You know what the problem is?

Nearly half the fucking country wants the country to fucking fail because their fucking guy wasn't reelected.

Fuck them, fuck them right to hell.

Their ineptitude, their sloth, their greed, their wallowing in their self-inflicted and misplaced misery are the root causes for the problems we face.

Again, fuck them all to hell.

How strange is it that I run into to people just like me (50 something white as hell) who do these things:
Don’t watch football
Root against their team. USA. Or don’t watch or actually root FOR Russia.
Ignore “better safe than sorry”

I’m dumbfounded not by the world in disgust but it that it’s sitting right there in front of us. It’s right there. I can’t imagine how I live compared to when I was a kid.

Of the people saying tRump won, more like 30%, of those, about half don't believe what they are saying, but fear their base.

And am at The Tea Party with The Crazy Queen and The Egg Man, among others.

AS a kid, I never thought life in the USA would ever come to this pass.

Boy was I wrong.

My mother (smart as a whip) thinks "they" are trying to make a one gov't system for the world and it will be evil socialism. I asked who "they" was and she wouldn't say (however, she has mentioned the illuminati). She's 88, college educated, well read, and was always honest and wise. The problem is she watches right wing media and is evangelical.

90,540,628 who didn't vote at all +73.1 million juveniles and 10 million undocumenteds, who we now influence through the Biden administration, along with 81 million of ourselves.

It's only the 74 million trumpcult voters, only 23% of the population, that are the problem. Unless you want to throw in the 90.5 million who didn't vote at all. THEN we've got a problem.

Don't forget how media "mediates" and manages perception, hyping the 23% more than the rest of us. Also don't forget that Covid, the Jan 6 Committee and the DOJ are making a real dent in their influence in spite of media.

But I just can't say "fuck 'em all" to that 90.5 million. I say GOTFV on them and "fuck 'em all" to the 23%.

And that maxim is applicable for ALL the history of human development toward a civilization.
Their perpetual repressiveness has probably been determined by genetics. Amazingly, they can usually assimilate into society without too much disruption except when they speak to political realities. That is when they reveal an auto-psychotic response, finding facts intolerable, as if made of anti-matter or existed on a spectrum beyond their sensibilities.
