I Told You So, F***tards!

How many times did I say it? How many f***ing times? You, stupid, stupid, stupid people. I told you that Americans are simply too f***ing stupid to keep their f***ing democracy. Americans don’t want democracy; they want fascism, just like half the world does. Abortion rights were never going to save this election for Democrats because, once again, abortion rights are always someone else’s problem. Always! Always! Always! How many f***ing times have I said this? How many f***ing times? So many times that I’m sick of screaming it into the void! And women were never going to save democracy. America is too misogynistic and racist to elect a woman, sadly. Hate and fear always win over hope and joy. Christ-on-the-f***ing-Cross! What part of this do you morons not understand?!?! And lest we forget the well-worn adage: It’s the economy, stupid! Always and forever! Furthermore, RepubliKKKlans actually understand that it is better to be strong and wrong than weak and right. And, of course, this is who we are! We are a racist country that hates women in power and the “other” more generally. All these things (and more) I’ve been saying and warning about for years, but no one believed me! I hate to say I told you so, but I did — often and repeatedly. I understand this country. I’ve lived in it long enough, and we consistently take one step forward and two steps back like clockwork. It never f***ing fails! But this, my f***tards, this is two steps back from which we will never recover.

So, get ready, you f***ing morons of the highest f***ing order. You guys just killed your own democracy, and you’re not going to get it back. The end is here, and we’re just getting started with the hatred! The Democratic Party is in shambles and will be entirely incapable of fighting back against RepubliKKKlans. Mark my words and mark them well! I was right to warn you idiots about dictator don starting two years ago, and I will be right about America becoming a fascist country. However, there is one prediction I got wrong; it looks like Harris will not win the popular vote — incomprehensibly — and this only strengthens MAGA world’s resolve. So, America is royally screwed because now dictator don is going to rightly claim he has a mandate. To be sure, a convicted criminal is going to win in a landslide when all is said and done. I hate to break it to you, but that’s what this election was — a red tsunami! Christ! America is f***ed, and maybe we don’t deserve to keep our democracy. We did this to ourselves.

A second dictator don term is going to be just as bad as you think it will be. (Well, I mean for those paying attention, for clearly, the hoards of morons that voted for him are clueless.) I promise the next four years will be a disaster! And no one in this sh*t-for-brains country f***ing cares! No one! Because everyone always thinks dictator don’s threats and hateful vision of America don’t apply to them. They’re in for a rude awakening. America f***ed around is about to find out. Oh, well. Americans get the government they deserve and desire! Welcome to stupid America, the dumbest place on the planet. Next stop: Civil War II. Mark my words! I guess I’ll be using this blog to chronicle the demise of American democracy and the rise of American fascism. And, finally, may you live in interesting times! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jon Meacham Is a Sh*tty Historian!

Well, I heard it! I definitely heard it this morning on Morning Joe! Idiot boy Jon Meacham admitted that it took him too long to recognize that traitor trump is a threat to America’s democracy. Meacham was a guest on Morning Joe to help promote his op-ed in The New York Times, in which he stated, “When Donald Trump began his rise to power in 2015, he struck me as a dangerous but recognizable demagogue. … To me, Mr. Trump was a difference not of kind — we had long contended with illiberalism in America — but of degree. Since the Civil War, no figure with such illiberal views had ever actually won the White House. Then, he proved me wrong.” Of course, he was wrong because he’s a moron and sh*tty historian, so he put his stupidity in writing and advertised it on a morning political news show. Fantastic!

It’s sad, really, because listening to Meacham over the years on Morning Joe has not only been insufferable but has also turned me off to other T.V. historians (except for Ken Burns; he’s a historian’s historian), who I used to revere for their knowledge and wisdom. I can’t even listen to his contemporaries — Doris Kearns Goodwin, Michael Beschloss, and Douglas Brinkley — without a jaundiced view of their interpretation of history, which is unfair to them because those other historians genuinely do have a better sense of the present moment than moron Meacham. Thanks to him, I lump them all together, and I usually turn the channel when any of them appear on MSNBC or CNN. Today, though, I did not turn the channel and heard his confession of ignorance and naïveté. (You know, precisely those qualities one looks for in a historian worth his or her salt.)

It is this ignorance and naïveté that is so troubling in a historian to me. For what is a historian? In short — and in my own words — a historian is a storyteller. Not just any storyteller but an educated, knowledgable, well-researched, and analytical storyteller. Moreover, historians do not tell stories just for the hell of it. They tell meaningful stories. Relevant stories. Impactful stories. Meaningful, relevant, and impactful to the present and the future, for we cannot understand our future without knowing where we came from in the past. Yet historians have a more important function: They provide the context and analysis of past events, revealing their significance to the present. It is this historical importance to today that is noteworthy and was a bit of wisdom, which I never forgot, imparted to me by my favorite high school history teacher.

So, Meacham completely failed in this singular task of apprehending the importance of history to understand and recognize the present. For all the times he’s been on Morning Joe discussing traitor trump before, during, and after his presidency, he always gave traitor trump the benefit of the doubt. In some instances, he declared traitor trump’s shortcomings as merely being stumbles of someone learning on the job. Oh, yeah! He’s learning alright — all the wrong f***ing things. But I guess that’s not important. He was rarely critical of traitor trump. Meacham was more an appeaser than seeing traitor trump for who he was — a dictator in training. So, the question is this: How can a historian be trusted to tell stories if he is so clueless and blind to the rhymings of the past with today? The guy talks about totalitarianism, yet can’t see the signs in traitor trump because why? The signs aren’t significant enough? Does he think America is so “exceptional” that we can’t slip into fascism? Is he so blind that he can’t see traitor trump is not an anomaly but a symptom of a greater issue in America? History is rife with examples of societies undone by a strongman. Yet he thinks traitor trump means well but can’t shoot straight? Is that Meacham’s take on the guy (before his conversion)? The orange man is not dangerous, just incompetent. In the end, don’t buy Meacham’s f***ing books or trust his storytelling, for I’m sure he’ll spin a yarn about how Hitler was just a misunderstood failed painter who stumbled into the Holocaust. (Eh, don’t worry. It’s not important.)

Yes, Harris Has the Momentum in the Final Days, But…

Is it enough? I still think not, sadly. Perhaps I suffer from PTSD over Hillary’s loss in 2016 — a victory I never thought would come to pass; that was my first correct call in this traitor trump era of mass stupidity. Then, in 2020, I miscalled Biden’s loss. I guess you could say I’ve always thought traitor trump would win every election because he truly is the Everyman of Americans; people look in the mirror, see traitor trump, and fall in love with the reflection. Nonetheless, I’m still sticking with my gut in 2024. Perhaps I’m just being stubborn at this point, unwilling to take in new information, but I can’t shake the feeling that misogyny and racism are simply too great in America — still in the 21st Century — for Harris to overcome. I just don’t think there are enough angry women over the end of Roe to beat traitor trump on the margins in the “swing” states that count. Yes, women are the most reliable voting block. But there are plenty of women who really do want traitor trump as their protector. And, yes, young men — the cohort that traitor trump is doubling down his courtship, hoping to woo to the polling booth — are the least reliable voters. If I’m wrong, then I’ll be the first one to admit it, and perhaps this blog becomes moot. We’ll see.

No Vaccines for You!

According to NBC News, “Former President Donald Trump said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would have a ‘big role in the administration’ if he wins on Tuesday, telling NBC News in a phone interview that he was open to some of his more controversial ideas. Kennedy, who ran for president as an independent this year before dropping his bid and endorsing Trump, has long spread conspiracies and falsehoods about vaccines and other public health matters. He has, for example, frequently claimed that vaccines are linked to autism, even though for decades, studies have debunked this theory. Asked Sunday whether banning certain vaccines would be an option during a second term, the former president didn’t rule it out. ‘Well I’m going to talk to [Kennedy] and talk to other people, and I’ll make a decision, but he’s a very talented guy and has strong views,’ Trump said. Trump declined to talk about specific roles Kennedy might play in his administration, but in recent public appearances, Trump has made clear that he is envisioning a prominent role for him.”

This is where an immensely f***ing G.D. stupid country is about to f*** around and find out — the hard way. Let’s just be clear: Neither RFK nor traitor Trump will explicitly ban vaccinations, but they would withdraw FDA approval. And what does that mean? Well, it means insurance companies will no longer cover vaccines that are not approved by the FDA. I guess the question is, What vaccines will lose the government’s blessing? Surely, COVID. And maybe every other childhood vaccination. RFK thinks childhood vaccinations cause autism. (They don’t!) So, good luck with that, f***tards! I suppose people can get around unapproved drugs by invoking the Right to Try Act. In the meantime, a vaccine that was free or required a di minimus co-pay suddenly costs hundreds of dollars because the insurance companies can get away with charging exorbitant prices. So, much for lowering Rx prices. Parents — smart ones, at least — will still want their children to be vaccinated against diseases like polio! Make childhood diseases great again! This is the government you morons are about to elect. Fantastic! Did I mention the RFK is not even a medical doctor? Eh, whatever! Nothing matters! Welcome to stupid America!

The Traitor [T]rump Abortion Ban: Let Them Die!

Mika Brzezinski from Morning Joe, airing on MSNBC, has been doing daily segments highlighting the consequences of traitor trump’s abortion ban on women’s health in various states. (As an aside, I still haven’t forgiven Mika for her Hillary-bashing during the 2016 election.) In her special segments, she reports on the health impacts on pregnant women, ranging from sterilization to death, from states’ explicit abortion prohibitions or vague statutes that often leave doctors erring on the side of caution by delaying life-saving treatment until — in many cases — it’s too late for fear of breaking criminal law. ProPublica has been reporting on similar abortion stories, all in an effort to build awareness. Of course, this is all too little, too late, because awareness should have been stoked during the 2016 presidential election, yet it was not. This will come as no surprise to anyone who has been following my posts, but I welcome these tragic stories and the death of women, not because I’m a misogynist or cruel, but because this is the reality that this sh*t-for-brains country wanted. And, again, as I have so often said, people get the government they deserve and desire. Moreover, people should live with the consequences of their votes or actions. (I find it insufferably annoying that these abortion stories never report a woman’s political perspective or, more importantly, who they voted for to be President, Senator, or Representative. Elections matter, f***tards! If they voted for traitor trump, then why the f*** are they telling their story of woe? What they’re going through is precisely what they voted for. Full stop!)

As usual and right on cue, morons of America are surprised about the fallout from overturning Roe as if women dying is some unusual and unforeseen consequence of allowing the state to determine women’s medical care. What could possibly go wrong? Well … everything that is being reported in the news! This is a direct result of America simply being too f***ing G.D. stupid to comprehend … anything. And this goes for some Democrats as well, who thought RepubliKKKlan justices would never overturn Roe (But stare decisis! Christ! Kill me now!), nor would RepubliKKKlan politicians ever allow Roe to be compromised. All stupid, all the time. Ending abortion has been a 50-year crusade, and Democrats are surprised RepubliKKKlans jumped on the chance when they did; and people are surprised that women have been thrown back to a point in time before Roe, which is a distant memory for some and a completely new reality for most. It is this new reality that most interests me. It is no surprise to me the suffering befalling women; but, apparently, most women have been completely caught off guard. Yet, many (most) still don’t care. So, let them die. Oh, well, I say. When enough women die and when enough people have been impacted (i.e., parents, husbands, siblings), and when women take to the streets to demand equal justice under the law (Where are the regular “march for our lives” protests? Nowhere!), then maybe, just maybe something will change. But until that time, women will continue to suffer and die while everyone else shrugs.

And let me say something more. Women needing an abortion should not be allowed to travel to another (blue) state to get the procedure. F*** that! These women in red states need to fix their sh*tty state first instead of running off to a blue state to be free. I’m getting a little sick of residents in red states coming to blue states to get their equality while people in blue states have to collectively suffer from the decisions of those RepubliKKKlan politicians that red states send to Congress.

Oh, and another thing. I am so f***ing sick of people thinking every pregnancy is some miracle of perfection, that every fetus is viable, and that nature always produces optimal results. A misdeveloped fetus is no different than those funky-looking vegetables you might see at the grocery store or those other anomalies you might find in the wild: a lamb with a fifth leg, a snake with two heads, or Siamese twins. While these are examples of viable variations, imagine all the unviable instances. Am I being callous to equate fetus abnormalities to freaks of nature? No! It’s just a fact of life. I think people expect too much from modern medicine and technology. Everyone always thinks everything is fixable. Well, genetic problems in the fetus rarely are. A fetus where the organs develop outside of the abdominal cavity or where the head lacks a fully formed skull or where the fetus lacks limbs, as examples, are probabilistic errors in nature. Nothing more, nothing less. We’d be a lot better off if people understood that fetal abnormalities are merely a part of life (nature). Not every union of a sperm and ova produces a successful zygote. People should know that there is a good chance that a pregnancy may not come to fruition and stop being all upset, torn up, or overly protective of a fetus that may not develop correctly. It’s just nature taking its course. It’s no one’s fault. Accept it and move on; try again. Christ! Get a f***ing grip, people! Nature is imperfect, fatally so in many cases! Call it God’s will if you must!

Come at Me Bro!

On the off-chance that Harris wins, and I mean win definitively, as in well more than 270 electoral votes and beyond the blue wall, then I welcome MAGA morons rising up in protest and rebellion. I say bring it! For I welcome the coming slaughter of MAGA morons, RepubliKKKlans, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks that Biden — as commander-in-chief and protector of the union and Constitution — f***ing better unleash on these f***tards! (Eh, who am I kidding? He won’t!) So, I guess that’s when the real patriots must step in and do the work for Biden and the rest of the American people. And don’t worry. Liberals are well-armed, too. Don’t confuse MAGA morons and the like who must own dozens and dozens of weapons — any one of which can only be used one at a time — with Democrats and the like who may have fewer guns but understand that you can only shoot one gun well one at a time. If anything, MAGA morons’ arsenals are just asking to be raided.

Look, f***tards, I’ve been saying this for years now: Civil war is coming, and I welcome it. We’re not going to make the same mistake twice by allowing the red states et al. to lose and then welcome them back into the fold with open arms. Oooooh, hellllll f***ing no! We must vanquish MAGA morons, RepubliKKKlans, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks root and stem. We must wipe the country clean of these vermin. They are a cancer on the country that must be excised entirely. No mercy. No forgiveness. No compromise. Only vengeance and complete and utter destruction of these traitors. We can no longer live together, and I don’t want to live with these people in my country. I don’t want them as friends, neighbors, co-workers, or acquaintances. They are fascists. Period! End of story! Full stop! Welcome to stupid America! As I’ve repeatedly said, the end is coming. One way or another, for one side or the other!

The Ellipse vs MSG

As I watched Vice President Harris give her closing argument speech at the Ellipse last night, I slowly felt rage coming over me. As she laid out her vision of America and the nation’s future under her leadership, I felt my face getting flushed and my blood pressure rising. My anger was building and building. Was it because of her policy proposals? No. Her delivery style? No. Her willingness to reach across the aisle to work with RepubliKKKlans? No, not even this was the cause. I started getting angry because I could not help but ask, How in the f*** is this race even close?!?! How the f*** is this possible? How is it that America is so f***ing G.D. stupid that some people in the middle remain “undecided” about who is better for America? Really? Harris, on the one hand, and traitor Trump, on the other hand, and people are still f***ing confused? I can’t. I just f***ing can’t anymore. America is so f***ing doomed. No one f***ing cares! They just don’t. If the polls are to be believed — and they should be as a whole — then it is absolutely incomprehensible to me (it’s not really) that this sh*t-for-brains country (I answered my own questions) is about to f*** around with democracy and find the f*** out. You’ve been warned, morons! You’ve been warned. People get the government they deserve and desire. Just remember that. Welcome to stupid America!

It May Be the Democratic Party’s Demise

I keep hearing liberal pundits and other Democratic politicians claim that the RepubliKKKlan Party is on the verge of its demise if it keeps supporting traitor trump. But when traitor trump wins, I think the Democratic Party will be in peril. Now, now. I promise I am not a right-wing troll who claims to be a progressive yet constantly bashes Democrats. But I am an Independent who has never knowingly voted for a RepubliKKKlan in my life. I am a voter, nonetheless, who constantly laments that the Democratic Party has been woefully weak and inept most of my adult life. I’m not talking about policies; I’m talking about political ruthlessness. Today’s Democrats lack that cut-throat drive to win at all costs (bend the rules, but not the law), and it’s going to cost them this election and America’s democracy. They were not always so feckless, but somehow, over the last two or three decades, they have lost their will to win. I’m not talking about just the presidency; I’m talking about all levels of government: Locally, state-wide, and nationally, from school boards to state legislatures to Senators. I will say, though, that I’ve witnessed more fight in Harris in the last 100 days than I’ve seen in most Democratic presidents and presidential candidates in the last several cycles — combined. I’m not sure why it took Harris to inspire chants of “U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” at the Democratic conventions. We can say it without coming off as ultra-nationalistic while not being inherently xenophobic. And I’m not sure why it took a Harris candidacy to take back symbols of America, i.e., the American flag. It seems like Democrats have always been afraid of patriotism until Harris came along; it’s incomprehensible to me as to why Democrats let RepubliKKKlans take exclusive ownership of patriotism. But it’s too little, too late.

My gripes with the Democratic Party are nothing new coming from me. I’ve complained about Biden almost from the very start of his presidency about how weak of a leader he’s been. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was the beginning, and it has been all downhill from there. Sure, Biden had his moments, namely the Ukraine-Russian war, but even then, my praise is qualified because I think he and the West, in general, have been too cautious, too measured, and too reluctant. As I’ve said countless times before, Biden and the West have never been interested in Ukraine winning the war; they just want Ukraine not to lose. But I’m getting a bit off base here.

To be sure, Biden has achieved substantial legislative victories, but what good are these victories if the general public thinks everything else about his presidency has evinced weakness? Weak! Weak! Weak! That’s not just my opinion; that’s the collective opinion of the citizenry. All political and legislative success is quickly forgotten if the average Joe and Jane think the president and his party are feeble. Once again, Bil Clinton got it right and understood the mindset of America best when he said, “It is better to be strong and wrong than weak and right.” It’s not that f***ing complicated, folks! Traitor trump understands, perhaps a bit too well!

When Harris loses to traitor trump, the questioning will no longer be focused on if and when the RepubliKKKlan Party dies, for winning parties don’t need to be remade, but losing parties do. A Democratic Party that loses to the RepubliKKKlan Party, which has morphed into a winning fascist movement, must really look in the mirror and ask, How did we allow this to happen? What did we get wrong, and how did we miscalculate the country so severely? Legitimate questions. Democrats must re-evaluate themselves drastically. I think the Democratic Party must die and be reborn as a consequence because whatever they’ve been doing since the end of President Clinton’s administration just hasn’t been all that effective. Again, don’t completely misunderstand me; there have been tremendous accomplishments under Democratic leadership, but somewhere along the line, they’ve become really good at inconsistently winning D.C. and even better at routinely losing the heartland. That’s a problem!

Capitalism Will Not Survive

One thing I keep hearing with these MSM interviews with “voters” and what I keep seeing in the polls is this notion that traitor trump will be better for the economy. Never mind the less-than-stellar performance of the economy under traitor trump’s administration. COVID aside, his economic performance was okay. Yes, he was president when the stock market hit all-time highs. Just as President Biden has been in office while those all-time highs continue, besting traitor trump. To be sure, if you wanted to get rich in the stock market, then Biden made you more prosperous than traitor trump ever did. But that’s usually lost on — well — everyone. Traitor trump’s unemployment rate during his administration was on par — not that much better, not that much worse (including COVID) — with his contemporaries. GDP growth was fair to middlin’. He blew up the national debt, but, as usual, f***tards of America only seem to care about the debt when a Democrat is in the White House; otherwise, it’s “What national debt?” Of course! It never f***ing fails with people in this country; citizens invariably misattribute good economies to RepubliKKKlans and wrongly blame bad economies on Democrats when the exact opposite is true.

Yet the real irony is that people in this sh*t-for-brains country like to think that fascist/authoritarian governments can sustain a thriving capitalist economy. Here’s the short answer for the f***tards out there: Not! All one needs to do is look to other dictatorships: Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. I’ll exclude China for now because that is an authoritarian, communist country that makes their version of “capitalism” work by stealing intellectual property from the West, by the Communist Party having their hand in every company, by the West having a burning desire to gain access to a market of 1.4 billion people, and by being the country that has the cheapest labor resources on the planet. To be sure, China’s version of “capitalism” relies on a vast class of the working poor. Their economic engine relies on poor workers and a government that subsidizes whatever aspect of the economy they want to support or enhance competiveness globally. They simply play by a different set of rules and get away with it because the West is in love with their cheap labor and population of consumers who are not poor. Don’t get me started on economic nationalism. But I digress.

Our new economy under a traitor trump second term will look more like Putin’s Russia, where kleptocracy and cronyism define and govern the rules of the road. Musk and other RepubliKKKlan billionaires are already proof of this. Yet, once again, morons of America think they’ll be the beneficiaries of billionaires’ crumbs. And don’t give me the excuse that he didn’t ruin capitalism the first time in office. You stupid, stupid people! You’re so f***ing dumb! His first term in office was merely practice, and he never realized his power potential until the fourth year. Now that traitor trump knows what he can get away with and better understands the type of people he must surround himself with, he’ll absolutely destroy American capitalism for his own gains and to appease the uber-rich, who also — ironically — think that a failing economy works better for them. He will pick the winners and losers of industries. The winners will suck up to him and pay him tribute — literally — while the losers will find themselves under DOJ investigations and subject to more government red tape than ever before. You know, that red tape he keeps promising to eliminate. Of course, he only means that for the companies willing to play his game. Mark my words, f***tards! For in this game, the average Joe and Jane are no where in his calculus. You idiots will just be causalities on the checkerboard, and he won’t care. No RepubliKKKlan will care. I promise you, prosperity does not trickle down in a kleptocracy. Wealth will only be further concentrated at the top. But inflation!

Oh, yes! F***ing inflation! You supremely stupid people of the highest f***ing order only care about inflation. Inflation! Inflation! Inflation! (Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!) When it comes to inflation, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Everything traitor trump espouses on the campaign trail is inflationary, but for whatever reason, idiot voters can’t seem to comprehend this. For one, blanket tariffs will be inflationary. Full stop. (Maybe I’ll write a post just on this topic because the vast majority of voters — and traitor trump — really have no idea what tariffs are or how they work. Hint: The governments of exporting countries don’t pay the tariffs.) Also, mass deportation of “illegals,” as he promises to do, will destroy America’s cheap labor force. Absolutely f***ing destroy it. How do you think that will impact the economy when suddenly jobs go unfulfilled? When there is no one to do the jobs that migrants do? Do you think the average lazy American will fill those jobs for the same pay that migrants were willing to be paid? Nope. Americans will demand more money or not work. Either way, these are inherently inflationary outcomes (in the short run). In the long run, equilibrium will eventually restore the balance between aggregate price inflation and aggregate wage inflation (just like wages kept up with prices post-COVID), but there is going to be a lot of pain in the meantime associated with a shock to the system as workers are rounded up and removed from the workforce. Indeed, it may happen sooner rather than later. If traitor trump is declared the winner, immigrants may self-deport immediately to avoid concentration camps. We may have a situation where people just disappear themselves as if the Rapture started without the true believers. But you can’t explain this to the average idiot voter because the vast majority of Americans have never taken an Econ 101 class. Yet, everyone thinks they’re a f***ing economist because they understand gas prices. Un-f***ing-believable! This is the world of stupidity I live in. Oh, well. Whatever. Welcome to stupid America, just as dumb as one expected it to be and no smarter.
