Defections Have Consequences

June 7, 2021

You are probably familiar with the phrase, “Elections have consequences.” In the case of the election that took place on November 3, 2020, the consequences are considerably different than the ones that gave rise to the previous adage. The consequences of the last election:

-      The Big Loser of that election has still refused to concede, preferring to fabricate and perpetuate the Big Lie – that he, and not the actual winner actually won. He is still, seven months later, exhorting his minions to continue to ignore the actual, codified, certified and legally binding results, and to continue pretending their guy who lost actually won.

-      Big Loser incited his cult of Radical White Terrorists to storm the Capitol, and hang his vice president, and any other stubborn legislators insisting on loyalty to the Constitution and disloyalty to The Big Lying Loser.

-      Big Loser’s cult did in fact act on said incitement and did storm the Capitol. They chanted hang Mike Pence as they sought out the hapless halfwit henchman of the Big Loser, and trashed the Capitol in their quest to assassinate Nancy Pelosi, et al, and overturn the election of the 46^th President of the United States, in what those who study history, governments and violent overthrows thereof call a coup d’état.

-      The second biggest loser, the Republican party, who lost control of both Houses of Congress continue to hold the government, and therefore the nation hostage.

-      Fabulists, conspiracy-obsessed mental defectives, fascists, racists, racist fascists and fascist racists have taken over the hearts and minds of the Republican Party to the detriment of everyone else.

-      Seventy percent of the Big Loser Party have convinced themselves, with the help of anti-social media, Russia and other domestic alternate-reality-propagandists, that their own attempted coup was carried out by Leftists bent on damaging Big Loser.

-      Almost every state Big Loser lost immediately set about crafting (if they did not long ago have them at the ready) and passing laws to stop the kinds of people who voted to boot Big Loser out on his dumb ass from voting. Those people by and large, to the surprise of no one are people of color.

The Republican Party has sold its soul* to the Douchebag. The Devil would have nothing to do with it.

By Any Means Necessary?

Big Loser devotee, alleged pedophile and campaign finance criminal, and undoubted bull-goose douchebag Matt Gaetz told a collective-single-digit IQ crowd in Georgia, “We have a Second Amendment in this country and I think we have an obligation to use it.” He further shrieked that the sacred Second Amendment was not about “recreation, or hunting or sports” (oddly, he left out mass murder, which does seem to be the most popular application of said amendment), but was in fact for “maintaining within the citizenry the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government if that becomes necessary.” He did mention, in a tone dripping with insincerity, that he hoped that did not become necessary.

 

Gaetz might be the only man alive to look less douche-y with Turmp’s “hair”

Note to Gaetz: You do know, I assume, that you are part of the government, at least for the time being. Not sure if you know what that all means. Might be a good idea to have someone read the Constitution to you – the whole thing, not just the last few words of the Second Amendment.

Other note to Gaetz: Be thankful that only radical white terrorists like yourself tend to jump to Second Amendment conclusions…so far. And remember…

at the California State Capitol in 1967.

Maybe Mr. Gaetz should choose his thoughts and words more carefully. It just might turn out that what’s good for the Gaetz is good for the Panther.

Considering all the anti-voting legislation targeting black voters, the only other thing Republicans (not now, not ever the party of Lincoln, other than in name only) can have left up their sleeves is reinstating slavery, or perhaps they will compromise by making African Americans 3/5 of a person, and either counting their votes accordingly or rescinding their right to vote altogether.

In other racist news, Republicans are now claiming that George Floyd is still alive**…but they don’t want him to vote.

“Hey, you know something people, I’m not black but there’s a whole lotsa times I wish I could say I’m not white.”

*Firstly, I am surprised it even had a soul. Second, if there was one, surely it was worthless, so it must have been a steal.

**This might not actually be true

I. Mangrey. If I am perpetually red-in-the-face with rage, does that make me at least an honorary person of color?
