Thought For Thanksgiving Day

Democrats ≠ Ratpublicans

August 23, 2023

For some, this is a day for giving thanks. Good luck with that. For this moment, I am thankful that I was raised in a democratic Democratic household. The other major party in this country has been riddled with political and moral cancer for my entire life, beginning with disgraced, nearly-impeached and forced to resign from office Richard Nixon. The party has since barreled headlong to become a toxic brew of racism, sexism,  and fascist fuckery. And now, as any and all treatment options have failed miserably, they are succumbing to debilitating dementia. They are totally fucked and planning to take us all down with them. 

This is known as Thankstaking.

Who's On Worst

Many people like to talk about how Washington, DC is just plain broken. Both parties, according to these people, are equally to blame.

Maybe.

Bothsiderism is zombie-like – it is difficult to kill and eats human brains for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As much of corporate media bends over backward to be fair, balanced and stupid, the public is led to believe things like Joe Biden’s age is as bad a Donald Trump’s brain damage, crime and fascism.

Famous reporter bending over backwards

I would like to take a moment to simply throw out a few names that have had major impacts on our politics in modern times:

Joe McCarthy
Barry Goldwater
Richard Nixon
Henry Kissinger
Pat Buchanan
Newt Gingrich
Rush Limbaugh
Alex Jones
George WTF Bush
Dick Cheney
Tucker Carlson
Donald Trump
Sam Alito
Clarence Thomas
John Roberts
Ron DeSantis
Koch Brothers
Mitch McConnell

And that’s just off the top of my head.

Some lesser lights whose impact is currently significant, but who may in the long run end up rotting near the bottom of the dumpster of history:

Rand Paul
Lindsey Graham
Tommy Tuberville
Ron Johnson
John Kennedy
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Lauren Boebert
Kevin McCarthy
Rudy Giuliani
Jim Jordan
Matt Gaetz
Mike Flynn
Mike Lindell
Basically, the entire so-called Republican Party today

How many of these people would you guess (or know full well) are Democrats.

To be sure there have been plenty of nitwit Democrats, but they have not been particularly impactful in the big picture – like Illinois governor Rod Blogoyavich (who tried to sell off Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat and was ultimately pardoned by Trump). And like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who have been absolutely horrible. Why? Because they have spent much of their time in office acting like Republicans. And New Jersey senator Bob Menendez who is now alleged to have been working as an agent for a foreign government.

Oh yeah, and Bill Clinton got a blow job.

Freak out…

I mean, Peace Out.

Or if you prefer, Happy Thanksgiving.
