Per the
preceding post, and our premature jubilation, yet another mea culpa/apology
appears to be in order. Shortly after posting our relief that Don was not going
to be as bad as we thought, he went full Death-To-America. Lashing out like a
cornered, rabid badger, it is clear his goal is to eliminate law, order, women*and
people of color* for starters.
What we
are seeing is the Thelma and Louising of America.
Just
like in the hit movie Thelma & Louise, Don, as Louise, is driving the car
off the cliff at full speed. The main difference is Il Douche has the car in
reverse. Maybe that’s for the best. At least we won’t see the cliff’s edge or
the abyss until it’s too late. What a guy.
Don
has thrown this country into reverse like there was no yesterday. Get rid of
DEI, affirmative action, civil rights, low drug prices for those on Medicaid, Obamacare,
and Social Security, act like Jan 6 never happened, erase the Fourteenth
Amendment, bring back racial profiling, and of course reverse climate crisis
responses. Don wants to get YMCA back on Billboard’s top five and have
us party like it’s 1933. Oh, and the
all-important-reason-people-gave-for-voting-for-Don – egg prices. Apparently,
they wanted that price to go through the roof.
Deadly
Don has stopped the funding for repairing roads, bridges, airports, and ports
that passed Congress in a bipartisan vote in 2022, as well as taken away
funding for new solar manufacturing plants and other new systems to address
climate change.
Newly
minted Secretary of State Little Marco Rubio has already stopped funding to
Ukraine and all other foreign aid except that to Egypt and Israel.
The newly
enthralled…I mean installed Department of Trump’s Justice has put a freeze on its
civil rights division. If you’re not white, you’d better find a way to fix that
in a hurry. Prepare for an edict claiming that race is a choice.
Der
Furor has also frozen all travel and communications at the Department of Health
and Human Services, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and the National Institutes of Health. Because, why the fuck not. One
researcher commented, “We’ve never seen anything like this. This is like a
meteor just crashed into all of our cancer centers and research areas.”
We’re
gonna need a bigger meteor.
If we might continue the above movie analogy, just as Don is putting the ultimate pedal to the metal, Thelma says, “Let's not get caught. Let's keep going”. Apparently, as of November 5, 2024, the part of Thelma is being played by America. Unfortunately, the analogy breaks down a bit since only less-than-half of America chose to go along for the ride, and really Don as Louise would be the one uttering the above quote. Let’s call it poetic license.
