Welcome to Stupid America!

I thank Claude for reading my mind in the following creation.

Let us not be sentimental about this. Sentimentality is precisely the disease we are diagnosing. The decline of baseball as America’s pastime and the explosive rise of mixed martial arts are not merely a story about changing entertainment preferences, as if we simply traded one flavor of ice cream for another. They are a cultural confession — a document signed in blood and pay-per-view revenue that tells us, with brutal clarity, what we have decided to become. A people that once organized its summers around a game of elegant patience and collective ritual has chosen, in the span of a single generation, to spend its leisure hours watching human beings choke each other unconscious in a steel cage. This is not a footnote. This is the headline. The question is not whether we should mourn baseball. The question is what it means that we don’t.

* * *

Baseball was, at its core, a game of consequence deferred. Its entire architecture was built on the interval — the space between pitch and swing, between at-bat and inning, between opening day and October. It rewarded the fan who understood that a single game was almost meaningless, that a season was a slow argument made across one hundred and sixty-two nights, that a championship was the accumulated result of hundreds of small decisions made correctly under pressure over months. It was, in other words, a game that trained its audience in the discipline of democratic citizenship: the understanding that outcomes are determined not by any single dramatic moment but by the grinding accumulation of effort, judgment, and institutional trust.

That is not what America wants anymore. That is not what we are building. Look at our politics and tell me, with a straight face, that we are a people still capable of appreciating the slow argument. We have traded the senator for the pundit, the floor debate for the televised ambush, the platform for the tweet. We have decided that the only political moment worth having is the knockout — the clip that goes viral, the mic drop, the opponent humiliated, the enemy destroyed in real time before a live audience that has come not to deliberate but to watch somebody get finished.

“We have decided that the only political moment worth having is the knockout. The cage and the chamber have become interchangeable.”

The UFC and our political culture are not analogies. They are the same phenomenon wearing different uniforms. Both sell the promise of total dominance. Both have elevated the trash-talking pre-fight press conference — the ritual humiliation of the opponent before the violence begins — to an art form that often eclipses the contest itself. Both reward the man who can make his enemy look weak in front of a crowd. Both have systematically devalued anything that cannot be reduced to a highlight. The cage and the legislative chamber have become interchangeable spaces, each one full of men performing aggression for an audience that has been conditioned to read restraint as weakness and de-escalation as defeat.

Consider what MMA actually rewards, at the level of pure mechanics. It rewards the capacity to impose your will on another person’s body by force. It rewards the ability to tolerate pain long enough to inflict greater pain. It rewards the man who can take a human limb and bend it past the point where the joint will hold. These are genuine athletic skills — let us not be naive about the discipline and courage required — but they are skills organized entirely around the project of physical domination. The sport ends when one person cannot continue. The victory condition is the opponent’s incapacity.

Now look at our politics. Not the politics of twenty years ago, not some idealized version — look at the politics we actually have. The victory condition is the opponent’s incapacity. The goal is not to persuade but to destroy, not to govern but to humiliate, not to build coalitions but to break the other side’s will to resist. We have imported the logic of the octagon into every institution we possess. The Senate floor. The school board meeting. The local zoning hearing. Everywhere the same performance: two sides, one winner, and a crowd that has been told there is honor in finishing the fight.

This is not hyperbole. Political violence — actual physical violence, the kind that used to be confined to the edges of American life — has moved to the center. Not because Americans have suddenly become more evil, but because we have spent a generation marinating in a cultural ecosystem that aestheticizes dominance and pathologizes compromise. When the most popular sport in the country is built on the premise that disputes are resolved by choking someone until they tap out, do not be surprised when a meaningful portion of the population begins to apply that logic to disputes that are not, in fact, sporting events.

* * *

Baseball, for all its many failures — and they were real, and they were significant — had a different premise at its center. The game punished the man who swung at everything. The disciplined hitter, the one who could take a ball off the plate, who could foul off a two-strike pitch until the pitcher made a mistake, who could work a walk when the game needed a walk — this man was valued. The walk does not appear on the highlight reel. It does not generate a clip. It does not trend. But it scores runs. It wins games. It wins pennants. It builds, across a long season, the kind of patient advantage that eventually overwhelms the team that was trying to hit home runs every time up.

We do not have a politics that values the walk. We do not have a media environment that covers it. We do not have an electorate that rewards it. We have built, brick by brick, a culture that treats patience as passivity, compromise as betrayal, and incremental progress as a sign that your side lacks the killer instinct. We have built, in short, a culture in which no one wants to work the count. Everyone is up there hacking, trying to end the at-bat in one swing, because waiting — because the slow accumulation of advantage — has come to feel like losing.

“The disciplined hitter who could work a walk, who could foul off a two-strike pitch — this man was valued. We do not have a politics that values the walk.”

And so we lose. Not in any single election, not in any single season, but in the way that teams lose when they abandon process for swagger: gradually at first, then completely.

* * *

The defenders of MMA will say — and they are not entirely wrong — that the sport is a mirror, not a cause. That the violence was always there, that MMA simply made it visible, that polite society’s preference for baseball was never really about virtue but about the comfortable distance between the bourgeois fan in the bleachers and the violence being done in the ghetto, in the slaughterhouse, in the wars fought by other people’s children. There is real force to this argument. Baseball’s pastoral mythology has always laundered a great deal of ugliness. The cornfields and the cathedral light and the fathers-and-sons sentimentality were never the whole story of who we were.

But a mirror, held up long enough, becomes a window. And a window, left open long enough, becomes a door. The argument that we are only reflecting what was always there ignores the basic fact of cultural feedback: that what we celebrate, we amplify; that what we reward, we produce more of; that a society organized around the aesthetics of dominance and submission will generate, in time, a politics that operates on exactly those terms. We are not simply revealing our nature. We are training it.

We are training a generation of citizens on the grammar of the cage: that there are two people in every conflict, that one of them must lose, that the crowd is there to watch the losing happen, and that mercy is a thing you show only when the referee forces you to. We are then expressing shock — performative, unconvincing shock — when that grammar begins to structure our encounters with political opponents, with neighbors, with institutions, with the very idea of a shared republic.

* * *

Baseball’s last gift to us, if we are willing to take it, is the knowledge that the game is never over. The trailing team always has its outs remaining. The comeback is always structurally possible. The game, by its own internal rules, cannot simply be run out. This is what made it the right sport for a democratic republic — the encoded insistence that the minority retains its chance, that the final out has not been recorded, that the score at this moment is not the score that will stand.

We are discarding that logic. We are replacing it with a sport whose entire purpose is to make the other person stop. And we should be honest, at last, about what that tells us — not about our entertainment preferences, not about our attention spans, not about the business strategies of sports leagues — but about our appetite for each other. About what we have decided our fellow citizens are for.

They are not opponents in a long game. They are enemies in a cage. And the crowd did not come to watch with deliberation. The crowd came to watch someone get finished.

There is no more perfect demonstration of the baseness and benightedness of American culture than the upcoming UFC event at the White House. Only in this sh*t-for-brains country — The United States of America — is mixed martial “arts” fighting elevated to a spectacle that the hoards of f***tards will openly and proudly embrace and relish as entertainment to relieve themselves of the daily reminder that their lives suck under this RepubliKKKlan reign (of terror). This is WWE for the 21st century.

It’s impossible not to reflect on the fall of Rome as a comparison to the present. The Roman satirist Juvenal, writing in the early 2nd century AD, coined the phrase panem et circenses — bread and circuses — to describe what the Roman ruling class had figured out: that a populace stripped of genuine political power could be kept docile, even enthusiastic, with enough free grain and enough spectacular entertainment. The Colosseum didn’t just host gladiatorial games. It was a political instrument — a place where emperors demonstrated their munificence, reinforced hierarchies, and redirected public energy that might otherwise have pointed toward the Senate, the courts, or the palace itself. The genius of the system was that it felt like a gift. The crowd roared. They loved their emperor (read: Dictator Don) for it.

Rome’s decline was not a single dramatic collapse. It was a long, slow erosion — of civic institutions, of checks on executive power, of the idea that the state existed to serve something beyond the vanity of whoever happened to be holding power at any given moment. The games didn’t cause the fall. But they were a symptom of the same disease: a political culture that had learned to substitute sensation for governance, loyalty for citizenship, and spectacle for accountability. The late empire didn’t lack for entertainment. It lacked for everything else.

What makes UFC Freedom 250 worth scrutinizing is the staging: a sitting president converting the symbolic seat of American democratic government into a private event venue, wrapped in patriotic branding, timed to his own birthday, with the gates largely closed to the public he ostensibly serves. The Washington Monument as a backdrop. The Lincoln Memorial as a weigh-in stage. The iconography of the republic as set dressing for a pay-per-view. Juvenal would recognize the move immediately. Did I mention that this UFC extravaganza coincides with Dictator Don’s birthday? This only reinforces the notion of praising the Führer. It’s hardly a celebration of America’s birth; it’s an adulation of The Don’s! birth.

But whatever! Humanity has been here before: Panem et Circenses. Nothing ever changes, except the technology of the times; for Rome, it was the Colosseum, for America, it’s a cage on the White House’s South Lawn. How apropos! “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9, KJV). Human nature has never changed and will never change. It’s one long doom loop of stupidity and idiocracy, followed by even greater stupidity and idiocracy. And no one cares! Welcome to stupid America! I expected nothing less!

According to CBS News, “Iran’s IRIB state TV network reported Wednesday that it had ‘obtained’ a draft of the ‘Islamabad Framework’ – a memorandum of understanding taking shape with the U.S. that would see the countries agree to extend their ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while also launching direct negotiations on more contentious matters. … It said the draft includes a commitment from the U.S. to lift its blockade of Iranian ports and vessels. In return, Iran would restore the flow of commercial shipping through the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, through the Strait of Hormuz, to pre-war levels within one month.”

This is the deal that Dictator Don has been waiting for; essentially, a return to the status quo before the bombing started: Reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy from its blockade of Iran. Of course, this is followed by a “commitment” to discuss all the other points of a “peace deal,” which The Don! will eventually allow to fade into the background. I promise that once the Strait is open, he’ll lose (along with voters and the MSM) all interest in the situation he created. Negotiations will drag on for the rest of his term, neither advancing nor retreating. As I said weeks ago, this war is over. No one wants to fight, and the “peace” will look remarkably identical to 27 February 2026 — a quiet, persistent tension in the region, but nothing about which anyone is willing to do something to resolve. Nothing is ever going to be done about hampering Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It was never a genuine concern of The Don! anyway, no matter how many times he professed it was. Just ask Iranians about his commitment to liberate the country from a theocracy. In short, back to the way it ever was. Dictator Don slinks away from yet another disaster unscathed. Fan-f***ing-tastic! Whatever!

And no one will care. Once again, Dictator Don creates a mess, and everyone else has to live with the consequences and clean up his mess, never holding him accountable. So, the other Gulf States will have to manage living in proximity to an increasingly hostile and agitated Iran that feels more emboldened to flex its political and war-making powers. Good luck with that. As for Israel, well, Bibi just has to live with The Don! walking away, resolving nothing. And right on cue, Bibi will, no doubt, praise the Idiot-in-Chief for God knows what as the usual boot-licking parting gift. As for domestic criticism of Dictator Don’s failed war and Iranian policy, I say this: What critics? Enough said. Ask Cornyn how his criticisms of The Don! worked out. No one will cross El Duce.

The ultimate kicker is that all this will happen in time for oil and gas prices to return to “norm” just before the 2026 midterm elections, and voters will forgive it all. This, I promise you. It never f***ing fails because voters have the memory of a gold fish, and every f***tard voter looks at gas prices and thinks they’re a f***ing economist. Thus, low prices at the pump mean El Duce is great, and everything is humming along, so let’s keep RepubliKKKlans in the halls of power to do even more destruction. And don’t believe those “analysts” and “experts” who say gas prices will not return to pre-war levels until 2027. That is stupid thinking. Granted, they will not fall like a rock once the Strait is open, as the Idiot-in-Chief asserts. Gas prices will drop at roughly the same pace at which they rose. The average gas price has dropped by $0.10 over the past week amid rumors of a (flawed) deal, while the U.S. and Iran are still exchanging light fire. Dropped on nothing happening! Thus, prices will retreat faster than expected, and the short-term impacts on the economy will be quickly forgotten; the long-term consequences will never materialize. As I said, all will be forgiven just as voters forgave and forgot everything Dictator Don did before he got re-elected. Mark my words, morons. Mark them well! Never mind that America lost this war to Iran. How embarrassing, and no one gives a f***! Wow! MAGA! Am I right? Happy days are soon to be here again, because of course. The Don! always gets away with it. Always! Welcome to stupid America! And now, on to Cuba!

Texas Democrats, put down your yard signs. Fold up your canvassing maps. Return that rented bus. Ken Paxton — impeached, investigated, Dictator Don-endorsed, and running on fumes of pure audacity — is going to win the Texas Senate seat in November. Allow me to detail just a few reasons why Dumbacrats are, once again and forever, getting high on their own supply of hopeium. They’ll never learn until the Democratic Party realizes it needs to be razed and reimagined into a political force with the ruthlessness and desire to consistently win everywhere, not just sometimes in a few places.

He Survived Being Impeached. That’s Actually a Superpower. Most politicians, upon being impeached by their own party for allegedly accepting bribes and abusing the power of their office, might reflect, reconsider, or at a minimum take a spa day. Paxton was impeached in 2023 for allegedly accepting bribes and abusing the power of his office — and responded by running for higher office. This is not a liability. This is an origin story. In Texas, getting impeached and surviving is the political equivalent of bench-pressing a truck. Voters love a man who cannot be stopped by accountability.

A Court Handed His Accusers $6.6 Million. Surely That Helps. A judge awarded $6.6 million to whistleblowers who reported Paxton to the FBI. What does this tell us? Ken Paxton generates economic activity. Jobs were created. Lawyers were paid. A whole ecosystem of accountability proceedings flourished under his watch. This is stimulus spending. Democrats claim to care about workers — well, those whistleblower attorneys have mortgages too.

Dictator Don Endorsed Him, and That Is Simply That. The Don! endorsed Paxton, dealing a massive political blow to longtime Sen. John Cornyn. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, he said that Paxton has been “extremely loyal” to him and the MAGA movement. Loyalty. In Texas. To El Duce. It’s like finding out your horse has a turbo engine. Democrats can’t out-loyal this. They’ve tried running on healthcare, voting rights, and climate — none of which are turbo engines. Because no one cares about those pesky fundamental rights and issues.

The Democrat Running Against Him Is Polling Ahead, Which Is Irrelevant. Yes, yes. A University of Texas poll shows Democrat James Talarico winning by 8 points in a Paxton matchup, and Texas Public Opinion Research shows Talarico leading by 5 points against Paxton. But ask yourself: Have you met Texas? Polls in Texas are a form of performance art. They exist to give Democrats feelings, which they will then have, and then lose. This is a tradition.

Even Texas RepubliKKKlans Are Worried. Adorable. Texas RepubliKKKlans have expressed concern about how Paxton would fare in the general election. One Texas state representative said that “Ken Paxton would be a disaster for Texas conservatives!” Concern noted. Filed and shredded! This is the same state that has repeatedly re-elected Paxton despite the FBI referrals, the impeachment, the whistleblowers, and what can only be described as a highlight reel of alleged misconduct. “Concern” in Texas is what happens right before people vote for him anyway. But of course! I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Then We Have the Tried and True Christian Hypocrisy, Which They Roundly Ignore. Ken Paxton, a proud champion of Christian family values, has built his political brand on defending the sanctity of marriage — other people’s marriages, specifically. A fierce culture warrior who has attended Stonebriar Community Church, Paxton has never let a well-documented extramarital affair with a younger political donor slow his roll as Texas’s foremost moral guardian. Indeed, his ability to sue states over LGBTQ rights, invoke Scripture in press releases, and simultaneously conduct a years-long affair with a woman he helped get a job is a kind of theological multitasking that most Christians simply lack the stamina for. In Paxton’s Texas, “thou shalt not commit adultery” is less a commandment and more a loose suggestion — one that applies firmly to everyone except the man enforcing it. His constituents, bless their hearts, have rewarded this breathtaking hypocrisy with multiple election victories, proving that in Texas, waving a Bible matters considerably more than reading one!

Texas Democrats: You have a compelling candidate, favorable polling, a historically bad opponent with a historically bad record, and genuine momentum. Which means, statistically, you’re right on schedule for a demoralizing near-miss that will be written up as “could Texas be turning blue?” in a magazine that nobody in Texas will read. Ken Paxton will win because Texas gonna Texas. And if he doesn’t — I guess I’ll be wrong. Welcome to stupid America! Fat, stupid, and corrupt! Yee-haw!

So, I cheated on this post and used AI, but it’s fair to say that The Don! has explicitly claimed that a peace agreement or breakthrough with Iran was close, within reach, or “largely negotiated” at least six distinct times since the joint U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran began on February 28, 2026. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  His statements have repeatedly shifted between imminent peace declarations and threats of renewed military action. [3] 

Timeline of the Dictator Don’s “Close to a Deal” Claims:

• Late March 2026 (The 15-Point Plan): Trump stated that the U.S. and Iran were “in negotiations right now” and claimed Tehran was eager to make a peace deal after intermediaries delivered a 15-point ceasefire proposal. Iran publicly dismissed the terms as “excessive.”
• April 1, 2026 (The “Blasting” Ultimatum): Trump claimed Iran had actively asked the U.S. for a ceasefire. He stated the U.S. would consider it only once the Strait of Hormuz was opened. Iranian officials called the claim “false and baseless.”
• April 14, 2026 (The Two-Day Resumption): Trump told reporters that U-S.-Iran peace talks were on the verge of resuming “in the next two days.”
• April 17, 2026 (The Hormuz Signal): Trump signaled that a deal was “very close,” coinciding with a temporary local announcement that Iran would lift its blockade on shipping.
• May 18, 2026 (The Delayed Attack): Trump announced he had delayed a scheduled major airstrike against Iran for “two or three days” because Gulf allies informed him they were “getting very close to making a deal.”
• May 23–24, 2026 (The “Largely Negotiated” Framework): Trump posted on Truth Social that a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to peace had been “largely negotiated” and that final details would be announced shortly. However, less than 24 hours later, following heavy criticism from Republican senators, Trump partially walked back the urgency, posting he would not “rush into a deal.” [1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13] 

According to updates from Fox News, White House officials report that a framework agreement is “95% there,” but Trump has given negotiators a “5 to 7 day” window to address key sticking points regarding Iran’s nuclear stockpile and permanent sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media has labeled Trump’s latest claims of an imminent final agreement as “inconsistent with reality.” [4, 14, 15] 

Now, back to my commentary. What’s more infuriating is that the MSM fails every single f***ing time to report on this “news” critically. The Idiot-in-Chief gets ahead of his skis by tweeting or announcing something that turns out to be a lie, and the MSM immediately goes into “breaking news” mode: “Trump says a deal with Iran is near.” Rather than being skeptical of yet another baseless claim, the MSM just repeats whatever The Don! says, spending air time speculating about the details of the agreement instead of first calling B.S.! They never mention that Dictator Don has misled the public no less than six times about “ending” the war. Invariably, Dictator Don has to walk back his previous statements. It’s an endless cycle of crying wolf, yet the MSM and public never learn. It’s only after Iran provides a more accurate assessment of negotiations by declaring, “Um, not so fast,” that everyone’s expectations return to Earth. What a joke! Welcome to stupid America!

As Dictator Don successfully forced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, morons of America still fail to apprehend how he is a fascist. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to listen to f***tard MAGA morons call a talk radio show and demand an example of how The Don! is acting like a fascist. Well, here’s a good start.

In the early years of the Third Reich, comedians and cabaret performers were among the first cultural figures targeted because satire threatened the regime’s image of absolute authority. The Nazis understood that jokes could undermine fear, expose hypocrisy, and weaken propaganda.

• After Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Third Reich in 1933, the government rapidly censored cabarets, theaters, radio programs, and newspapers that contained political humor or criticism.
• Independent cabaret culture in cities like Berlin — famous during the Weimar Republic for sharp political satire — was dismantled. Venues were closed or forced into ideological conformity.
• Jewish comedians, writers, and performers were removed from public life under racial laws. Many lost jobs immediately; others fled into exile, were imprisoned, or later murdered in concentration camps.
• Satire directed at Nazi leaders became a criminal offense. Telling anti-Nazi jokes could lead to arrest by the Gestapo.
• The regime used broad laws against “malicious gossip,” “defeatism,” and “undermining the morale of the people” to prosecute humor critical of the state.
• Informants played a major role. Ordinary citizens sometimes reported neighbors, coworkers, or performers for repeating jokes about Hitler or the war effort.
• Some comedians were imprisoned in camps such as Dachau concentration camp for political dissent or “degenerate” art.
• The Nazis replaced independent comedy with approved entertainment that promoted nationalism, obedience, antisemitism, and militarism. Humor was allowed only if it reinforced state ideology.
• Performers who stayed in Germany often self-censored heavily to survive professionally and physically.
• Exiled German comedians and writers continued anti-Nazi satire abroad, especially in Britain and the United States, helping shape international criticism of Hitler’s regime.

One of the most famous examples outside Germany was Charlie Chaplin, whose film The Great Dictator mocked Hitler and fascism directly at a time when many were still reluctant to do so publicly. Look, America is just too f***ing G.D. stupid to learn from history, let alone muster the trenchant capacity to see what’s unfolding around them. America is blindly and willingly welcoming American-style fascism to its shores. And no one cares. Welcome to stupid America! First, they came for the comedians!

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. And guess what? No one gives a f***! A $1.776 billion slush fund “settlement” to “compensate” January 6 insurrectionists, of which, no doubt, The Don! will extract his cut. And then couple the “settlement” with language that restricts the IRS from auditing the entire Trump family forever, and it only begs the question: What further family corruption are they hiding? Un-f***ing-believable! (And do you think if Dumbacrats, by some miracle of God, reclaim the presidency, would recind the “settlement”? Not! They’ll honor it because — “decorum,” “tradition,” “norms,” “guardrails.” We are so f***ed!)

But wait! There is more! Dictator Don openly trades stock on insider information — trades he makes upon announcing market-changing policies like tariffs — to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Or $1 billion for ballroom to fund alleged “security” measures. Really? He needs to spend twice as much on security precautions as on the estimated cost of building said ballroom? Give me a break. Whatever happened to those NGO donations to cover the cost of ballroom so that taxpayers wouldn’t have to foot the bill? Again, this is just another means by which Dictator Don and his family can pocket millions — billions — of dollars, and no one cares. Only in this sh*t-for-brains country does such obscene criminality get a pass. You f***tards literally re-elected a criminal back into office, and somehow expected a criminal not to crime? Dictator Don called for an insurrection to attack the Capitol, and that ever-so-brief moment of collective national indignation went right down the memory hole in 2024. America is utterly lost. There is no coming back from this. But whatever!

Do you know why Americans don’t care about such blatant corruption? Because deep down, America itself is corrupt, populated by a corrupted citizenry. Too many people in America, at their very core, are corrupt — morally corrupt, intellectually corrupt, fiscally corrupt. You name it! Every aspect of an American’s life is somehow corrupted. This is why Americans shrug their shoulders in the face of The Don’s! fleacing of America’s treasury. Not only do Americans brush off such theft, but they also admire him; they envy his ability, wishing they could get away with the same level of stealing. If Americans could, they would, because they think everyone else is corrupt. How many times must I repeat myself before you morons get it? How many f***ing times? Dictator Don is and always has been the mirror upon which the average American gazes, besotted by its reflection. That’s how and why Dictator Don can steal Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars, and the people do nothing. They remain quiet. The simmering revolution is nowhere to be found. Not even a hint of consternation. Just quiet resignation and acceptance — as usual. Welcome to stupid America! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It has long been debated that RepubliKKKlans are inherently dumber than Democrats. For me, of course, it is not debatable. RepubliKKKlans are f***ing idiots of the highest f***ing order, along with the rest of their ilk — MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks. They’re all the same, just subdivided differently. While the priorities in these cliques may differ somewhat but mostly overlap, the part of the Venn diagram that converges 100 percent is their low I.Q.s., which, let’s face it, borders on mental retardation. Recall, Dictator Don loves the “poorly educated.” Couple the poorly educated with learning disabilities that define 99 percent of RepubliKKKlans et al., and you get a dysfunctional administration and RepubliKKKlan-led Congress that can’t get anything done except tax cuts for the rich while stripping healthcare away from the rest of us and stimulating inflation. Fan-f***ing-tastic!

I contend that Fetterman is a prime case study — a before and after — of how a person went from a progressive to a DINO, with his stroke (aka brain damage) defining the key event of demarcation. However, let me be very specific about my thesis here: RepubliKKKlans et al. seem to be born morons. Sadly, they are inherently stupid. Whereas Fetterman, through his stroke and ensuing brain damage, has become beguiled and bewildered by conservative beliefs. Perhaps these are innate tendencies Fetterman has always had, and the stroke released his inner self. Who knows exactly.

So, he ran on and entered Congress as a “man of the people,” who would bring his brand of progressive ideals to the Senate. Before he entered Congress — before the onset of brain damage — as Lieutenant Governor and chair of the state’s Board of Pardons, Fetterman led a high-profile, progressive effort to grant clemency to wrongfully convicted individuals and reduce mass incarceration; he consistently championed equal protection for the LGBTQ+ community. In 2013, he defied a Pennsylvania state law by officiating same-sex marriages in his home; he backed progressive economic stances, such as raising the minimum wage, establishing equal rights protections, and implementing a natural gas severance tax to fund community programs. In short, throughout his career prior to arriving in Congress, Fetterman aligned with Bernie Sanders-style progressivism, advocating heavily for criminal justice reform, universal healthcare concepts, and labor rights. In terms of his voting record, during the 118th Congress (2023-2024), he voted with the Democratic party majority roughly 91-97 percent of the time, with occasional party-line breaks — especially his staunch support of Israel and his willingness to cross the aisle on government funding resolutions.

Then, The Don! returns to office, accompanied by a RepubliKKKlan-led Congress. And what happens? His worsening brain damage finds his “thinking” more in line with MAGA moron causes. So, in the 119th Congress (2024-present), Fetterman’s voting alignment with Trump and Republican priorities surged, with some legislative trackers showing him voting with the President between 26-27 percent of the time; he became the lone Senate Democrat to cross party lines to support or advance the confirmation of several controversial Trump cabinet nominees, including supporting a procedural vote for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and voting to confirm Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin; he was the only Senate Democrat to reject a war-powers resolution limiting President Trump’s ability to strike Iran. Moreover, Fetterman has been attacking his own party. With the most notable, egregious comment, “Well, I mean, you know, in 2016, it was much more about the minimum wage and some other very basic kinds of thing. And now that’s, that’s just turned into much more standing with like Cuba, standing with Venezuela, standing with the Iranian regime and, and turn that into much more becoming more increasingly anti-American for me. So, my views really haven’t changed that much [emphasis added].” Anti-American? Seriously?!?! Democrats are now the anti-American party? Criticizing Dictator Don’s actions against sovereign nations like Venezuela and Cuba is not “standing” with those nations. It’s not anti-American. And being against an unsanctioned war against Iran is also not anti-American.

He may not be in lock-step with RepubliKKKlans, but he sure does appear to like what Dictator Don and RepubliKKKlans are selling. For me, his most obvious support for the administration is evident in his votes for The Don’s! cabinet. Forget Fetterman’s legislative votes and anti-Democratic Party comments. His backing of the least qualified cabinet nominees speaks more to his support for the Administration’s agenda than anything else. He had the power to prevent lasting damage to our Democracy; instead, he voted with Dictator Don. Welcome to stupid America!

OMG! Genius! Dictator Don just coined a new term for dumbass Democrats: Dumbacrats! Why didn’t I think of this? I’ve been saying dumbass Democrats for years. How did I miss this obvious portmanteau? I hate Dictator Don with the heat of a thousand white-hot suns, yet the man-baby has the uncanny gift to hit his opponents with pithy nicknames. Sure, it amounts to name-calling, which many agree is beneath the dignity of the office of the Presidency. Yet, apparently, it’s never been a deal breaker with voters, so why on Earth are Dumbacrats afraid to get in the mud with the rest of the RepubliKKKlans? Clearly, this sh*t-for-brains country doesn’t care about decorum. They love the mud-slinging despite what the man on the street tells pollsters or the intrepid reporter. The Don! long ago understood the common voter: a mindless man more agitated by what he doesn’t have compared to his neighbors, seeking only to stick it to his perceived enemies rather than working to improve his own situation. And name-calling is the base, simplest method for Dictator Don to communicate his “empathy” for and commiseration with said forgotten man. In short, the downtrodden think The Don! is in their corner because he speaks like them. It’s not that difficult. Dumbcrats need to get on the same page. But they won’t. That’s always the problem with Dumbocrats: They think the average voter is a thinking, deliberative being. They! Are! Not! They vote with their gut and feelings! Nothing more, nothing less. Welcome to stupid America!

From Politico, “House Democrats say they tried playing nice. Now the gloves are off. After spending more than a decade pushing for anti-gerrymandering measures and other good-government initiatives, Democratic lawmakers said this week they are gearing up to play political hardball in the wake of stunning court losses on redistricting — potentially for years to come.”

A day late and a dollar short. This is the Democratic Party crying wolf — again. We’ve heard this before, yet nothing significant comes to fruition; if anything does materialize, then it’s half-hearted and poorly thought out. Sorry, but I’m always going to be in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” mode because dumbass Democrats have failed me year after year, blowing every opportunity that emerges.

The article went on to state, “Other House Democrats are calling for new investments in state-level races to support legislators who will commit to redistricting efforts ahead of 2028 and the post-2030 Census redraw. ‘Democrats are going to be moving to do what Republicans did 15 years ago and that is to focus on state legislatures,’ Rep. Kwesi Mfume (D-Md.) said in an interview. The ‘smartest thing to do,’ he added, ‘would be to control the process.’” Wow! Not a day late and a dollar short, but 15 years late. Christ-on-the-m*****f***ing-Cross. This! This is why I say Democrats won’t beat RepubliKKKlans anytime soon in a meaningful and sustained way — not just one election cycle here and there, but for stretches of a couple of decades to fix the problems of America! Fifteen f***ing years and now they are only beginning to apprehend the critical importance of local and state elections. Look, I hate to be Debby Downer, but Democrats can’t grow a politically ruthless spine overnight. It’s simply not in their nature anymore. It was at one time — you know, 90 years ago! But whatever. Welcome to stupid America!
