America’s Greatest Pandemic

 Is stupidity.

We all saw it this week as a bunch of white people were gathered together by the biggest con man to run this country in the hopes to overtake the government, kill the vice-president and destroy our democracy.

We saw their smirks and selfies as they shit in the halls of the senate and smeared their feces on the walls. The videos of them in Nancy Pelosi’s office, stealing her things and mocking her hard work and position.

Oh yeah... we saw the zip ties and mace. The guns and the noose. We saw their hearts and their egos. We saw how easily they were led and how quickly they were left standing asking “now what?”

They yelled democracy was being stolen from them as they tried to destroy democracy completely. They screamed the left are fascists while their leader asked them to rebel against a legal election that he rightfully lost.

We saw that they hate America with the very essence of their beings because America is not white and Christian and they are racists asswipes who are terrified of melanin. 

And Donald Trump told them “I love you. Go home” while the rest of America was counting the dead from a virus he doesn’t care about ravages our world. 

So we’re waiting to see what our elected officials are going to do as a fucking fiend holds the nuclear codes and any moment our world could be in flames. (I swear to God, Nancy Pelosi had to see her office violated and still thought she should be polite in the wake of this...)

It’s a mad time and the worst of it isn’t over. January 20th Joe Biden takes the oath of office and these right wing sheep might try again. After all, this isn’t the America they want and violence is okay as long as it isn’t against them.

And don’t get me started on the police who turned their backs and pointed these insurgents toward Adam Schiff’s office. For anyone saying Blue Lives Matter, just recognize that the average street cop is as racist and ignorant as these yahoos and more than happy to tear it all down.

This is the America Donald Trump has left us with and I don’t believe it’s fixable. Not in my lifetime. We were always heading into a wall (not the one that Mexico was paying for) and now we’ve hit it head on. We’re not coming back stronger after this. Trump has shown our enemies how easily we can be defeated and how little effort it will take.

He might nuke the world before January 20. He might not. But he most definitely destroyed us.

  1. How scary is it that a few inciteful words from the orange in chief could cause such chaos? I mean it's bad enough the virus is wiping out hundreds of thousands without that assclown adding to the nightmare.

    What does it say about those rioters that this was all it took for them to do such a heinous thing? They all bang on about their rights to do this or that but what about everyone else's right to feel safe, or to be able to do their job and not have to fear that they will need to spend hours hidden in a locked room, under a table, because some assbutts only needed a few words to 'give them permission'to terrorise?

    I sincerely hope they are all caught but this isn't realistic. Let's jsut hope that they punish to the full extent of the law the ones they do get. At least they know where to find the fecker who led this, hidden away safely in the White House, acting as though he is innocent and appalled at the behaviour.

    I agree that it's going to take some time to get back from this and that's sad. Especially for the millions of people with a conscience who do do the right thing and behave like civilized human beings.

    I wish I had a solution for you Lori but I don't. Or even the words to help ease your mind, if only a little. The sooner that lunatic is gone the better and hopefully then, you can all start to heal. As you say, it won't be easy or quick.

    I'm here if you need to talk. xx

  2. These are truly terrible times we are living in these days aren't they? One can only hope they come to an end soon and we can get back to something somewhat normal.
