Lord of the Fries

[H2O Man]

"Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood."
-- William Golding; Lord of the Flies; 1954; chapter 4, page 58.


I had a novel idea while watching the morning news. Imagine, if you will, a shipload of mainly republicans being stranded on an island. Recognizing that the opportunity exists for them to create a self-government based upon a mutated form of christian nationalism that worships the bloated pre-corpse of a sociopathis swine, they seek to inflict their fears and hatreds upon all inhabitants of the island.

Leadership is based upon three things: who has the biggest mouth, who tells the biggest lies, and who has a tiny, mushroom-shaped penis. The last qualification is required for leadership among this tribe of women-hating males, although their ranks will accept applications from women-hating women.

This is the classic setting for "crowd psychology" versus individuality with a twist of crowd psychopathy. The struggle between emotional urges and rational thinking. Immoral group passions versus individual morality. Scenes of sacrificing massive quantities of McDonald's french fries -- let's call them "freedom fries" -- to the orange blob. Heinz ketchup dripping from the walls.

I haven't gotten to where adults, led by Jack Smith, arrive to give these boys a damned good spanking. But I'm working on it. I'm thinking that the best outcome would be if the good people of the United States stand up and "kill" the maga swine in the 2024 election. Indeed, the 2024 election will not be a Hollyweird flick based upon my novel. It is real life, not reel life. We are facing a threat to our democracy that is more dangerous than any we have faced inhistory. And we have the opportunity to crush it. Let's roll.

[EYESORE 9001]

1. I envision a leader who will stand up and denounce their lies and lawlessness

This leader would proceed to instruct us to go forth and do the same. Proclaim the truth and drown out their lies.

[H2O Man]

4. I think the

Democratic Party in general, and President Biden specifically, are leading all sane people in the right direction. I think the maga cult will continue to seek to hang anyone who doesn't do what the orange blob demands.

[Probatim]

2. Are you planning to make the women angrier, meaner, dumber than the men?

Or just acquiescent brood mares?

It seems they fall in to one of those two categories.

[H2O Man]

3. Matjorie Taylor Greene.

Next question.

[Probatim]

8. Does she lure the other republicans to their deaths using the promise of sex?

Most of the "men" in the party (e.g., Cruz, Hawley, Paul, McCarthy, etc.) are terrified of her - she does that a few times until they figure out what's going. Then she kills 5-6 of them who decide to take her out as a group.

That could be a several chapter arc.

[H2O Man]

9. She is a leader

in the war on women's rights to health care.

On a serious note, I think the issue of abortion is likely to get a portion of women who are registered republicans to vote for Democratic Party candidates in 2024. While that might seem a relatively insignificant amount, in close election contests, every vote counts. I think the maga cult has become too extreme for all thinking people.

[Probatim]

12. Of that, I'm well aware - and that makes her a traitor to her gender and a threat to the country.

I also think the reaction to the republican party's abhorrent platform will cost them quite a few votes. They recognize that too and have taken steps to disenfranchise as many voters as possible in states where they have power.

Their plans for making it difficult for college students, POC, and the disabled to vote might make up for some/most of the gains due to Roe v. Wade's reversal.

[H2O Man]

13. Their long-time tactic

on steroids, for sure.

Apparently, the defendent has a "town hall" this evening. I look forward to hearing his rant against Jack Smith. I'm confident that he will be out of control.

[malaise]

5. It's rolling time!

Brilliant

[H2O Man]

6. Thank you!

A good friend had demanded that I post something yesterday. I started an essay last night, but told her this morning it would have to wait until at least tomorrow to post, due to today's excitement. Finally we compromised with me writing a quick throw-away, which this by definition is.

7. Wonderfully

put.

[H2O Man]

10. Thanks!

This is a wonderful day! I don't feel guilty taking breaks from my outdoor work to come in and check the news! It looks like possibly on Thursday the defendent will get some bad news. Very bad news!

[mzmolly]

11. Here's hoping

Thursday is a very good day for Democracy.

[H2O Man]

14. From the news

that I've seen, his legal team is scrambling to find if others got a similar letter from Mr. Smith. Obviously, the defendent isn't going to appear before the grand jury between now and Thursday. I'm curious if his legal team will opt to meet with federal prosecfutors in that time period, as they did on the document case?

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

15. "The horror! The horror!"

[H2O Man]

16. Ha!

I'm really looking forward to the defendent's ranting at his town hall tonight!

[barbtries]

17. i feel like it's the last call for Democracy.

admittedly i have felt this way before, but never so profoundly.

[H2O Man]

18. I agree.

I think that by its nature, democracy means constant struggle. Thus, there have been numerous extremely important flash points, some before I was born, and many since. And I've seen a progression in the toxicity of that threat since 2000.

If enough of us are active participants in this struggle, we win. If not, everyone loses.
