TWGB: Occupied America

 

Trump seems to be closing in on the finish line by wallowing in increasingly "blood and soil" fascist, anti-immigrant rhetoric, so I want to point out that there is a kind of irony that he wants to pretend there is an "occupied America." This depends upon a Pizzagate-level bit of idiocy--that a whole town could be occupied by a gang and it wouldn't be front-page news. Just like there could supposedly be a rash of pet-murders and it wouldn't be a major thing if it were actually true. And just like the mayor of Springfield had to come out and debunk Trump/Vance lies, the mayor of Aurora had to do the same. 

"Occupation" is an interesting term. I can think of, for example, the Bundy ranch militia occupation, which had checkpoints and everything. But you know what I really think about? MAGA occupation of the public sphere in terroristic ways. Like way FEMA operations in North Carolina were recently disrupted by a local RW militia. One man has since been arrested

You want to know who has also been threatened? Meteorologists. That's insane. But they are getting threats for talking about climate change. As opposed to, I guess, talking about weather machines in the possession of Zionist Communist multi billionaires, or whatever the stupid conspiracy theory is today. 

You could well ask, as former President Obama thoughtfully asked--"When did this become okay?" This is certainly not how it used to be. We didn't, for example, think of a riot at the Capitol as Speaker Mike Johnson recently stupidly put it, part of the election process. Maybe we could have once counted on responsible adults calling out Italian satellites, Venezuelan voting machines, German servers, Chinese thermostats and the like as being deadass stupid. 


But now we have influencers who can send flying monkeys in to threaten hospitals and schools and private businesses for various stupid reasons. We have a former NSA who contributes to national IN-security. And Trump might very well want him back.

This is a guy who just recently told our "Burning Babylon" friends at the Church of the Iron Rod he wanted to unleash hell on people. American people. 

This is also a guy who is like, one-degree removed from the cat who was picked up at the Trump Coachella horseshit farm event in an episode laughingly described as a possible third assassination attempt. 

None of this is normal, all of this is TrumpWorld bullshit--intimidation and terroristic threats--the kind that have been levied at election workers and government officials, newsrooms, and other pillars of a safe and free society, This, the spreading of conspiracy theory swill like the fake election fraud stuff and the demonization of our fellow citizens--lies about post-birth abortion, school nurses doing gender reassignment surgeries, kids using litter boxes because they identify as various animals--this shit has got to end.

We are being occupied by home-gown violent idiots. This carnival of lies and nastiness has to end with Trump's ignominious defeat. And let's not forget who this "ringmaster" is:



A corrupt, felonious old bastard who is clearly losing it and has a campaign run by grifters and weirdos?  

We have got to get beyond this fucking Thunderdome for Fuckups.

"looking for something we can rely on,
there's gotta be something better out there!
ooh, love and compassion,
their day is coming (coming)!
all else are castles built in the air."

I see TrumpWorld as "Living under the fear, until nothing else remains"--Project 2025 looks to me like paranoid rich/theocratic people deciding prepper times are going to come anyway, so let's get this Mad Max bumfight started. Normie Republicans have signed on, not knowing that to architects of the collapse, they, too, are the bums.

Drone-Mania!!

  You know, while the quality of mercy is not strained with respects to highly performative Republican arsehats, the benefit of the doubt ha...
