Allow me to quote myself, “As for Biden’s agenda, it’s toast. … Back Better legislation is dead on arrival. There is no other way for Manchin to interrupt Democrats’ massive losses last night as anything other than a signal to put the breaks on everything. Don’t forget that Manchin is perfectly fine with not passing anything else related to Biden’s BBB agenda. So, dumbass Democrats will continue with their infighting and the legislation will collapse.” Manchin finally confirmed that which I have been saying for months now,” ‘And I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there.’” Predicting Democrats’ political incompetence and failure is becoming too easy. I will admit that I was only half right because I had originally predicted the infrastructure bill would not pass as well, but it did. And Biden is reaping huge political benefits from its passage into law as his job approval numbers skyrocket! Oh, wait. I am reading those numbers backward. Nevermind. Silly me.

There is one thing Manchin has been correctly saying from the start: If Democrats want to pass Biden’s social agenda, then they need to elect more Democratic Senators. Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! How is it that DINO Manchin understands the political reality of the Democratic Party better than leadership and Biden? How is that possible? I should not be all that surprised. Dumbass Democrats constantly misjudge everything about the political environment. It is a wonder they actually win at all. For some reason, dumbass Democrats seem to think a 50-50 Senate and a much-reduced margin in the House equates to a mandate by the people for Biden’s agenda. It’s not, truly! (And as an aside, something that drives me completely bonkers is that Democrats can’t even recognize the fact that technically they only have 48 Democratic Senators — aka not a majority! This party acts like they’re playing while ahead when, in fact, they are always — and have always been — behind!) Biden’s win was more of an anti-traitor trump movement.

That is not to say I am or have been against the BBB legislation, but I understood the political reality from the start: There were simply not enough votes, no matter how the plan was crafted. Some components of the bill would piss off liberals, and other parts would piss off moderates. There was never going to be a way to square the circle. Biden should have spent his first year tackling the BIF bill and some smaller aspects of the BBB agenda (e.g., drug pricing or medicare hearing benefits). Biden should have been preaching — and must start now — that he needs more Democrats in the House and Senate. He may have won, but it is not enough. More needs to be done before he can begin to pass his agenda. He should have been saying this from day one. All of them should have been saying this. But, no! Dumbass Democrats believed — and wrongly misled their voting base to believe — that they won and “we got this.” And look what happened. Democrats come off as incompetent, feckless, and having wasted an entire year proving they can’t get much done. They set themselves up for failure, and they proved it! The only people who failed to understand where Machin stood on BBB over the last 5-6 months are Democrats! Honestly, he has been telegraphing his intentions from the beginning, and shame on Democrats for not seeing that, no matter what he said privately. Believe what people do, not what they say! This is reading people 101. Ugh! This is how Democrats usher in permanent RepubliKKKlan power. Welcome to stupid America!

From CNN, “Democratic governors are facing a messaging conundrum: they say American democracy may hinge on their elections in 2022, but they’re not sure they can get most voters to care. Attempts to meddle with the certification of the Electoral College count and the partisan takeovers of the voting infrastructure don’t seem to be front of mind for an electorate drained by nearly two years of pandemic living and a creeping sense of economic panic, and that worries a range of Democratic governors … Several Democratic governors who were in office in 2020 played significant roles in staving off attempts to stir up challenges around the Electoral College certification. The fear is that GOP governors in states with GOP-controlled legislatures will work together to change the electoral rules, potentially adding to the chaos and confusion about reporting electoral votes out of their capitals, regardless of who wins the next presidential election. In backing candidates who question the results of the 2020 election, Trump and his allies seem to be trying to lay the groundwork for an election infrastructure that could be more favorable to future attempts to overturn the outcome.”

And this from Vox, “Experts on democracy warn that America is sleepwalking toward a disaster, a situation where the electoral playing field is so tilted in the GOP’s favor that America’s people no longer have a meaningful voice in who rules them. ‘We’ll wake up one day, and it’ll become clear that Democrats can’t win,’ says Tom Pepinsky, a political scientist at Cornell University. … Many elite Democrats are fully aware of the problem. Some, like Sen. Raphael Warnock (GA) and the activist group Indivisible, have worked to try to sound the alarm. But at the very highest levels of the party, democracy has become something of a side issue rather than a top priority. … Republicans, at both the elite and mass public level, are actively organizing against democracy — with largely ineffectual pushback from Democratic elites and partisans. There is no evidence of a mass movement to save democracy in America today.”

Add to this my recent post, and the trend is clear. No one — especially dumbass Democrats — cares that America’s democracy is dying. So, whatever. I can only b*tch for so long. Rip the band-aid off quickly already. I’d rather have one swift coup de grâce than this insufferable drip, drip, drip where nobody sees democracy slipping around them, or they do see yet react with an “eh” and a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Sixty percent of Americans are going to wake up one day with their most cherished freedoms and way of life annulled. Then, all of a sudden, they will care, but it’ll be too late. Welcome to stupid America!

America avoids default, but McConnell won the battle and soon to be the war as The Hill writes, “The Senate on Thursday voted to approve a one-time exemption to the filibuster on raising the debt ceiling, capping off a months-long fight over the nation’s borrowing limit.” At the time, I was perplexed why McConnell backed down from his threat not to help Democrats avoid default last October. It made no sense to me from a man who has spent his career destroying Senate norms and the country in the process. Allowing the nation to default on its debt would merely be one more step toward that end while he could blame Democrats, and dumbass Democrats would take the blame because Americans are too stupid to understand the machinations of the opposition party and the workings of government, although they like to b*tch about it as if they did understand. Voters still believe that since Democrats only technically control the White House and both chambers of Congress then they somehow have total control. (They don’t!) But I digress.

Then it occurred to me, belatedly, as other news has dominated over the last week. This was McConnell’s masterstroke, and I promise what he allowed to happen will come back to bit dumbass Democrats in the ass because I also promise they have missed this point! What is the point, you may be asking? Democrats made a carve-out to suspend the filibuster. This is the same process dumbass Democrats have been reluctant to exercise to pass every other piece of important legislation. Curiously, has anybody noticed McConnell’s silence on changing the Senate rules to suspend the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling? Whereas McConnell warned Democrats not to tamper with the filibuster when it comes to voting rights legislation, among others, he nodded his approval in the case of the debt ceiling. Do you really think this was out of the goodness of his heart? His concern for America’s economy? No! This is a strategic move more than anything. Democrats have now set the precedent to suspend the filibuster rule to pass legislation! And once RepubliKKKlans retake the White House and Congress, McConnell will use this precedent to suspend the filibuster for all manner of legislation while arguing because the Democrats did it then he can too. And I promise that dumbass Democrats are completely clueless about the set of circumstances they have unleashed. They probably think McConnell is a man of honor. This only reinforces what I have been saying about the weak Democratic Party: Once they broke the filibuster rule cherry then they would be too feckless to actually use it. This is a perfect case in point. While dumbass Democrats believe this was a one-time exception to prevent America from defaulting on its debt, RepubliKKKlans see this as the open door for which they have been waiting! Therein lies thier victory! Congratulations RepubliKKKlans! The country will be completely yours after the 2024 elections and democracy will be officially dead. Welcome to stupid America! The end!

The poll results above show that the case is closed! American democracy is dead and dumbass Democrats, with their apathy, are helping RepubliKKKlans to kill it. I have seen no other poll results evince more alarm than the ones above. I should not be surprised, for the numbers only reinforce that which I have been saying for many months now. Dumbass Democrats just don’t get it and they don’t care. Their apathy and blindness are killing the country, and Democrats leaderships’ failure to stir the anger and fear of their base is also to blame. How the f*** can we ever hope to save our country when most Democrats think our democracy is not under attack? Tell me! How? How can the “nothing to see here” party ever hope to retain power if the bedazzled Democratic masses believe the ongoing RepubliKKKlan coup is nothing more than a test? Or worse still — over! One can see how and why RepubliKKKlans are going to steal the next election; they think their version of “American democracy” is under threat, and if I thought my version of democracy was under attack (which it is) then I would be up in arms too. But what political force do we have to counter RepubliKKKlans? Democrats! Democrats who think everything is fine. I can’t. I just f***ing can’t with the stupid and the apathy and the blindness. As I have said at almost every chance I get — RepubliKKKlans are killing our country and dumbass Democrats are letting them do it. Oh, well. I give up. The stupid runs deep and cannot be reversed. Welcome to stupid America!

From The Washington Post, “A year after local and state election officials came under immense pressure from Trump to subvert the results of the 2020 White House race, he and his supporters are pushing an ambitious plan to place Trump loyalists in key positions across the administration of U.S. elections. The effort goes far beyond the former president’s public broadsides against well-known Republican state officials who certified President Biden’s victory, such as Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. Citing the need to make elections more secure, Trump allies are also seeking to replace officials across the nation, including volunteer poll watchers, paid precinct judges, elected county clerks and state attorneys general, according to state and local officials, as well as rally speeches, social media posts and campaign appearances by those seeking the positions. If they succeed, Trump and his allies could pull down some of the guardrails that prevented him from overturning Biden’s win by creating openings to challenge the results next time, election officials and watchdog groups say.”

So, this is a foregone conclusion because RepubliKKKlans will get away with their nefarious plans, and dumbass Democrats, as usual, will be entirely caught off guard as they naively expect and rely upon the average citizen always to do the right thing and care. Not! If there is one truism about Americans, it is that they are completely apathetic about politics. Once again, and as always, dumbass Democrats just don’t f***ing get it! They just have no clue how to fight, where the battlefield is, or who the enemy is. Dominating election boards and the local election process in key swing states is how RepubliKKKlans will steal elections (i.e., our democracy), thereby achieving permanent power, while Democrats will give it to them on a silver platter. We get the government we deserve, so get ready, f***tards! Oh, well! Welcome to stupid America!
