Well, it’s
not without entertainment value. This whole death spiral of the Republican
party that we’re witnessing. For most of my life, I’ve been told by
conservatives that THEY are the party of God. THEY are the ones who support
“traditional family values.” THEY are the ones who love the military. THEY are
the REAL Americans and they America better than us liberals and progressives,
because WE were the ones who wanted to DESTROY America. It’s kind of quaint to
type that now. When you chose Donald Trump to be your nominee for President of
the United States and when you continue to put a positive spin on every
outlandish turd that he shits out of his mouth, well, you’ve blown all that
other bullshit to smithereens. I’m talking nuclear annihilation. Trump is like
Slim Pickens in “Dr. Strangelove,” riding a nuclear warhead straight into the
heart of the GOP. He has shit on your religion. He has shit on the
Constitution. He has shit on your leaders. He has shit on women and minorities
and fire departments. He has shit on the military and those who have died
fighting for this country. And you not only let him get away with it, you cheer
it and hold your babies up to him, hoping a little bit of that Trump bullshit
will land on them, too. After all those years of your pious, bible-thumping,
we-are-the-true-patriots Americagasms, it turns out it was really about
worshiping money and the people who have it and wanting someone to make you
feel safe from all those scary brown people. Some of us kinda expected that all
along, but I appreciate the conformation. What do I mean by “worshiping money
and the people who have it?” Trump has money and in this country, if you can
make money, you automatically are a SMART PERSON AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT LEADER.
It totally does not matter if you were born into it and had a one million
dollar head start on everybody else. Oh, and by “brown people,” I mean the
Mexicans you’re so frightened of you want to build a wall to keep them out
because Berlin had the right idea. I also mean Muslims, who have a right to
practice their religion in this country, thanks to the Constitution you claim
to revere so damn much. I’m also talking about that black family that lives in
your neighborhood. The one you always said were some of “the good ones (wink),”
until they put a Black Lives Matter bumper sticker on their car and became the
enemy. That’s always been your thing, though, hasn’t it? Anybody, even your
fellow Americans, who don’t share the exact same shiny-white vision that you
have of this country is THE OTHER. It’s why you dry-hump the 2nd
Amendment and hoard all the weapons you can, because you never know when you
might have to fight your own government to stop tyranny (by the way, it will be
the death of irony when you lock and load and drive off to the battlefield to
fight the mean ol’ gubmint in your pickup truck with all the Blue Lives Matter
and I Support Our Troops bumper stickers on it). Republicans love to remind
Democrats that it was the Dems in the South that started the KKK all those
years ago, as if nothing ever changes or evolves. I’d like to remind
Republicans that they used to be the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt,
and Dwight D. Eisenhower. That grand old party is being brought down by a
two-bit con man who fantasizes about fucking his daughter. Of course, if he
wins, he could bring down the whole damn country.
