Maybe it's just me ...

[NanceGreggs]

I have no idea why illiterate book-banners who worship an orange-faced lard-ass, who think flushing official documents down the toilet is normal, believe that an election was stolen without any proof, elect representatives who promote the idea of Jewish Space Lasers, cling to the historical achievement of shutting down airports in 1775, realize that a world-wide pandemic is a hoax, don't understand the difference between a violent attack on the Capitol and legitimate political discourse, and swill their own piss while waiting for JFK to return from the dead are not given more respect.

These voices need to be heard. And hopefully, they'll be heard in time.

1. They can't believe they lost an election where they were never ahead in the polls

And when they were defeated people danced in the street as if they had deposed a dictator. It’s not like the previous election where most people actually wanted Hillary to win

2. Time to remind them that Elvis left the building some time ago.

3. Don't know

if we can return the toothpaste back in the tube. Their assault on education, cultural wisdom and history will be an arduous task to return to 'normal.'

15. How to put toothpaste back in tube. Toothpaste tubes are made with plastic.

Unscrew the tube top cap and squeeze the paste out on a small plate and replace the top cap.
Cut the tube bottom off with scissors just above the end.
With a blunt knife, spread the two sides apart to open the tube at the bottom.
Scrap the paste off the plate with the knife and scoop it into the tube from the bottom.
With needle nosed pliers squeeze the bottom ends back together and push the paste to the tube top.
With the pliers, hold the bottom together about 1/4” up from the tube end.
Use a lighter to melt the plastic until it gets very soft (caution, do not touch the hot plastic).
Move the pliers down to squeeze the hot ends together and hold until cool. You may fold the ends a little to insure a tight seal.
The toothpaste is back in the tube and ready for use.
Caution do not breath the hot plastic fumes. Well, maybe just a little at the end.

16. Or save yourself all that work and just throw it away

and get a new unspoiled tube. Same with the trumpers.

4. None of them have any social consciousness, just a fragile ego, a compass with no magnet

And an authoritarian nature that wants to displace the rule of law with the rule of moi.

5. "We must REACH OUT to these people and try to UNDERSTAND them,"

he said, while polishing his Neville Chamberlain Scout "Good Conduct" medal.

But in the meantime, if they offer you a nice warm drink, don't accept.

6. do not turn away from them shaking your head...

... and say to yourself, "..how stupid can you be..."...
... because with out fail, they interpret that as a challenge ...
... I've learned the hard way that every time I think it's as low as it can go, there's new depths to their actions....

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. And that includes all the voices in their heads, too.

[Martin Eden]

8. I do believe those voices need to be heard

And thoroughly exposed for their inherent dangerous idiocy.

[Tommymac]

9. It's just you Nance...

keeping them in the crosshairs of Truth.

We must call them out every single day.
Ridicule them every single day.
Shame them every single day.
Shine the light on them every single day and watch them scuttle about.

They'll never learn or go away, but all the sane Homo Sapiens will thank us for doing it.

[MOMFUDSKI]

10. Fabulous rant!

You rock

[benfranklin1776]

12. Indeed they do!

By Nurse Ratched in the state mental hospital. The problem is the corporate media giving them undue attention and legitimizing their shared, intentional delusion as somehow worthy of equal consideration because it’s merely “ a different point of political view”. 🤬

[solara]

13. It's certainly not 'just you'

Your turns of phrase are impeccable & inspiring as always. You nailed one of the major problems of these dark & foolish times by describing some of the ridiculous & dangerous Q-galvanized wet-dreams of the insane, barely conscious remnant of the GOP

You speak for many, many people every time you put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard?)

Again, thank you

[BlueIdaho]

14. Useful Idiots

Gleefully participating in the willful destruction of democracies here and abroad. They say a lot of stupid shit but what they do is deadly serious. We ignore them at our own peril.

[paleotn]

20. They were never able to reach a wide audience, or achieve critical mass

before social media. Back in the day, you dealt with this shit from your crazy uncle at Thanksgiving or occasionally at the corner pub from some goof who's perpetually drunk. A couple of nutters at church or at school board meetings, but rarely other than that. It certainly wasn't ubiquitous. Information passed through various gatekeepers who weeded out the complete bullshit. Wasn't perfect by any means, but it worked for the most part in the west. Today....the nuts, morons and imbeciles are united thanks to Twitter, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. Make the world more open and connected? Some people don't NEED to be fucking connected. For all our sakes. But technology rolls on. What can you do?
