Let's dissect why we lost. Was it pitching? Lack of timely hitting? The intangibles of various player's heart and desire?
No, of course not. It was none of those things because the Chicago Cubs are the motherfucking World Series champions! No one can tell you different! It's a done deal.
So, I must be talking about the recent election. Yes, I must be.
Let's not over analyze it. In sports you can say, "Well,they out-scored us and so, we lost." and everybody more or less gets that. In politics though, at least this time around, you can note that Hillary got one million plus more votes than Donnie and she still lost. That's the Electoral College- rivaled only by Trump University for it's uselessness.
If the Electoral College had an Athletic Department, would the Cubs have won the World Series?
That's a frightening thought, even if you're not a Cubs or sports-fan. The very idea that someone could win by losing is foreign to most all people except for republicans who twice in this young century have gotten in The White House a la' the EC.
The TV pundits, almost all of whom called this election wrong, now dissect it like the Medical Examiner who concludes in an autopsy that the victim "...died of lead-poisoning..." not the six bullets shot into his body. There was a bit more to it but, there was a lot less too.
Voter suppression played a huge role. Obviously, taking out hundreds(?) of thousands of democratic voters in various states had an impact. How could it not? Maybe Hillary could have lost by getting two million more votes than Donnie?
Clearly Trump did not have a mandate yet that doesn't stop pundits and republicans from proclaiming that "the people have spoken" and pretending that there is relevance to the angst of white males. There isn't. And white females came out for Trump too. He grabbed them by the pussy, I guess, and they liked it. This was supposed to be Hillary's year and women were supposed to propel her into the presidency by standing up to the pussy grabber, and up to all of the Mr. Man's of the world. Instead of sounding off like they had a pair of ovaries, they whimpered like they'd been kicked in the balls.
I have to tell you that though they tend to be soft and sweet and smell nice, women are as dumb and evil as men, any gawddamn day of the week. For gawd's sakes, people, people are good or bad based on their personal being, not on their genitalia. When is the world going to get this?
So, white men's shallow persecution complex and women's secret, dark desire for having their pussies manhandled wasn't really it. What then, Mr. Ferrerman, was the reason Trumpy won?
The EC! I said that above! Why aren't you paying attention?
Oh. The EC and the huge demographic in America known as Asshole-Americans. They were the deciders in this one. These A-A's looked Trumpenstein over and decided that we all needed a disgusting, un-qualified-for-the-office asshole to lead us into the cowardly new world of getting even with everybody. These assholes literally said: "Let's do SOMETHING, even if it's wrong!"
They sure did! Never in the history of this pretty-good country had a candidate stepped up and exposed himself as such an insufferable prick as Trump did, and even made it through the primaries. Remember Gary Hart? His candidacy was ruined merely by a photo of a pretty seated on his lap. Maybe he should have been shown clutching her pussy? No, that wouldn't have worked for him then. That works now though. These are interesting times, indeed.
History- if we have history in the future- will wondering what the fuck America was thinking, just as history wonders what Germany was thinking in 1933. You can rationalize Nazi Germany (to an extent) because Hitler's rise came in the midst of a world-wide Depression on the heels of a humiliating defeat in war. The German people wanted something wonderful, right away. They fucked up but, we know why they fucked up.
What history won't know is why America followed up a great president like Barack H. Obama with a dandy demagogue like Trump. Asshole-Americans is the only thing that makes sense. They gave up being *forced* to be nice and fought back. They wondered aloud what was wrong with police shooting unarmed black people and questioned why their sensibilities should be offended by gay people marrying or existing. Why have big gubmint telling you how to live your life when constitutionally speaking, the founders clearly intended for local smaller gubmint to dictate your wants and desires and why you shouldn't have them? Why isn't up, down? Damn libs passed the Law Of Gravity and, with a couple of righteous USSC appointments, that to can be repealed and replaced with nothing! Why not?
Interesting times, indeed.
