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!
