Feeling Blue Anonish


I mean, my rational brain has no proof of anything going on that would stop Trump (Musk and Vance and their various going concerns through Trump) from taking office, but some part of me really, really thinks there ought to be? 

Like it's dumb and not happening and no controlling mechanism that I know of--but still?

I would very much prefer it if a kind of lunatic corrupt, insurrectionist jackaloon was not going to be made president just because a whole bunch of my fellow countrymen seem to be dumb, spiteful, mis-and dis-informed shooting pigeons. As if there actually were grown-ups somewhere who could call a do-over or takesies-backsies or something. I know these aren't real things!


But I want them to be because talk to me like I'm five about this, OK?  He is bad. A cheat, a bigot, a letch. Even the people pro-this guy kind of know it. Why isn't it enough? What part of many-times indicted and partially convicted isn't hitting? What part of vengeance and senility and rambling about windmills feels good?

I'm not the one to say what goes down, but if I were? Somebody would be doing some shit about it. That's all I got. I know other people feel the same way, and while I feel like it's all far-fetched, I get it. After Comey and Mueller and Jack Smith, still and all. I get it. 

It looks bad because it is bad. And yet here he stays.

While the punishments for Watergate were not as far-reaching as they should have been, I remember believing that most of the rot had been dug out, and that sort of thing would not happen again. If it did, "someone" would "do something."

This time it seems there is no one to carry this particular ball across the goal line. We are fucked.

The GOP has taken stock of who they are and what they stands for, and have determined that the actual rot was having a sense of shame at all. Subsequently, they have proceeded to dig it out like a painful splinter in the paw, impeding their race to hell.
