Lost (Land Of Confusion, One.)

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in (oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

~Genesis, Land Of Confusion

I saw this last night.

Blowbert, saying "Chase after Jesus with everything you have, and I promise, your husband will chase after you."

My ex-wife used to say shit like that. This kind of attitude is why, at least when it comes to Christian women, religiosity is a huge turnoff for me. It's also pure Evangelical bullshit, nothing works like that, trust me.

Also, I heard last night that Hoebert is getting divorced now. So yeah, bitch, how's that working out??

I saw this too, in response to the nothingburger Durham Report, Tommy Tuberville supports "Getting rid of elections."

Dumb motherfucker also "supports" not staffing the Department Of Defense and the military properly because something something gazpacho, so I don't know why anybody would be surprised.

These Republican motherfuckers just straight up don't want to live in America.

Of course they have no idea what they want to replace America with...except that they want it to be someplace where Republicans rule (and apparently also live) forever and no one...including other Republicans...has any recourse against whatever they might want to do.

Hate to rain on your parade, pal, but this kind of shit historically ends with Guillotines and revolutionary committees and terrors and wars. The unaccountable ruling class is usually the first to go. Generally, it happens in escalating rounds of people losing everything from the neck up. 

And no amount of guns will protect you, because when the People get tired of your shit, that usually includes the people with most of the guns, and people stop caring if they get shot.

Republicans think they're invincible, ten feet tall and bulletproof. They think common decency, laws, hell, shame, damn near anything shouldn't apply to them. And I have no idea the fuck why. 

Motherfuckers been losing elections since the Alabama special election in 2017 and hell, even with the Press actively stanning for them last year they only gained a slight majority in the House. Things went badly enough in 2022 that most people assessed it as an overall loss for Republicans.

And they're just getting less popular as this mess goes on.

Yet they keep doubling down on exactly what's making them be not-popular, if I had to guess, because they have the same 20% or so of Americans that they always have so hopped up on all this "Own The Libs" horseshit that they'll tolerate literally anything.

And the rest of us can't really afford to wait for this mania to burn itself out, or for Republicans to beat themselves into an electoral nonentity. Yeah, the voters are the ultimate check on all this crap.

But some of the MAGA base is as bad as or worse than their politicians. 

Republicans are losing, they've lost the damned narrative, but they ain't losing fast enough.

In some places this garbage isn't going to go away until we start locking these motherfuckers up for all the illegal and unconstitutional and wrong shit they be doing, until we hold elites who break laws to account just the same as common criminals, or until the sons of bitches have all been killed in the Civil War they keep trying to start. 

It's going to go on, until We The People beat fear of the law and a sense of shame back into these fucking Republicans.

And I get it. I really do. Republicans, most especially Republican men...but also some of the women like Blowbert and MTG...can't see past or think any further ahead than the next time they get to orgasm, metaphorically or otherwise.

I was that way once too, when I was like 13 or 14.

And the funny part was even then I should've known better.

But ya know, there was this one time me and the neighbor girl got caught messing around...and not even going that far...but of course we both got in trouble. Naturally, being that age and full of myself I copped an attitude. My Grandma's response to this simply was "Well, if you ain't sorry I'm a whup you until you is. Go pick a switch."

I don't remember much else that happened the rest of that day.

Republicans not only don't believe in anything much these days, but Trump taught them that they didn't have to believe in anything that didn't feel good, or stroke the frills of their lizard-brains just right.

It's like these sons of bitches figure they can just go through life having one unending emotional orgasm now. 

Even, technically, with Trump less of a factor...now they're just applying that old 1960's "If it feels good, do it!" mentality to everything. Republicans are going right into all the McCarthyite and Randian horseshit from the past and figuring, well, it feels good to them so they'll probably get away with it...after all, Trump did, right?

And the thing is, even if they don't get away with it, it still feels real good in the moment. This is why we're stuck with unending political onanism from these idiots.

And they'd rather make the aged, the blind, the disabled, etc. work or veterans and working poor people have to get another job than have to stop this shit!

I'd say the cruelty is the point, but that seems like it's not even enough anymore, fuck you!

And that's all they really care about. These clowns have become addicted to getting high off the smell of their own shit. And like any basic addict, they don't care what they have to do to get high, or jerk off or whatever. Let alone what comes after that.

The only thing that matters is Right Now. Trust me, I know about this too. Addiction sucks.

I mean, sure, you got motherfuckers like Leonard Leo trying to set they shit up for the next thousand years...but the garden variety Republican isn't thinking any further ahead than they next dopamine hit. And, fortunately or unfortunately, that includes a lot of people in power who should goddamned well know better. In a normal country this would get them slaughtered electorally, but a quarter to a third of the voters are just as bad.

And guess what? Our entire system is predicated on the voters knowing better, if nothing else!

But too many of them don't. And they keep trying to outsource knowing anything to a category loosely described as "Other people."

But they don't like other people, so they don't want to listen when they get told things.

So naturally, these people's "beliefs" are nothing but a Land of Confusion, a flood of foolishness, a tale told by an idiot, full of much sound and fury but signifying nothing. 

It's pure nonsense, like trying to listen to these Evangelicals and Pentecostals who've replaced Christ with conspiracy theories. Like, who do you fuckers think is gonna save you, really??

The Lord's Word says that Man cannot Save Man.

But the truth is, like some shitty nihilistic teenager, they don't wanna be saved. They think it'd be "cool" to go to hell, or some shit, just to piss off their elders.

I'm old enough to remember when an attitude like that'd get a kid a pants-down spanking right in the middle of the damn store! 

Or, for an older kid, locked up and they address and picture and some notes about what they done be in the local paper...a whole damn article if you did something shitty enough. Guess what? Nobody ever said a word about it...except in some particularly egregious cases, to speculate aloud about whatever nasty stuff might happen to a serial offender when they finally ended up in jail.

Ain't right, probably, but that's the world I grew up in.

Our society used to have standards.

I have a feeling reality is going to provide something along those lines, eventually.

But do you really want to wait that long, or let things get that bad? There's a lot of us out there who ain't got that much time.

You think if the situation with the war in Ukraine, the overall situation in Europe, boils over into something worse that these selfish fuckers are going to straighten up when the Russians come after us? 

Hell No, they won't. They're too hooked on Self and Stupidity. And a non-zero percentage of the alleged far-left wants to play Republicans fuck fuck games right along with them.

Shit, they wanna make things worse right now, across the board, on any issue you can think of! It's a goddamn Death Spiral of crazy!

More to the point, our enemies are counting on them doing exactly that!

To put it, simply, into the Christian terminology I was raised with, these people are Lost.

We can't wait for them to find themselves, let alone find Jesus.

We The People need to stop putting up with this garbage, Now.

You have to be a better citizen, and yes, that's on you.

So get after it.

Слава Україна!

We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world, a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them. ~Hunter S. Thompson, Kingdom Of Fear (2004)
