Oh, Jordan
Jordan Kepler is kinda my hero of the day. Really. He goes among the MAGAts and does not throw up. BTW, did you know that 50% of the trumpanzees believe Cheeto actually won the election? Idiots! Nothing as delusional as the MAGAts. They believe all kinds of stupid conspiracy theories, lies and outright stupid shit. I can't with them. Hence my reluctance to reduce my IQ by interacting with them. Yeah. I think they're disturbingly stupid and glaringly ignorant. And I'm not alone. Michael is with with me.
But seventy million Americans voted for Cheeto and I cannot get over that fact. You see, I have purged my life of Repugs. There is nobody in my circle who voted for IMPOTUS. Nobody. I do know some people who did vote for him but I do not socialize with them, I don't talk to them and I don't talk about them with other people. I refuse. Why? Because there is no reasoning with stupidity. They have been drinking the Kool-Aid and there's no turning back after that fact. Some people are really lost. And some people have lost family and friends to a 'news' channel. Pathetic.
Some people HAVE tried to reach out to Hair Furor's voters. No success. Why, you'd ask?
We cannot help people who refuse to help themselves. Mr. Trump is an extension of their id, their culture, their values, their greed. He is their defender and savior. He is their blunt instrument. He is their destructive drug of choice.
Don’t waste your time reaching out to Trump voters as I did. Instead, invest your time organizing your community, registering new voters and supporting candidates who reflect progressive values that uplift everyone, not just those who wear MAGA hats, in local and state elections. Work also to protect Americans against lies and conspiracy theories churned out by the right-wing media and political ecosystem. One step would be to continue pressuring social media giants like Twitter and Facebook to deplatform hatemongers, such as Steve Bannon, and censor disinformation. It’s not enough, but it’s a start.
So there's that. I know, Maddie has said that she'll be nice and reach out and try to bridge differences with some Repugs. So did Uncle Joe. Well, they are better men than me. I don't think that's possible. There's no 'talking' to a MAGat. When people are questioned about their political beliefs they shut down. Especially if those beliefs are irrational conspiracy theories, racist points of view, xenophobic opinions, sexist tropes, homophobic attitudes and assorted fuckery. I just can't with them.
If you can, you are like my one friend who said he was happy there were no more Twitler signs out there. But the threat of the movement that Cheeto started is STILL there. Those seventy million people are still there. Ann Coulter (barf) said the she liked Trumpism without IMPOTUS and she's right. The new wave of bigots, racists and conspiracy theory peddlers is coming. Don't believe me? Just look at North Carolina, where a literal Nazi won a place in congress. He's 24 years old. That's the future.
There's no time to extend a hand, people. What's coming is a fight. For the soul of this nation. And you have to be prepared. Organize. Register new voters. Vote down that ballot. Choose your candidates carefully. And stop trying to play nice with assholes who do not deserve it.
XOXO
The MAGAts are all fleeing Twitter and faux news. Their new homes are Parler and OAN and newsmax. I saw on the daily show the other day how those two “news” outlets maintain that dump won the election. The way the fawn over the fragile one is disgusting. The next four years are going to be tough.
ReplyDeleteAnd you’re right, the work must continue. Local elections are coming up. All politics is local. Organize at the grassroots level and get progressive Democrats in office. We need a blue tsunami that we didn’t get this cycle. And we need the two Democratic senate candidates in Georgia to win the January runoff.
XOXO 👨❤️💋👨
I literally CAN'T with the stupid.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is the kind of stupid that hurts. Us.
DeleteThey don't even notice...
XOXO
THIS! I refuse to interact with MAGAts; waste of my time and intelligence. crush them with a steamroller! give them COVID and watch them die...then cheer! the ignorant will never better themselves.
ReplyDeleteGurl, I gave up on these idiots the second Cheeto was named president. In that second I decided they were not worth my time.
DeleteI agree with the fate of the ignorants.
XOXO
I find I can no longer hold my temper in check with them. I'm not just pissed, I'm downright angry. Yesterday, we had the RNC lawyer making statements like this: "We will not allow the corrupt left" to install a man who will destroy our country. I believe she said "we will stop at nothing." They are increasingly calling for civil war; the Magats are showing up with assault weapons in front of private homes of Secretary's of State across the country. They are sending threatening texts and making threatening phone calls saying, "We're her and we're watching."
ReplyDeleteThe courts may - - ***may*** - - be able to ensure the outcome finds Biden being sworn in on Jan 20, but the Magats, the Trumpeters, the militia groups aren't going anywhere. As much as I hate to say it, Steve Bannon and Cheeto have completely destroyed the U.S. It's gone. It will not return unless we stop being nice guys. Biden wants to "move on." Nope. We allowed the Nixon, Reagan, and George W administrations get away because we thought it better to "move on and unite the country" and look where it got us.
In addition to what you've said to do? Should Dems manage to take control: Call on Congress to release the Grand Jury materials, release the unredacted Mueller Report, release every scrap of paper, every hint of the Cheeto admin's treachery. (**steps down off soapbox**)
Have a wonderful weekend. XOXO
I agree with all you said too. I think we're screwed already. My heads hurts. Biden needs to put balls to the wall with the Senate. If they start walking all over him it's done.
DeleteDems need to step it up.
DeleteSimple as that. The thing is, they play mostly by the rules. Have you noticed that the fuckery has come these four years from the Repugs and only the Repugs. We haven't even had a good sex scandal.
And I hope that they come down HARD on IMPOTUS.
Hard.
And @Maddie: Uncle Joe has been in the game for awhile. It'll take the repugs talent to bypass him.
XOXO
What we are dealing with here is a cult. Jim Jones style. As a matter of fact, a survivor of the Jim Jones massacre recently wrote an article stating exactly that... comparing the two. Trump is an idiot. But he is a DANGEROUS idiot. I remain terrified of these whackos. I fear just how far they will go. When I read what that militia group had planned (televised executions of elected officials) - I want, in my heart of hearts, to write it off - in order to maintain my own sense of safety and balance in my world, what they planned as mere puffery. But no, they are truly deranged killers. We can't ignore them or write them off. We need to accept the fact that we have terrorists living here, in the US. They are our cousins in Iowa. Our older brother in New Mexico. We have to accept this and take action. We must prosecute. We must pursue charges. The orange ogre and his minions have inflicted PTSD on so many of us... imprinted us with their reckless, dangerous actions. He's still doing it - sabotaging what's left before they drag his ass out of office. This is scary. And the only thing that will save us? VOTE. Be active. Have a voice. Call it out when you see it. Thanks for writing this, dear. We need to remain mindful and posts like this help us keep focus.
ReplyDeleteOh, Absolutely.
DeleteIt's what that article I linked said: it's all been done before with horrible consequences. And I fear the fact that stupidity in big numbers is dangerous. And I think I ALREADY have PTSD knowing that neighbors AND acquaintances are basically idiots prone to violence. It's a struggle.
And it does not end now. It starts. I'll keep telling people to vote and will keep the vigilance. The next Cheeto can be intelligent and then we'll be fucked.
XOXO
They are in a fantasy hate world. Nothing is going to change that. Even when he relocates to Moscow they will come up with some excuse. Hopefully, many of them will move there with him.
ReplyDeleteHe will be their president in exile.
DeleteOf course they live in their own bubble: one where the colored and the queers and the little women know their place. They live in 1958.
DeleteI cannot vanish the idiots to the tundra, so i'll vanish them from my life.
XOXO
America needs to study the techniques of cult deprogrammers to deal with MAGA fanatics. And even that might not work.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to take something like that. A tall order with a cult population in the tens of millions.
DeleteOh, it's going to be a struggle.
DeleteThe unwashed, racist, bigoted masses have had a taste of power an that's very difficult to beat. They'll try again. And again.
And we need to be there to stop their assess.
XOXO
I don't think this current mess is over by a long shot , and is going to get messy, very messy and very bloody. Im now hearing there are a couple things the Great Fukcktard can do...it would take A LOT, and many hurdles to get through, and he would target the states Biden won....a long shot, but if for some reason it would happen, democracy in this country is dead for good. And that he's still pursuing this and citizens don't care....is scary and appalling. I have a post coming, but still getting my thoughts together. I don't care, I said it once, Ill say it again...I don't play and waste space. I want him dead. I have never thought that of anyone. Someone needs to take that bastard out. No jail. I won't matter to him one bit. My mother swears he walks free and clean to Florida when his time is up with no jail time or pushiment, except fines. Is there no one to take him down?!?!?!?!?! Hence my just kill the sorry excuse...he's too dumb to know what he did. And us Democrats need to get back bone and stop the fucking pussy footing and make sure he is held accoutable...and I don't think Nancy will do it. I'm losing faith in her.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's going to get messier than messier, when Uncle Joe applies the brakes and the wheels of their fuckery come off. They're gonna drag their feet and Bitch McConnell is going to stonewall all he can stonewall.
DeleteNancy kept the Orange Idot at bay. Points for her.
And you and I, girl. You and I.
XOXO
I agree. There are people in what I call the sensible center who are reachable, but the real Trumpanzees are as brainwashed as people living in a propaganda-saturated totalitarian state. The hard-core ones think we're Satanic pedophile alien lizard people or dupes of same. They don't need outreach, they need something like the de-Nazification in post-World-War-II Germany.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like they're sitting around waiting for us to come to them and make nice, anyway. The right-wing blogs and sites I read are full of conspiracy theories and fantasies of armed violence. They still believe Hair Furor Agolf Twitler can pull this off and remain president. They're going to go completely apeshit when it doesn't happen.
Some of them may be reachable. Some of them have recognized they fucked up. Most of them had a taste of being openly xenophobic and racist and celebrated and they LIKED IT. Those are dangerous.
DeleteBecause the next demagogue is around the corner. And there's no way I'll extend an olive branch. Motherfuckers are dead to me.
XOXO
Good points, Sixpence. I am going to try and take the high road and be positive that we can come together again. But it is not going to be easy and we do have to deal with all of Trumpers. A boy can dream, right?
ReplyDeleteOh, Mr. Shife
DeleteYou are so much better man than I am. I hate the fuckers and there's no force on earth that'll make me try to convince them that they're wrong.
Nor they'd hear me, so no.
XOXO
Viewed from the outside and with an ocean in between, I can only say America will be great again WITHOUT your current IMPOTUS. But he has already said it: I am not capable of losing! And in fact this defect is seeing it all over the world. Yesterday I saw that in the virtual meeting with the twenty most industrialized countries, he said that he is very happy to work for a long time with the leaders of the various countries ...
ReplyDeleteHe’s an ass.
DeleteOh, Cheeto made a perfunctory appearance but he was golfing away the day.
DeleteIdiot. And the world knows it.
XOXO
