Re: POTUS 45.60: He's Such A Delicate Boy and a Hysterical Man
Someone else mentioned you (may have been Kep) and I thought I missed something. My bad Scoobs. Though to be fair he is kind of using your playbook
Mea culpa buddy
I lumped them together because I think they each mean well but are exaggerating for effect in ways that are counterproductive. I recognize they are each doing this as a warning not to be overconfident, and I agree with that warning.
Scooby is always a shade away from suicide. Everything sucks, this country sucks, we can never win, woe is me.
trix has lately been on about how the Dark Forces are going to keep Dump in office.
I believe both of these claims are ridiculous. They aim to alert us that there is danger but WE ALL KNOW THERE IS DANGER and all this does is puff up the enemy to more than it is. We need to eradicate the GOP from American politics and uproot and annihilate all the diseased little cul de sacs of filth that have powered it: the racism, the misogyny, the barely concealed astro-turfing of fake "populist" fronts by the Plutes, the bizarre Christian Taliban terrorists. We need to do all that but we also have to keep clear that:
1. Institutional support is with us; we speak for law and order and American tradition. We are America. They are an attacking enemy.
2. Their leadership are just a bunch of fourth rate thugs. Dump, Pence, McConnell, Graham, these are all trashbags. They are cowards, weaklings, and morons.
3. Their followers lack even basic virtues that would support them in a fight. They are, in a word, losers. They will always lose when confronted.
Kill this disease but don't pretend it's impressive. It's just mental and moral dry rot. We get in there are scour it out. We aren't fighting an evil super villain, we're fighting a case of head lice that got out of hand.
