Burning Bridges That Don’t Exist
February 2, 2026
To begin, I would like to apologize for what follows. I am
not happy to feel the need to say this, but we’re in a tight spot, and things
are likely to get darker before we are ever to glimpse the light again.
Desperate times like this call for, among other things, freaking the fuck out.
Despite my at times prickly exterior, I am by nature one who
prefers to build bridges. There is much talk these days about reaching across
the aisle/chasm between the Democratic Party and the Fascist/Trump Party. And
much pleading about building a bridge across the toxic divide between the two
Americas Barack Obama tried to convince us did not exist. Nice try, dude. The
sentiment is understandable…during normal times. These times could not be any
farther from normal. So, fuck that shit.
Clearly Trumpers will not go away, just as many among us are
still fighting the Civil War. These combatants are like the Japanese holdouts who
either doubted that Japan had surrendered or weren’t aware that the war had
ended because communications had been cut off by the Allies. Some feared execution
if they surrendered, or felt bound by honor and loyalty to never surrender. Trumpers
are rabidly loyal and have cut themselves off from communication with the real
world. Their Uncivil War will never end for them.
Unfortunately, one side of the divide can only be described,
if we’re being honest, as pro-fascist. This is not only evidenced by their fear
and loathing of anti-fascists, but more importantly by their undying,
unapologetic, unthinking support of the most authoritarian hairless** ape ever
to reside in, throw ketchup in and partially demolish what can now only be
called the Remains of the White House.
Is this your fucking guy?***
There is simply no bridge that can be built when one side of
the chasm is not just ablaze and booby-trapped, but is populated by dimwits who
are drinking heavily, armed, and blindly firing at will non-stop.
I cannot and will not abide those who support this fascist
regime or this dictatorial douchebag. For all its many, and well documented
flaws, I still appreciate the American democracy we have had for nearly 249
years up until Trump began shitting all over it, and I still have hopes for a
more perfect union. And that union does not include meddling with our own
elections, reigniting our imperialist meddling in other countries, or anyone in
our government, let alone the goddam president literally and figuratively
dry-humping our flag and tearing at the fabric of our Constitution by among
other things sending the military into our cities to combat non-existent
threats, and execute peaceful protesting citizens. Fuck that shit.
This is your fucking guy?***
I cannot make peace with those who applaud a demented
autocrat who keeps bragging about passing repeated cognitive tests as though
that meant he was now a member of MENSA, or those who would support said
autocrat who invaded another country and kidnapped their leader, the last straw
being because their (autocratic, asshole) leader mocked his pathetic excuse for
dancing.
I cannot tolerate those who ignorantly worship a man who
allows (demands?) his Department of Whores War Defense to punish
a decorated veteran, now Senator – whose politician wife was shot in the head
while engaging with constituents – for reminding active-duty military of their
oath, which includes the requirement to not follow illegal orders. Guilty
conscience much?
THIS IS YOUR FUCKING GUY!***
I will not attempt to engage or reason with these people.
They are, to coin a phrase, deplorable. They are irredeemable, unless they
themselves one day look in the mirror and say “What the fuck was I thinking?
This guy I’ve been literally worshiping is a disgrace to humanity. He is
ruining this country; he will be responsible for countless deaths right here in
America (on top of the hundreds of thousands he killed with his mishandling of
the COVID pandemic) and he’s threatening the world order.” Then we can talk.
Nope. I do not like this Orange Scam. I hate these assholes
Sam I Am.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
