Atticus's JournalMy idea for an anti-Trump video:
You use several video snips of tfg actually saying racist, misogynistic or otherwise outrageous things with each followed by a clip of little "Joey" ( Brandon DeWilde ) in "Shane" plaintive calling "SHA-AME!" (instead of "Shane!" )
It could be our version of "Let's Go Brandon!"
Those trying to craft a message that will appeal to tfg's "poorly educated" should keep
in mind that many of these voters spell "moron" "m-o-r-a-n", write "are" when they mean "our" but have never misspelled "fuck", which is a word they toss out whenever they reach the limit of their stunted vocabulary.
"Hukt on fonnix werkt fer me!"
Ya know, I'm not so sure there is such a thing as "systemic racism".
And, do you realize that the whole "gravity" thing is just a THEORY?
And then, "viruses": I've never seen one and I have looked all over. Have any of you seen one?
Kinda makes ya think, don't it?
For those who are "casually" or "somewhat" interested in the midterms---
If YOU do not open your eyes and ears, get justifiably pissed off and DO something to help Democrats hold or increase our numbers in Congress, this actually, really, possibly may be the last election that will mean anything.
Yes, "everyone knows" that prevailing in this midterm is an "uphill battle" and "historically unlikely" for Democrats but, to put it plainly, if we do not get off our collective asses---if we watch while doing virtually nothing to defeat the smirking Forces of Darkness that are the alternative--- WE WILL NOT DESERVE TO LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY--------and we won't!
Democrats need money, phone bankers, canvassers, sign posters, LTE writers and rides to the polls. Surely, each of us can provide one or more of those.
Finally, passion is contagious. Display and spread yours.
It has now been over 48 hours---2 news cycles---since President Biden's lengthy
press conference during which he repeatedly asked "What are the Republicans FOR? What is Mitch FOR?"
If tfg or Mitch had challenged Democrats to state what we are for, I venture to say that several prominent members of our party would have been on the news programs the same day to proudly explain what we are for, what we want to accomplish and how we propose to do it.
So far, from tfg's party---unless I missed it---------(crickets)--------
I suspect that somewhere, paid GOP spin doctors and bumper sticker authors are mulling over their options.
BEAVIS: "How about-----no, not that! We could always say that we----Nah, no one would buy that! Taxes! Tell 'em we'll lower their taxes and---and---and increase Social Security benefits and cancel all their credit card debt and---and---and PONIES! We'll give every American a Pony!"
BUTTHEAD: "Heh-heh---that's lame, dude! We could never do all that!"
BEAVIS: "So? We don't have to DO it! Just SAY we will do it. Like always!"
BUTTHEAD: "Heh-heh, heh-heh!
The former guy tried to steal the last election by suppressing votes. That didn't work.
He tried to steal it by pressuring state officials to "find" thousands of non-existent votes for him. It didn't work.
He tried to steal the election by sending a crew of shyster ambulance chasers and a pillow merchant across the nation to stand in front of cameras and lie about stolen or flipped or discarded votes without offering a shred of evidence. That did not work.
He tried to steal it by coordinating forgeries by 59 Republicans in several states that produced lame bogus "cerified" slates of "electors". It didn't work.
After apparently being talked out of sending out the military to "seize the voting machines", he finally tried to steal the election---tbe presidency of the United States of America---by planning, financing and inciting a violent coup attempt by armed militias and a mob of his rabid followers. Thankfully, that did not work.
And, after all of these desperate anti-American failed attempts to override the will of the people and end the American democracy, can it really be true that millions of people claiming to be the "Party of Lincoln" are likely to select him as their candidate for the Presidency in 2024?
And, to top THAT, can it really be true that the rest of us may ALLOW the attempt to place this vulgar thug BACK into our White House?
Government MANDATES that you drive on the right side of the road.
Government MANDATES that you educate your children.
Government MANDATES that you pay various taxes.
Government MANDATES that your dog be vaccinated for rabies.
Government MANDATES that your children be vaccinated for mumps, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough and several other communicable diseases before they can attend schools.
Government MANDATES when you can hunt deer, how many and what sex you can kill and what type of weapon you can use.
Government MANDATES that you and your luggage be scanned and otherwise searched before you board an airplane.
Government MANDATES those wishing to engage in numerous different professions---doctors, lawyers, plumbers, beauticians---meet certain standards of knowledge and competency in order to obtain a license.
So, MAGATs and all other varieties of anti-vaxxers, what in the world is your reason for suddenly deciding that COVID VACCINATION MANDATES are a bridge too far, other than the obvious pleasure you get from outraging the sane vaccinated majority and "owning the libruls"?
( "Homina-homina-homina" is not an acceptable response. )
The rant light is ON: For anyone who endorsed or supported the former guy---
This is difficult to phrase without at least using some foul and vulgar language, but I will keep it toned down----HOW GODDAM STUPID WAS THAT?
What in hell were you thinking when you publicly associated yourself with someone who was a notorious liar, an admitted sexual predator and an arrogant draft-dodging spoiled child?
I claim no special wisdom, but none was required to accurately assess the self-centered nitwit who was your choice to run the country. All that was needed was two open eyes, one open mind and just a smidgen of common sense. And, oh yeah, it would've helped if your racism was not so inflamed by President Obama's election---twice!---that you were determined to vote for whoever---or whatever---ran against the "libtard Dumbocrat".
It is now known to all with an IQ above "houseplant" that everything Trump touches turns to shit. I'll try not to step in you.
Those who watch FOX or rely on anything it spews should understand this:---
---you are watching mouthpieces for billionaires, white supremacists and any foreign adversary that is critical of President Biden or democracy in general.
They are not just "the other side". Cheney and Kinzinger are the other side. Those you hear on FOX are bought-and-paid-for whores whose purpose is not to inform you; they are paid to manipulate you---use you.
Said plainly and simply, they are traitors defending, condoning and excusing the crimes of people like Putin and Trump while doing their best to hobble the Biden administration with slanderous exaggerations and outright lies.
Intelligent people don't watch FOX for the same reason they don't eat out of the toilet.
