“Trump got elected last year by making two promises: racism and bringing down inflation using racism,” said Stephen Colbert.
Instead of improvement-by-racism, a known oxymoron, we got genocides. We joined Israel and Russia in instigating, fostering, and implementing genocidal attacks at home and abroad. For instance, Dem centrists are busy agreeing to throw LBGTQ+ people under the bus and deprive them of medical care and a place in society.
Additionally, the healthy regulation of guns is prevented not only by GOP opposition, but by a substantial amount of Dem reluctance. Large numbers of Dems are complicit with Israeli, transphobic, and gun genocides.
In addition we got even more genocides purely from Chumpism.
We got ICE thugs running concentration camps.
We are killing workers by repealing protections.
We are killing women and children by destruction of Medicare and Medicaid.
Even the Preznut’s sports slurs are his feeble method to try to cover up rape charges. And, because the legal protections against it have been allowed to lapse and are actively being undermined, rape is now a US policy.
Preznut Sedacious — who is not a constitutional scholar in a tan suit who plays basketball, but is, rather, a murderous gang boss with appalling taste — Plump, Bruised Ol’ Sedacious fits a description in use at the British Foreign Office in 1905 as a racist description of people in East Africa: “Habits: beastly. Manners: none.”
The decrepit limelight-sniffer of Merde-a-Lago will do anything to degrade his political enemies, by which he means a majority of the American people.
Our National Security apparatus leadership is infested with crackpots & fools, putting us at heightened risk of war, famine, pestilence and death.
Despite the delusions of the grey lady, there is no Chump administration in the normal sense.
We have not returned to being treaty-breaking America, because we never left. Now we are breaking the treaties we made with our own civil servants and with agencies throughout the world
However there exists a very fine 52-year-old prophecy about where we are:
Six Phases of The Fumblefinger Administration [as Predicted]
-Enthusiasm
-Disillusionment
-Panic
-Search for the guilty
-Punishment of the innocent
-Praise and honors for those who did nothing
--From the magazine ‘Der Spiegel’ 17.Dec.1973
And how did we get here? There is “no better encapsulation of the nature of social media than ‘participatory disinfotainment’.”— Richard Seymour as quoted by Daniel Trilling.
Strange New York Behavior Twins
An underreported similarity exists between Preznut Degerateissimus and Senate Minority Leader Chuck S (for Spineless). Chump front-ran the Coke re-sugaring announcement because someone at Coke leaked the forthcoming announcement to him. Then he took credit for forcing them to do it. Whereas it was really in the works all along, and was just another one of his diversionary wall-throws to cover up for his criminal, bestial violence by use of misdirection.
Meantime Chuck Spineless used to do the same thing when he was a mere Congresscritter faithfully representing the stock market and banking interests in the 1980s and 1990s. There was even a verb coined about his practice, the verb “to schume.”
A member would have been working on certain legislation for years. A week before the other Democrat was finally going to introduce a long-labored bill, Schumer would announce he was about to file a bill on the very same subject. It was honor stealing at best, betrayal of a colleague in the middle, and corruption of the legislative process at worst. And many a Congressman or woman was schumed that way.
So Chump and Spineless are brothers under the skin. New York publicity whores at their worst. That might explain an enormous amount of our current national enshittification (or, more elegantly in French, emmerdement.)
