Post-Election Thoughts, Part 1

Packing Up The Pieces

November 16, 2024

It has been challenging to do just about anything…like breathing for example, since that terrible, very bad, ugly day in early November – yet another Trump-related date that will live in infamy. Putting coherent thoughts together is a task more daunting than most, and much less enjoyable than ever.

Trump is determined to hit the ground ruining. Since he already used up all the worst people he could find to populate his first administration, he is scraping underneath the bottom of the barrel to find a new crop of deviant, demented clowns to soil the federal government this time around. If you are someone who was never frightened of clowns, prepare to start now. More on this cancerous circus later.

Trump will look to join the Axis of Assholes, playing back-up stinker to Putin, Xi and Kim. And, as Kamala Harris said, they will eat his lunch, which would kill most mortals. So, we’ll just have to wait and see.

It’s easy to understand people focusing on short-term needs/wants while ignoring long-term devastation. I guess it’s also easy to forget who caused the short-term woes – it’s the same fuckers who have been and refuse to stop causing the long-term death and destruction. It was the Trump-backing corporate overlords who are entirely unable to see anything but their net worth. Nothing else has value to them and the people who keep voting them into power are simply too stupid to have a say.

I am not in favor of literacy tests as such, certainly not solely for one particular segment (people of color leap to mind) of the population. I am in favor of having everyone – myself included – having to pass some sort of knowledge-of-civics with maybe a side of current events and history, or maybe who your fucking elected officials are quiz before being allowed in a voting booth. You have to pass a competency test before driving a car, why not require the same before allowing someone to drive the country into the ground?

People – we’ll call them people for the sake of argument – in several states voted to protect a woman’s right to choose while also voting for an admitted, nay proud pussy-grabbing rape-adjacent (at best) criminal, who has been credibly accused of at least sexual assault by more than two dozen women, and described by a judge as having committed the equivalent of rape against E. Jean Carroll.

Wait until these dipshits realize Trump’s plans to make America fucked again. Sorry, that was a bit unfair, Trump has no plan other than to staff every nook and cranny with ultra-loyal zombies who will do whatever he tells them. And to seek vengeance. And end democracy in America.

I. Mangrey, feeling a little sick and dizzy.
