Is it just me, or does this lull before the American Kristallnacht seem almost... anticlimactic? I'm so old I can remember when the worst we thought could happen was another riot at the Capitol, or a run on the certification process by a few Trump cultists.
My, but how the times do change. We're now staring down the barrel of what feels to me like the End of Civilization as We Knew It. Or certainly, "America" as we knew it. Or, more accurately. what we pretended it to be. The sad fact is that the guardrails are gone, the gloves are off, and they will soon have their blood letting.
"The People" have spoken, the same people who don't understand how tariffs work, or that "Obamacare" is how they get their health insurance, and that they just voted to keep themselves in poverty for the rest of their lives.
But as more and more MAGA fascists awaken to the fact that they can't travel between the states without their papers anymore, that women now require a "reason" to cross national borders, when they realize that a head of lettuce now costs $45, and Grandma lost her Social Security and lives with us now...?
I say, good. GOOD! This country needs to suffer for its sins, and Donald Trump is just the man to settle old scores. I, for one, am going to enjoy every fascist, bigoted tear drop when they realize that their Big Orange Daddy isn't just going to punish the hoards of brown people picking our cabbage and cleaning our homes. No, the bloodletting will be for all of you, too, the white and the stupid and the angry. The Christian, the zionist, the nazi, the thug: The chosen:
Bring me your bitter tears, you fuckers. Your misery sustains me.
