I've actually enjoyed this past week. I KNOW! Crazy, right? Yeah, there are dark days on the horizon- make no mistake. But, I'm so inspired after the marches in Washington, Chicago and all over the world and by the strong, cohesive responses to the Trumpocracy by millions and millions of people, here, there and everywhere. We're not gonna take it. We can do this.
Whether it's been dialogue on Facebook or on the TV, the vast majority of Americans have recognized what a train wreck the Trump transition has been and will continue to be. Whether it's alternative facts or the sheer, small-dicked insistence that his crowds were bigger, Trump has exposed his foolishness to the entire world. Even the dumbest trumper has to have noticed this. Mind you- they won't voice their concerns but, I think they know they fell into some shit here.
The final verdict isn't in yet but they sure got fucked on that wall. We all will, of course, if he does carry through with it. Our taxes will pay for it and we'll pay again in much higher prices for goods coming from Mexico. On the threads there is a financial genius who calls himself "Denny Crane" who habitually has declared that the US should not tax the wealthy or corporations because they simply pass on the cost of those "punitive taxes" onto we-the-people. Like the wall... Trump, and now Paul Ryan, have admitted that, yes, taxpayers will fund the wall. However, they dangled yet another carrot of Mexico eventually reimbursing us for sometime in the future...
That's for the brain-dead believers to hang their MAGA hats on. They'll figure it out. Or they won't. Their stupidity is not really our problem. This is their time to shine and they can enjoy it while they can. It's certainly not going to last. It's been amusing to read people talking about TWO terms for Trump. They're getting a little ahead of themselves. He probably won't make the year without getting impeached and replaced with Pence- the guy the republicans really want as their front-man anyway. Does anyone in their right mind think Trump really wants to do this shit for eight years- let alone four? The presidency ages a man. Could you imagine what this lump of shit would look like after eight years in office? He's 70. He's already off to a bad start just based on age alone. Just take a look at him now....
Yeah, he's crazy and dangerous but, most of us realize the real crazy and danger lays in the republican house and senate, led by McConnell and Ryan. They are the front-men for wealthy and corporations. Those people are mostly in it for the money obviously but, we do not know how far they will take America to the brink. There is no reason they can't turn America into a third world country and, as long as they convince enough people that it will be the greatest third world country EVER, there are millions of Idiotic-Americans that will go along with that. There's more of US than them though.
Your average CEO with his mega-millions bonuses each year probably doesn't care about gays and abortions and which church people attend. Just money. Trump doesn't either but Pence most certainly does. Right now they are interested in throwing the red meat to their vengeance-hungry base as a reward for their voting. The people on the Facebook sites whom you see railing against gays, blacks and libtards and their "special rights" must be satiated in their vengeance. It keeps them in the fold and maybe keeps them from noticing that the wall is going to cost them bigly and that, no, those coal-mining jobs are not coming back. However, under a Trump administration there'll be no men sucking each others cocks! Of course, under Pence rule, there will be no ladies sucking cocks either. He frowns on such pleasures no matter who is giving or receiving. Therein lies the ironic rub.
How far do these people want to take this? They have the presidency, both houses and nearly 2/3rds of governorship's. We may well be in the midst of a slow-moving coup that could quickly get ugly. This is their chance to reign. If democrats are complete pussies, there will be a new USSC pick that is guaranteed to be crazy. If they even bother to keep things quasi-legal, there will be massive voter suppression designed to keep republicans in power until they explode the planet. That will be *evidenced* by those "illegals voting in California..." that cost Hair Furor the popular vote. Even they know that what they are doing is wrong and they will take all the steps- necessary and otherwise- to ensure that no democrats ever get a chance to step in and undo their carnage. It's looking doubtful that we'll be switching party's every 4-8 years as we had become accustomed to over the years.
So, how can I be encouraged in the face of all this? I don't know. Maybe I like chaos? I know I like a good fight. There may be one coming. Instead of a revolution, there will probably be a civil war. Will Americans kill each other over this nonsense? We did over slavery. Who woulda thunk that now? They did then. Imagine that...
The good people are gathering though. That is encouraging. There are more of us than them. Ironically- if there is a God- he's on our side. At least his kid is. If you've paid attention to his words, you'd know that.
