More Economic Anxiety

 

I'm sure it's just day-to-day stress causing this.

Add in elite media bias -- TFG and JD said some truly vile stuff that got sanewashed and normalized. Joe Biden couldn't rightly call out garbage as garbage without a full court shitstorm, which of course includes -- requires -- allegedly librul types to join. 

National politics in the US these days is almost like an abusive relationship. Democrats constantly find themselves on pins and needles, having to justify any/all policies and proposed legislation through the lens of "a conservative country," while the GOP openly courts bigots, misogynists, and racists, all with the explicit approval of the political press, which now considers fascist language acceptable enough to win-the-day. 

But something tells me we won't see that mentioned. Instead, we're already being told Kamala Harris was too woke.

Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. 

Have a nice weekend. 

Not Buying The Inflation Argument

 

Calling bullshit regardless of what anyone else says. 

Inflation wasn't the reason, it was the excuse. 

Economically anxious people don't spend thousands of dollars on guns and ammo, vehicles almost as large as my residence, or MAGA-branded gear, etc. 

Hate is a drug, and they're high AF on it.

So, no, I'm not meeting hatred half way. 

As to my personal future, well...day-to-day, for now. My actual life, or semblance of one, is OK, knock on wood. I'll keep plugging away as long as I feel modest inspiration, and to the few who stop by, thanks as always.

Thoughts

 

As you probably expect, not exactly an uplifting twenty four hours, and the next four years aren't likely to be any better. 

I'll echo others saying we really thought the country was better than, um, TFG and his Mini-Me.  

Guess we were wrong, and the Hunter Thompson line about a nation of used car dealers is as true today as it was in 1972. 

More here if you haven't read it yet.

So, I'll mourn the loss, and obviously need to evaluate my future actions in light of living in a country that chose not just fascism, but a particularly vengeful, venal, stupid, bigoted and ugly form of it. 

Back tomorrow...

Gut Punch

Not over, but damn.

Back tomorrow. 

All Over But The Shouting

 

Hoping for some major MAGA butt hurt. 

Guess we'll find out. 

Sigh, sending TFG on a one way trip to Alsoranville, in the realm of Loserdom, is a good start, but it's not the end. 

There's a substantial number of bug-fuck crazies, and the elite media will go all out to sanewash them in the name of whatever (balance, existing bias, etc.). 

So, I hope, the page is turned, but there's still a whole lot of chapters left.
