Welcome to Stupid America!

Congratulations, stupid America! And thank you! I mean this in the most back-handed way possible, for idiots of America have unleashed chaos upon us because we need a divided government to “check” Biden’s successes. I suppose the only way to make lemonade out of this bushel of lemons is to enjoy the expected disaster and laugh while constantly reminding myself that this is what Americans want. As I always say, each election is undoubtedly the expression of people’s desires at the time, whether the consequences of their decisions are intentional or unintentional. I am one to think morons of America — for as stupid as they are — make “informed” decisions of some sort when they vote, so in these midterms, they wanted to give control of the House to the crazies. There is no other interpretation. People may have thought they were voting for moderate RepubliKKKlans to run the House, but that’s not what’s going to happen. The MAGA moron and QAnon kook wing of the party will be calling the shots. But I assume that as stupid as Americans are, voters weighed these considerations and elected RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons anyway. Oh, well.

An article in The New York Times explains the new situation well, “The main question going forward is whether Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, who was nominated on Tuesday to lead the new Republican majority, can achieve the unity necessary to perform fundamental tasks such as funding the government, or whether unyielding far-right members will make the new speaker’s life miserable and the House an unmanageable mess. … Despite their underwhelming showing, Republicans are unlikely to be chastened into cooperating with Mr. Biden and no doubt will plunge ahead aggressively once they get their hands on the gavels. For many, that was the point of the election. Their agenda is investigative, not legislative.” Indeed! Especially the “unlikely to be chastened” comment. I’ve seen this movie before. RepubliKKKlans will eventually interrupt this near smallest of wins possible as an overwhelming “mandate” from the “American people.” Mark my words on this, morons. Once the final numbers are in and the House is sworn in, then they will “govern” — that is, investigate the f*** out of everything while ignoring actual matters of running the government — claiming they have the full, unequivocal backing of the voters and the American public. Just wait. I can’t wait for the first government shutdown. And never forget: This is what voters wanted. Never doubt that. Welcome to stupid America!

So, for all the Democrats’ victories and less-than-expected defeats, they still trail RepubliKKKlans in total votes by a not insignificant number. This is sort of the reverse problem of presidential elections where the Democratic presidential candidate always gets more votes than the RepubliKKKlan yokel, yet the Democrat loses. While in this case of the misterms, RepubliKKKlans won the House and could not retake the Senate. Nonetheless, in a country where there are more Democratic and Democratic-leaning Independent voters, we still fall short when it comes to showing up to vote during off-year elections. Some things never change, no matter how excited the populace is or dire the situation. In this case, my prediction was spot on: The typical apathy of Americans expressed itself in the usual way. The only difference is that the election results could have been worse.

Yet! Yet, it seems Democrats are spiking the ball, which is another predictable reaction. They are celebrating the fact that their defeats in the House were not as crushing as expected. Leave it to Democrats to interpret a “miner” loss as a victory. How very Democratic of them. How very participation trophy of them. Last I checked, a loss is a loss is a loss. And just wait until the RepubliKKKlans get the gavels of House committees. That will be a mess, but it may actually be chaos that Americans need to witness. That is if they care enough because do not forget: Americans voted for and wanted the spectacle that is about to descend upon the House. Democrats still need to wake the f*** up. I don’t care about oh-so-close losses. They are losses. It’s not winning! Welcome to stupid America, where “it could have been worse” is the motto of Democrats! Fan-f***ing-tastic.

Traitor trump is running for president and, in so doing, has given my blog new life! Thanks! I guess? I may have got a lot wrong with the midterm elections, but I never had any doubt that traitor trump would run again. And he is. That was easy and anyone who thought otherwise have not been paying attention for the last six years.

Honestly, let RepubliKKKlans take the House. I think it needs to happen to remind Americans just how much the other party can’t govern — doesn’t want to govern. I will admit that my confidence in the average American voter has been restored despite those aggravating “split” voters who actually saved Democrats. (Ugh! For the love of God, just pick a direction — Democrats — and stick with it.)

So, I say bring it, RepubliKKKlan House members! Bring the chaos. Bring the pointless investigations. Bring the gridlock. Bring it all. Please, by all means, show the American voter that you still have nothing on your mind other than more grievance. And don’t think for one second that McCarthy can control the fringe of his party; he cannot. They will bring down his party even more. Can’t wait for this sh*tshow. Welcome to stupid America!

Well, well, well! I’m in a predicament. How can I continue to indict the American people if they continue to save themselves from themselves? I’m sure I’ll find a way. Case in point: It looks like traitor trump will provide much fodder for me as he’s about to declare his candidacy for president, and I have no doubt that RepubliKKKlans will rally to his cause, for the current hand-wringing by the RepubliKKKlan Party over the results of the midterms will not last long. Just like all the other lessons “learned” in the wake of traitor trump’s existence, they will be completely lost. The RepubliKKKlan Party will never turn its back on traitor trump because the voters won’t let them. MAGA morons can’t quit — don’t want to quit — traitor trump. So, we are about to enter another two years of a sh*tshow brought to you by MAGA morons. While the drama is getting old for 60 percent of the populace, 40 percent are bored and pathetic losers who require the entertainment of traitor trump and his white grievance to find meaning in their lives. I, too, will personally enjoy railing against these MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks who still hold too much sway in America! Welcome to stupid America. We dodged another bullet, but we have yet to kill the assailants.

According to The New York Times, “Donald J. Trump faced unusual public attacks from across the Republican Party on Wednesday after a string of midterm losses by candidates he had handpicked and supported, a display of weakness as he prepared to announce a third presidential campaign as soon as next week. … ‘Republicans have followed Donald Trump off the side of a cliff,’ David Urban, a longtime Trump adviser with ties to Pennsylvania, said in an interview. Former Representative Peter King, a Republican from Long Island who has long supported Mr. Trump, said, ‘I strongly believe he should no longer be the face of the Republican Party,’ adding that the party ‘can’t become a personality cult.’” We’ve heard this before.

The day after the election, I may have entertained the notion that traitor trump would not pursue reelection, but who the f*** am I kidding? Of course, he’s going to run. Losing has never stopped him, and don’t think for a second that he’ll lose support from RepubliKKKlan leadership. They may be done with him — they’ve been done with him for years — but the average MAGA moron is not done with the orange fat man; they love him no matter how much he loses. And don’t think DeSantis is going to stand up to him. Traitor trump will dispatch DeSantis with alacrity the likes of which you’ve never seen before now; he’s is on the warpath, and his minions will follow him right off that cliff. Now, the question is, will traitor trump win in a 2024 election? I’m not sure anymore. I had calculated that RepubliKKKlans would have placed election deniers in key blue state positions to steal the next presidential election, but that is no longer the case. Let me ruminate on the matter a bit. Nonetheless, RepubliKKKlans are about to retake the House, and that alone is enough of a win to remind the world of this: Welcome to stupid America!

In full disclosure, I am more than willing to admit when I was wrong with my prognosticating — as were most experts and pundits — so allow me to do some self-reflection before the final election results have been tallied and before Georgia’s run-off, which is another ridiculous predicament. I feel less sanguine today now that I’ve had time to absorb the results. First and foremost, I guess Americans do value their democracy. Second, women and Roe did not save Democrats, as I have long said. Oh, sure, it may have prevented a red-wave wipeout, but clearly, abortion rights were not the driving factor when electing individuals across the board. There is one specific example that indicates to me this was the case, namely the Kentucky Amendment 2 measure in which voters defeated a proposal that said the right to abortion was not enshrined in the state constitution. Yet, on the other hand, the state easily re-elects Rand Paul, who, last I checked, is still a member of the party that wants to ban all abortions. In fact, many of the RepubliKKKlan Senators, being elected statewide, were re-elected or elected for the first time, e.g., Johnson, Rubio, and Vance, to name a few. Thus, while abortion rights were on voters’ minds, it did not save Democrats, as I have long said. And by save, I mean win it all. Did overturning Roe help blunt the red wave? No doubt it did, but red states are just as red as ever, and once purple states — Florida — are permanently red.

Third, again, whether by one seat or 50 seats, RepubliKKKlan control of the House yields the same result: Total control over the committees, so in this regard losing the House is still a disaster because RepubliKKKlans have already indicated they only care about investigating Biden, his family, and his administration. They have no interest in legislating and governing unless it is to hold the government hostage to extract their political aims. Of course, this introduces a whole host of issues for them in the eyes of the public, which I will save for future posts, but suffice it to say, RepubliKKKlans will get their chance to f*** up the Biden agenda and further prove conservatives’ incompetence to govern. Think of Obama’s last six years. All gridlock. Forth, it looks like the youth vote actually came out for once to help prop up Democrats. That’s all I have to say on that subject.

Last, and here is the objective measure of how the elections went. According to The New York Times, “More than 220 Republicans who questioned the 2020 election have won seats in the U.S. House and Senate and in state races for governor, secretary of state and attorney general, according to results as of 9 p.m. on Wednesday. … But even as this group of election deniers and skeptics were winning seats, dozens of other Republican candidates who were also election deniers and skeptics lost their races for higher office, contributing to the failure of a much-anticipated ‘red wave.’ The losses have raised questions over whether election denialism was at least partly to blame. But conversely, the wins could be seen as a signal that election skepticism is not a fleeting fad and that a version of it — perhaps a more subtle version that is harder to dismiss than outright denialism — is already in the Republican mainstream.” So, this is the real chink in the democratic armor, which I was right about all along. America’s democracy will not die overnight nor in one election — although it could. No! Instead, it will be a drip, drip, drip process, and these 2020 election deniers — no matter their intensity of beliefs — are dangerous and undermine the very fabric of democracy. This is the Big Lie metastasizing and becoming mainstream. It will take time to kill the host despite Americans fighting back in the short term.

I will be the first to admit that I was mostly wrong. I guess Americans really do want democracy after all, but the counting has not finished yet and control of the Senate is still undecided, although the House is likely lost. Stay tuned for post-poll analysis. Oh, but guess what has not changed? SCOTUS. That’s the real problem. And for the first time, I am contemplating the notion that traitor trump may not run for reelection. The facts have changed significantly.

So! Here we are on election day, and the only important question on my mind is this: Does America’s democracy begin to die? There should be no surprise when my terse answer is yes! Oh, sure, the final nail in the coffin of the American experiment will not happen by tomorrow night or even the week after, but the lid will be closed as I have no faith in voters. I constantly remind myself that Americans once voted traitor trump into the W.H. and 10 million more voters tried to do it again four years later. And Biden winning does not absolve that.

According to The New York Times, “If Wisconsin Democrats lose several low-budget state legislative contests here on Tuesday — which appears increasingly likely because of new and even more gerrymandered political maps — it may not matter who wins the $114 million tossup contest for governor between Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, and Tim Michels, a Republican. Those northern seats would put Republicans in reach of veto-proof supermajorities that would render a Democratic governor functionally irrelevant.” This was brought to you by the 2020 census and gerrymandering. And what have I been saving for the last two years? What the f*** have I been saying since RBG died and Barrett was installed? RepubliKKKlans won the trifecta — a supermajority conservative SCOTUS, 2020 redistricting, and a majority of states with RepubliKKKlan-controlled legislatures. The end is coming to fruition and all I hear from moronic Democratic hope-peddlers is not to believe the polls as if ignoring bad news won’t make it so. I expected nothing less from a political party that reverts to “I can’t hear you” reasoning! F*** me!

Look, morons! Dumbass Democrats have just f***ed up their party’s viability every which way to Sunday, and Wisconsin is going to be the latest casualty of a weak, feckless party that never understood how to play the game of politics with the ruthlessness required to win. So, what party stepped into the vacuum? RepubliKKKlans! This goes back to Obama and his leadership of the Democratic Party. He not only lost the House and Senate two years into his presidency, but he lost over a thousand seats at the local levels, and they’ve never recovered from those losses. In fact, they continue to lose more seats to the point that a Wisconsin supermajority legislature will ensure Democrats never win in the state again. Do you really think a RepubliKKKlan legislature that could pass laws with impunity will care about the general public? Nope! Expect abortions to be permanently outlawed and criminalized. Expect more guns in the streets. Expect minority rights to be rolled back. Oh, and expect RepubliKKKlans never to certify another Democratic winner. But fear not! No one cares, least of all Wisconsinites. People want to live in a theocracy. Mark my words! So, whatever. Let it happen! It’s just another day in stupid hell! Welcome to stupid America!
