By Sharia law, I really mean America’s version of Christian theocratic law. It’s coming, people! It! Is! Coming! Dumbass Democrats are simply too weak and too late to stop RepubliKKKlans and their evil evangelical backers. Ending Roe is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve been saying forever that we are living under tyranny by the minority. This instance of tyranny is via SCOTUS, but once traitor trump and RepubliKKKlans take back power, it will be tyranny via a minority of the vote — because that’s how it always is. This is the great fatal flaw with America’s democracy: The minority routinely wins and rules over the majority. This is why I keep saying that 40 percent of the population rules over the other 60 percent, and the majority just take it as if they welcome being the punching bag. Nothing will ever change except for the new religious laws that the right is about to unleash on the rest of us, and no one will care. Elections have consequences! Welcome to stupid America!
I F***ing Nailed It!
Assuming this is not some elaborate hoax, Politico reports in a stunning leak, “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.” I f***ing nailed it! I nailed it! I nailed it! I posted Roe was dead the very day RBG died. Whereas pundits and experts were all circumspect about the idea of SCOTUS reversing Roe, I said it was a fait accompli on the same day. How could I be so confident so early? Because I’m not a f*** G.D. moron like most experts, who always thought Roe was safe. How could stare decisis ever be questioned, experts would argue. Very easily. This conservative Court will not let anything stand in its way of turning back the clock. I hate to gloat and say I told you so, but I told you so. I’m just here in my tiny corner of the internet writing, warning, and predicting — and getting it right!
This is just the beginning, f***tards! Mark my words! If you think this is the only privacy issue that SCOTUS will roll back, then you’re a f***ing moron! According to this SCOTUS, Roe is based on a right to privacy (liberty), which they believe is not enshrined in the Constitution. I don’t know how many times I have to keep reminding you, morons. So, contraception is next. Gay marriage is next. Basically, any LGBTQ right is next. Hell! Interracial marriage could be on the chopping block! I’ve been warning about this often and loudly, but fear not. No one cares! And don’t think for a second that states who ban abortion won’t also prohibit their citizens from seeking abortions in other states. There will be laws forbidding a woman’s movement between states. The end of American democracy is underway, and this new SCOTUS is part of the cause. Mark my words, f***tards! Americans get the government we deserve, and apparently, we deserve to live in the 1950s. Oh, and one more thought: When RepubliKKKlans take control of the White House, the Senate, and the House, then they will pass a nationwide ban on abortions. Mark my words. Don’t think that the filibuster will stop them; McConnell will jettison that rule the second he’s back in control.
America is going backward, and no one cares, least of all voters! I feel like I am the only one who can clearly see America’s future while everyone else is stuck in some quixotic purple haze. I see the demise of the nation as if I have 20/10 vision. You morons have no idea how catastrophic this is. Oh, well. You’ve been warned! Welcome to stupid America. I live in stupid hell! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Traitor [T]rump Is a F***tard
Classic traitor trump says classic trump stupid thing: “‘You know, we’ve endorsed Dr. Oz, we’ve endorsed JP, right? JD Mandel, and he’s doing great. They’re all doing good,’ Trump told the crowd at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood,” reports Newsweek. Really? “JD Mandel?” Traitor trump is the dumbest person on the planet. Full stop! He can’t remember who he endorses. He confesses names easily and often. And most telling, he keeps bragging about his intelligence, a dead giveaway of his true stupidity. It is no different from someone who brags about how much money they have. Automatically, one should understand the richer one claims to be, then the poorer they are. Wealthy, intelligent people do not need to brag; intelligence is usually evident via speech and other communication skills. And genuinely affluent people don’t have to broadcast it.
But this is the age of traitor trump. This is the country of traitor trump, where 40 percent of the population is clearly dumber than he, which is how the chief idiot of the RepubliKKKlan Party can so easily bamboozle his sycophants. As I keep saying, an audience dumber than traitor trump is the only way a moronic leader can stand before a crowd and convince them that he’s intelligent. He’s been doing it for the last six years because this is stupid America. If you’re a RepubliKKKlan, MAGA moron, evil evangelical, or QAnon kook, then you’re a f***ing G.D. moron of the highest f***ing order. Do humanity a favor and swallow some poison! Welcome to stupid America!
Day Late and Dollar Short, Dumbass Democrats!
From The Hill, “While welcoming Obama’s efforts, however, some experts knocked the former president for not taking action on the issue sooner. ‘As a disinformation expert and a civil rights lawyer who thinks about the intersections, I’m on the one hand very grateful that he has come forward with a set of very clear eyed and holistic solutions,’ said Nora Benavidez, senior counsel at Free Press. ‘That being said, it feels very late in the game to see former President Obama come forward with these comments,’ she said. Obama himself said he regrets failing to ‘fully appreciate’ during the 2016 election ‘just how susceptible we had become to lies and conspiracy theories.’”
Dumbass Democrats are always behind the political eightball. Always! Always! Always! Now?!?! Now, Obama feels the need to step up the campaign to fight back against misinformation? Where was he during all of traitor trump’s presidency? Let me guess? Obama was trying to stick to the old — now defunct — tradition of the previous president staying out of politics so the successor could “do” his job. Wow! How did that work out? Traitor trump basically spent four years ruining America and solidifying the new MAGA RepubliKKKlan Party that explicitly advocates hate. At the same time, former presidents remained silent, looking on in horror but daring not to break “tradition” by criticizing traitor trump.
Not to mention everything Obama failed to do during his eight years on misinformation. It all started with the “Taxed Enough Already” Party, which was really just an organized way to claim legitimacy when they spewed their Obama hate and bigotry. The Tea Party was never concerned about taxes or limiting government; their stated motivations were always a canard. It was simply an institutionalized (and obvious) hate group. Obama spent eight years weakly brushing off RepubliKKKlans’ growing and coordinated attacks on him and the Democrats for fear of becoming that “angry Black man.” So here we are! Eight years of the Tea Party and birtherism morphed into MAGA world that has consumed the RepibliKKKlan Party and is soon to consume the rest of America. Meanwhile, dumbass Democrats are still trying to understand the threat to democracy; they are still expecting the average idiot America to “figure things out.” That is to say, brush off misinformation, see the truth, and vote Democratic. Christ! Americans are stupid! They believe the misinformation unless you tell them not to, and Democrats are not doing that! Kill me now. I live in stupid hell! Welcome to stupid America!
Bravo, John Nichols! Bravo!
He writes in The Nation, “Despite what Clinton and Obama say, Biden’s current list of accomplishments won’t cut it. … There’s just one problem: It doesn’t work. … The Democratic message should be blunt: If we lose Congress, Republicans will make Biden the lamest lame-duck president in history. And if we lose the statehouses, Donald Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ will be codified just in time to tip the 2024 presidential election to Trump or someone worse. Instead of a feel-good ‘touting accomplishments’ campaign, Democrats should rip into the GOP with a warning that America’s future is at stake. Because it is.”
This is excellent advice that dumbass Democrats will ignore because they’re weak and stupid. I say it almost as much as I disparage RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks. The strategy Nichols proposes is straightforward. And it preys upon the one emotion that may best motivate Democratic voters: Fear. But not fear that will subdue voters as being too overwhelmed or a fear that cedes power to RepubliKKKlans. No! This needs to be proactive fear — proactive in that it motivates citizens to vote for Democrats, not just abstain or vote against them.
Unfortunately, as I have said countless times before, dumbass Democrats wrongly trust voters to “figure things out” on their own, which is why they like to talk about all their legislative accomplishments. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! If voters actually believed Democrats’ achievements to date were worth anything, then their poll numbers would not be underwater. Stop expecting a stupid electorate to suddenly recognize what Democrats have done or are trying to do with limited — yes, limited — power as being politically advantageous. Democrats keep talking about their messaging problem (failure). I say messaging their legislative success is a waste of time. The topic is too insipid for voters. Dumbass Democrats should be campaigning on a message of the utter destruction of America’s democracy if Biden is allowed to become a lame-duck president in January. Maybe the average moron voter could understand one hyper-focused message, assuming Americans still want to live in a democracy. It is undoubtedly more catchy than “we got you through the pandemic, and unemployment is low.” These are concepts and accomplishments that Americans have already flushed down their short-term memory hole. Eh, who am I kidding? Dumbass Democrats are completely feckless at playing politics and are completely unwilling to be ruthless. As Nichols said in his piece, Democrats keep playing a losing political strategy. Oh, well! Welcome to stupid America!
The Traitor [T]rump Godfather Show
From The Hill, “The book [This Will Not Pass], obtained by The Hill prior to its release on Tuesday, depicts Trump as a mafia don, demanding loyalty from supplicants and political opponents alike, by turns using the largest bully pulpit in the world to beat them into submission and cajoling them in private to offer support. When Trump called California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to discuss a cruise ship moored in San Francisco Bay, on which passengers were sick with the coronavirus, Trump agreed to allow the ship to dock so passengers could be treated. Trump said he would be watching, for ‘the reciprocity,’ according to the book. … On a visit to the White House early in the pandemic, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) was taken aback when Trump showed him a room adjoining the Oval Office crammed with MAGA gear. ‘They literally hand you a shopping bag, and you took anything you’d like,’ Murphy recalled to the authors.”
It has been a while since I’ve written exclusively about traitor trump. This book provides an excellent opportunity. Of course, it is just a reminder that the traitor trump presidency was nothing more than a blended version of The Godfather 3 and his sh*tty reality T.V. show. Traitor trump ran the government as some elaborate mafia organization where he extorted, stole, and reigned over the country. Naturally, his position as president was never about the people or making America “great again,” except to make it awesome to be a racist, bigot, homophobe, misogynist, conspiracy kook, and white nationalist again. His time in office was always about him playing president, holding rallies, and advertising for his (now destroyed) brand. In the process, he ruined America, and half the country loves him for it because — wait for it, wait for it — welcome to stupid America!
GOP Says Meow!
Have I mentioned that America is the dumbest country on the planet? Have I mentioned that RepubliKKKlans are the dumbest people on the planet? Have I ever mentioned these? I think I may have at least once, but allow me to provide more proof of my certitudes. According to the Minnesota Reformer, “Minnesota Republicans repeated debunked tales about schools providing litter boxes for students who identify as cats during debate over the House education budget bill Wednesday. Reps. Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, and Tim Miller, R-Prinsburg, shared the fictional stories in support of Drazkowski’s proposal to give lawmakers control over a statewide student survey.” And for those of you who may be incredulous that such a story is unique, the Akron Beacon Journal reports, “State Sen. Bruce Bostelman caused quite a stir when he stood on the floor of the Nebraska Legislature last month and lamented that schools were providing litter boxes for students who dress as dogs and cats. Bostelman was shocked and outraged at the nonexistent practice. In his televised floor speech, he demanded that school administrators, the Nebraska Department of Education and the State Board of Education explain what was going on.” So the lie starts in Nebraska and moves onto Minnesota even after Bostelman walked back his comments. But whatever. Truth doesn’t matter anymore.
RepubliKKKlans just keep repeating the absurd because they’re f***ing G.D. morons of the highest f***ing order, and they believe (know) that their constituents are even dumber. Remember, RepubliKKKlan voters (MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, QAnon kooks, et al.) must be dumber than their representatives lest RepubliKKKlans would be incapable of saying bat-sh*t-crazy stuff with conviction and a straight face. This is the level of stupidity to which America has descended: Believing schools are providing litter boxes and that students are requesting them. As I have long said, America is too stupid to survive. This level of stupidity cannot be undone — ever. Welcome to stupid America! It’s a cat-astrophe!
The Culture War and the Economy, Stupid?
I have long revered James Carville’s trenchant mind, especially the pithy “The economy, stupid” quip he espoused as an advisor to then-Governor Bill Clinton. This clear-cut and to-the-point insight focused 1992 political talking points that helped Clinton win the presidential election. Of course, it is only in my reading of The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919) by economist John Maynard Keynes that I realized he understood the interconnectedness of economic prosperity and political stability long before Carville. However, an exclusively economic perspective is not enough for today’s politics. It is lacking and does not fully explain the political events of the day — e.g., the accelerating spread of anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ legislation across a dozen states. To suggest that culture war is the missing component is no tremendous intellectual accomplishment; RepubliKKKlans have made it a prominent and central political element for decades. Perhaps of more interest is the interaction of economic and cultural stresses. Therein lies the true sphinx to understanding.
I shall not endeavor a complete analysis here; that I will leave to a Political Philosophy De Novo. But I will begin some ad hoc ruminations on the matter. I wonder if the two are equal. Do matters of the economy press on voters’ minds more than those of culture, or is it vice versa? Maybe voters are ambivalent between the two. Perhaps when one issue is foremost, the other is forgotten. Or, perhaps, when one rises to a level of ire, then the other becomes a factor of rage as well. That is to say, one re-enforces the other; they work synergistically. Undoubtedly, there are well-established and enlightened philosophies with which I must re-familiarize myself that speak to these interplaying factors. Still, for now, I will attack the analysis from my typical jaundiced view of stupid America.
Consequently, economic and cultural notions can be reduced to two emotions: fear and hate. Indeed, I am employing reductionism, and it is imperfect. While each emotion can be ascribed as a reaction to either the economy or the culture war, in whole or part, for my purposes, I will associate economic agita primarily with fear and the culture war primarily with hate. Again, I make these designations without much evidence. There is no theoretical underpinning, just my intuition. I could develop a logic, but I chose not to here. So, if the economy is to fear what the culture war is to hate, then understanding what emotion animates which political party becomes formulaic and explains certain political antics. In short, hate agitates RepubliKKKlans to the polls, and fear stirs dumbass Democrats to complain about Biden and thus abstain from voting in protest. Is the interaction so simple? Do RepubliKKKlans retreat to their corner, embracing the culture war to placate their hate, and do Democrats fear the state of the economy, thereby deterring electoral participation? It may seem counterintuitive to believe fear causes a revolt with Democratic voters. Whereas RepubliKKKlans act (e.g., vote) out of hate, Democrats appear to shut down in fear or perhaps “act” (e.g., not vote) out of fear by allowing the other side to take over running the government.
Has This Guy Looked in the Mirror?
First, this is the meaning and origin of the surname Kumar, “Indian: Hindu name found in several communities, from Sanskrit kumara ‘child’, ‘son’, ‘prince’. It is also an epithet of the god Kartikeya, the son of Shiva. It commonly occurs as the final element of compound given names, and sometimes as a personal name in its own right.” Second, Kumar says in an interview, “The most pressing issue facing my constituents is also the most pressing issue facing America: the Great Replacement. … I will fight anti-white discrimination and anti-white critical race theory, along with LGBT perversion in our classrooms. I will introduce legislation to criminalize LGBT propaganda targeted at minors, and also to criminalize transgender pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures.”
This is more common than one might think: A non-white who is a white supremacist — irony at its best. Clearly, such people do not own a mirror or have a very high and misplaced opinion of themselves. It is, nonetheless, astonishing that Christians, of which Kumar is one, can so easily ignore (never learned in the first place) teachings of Christ, namely, “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:3-5, NKJV).
As usual with RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks, it’s always the other person who is a minority while they, themselves, never are. If they just look in the f***ing mirror! These non-white white supremacists are not kidding anyone, least of all their fellow white supremacists, who are, no doubt, calling Neil Kumar a sand-n***** behind his back. I hope Neil understands that he is literally the definition of white replacement! Eh, whatever! In the words of Jesus, the hypocrisy is blinding. Welcome to stupid America! I live in stupid hell.
Oh Lordy, There Are Tapes and Texts
There are too many tapes and texts to include here, but take your pick of news sources — Newsweek, NPR, The Washington Post, Axios, The New York Times, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, USA Today, CNN. So, I’ll provide the Cliff Notes version: RepubliKKKlans — then and now — understand the danger of traitor trump destroying America’s democracy, and they don’t care. No one cares, actually. No voter, that is. These same RepubliKKKlans who decry the January 6 insurrection, traitor trump, and MAGA morons in private are the same ones who are more than willing to support all the worst elements of their party and society. These are the same RepubliKKKlans that voters want to give control of Congress in 2022. To what end? To show Biden that they’re mad about the economy? Probably! This is the amygdala type of thinking I would expect from stupid America. A pissy electorate wants to punish Biden by voting insurrectionist-supporting, democracy-hating RepubliKKKlans into majorities. As if RepubliKKKlans are going to help Biden improve the state of the nation? Really? Whatever! I give up! These recent tapes and texts evince a RepubliKKKlan Party that really doesn’t care about preserving our democracy, and, as it seems, voters don’t care either. I expected nothing less. Welcome to stupid America! As I’ve been saying for years now, America is too stupid to survive.
