the past.

If you don't see that for the threat that it is, you're stupid. 

These people don't want to be the conservative Republicans of ages past, hell, even old Joe McCarthy probably wouldn't have gone far enough for them. They want to be the black-robed inquisitors of the Burning Times or the Commissars of the Imperium Of Man, walking tall among cowering masses toiling in hive-slums who fear being accused of "Communism" by their power and thence the stake or the firing squad. 

It ain't the party of Reagan no more. When these people say "Freedom" they mean it only for themselves.

And when somebody punches them in the face, they don't deserve your sympathy, they deserve to get some questions about why that happened and what they did to deserve it.

Stop giving criminals and insurrectionists the benefit of the doubt or credit for the legacies of ages past that they shit all over every day now.

Sometimes when you see things get heavy, somebody deserved it. If you don't think they'll abuse the shit out of your attempts to be fair, you're wrong. If you don't think at least some of these visible attempts at "fairness" toward Republicans aren't themselves offered in bad faith by people who think they'll benefit, you have another thing coming.

Republicans, it's like my Grandma used to say: Sometimes, when people don't like you, the problem is you.

Cut out the bullshit and maybe we can get along...but first you have to cut out the bullshit.
