Can you die of despair? It’s a question I ask myself a lot these days. I went to bed early election night, the writing was on the wall and I did not wish to see the horror to it’s inevitable end. I cried until I slept, I began to question my own sanity. I woke to a dawn where I loathed Americans, where I began to wonder if despair would kill me. I don’t understand how or why people voted for a vulgar con artist who lived in Putin’s pocket, I never will. Anyone still defending that vote is pure evil or a complete idiot and we have nothing to say to each other....ever. If your religion demanded you vote republican then you worship Satan, or Cthulhu, either way....
I began to see the ugly agenda Americans voted for, women are not people but chattel to be used and discarded at will. Eggs have rights and citizenship (if white and christian). Babies do not, children are assets and disposable, factory equipment if you will. Churches and corporations are people, individuals are not unless they are on the board. Taxes will be simplified by setting it to:
Amount earned last year __________
If line one is less than $2,000,000.00 pay amount on line one
Gotta admit, it’s simple anyway, as is anyone who voted for trump.
I have campaigned for candidates, phone banked, anything, trying to get better politicians. And here I am still ignored by my senators whom I call and/or email almost daily. I’m not represented in Congress, Brett Guthrie does not answer me either, kind of a worthless lot really. No one answers the phone, no one answers email, they represent the rich only, everyone else is fed a banquet of bullshit via lying newsletters. If Congress was struck dead by a meteor from space I would probably get better representation from the god damn meteor! As for that sack of perversions and stupidity and it’s vile family squatting in the White House......I pray it has a stroke and dies every night. Please trump, make America great again by dying of a heart attack or a stroke or something.
I’m watching my country die of greed and stupid....and as always malice, racism and misogyny. If there is a light at the end of this tunnel it’s probably just the end of the tunnels on fire. Al Franken grabbed a woman’s ass! He must resign! No....censure? yes, apologies? Yes, immediately. Fine? Might be an option. Resignation? Are you kidding me? No, that’s overkill for something not proven to be persistent and on going behavior. Am I disappointed? Yes, I am, do better Franken. Calls for resignation are asking for too much, it’s like getting the death penalty for shoplifting. In no way am I saying he did nothing wrong, but, do all crimes deserve banishment and execution? I mean yeah, why should the republicans have all the fun destroying the democrats, we can destroy ourselves too! Wheeeee! Let’s destroy or banish all our politicians because they probably all did something we can hate them for retroactively, redemption is just a word right? And yes...I’ve been a victim, it’s not a competition, no one wins and we all lose. And guess what, they will still vote for Moore the kiddie fondler because he denied it and we gotta get our agenda through and a Democrat will kill us all. But by all means let’s treat Al Franken like he’s a serial rapist and demand he fall on his sword. Let’s not investigate him or anything either...no redemption.
After they get all the rabid theocratic judges in place it won’t matter anymore anyway. We are all just so much debris to be starved out or executed. My kids will be working thanksgiving because Christmas ate it. It’s become the corporate religious holiday that trumps everything in its path. If thou will not worship at its lighted alter and praise its holy black ink, then thou shalt be sacrificed to it. Thanksgiving, the family holiday that we spend money and burn our time finding a parking space so we can get into fistfights over merchandise at Walmart. Well, that and crushing people to death...c’mon it’ll be fun! Could be the last time women will be allowed outside without a male relative or husband to keep them safe don’t you know, pence rule and all. Can’t tell men not to rape so it’s on women to be sheltered because men are just rapists by nature as god intended (sarcasm is hard to spot these days). Guess we will be flogging women who screw up and lead men into temptation by...I don’t know...existing?
I don’t know...can you die of despair? I may not survive until mueller time, if that even means anything anymore. The emperor turd Paul Ryan will die before he surrenders his randian vision. He will kill us all and bury us in mass graves to bring his dreams true. Is there a way back? Is there a future besides the new dark ages? I’m sorry, I don’t see it. I will die fighting, but, I fear it’s a losing battle. I’m just too mean and stubborn to surrender, the bastards are gonna have to kill me to get me to stop.
stomp on me and I will bite my way up through your boots!
