Welcome to Stupid America!

In conjunction with the graph below, I also quote The New York Times, “The biggest shift came from women who identified as independent voters. In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points — a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights. The survey showed that the economy remained a far more potent political issue in 2022 than abortion.” Granted, this is only one poll indicating such a large swing with independent women, but it is not the first poll to uncover the same trend I’ve seen in other polls: Democrats peaked too early, RepubliKKKlans are gaining on (and surpassing) Democrats, and no one cares about abortion rights. And mind you, women determine the outcome of elections. I keep telling you people to mark my words, but many are not. There is an undercurrent of voters that vote RepubliKKKlan who will never appear in polling data. Dumbass Democrats need to get their f***ing head out of their ass and wake up — although, I think it’s too late. Once the momentum shifts this close to the elections, then it is unlikely to reverse course again. Democrats relied too heavily on abortion rights, and now they’re paying for it. Review anyone of my numerous posts on the issue. In short, abortion rights are always the other person’s problem.

I guess that I cannot wholly blame Democrats for the RepubliKKKlan long game finally coming to fruition. They planted the seeds of fascism long ago, waiting for the right farmer to spread his sh*t to nurture and grow the lies, conspiracies, hatred, and fear. Traitor trump did just that, and now this election will be the first to bear its fruits. Just watch! Roughly three weeks to the beginning of the downward spiral of democracy. As I keep saying, Biden is merely the intermission to the end. Welcome to stupid America!

From CNN, “Kanye West is acquiring Parler, the alternative social media platform favored by many conservatives.” So, let me see if I understand this correctly. A black man wants to acquire a social media company that was created because places like Twitter and Facebook were purging their racist users. Un-f***ing-believable. If you want signs of the end of America, then here you go. We have arrived at a point in this country where a Black man intends to save a platform that propagates and spreads hatred against minorities, especially Black people. You can’t make this sh*t up. This is what a dying country looks like. Minorities have consumed the Kool-Aid and appear to be completely oblivious to their hand in creating hatred and promoting destruction against their fellow minority brothers and sisters. Of course, wealthy “elite” minorities somehow think they have been transformed into whitey and therefore are above being targets of racism when they are not. Whatever! Welcome to stupid America!

The good news is that the jury sent a very clear message with the awards; it’s the only means they have, and the interest starts accruing. The longer he refuses to pay, the more he owes. The bad news is that the families will never see any of it because here in America we protect capital, and we protect the vilest of the vile, usually in the name of freedom of hate speech and hate religion — never freedom from hate speech and hate religion. That’s who we are as a country. Juries can render all the verdicts they want while those culpable move money around, hire more lawyers, and, of course, declare bankruptcy. But whatever! The worst news is that American society is just f***ing dumb. The fact that this hate-monger (among many others) can perpetuate a gruesome lie for nearly a decade, gain adherents from it, and get rich is not only a blight on our national character, but it is the epitome of a severely f***tarded nation. Welcome to stupid America! Home of conspiracy theories and other assorted idiots! This is what a dying democracy looks like.

It is long overdue. Unfortunately, America has not learned its lesson from the 1973-1974 oil embargo. One would think that America should have taken the cue to more aggressively pursue renewable energy resources and other technology to get off of oil quicker. But no! Americans are stupid, lazy, and greedy, so oil continues to be the thought-free, easiest, and most profitable energy source at home and abroad. Consequently, we repeatedly find ourselves in bed with a petro-state that basically supports terrorist acts against America (and worldwide) and thinks America is Satan. But they have cheap oil (when they feel like it), and they hate Iran. The problem with our stupid American foreign policy with Saudi Arabia is that we feel beholden to them when, in fact, they should be indebted to the country that supplies their military hardware — America! (Oh, I guess that is another reason why we suck up to the government while routinely becoming MBS’s punching bag — the military-industrial complex.) Where will they get their trusted military supplies if we play hardball? Russia? I think they’ve proven that they manufacture sh*t, given they’re losing to Ukraine and have to outsource weapons from North Korea and Iran. China? Does MBS want to be led around by the nose by Xi? Doubtful. Part of the reason the Saudi Kingdom treats us the way they do is because they can get away with it. We let them. Does MBS think Xi will be so gullible to take OPEC’s oil price fixing abuse if the Kingdom had to rely on China’s weapons for national defense?

Only America rolls over when Saudi Arabia injects an October surprise into our elections to influence the midterms in favor RepubliKKKlans — the domestic party of terrorist-state lovers. Of course, we must not forget the idiot American voter, who is too stupid to see OPEC’s cut in oil production ahead of the midterms for what it is: To influence the election and blame Biden for something over which he has no control. But whatever! The impact is already affecting the elections because America is all stupid, all the time.

It’s time for Biden and the Democrats to start flexing their muscles. Time to suspend military sales to the country. Time to push back. Time to make MBS sweat. OPEC acts with impunity because, time after time, we do nothing. We suck it up and complain and shake our finger at the Kingdom, but nothing ever happens except more sucking up in the hopes of placating our frenemy. Enough is enough. But really, it never is. (Oh, by the way, American energy independence is not what you think it is since all oil is traded on the world market, f***tards!) Welcome to stupid America. Whatever. I live in stupid hell.

David Ignatius writes in The Washington Post, “Ukrainians, from senior leaders to ordinary citizens, appear convinced that Putin’s Russia must be vanquished, not just Putin himself. Olga Datsiuk, a 33-year-old television producer, relaxing over lunch in a cafe, was smiling but emphatic in an interview Saturday. ‘We feel that Russia and Russians are responsible for all of it,’ she said. The same view was expressed by Sergiy Gerasymchuk, who runs a foreign policy think tank called Prism: ‘It’s not Putin; it’s Russia,’ he told us. ‘There is a chance for reconciliation, but not in my lifetime.’”

Ukraine and Ukrainians are absolutely correct! Russia and Russians need to be vanquished. They are right when they say most Russians support the war, and Russians allowed the war to happen. Full stop! I don’t care if Russians live under a dictatorship and people feel sorry for them. I’m getting really tired of citizens getting a pass for living under (and supporting) the government they deserve and desire. How many f*** times do I have to say it? Every person either actively and directly or indirectly and passively supports their government, from democracies to authoritarian regimes. People are sheep, and those lucky enough to live in a democracy can reasonably live on autopilot, confident their government will probably not be a menace to the world. Those unlucky to live in a dictatorship must live with the near-certain misfortune that their government will be a terrorist actor on the world stage. Sorry, but citizens must still be held accountable if they acquiesce to their terrorist government. We conquered Nazi Germany, where most citizens went along with Hitler. We must do the same to Russia and the Russians! Ukrainians understand that they have to win, and Russia needs to lose. There is no other outcome, lest we repeat history like a broken record of more rogue actions of a Russian terrorist state in the future.

I will concede first that I think Real Clear Politics leans slightly right, but the graph above is an average of polls, so I cannot detect any thumb on the scale. That said, I will repeat what I said several days ago: Democrats are losing momentum. They peaked too early, and they are going to lose the House — for certain — and now I think the Senate is lost too. Mark my words, f***tards. And it does not matter if RepubliKKKlans win the House by only a handful of seats compared to the dozens and dozens of seats projected back in Spring. It is not a f***ing “victory” for dumbass Democrats to declare that they only lost ten seats instead of 40. That is stupid thinking, and dumbass Democrats are experts at it! If RepubliKKKlans take back the House with only one seat to spare, then it is a total loss and an unmitigated disaster for America’s democracy. But I can already hear idiot Democrats crowing about how they came close to winning. Un-f***ing-believable! Only in stupid America do Democrats want credit for coming close.

Then there is the Senate. I also said several days ago that my expectations have changed for dumbass Democrats, and my intuition is only getting stronger. RepubliKKKlans are going to retake the Senate. Mark my words, f***tards. Roe is not going to save Democrats during the midterms. Women are not going to save Democrats because, as I have said repeatedly — abortion rights are always someone else’s problem. And if you just consider women who are sensitive to this issue, then perhaps the 60 percent — say — who are concerned about preserving their bodily autonomy may vote Democratic, but the remaining 40 percent against abortion rights certainly will vote RepubliKKKlan. It never fails. And the youth vote is not going to save Democrats. Enthusiasm is not going to save Democrats, for Democrats are enthusiastic every four years while RepubliKKKlans are energized 24/7.

When the races are this close, when the polls are this close, and when the percentage of undecided voters exceeds the gap between Democrats and RepubliKKKlans, then RepubliKKKlans are always favored. Always! The undecided voters break RepubliKKKlan. How many times must I say it? How many f*** times? When people vote in the privacy and secrecy of the polling booth, they voter conservative. Mark my words! The end starts in November. Welcome to stupid America! We never learn until it’s too late. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

CNN fact-checks the idiot, “Someone listening to Trump’s rally comments might have pictured documents from the first Bush administration being scattered carelessly in bowling lanes. But that’s not what happened. The Washington Post reported in 1993: ‘There aren’t any lanes anymore. No gutters, no pins, no beer. Thanks to a rush remodeling job after last November’s election, there are a few simple offices, a massive, fire-resistant vault and row after row of steel shelves filled with cardboard boxes and wooden crates.’ There was also extensive security. The Associated Press reported in 1994: ‘Uniformed guards patrol the premises. There are closed-circuit television monitors and sophisticated electronic detectors along walls and doors. Some printed material is classified and will remain so for years; it is open only to those with top-secret clearances.’”

Of course! That was — as usual — the entire point of traitor trump’s comments: Let the imagination of the crowd of f***tards run wild, that bowlers and diners alike could casually peruse national security documents between frames over a bowl of chop suey. Naturally, morons of America would believe such nonsense to be manifestly true while the rest of us call B.S. But whatever! Americans are just too stupid to apprehend any better or care. Welcome to stupid America — days away from the beginning of the end. I can’t anymore. I just can’t!

Well, good. I’m not the only one crazy enough to believe that Western democracies may not be up to the long-haul task of defending the world against autocracies. World chess champion Garry Kasparov stated, “Today there is a clear and present danger [Putin]. Winter is here. It is still unclear if the free world is willing and able to meet this challenge.” He also said, “If only Russian men were as brave as Iranian women.” Ouch! The truth hurts, and he is right.

I have long feared that the Western alliance may not be able to outlast Putin — though it has proved robust thus far — yet the more he pushes, then the more strained the coalition becomes, as evinced by the rightward shift in the political power of some European governments. And that brings me to another point that Kasparov made in his speech at St. Mary Aldermanbury at the National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. As the Georgia Recorder states, “He is concerned that former President Donald Trump will win another term in 2024 and cut off support for Ukraine. Trump’s supporters in Congress vote against aid to Ukraine and his cheerleaders on Fox News, especially Tucker Carlson, are telling Trump supporters that Putin is justified in the war.” Indeed, this is the long-game perspective. Something that Kasparov apprehends well. It is my fear, too. And it is the direction we’re headed because this is stupid America. What are the chances that traitor trump runs on the idea of “peace in Europe” and an end to high gas prices (i.e., inflation)? If Putin can just stave off an outright loss in favor of a stalemate that engenders a sustained energy supply crisis, then what are the prospects that an agitated America will want to end economic hardship by sacrificing Ukraine? Who is the chief American antagonist to Ukraine (besides douchebag Musk)? Traitor trump!

This kind of returns to my original post at the outset of Russia’s war on Ukraine: The Fall of Ukraine. I thought Russia’s military would rout Ukraine’s armed forces in that post. As it turns out, the opposite is true, but now the real question is how long the West will supply Ukraine’s holy war against authoritarianism. Welcome to stupid America!

It seems like Biden is among the few domestic leaders with an actual sober assessment of Putin’s capabilities. As NBC News reports, “In remarks at a reception for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Biden said it was the first time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis that there has been a ‘direct threat’ of nuclear weapons’ being used, ‘if, in fact, things continue down the path they are going. We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis,’ he said, offering his bluntest comments about the use of nuclear weapons since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.”

I hear many pundits acting as armchair generals that claim the nuclear option is remote and unlikely. And again, I will say: Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! I don’t like to use the “backed in a corner” analogy for whatever reason — it’s overused. As I keep writing, I don’t see any other way out for Putin. Despite what Allied leadership says, if Putin goes nuclear, then the world would be paralyzed into inaction, looking for the quickest way to prevent a second bomb from going off. Call me pessimistic. Call me skeptical. Call me a nay-sayer. Call me a contrarian in the face of everything the West and Ukraine have accomplished up to this point, but everything changes once Putin breaks the 70-year taboo.

Power at all costs! That’s the name of the game. RepubliKKKlans understand this. Dumbass Democrats keep getting a hole in the ground, confused with their a**hole. The usual Morning Joe panel had a good discussion over the hypocrisy of the RepubliKKKlan Party and their win-at-all-costs driving mentality. Nothing they said was original or previously unexplored, but the debate was a timely reminder (and stirred my ire — again) that dumbass Democrats are just not ruthless enough to hold power. (I’ve written on this endlessly.) This is why the midterm races are tightening in key states (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona) and even in some surprising races (Oregon and Georgia). To be sure, Democrats are much closer in races across the board in a midterm where history indicates RepubliKKKlans should be running away. Still, close is not winning, even though Democrats would like to convince us that being the runner-up is the same as winning. Second-best is still losing, just to remind people of the pecking order of a contest.

Getting back to my point. The Morning Joe panel essentially questioned (and answered) how and why the RepubliKKKlan Party can still engender all the support it does from voters when its politicians have abandoned all their conservative principles — as if they had any — such as family values, small government, individual rights, and so forth. The answer is (always has been) simple: Voters don’t care! And RepubliKKKlan politicians know that voters don’t care. They just want to win — G.D. the means and their conservative principles. Nothing matters! Policies, principles, ideals. None of it matters, except maybe for the hate. RepubliKKKlans love the hate.

I wish dumbass Democrats would take a page (all the pages) from the RepubliKKKlan playbook! For the love of f***ing God, I wish Democrats would be just as ruthless and cutting as RepubliKKKlans — Fetterman is an example of such tactics. I’m not saying Democrats need to abandon (all) their principles, but they need to stop worrying about getting politically dirty, as if they must stay above the messiness and stick to being pure and beyond reproach. Case in point, Democrats have been quiet on the latest Walker revelations. Wrong! They need to jump on that sh*t and rub it in. Drive it home for those still — although incomprehensible at this point — on the fence for whom they will vote. But if I have to hear one more G.D. f***ing Democrat extol the virtues of not stooping to the level of RepubliKKKlans, then I’m going to lose my f***ing mind. Honestly, I don’t care (that much) if Democrats lie, cheat, and steal to keep power because I know that I’d rather live under Democratic governance than RepubliKKKlan dicta. As the well-worn (yet completely accurate) saying goes: Dumbass Democrats bring a knife to a gunfight. So weak! I give up. Welcome to stupid America!
