In an excellent article from The Guardian, the author writes, “At this supreme moment of crisis, the left has divided into warring factions completely incapable of confronting the seriousness of the moment. There are liberals who retain an unjustifiable faith that their institutions can save them when it is utterly clear that they cannot. Then there are the woke, educational and political elites dedicated to a discourse of willed impotence. Any institution founded by the woke simply eats itself – see TimesUp, the Women’s March, etc – becoming irrelevant to any but a diminishing cadre of insiders who spend most of their time figuring out how to shred whoever’s left. They render themselves powerless faster than their enemies can. What the American left needs now is allegiance, not allyship. It must abandon any imagined fantasies about the sanctity of governmental institutions that long ago gave up any claim to legitimacy. Stack the supreme court, end the filibuster, make Washington DC a state, and let the dogs howl, and now, before it is too late. The moment the right takes control of institutions, they will use them to overthrow democracy in its most basic forms; they are already rushing to dissolve whatever norms stand in the way of their full empowerment. The right has recognized what the left has not: that the system is in collapse. The right has a plan: it involves violence and solidarity. They have not abjured even the Oath Keepers. The left, meanwhile, has chosen infighting as their sport. … There is one hope, however, that must be rejected outright: the hope that everything will work out by itself, that America will bumble along into better times. It won’t. Americans have believed their country is an exception, a necessary nation. If history has shown us anything it’s that the world doesn’t have any necessary nations [emphasis added].”
This was a fantastic article, and I encourage everyone to read it carefully. Of course, much of it echoes what I have been saying for well over a year now, and the portion I quoted above is particularly germane to my incessant argument: Dumbass Democrats are contributing to the end of America’s democracy. One may actually be forgiven for believing that I hate dumbass Democrats more than RepubliKKKlans, given how often I bash the left for its incompetence and reliance on hope as a change motivator. Honestly, it depends on the day how true that observation is. Apparently, I am not the only one. The selection above says it all. Dumbass Democrats (politicians and voters alike) are too f***ing weak, stupid, blind, and apathetic to the danger that is the RepubliKKKlan Party. How many times have I said that Democrats need to get out of the hope-y, change-y B.S. mindset? How many f***ing times? I am literally to the point that the moment I hear a Democratic politician say the word “hope,” I stop listening to anything that comes out of their mouth afterward because it’s all pansy sh*t. “I hope RepubliKKKlans will do the right thing.” “I hope insurrectionist organizers cooperate with the House January 6 Select Committee.” “I hope anti-vaxxers will get vaccinated.” “I hope AG Garland prosecutes the insurrectionist planners.” “I hope RepubliKKKlans don’t act like hypocrites.” Un-f***ing-believable. What a f***ing joke.
Democrats need to start fighting back and stop expecting some fanciful return to normal whereby RepubliKKKlans come to their senses to become willing partners and participants in democracy again. That state of the Union is gone forever, yet we have Biden trying to drag us back to normalcy and to some quaint notion of decorum while the right is ready to fight and destroy America. In fact, they are fighting and destroying now in plain sight. Democrats think by merely passing Biden’s agenda, they can win elections. That is not how it works, f***tards. Voters are not that smart; they are not paying attention; they don’t care. Recall, Democrats were decimated in the mid-term elections following the passage of the ACA because voters were too stupid to actually understand the benefits of the new law that people would come to enjoy and fear losing a decade later. (I could write 10,000 words about how Democrats keep overestimating the intelligence of voters as their primary political error. However, I digress.) But Democrats don’t fight because they are just too m*****f***ing G.D. weak! I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat myself again: Dumbass Democrats need to turn on and turn up the rage and fear machine to get their voters out to the polls every time. F***! I can’t stand it anymore! Whatever! I give! Our democracy was lost the second traitor trump was elected in 2016, and nothing has changed the course of America’s demise since. Oh, well. No one cares! Welcome to stupid America, but not for long.
