America is young and dumb (we’ve all been there). Grown-up countries have been saying it for years. Brash and ignorant, mistaking mistakes of inexperience for originality, America is a problem child suffering from unconscious incompetence. With guns. Lots of guns.
Since the unfortunate creation of “social” media (which, let’s be honest, has resulted in far more antisocial behavior than the desirable opposite) America has shat two whole generations of FNB republicans (Fox News Brain). FNB republicans demonstrate the reasoning ability of bat turds… proudly. Guano, but without the ability to fertilize substantive growth. Its only function is to expand the funk (the smelly, not the Kool kind). The republican base is acidic in nature and repulsive to all but the arse that produced it. Donald Trump loves his own shit (why do you think he got a gold toilet?), and he loves his base. They buy everything he sells, and selling is all Trump knows.
The Republican voter base is crazy because it came from the food of Rush Limbaugh, stewed in the pot of Sean Hannity, spiced with the quackery of Tucker Carlson, eaten by Donald J. Trump, and finally shat out into the gold toilet of the monetization of politics.
To maintain power and relevance, the Republican Party throws its base at the world like a chimp his own feces at his cage. Splat. Spatter. Stench. Repeat. The GOP uses its base to repulse and confuse others. Defiant, well-armed crap that hugs itself while boasting of its own ignorance…. I mean… how does one deal with that? No one seems to have figure that out yet. The Republican Party throwing its voter base America is like knocking on your neighbor’s door and throwing the cartoon Tasmania Devil at them upon opening it. It’s shocking and unmanageable. And it smells. And it has guns. Lots of guns, so while our instinct is to smack it away, we’re scared it might lose it and start shooting.
Ignorance is bliss. But in the Republican Party, gullibility reins, which is why a carnival barker is at the helm of this nightmare that is American puberty. Republican base voters are little more – if not less – than animatronic shit with a hardon for guns, distrust of Truth, and a weakness for snake oil salesmen. They believe in magical cures more than Jesus – or are those two things the same?… if they truly believed in Jesus teachings, they’d destroy their guns and start talking about social justice, not political purification. No serious religion or religious thinker would claim otherwise (just ask the pool boy).
But where does that leave you and me? How does sanity survive republicanism in the heat of the 2020 presidential election? And once we get past that… how do we get the GOP to stop throwing crap at the world?
… I don’t think we do. Every dying animal shits itself. It’ll happen to me and it’ll happen to you. What we are witnessing now -– it is my hope above all hopes – is the final bowel evacuation of the Republican Party as it lies on its deathbed. We have to let it die. It cannot be fixed. Once it’s gone we can pick up the pieces and rebuild what they have destroyed.
