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

I saw this yesterday.
Hurt not the oil and the whine, I guess?
But it's Okay, supposedly there's one that "Only" costs $35,000
Bitch, the most expensive vehicle I ever bought (a new 2001 Ford Escape that my ex-wife just had to have, and she got that car...and the loan...in the divorce, LOL) was like a good ten grand less than that, and only the second new vehicle I've ever had, the first being a 1995 Chevy S-10 basic model pickup truck. Fuck, If I had $35,000 the absolute last thing I'd ever spend it on would be one of Elon's Fash-mobiles.
This is how out-of-touch and hopped up on "Hey, we have a cult" these fucking people are.
Most people do not have $35,000 to just go buy a Tesla for the sake of partisan political loyalty, and the number of them that does is only gonna go down.
Why? Because the economy is starting to visibly crash. It's been working on it for a couple weeks. The little stock ticker that my new little laptop often has on its taskbar (and I got it a couple weeks ago) is usually in the red with down arrows. This should surprise absolutely no one. Chaos is not good for anyone's finances, but then these fucking people are doing this shit for relative status (and the bidding of Vladimir Putin) not money.
Elon's ball's deep in the Twitterization of America and it's crashing, at about the same rate that Twitter did. Except Trump is gonna try to use the full power of the State to keep Elon afloat because these assholes think crashing America (but not themselves) is some great Project on behalf of their little cabal of billionaire butt-buddies.
Oh, and hey, if you don't have $35K to just go out and use to blow the narcissist, fuck you.
Like, I don't know how any of these fucking people expect the economy to keep going gangbusters when all the sudden tens of thousands of people (a number certain to go up) are applying for Unemployment benefits when there's literally no good reason any of them should have been let go.
Most of America is basically being told to go fuck itself by these dickheads, nobody but cult members and rich people are actually happy with any of this crap, and somebody's surprised that there's people in the streets?
That's only going to get worse.
Like, I personally know people, a couple of my Mom's seasonal neighbors for example, who've had their lives upended by this horseshit...and where they just bought a house, there literally are no jobs other than the National Forest they were working at!
You know, another reason I'm pissed off about all this bullshit is that it's made my Mom have to follow politics. My Mom is a basic Democrat and has been since the early-to-mid-1990's (she was/is a Clintonista) but she hates politics, hates following politics and until the last couple of months has hated it when anybody brings that shit up!
Now she's the one bringing it up!
I think a lot of these fucking people who voted for this shit thought Trump's second term would be like the first one, or that they wouldn't get fucked over and somebody else would. Well, none of this is going to work out that way and a lot of privileged American white people are going to find out how the global Other Half lives.
And they're not liking what they see so far.
And I'm warning you now, when the inevitable clap-back comes, when the other shoe drops, these fucking people are gonna try to kill their way into staying in power forever. Fuck, they're already doing all type of health woo shit in the hope that they can use the next pandemic as a bioweapon like how they tried to use COVID-19.
And if they can't do that, they'll weaponize (or even start) civil conflict, insurgency and war because mass death is their goal and they don't care how they get it, so long as the wealthy are unaffected. That's what the "Do not hurt the oil and the wine" in Revelation 6:6 means.
The Prosperity Gospel is a lie, these fucking people are evil, not righteous.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. ~Revelation 6:7-8
It won't work, just like it didn't last time. The anger from Americans is becoming visible, and not only do I not think this will be solved by the political process, I think it's going to fly of the handle sooner and not later. More to the point, seeing us as a test case...the rest of the world is going to stop reacting with horror and smack this billionaire far-right shit down hard.
And that's why these motherfuckers want to go out and fight everybody and try to crash everything and replace the Lord's Word with a Christ-less Prosperity Gospel.
They'd rather be the Beast of Revelations their own damn selves than lose even one iota of their narcissistic relative status. It's not even about money. What God thinks about that (or does to these fucking people) doesn't seem to matter to them, I guess?
As for us, either we believe in freedom or we don't.
Because the time is coming where we're all gonna have to stand up.
Soon.
The assholes aren't going to give you a choice.
And when it doesn't work out how they thought it would, they'll whine about that and try to blame somebody else for it, too.
Слава Україна!
Osman Ali Atto: I see not catching Aidid is becoming routine.
General William Garrison: We're not leaving Somalia until we find him. And we will find him.
Atto: (scoffing) You've been here, what, six weeks? Six weeks, you tried to catch the General. You put up reward posters. $25,000. What's this, gunfight at K.O. Corral?
Garrison: It's O.K. Corral.
Atto: Don't make the mistake of thinking because I grew up without running water I am simple, General. I do know something about history. See all this? It's simply shaping tomorrow. A tomorrow without a lot of Arkansas white-boys' ideas in it.
Garrison: Well, I wouldn't know about that. I'm from Texas.
Atto: Mr. Garrison, I think you should not have come here. This is civil war. This is our war, not yours.
Garrison: Three hundred thousand dead and counting. That's not a war, Mr. Atto. That's genocide. ~From The Film Black Hawk Down.
They're pickin' up the prisonersAnd puttin 'em in a penAnd all she wants to do is dance, danceRebels been rebelsSince I don't know whenAnd all she wants to do is dance
Molotov cocktail, the local drinkAnd all she wants to do is dance, danceThey mix 'em up rightIn the kitchen sinkAnd all she wants to do is dance
Crazy people walkin' round with blood in their eyesAnd all she wants to do is dance, dance, danceWild-eyed pistol wavers who ain't afraid to dieAnd all she wants to do isAnd all she wants to do is danceAnd make romanceShe can't feel the heatComin' off the streetShe wants to partyShe wants to get downAll she wants to do isAll she wants to do is dance.
