I can't for the life of me understand how people can walk
around saying Donald Trump won the election. Some of these people are people I
thought were normal. Some of them I even thought of as nice and even a few I
thought were extra intelligent friends. All I thought basically OK. Yet now they think they can cloud the minds of America
in the spirit of their black guard Trump.
But there it is: Imagine a person who disliked Hillary
Clinton, and so voted for Trump, and who enjoyed the experience, and is now
gone, who is now forever in a death hold
of the monster. It’s not imagination – it’s what’s happening. It’s your fellow
citizens in line at the grocer or gas station. You know it. They look for chance to start conversation and revel. Smug they are with the ever warmer pleasure of lying.
Reading Landslide by Michael Wolfe. Dumbstruck at the delusional cabal that arose around him. Where you had to be expert in inflation of all numbers in the telling to Trump. Numbers he will conjure into larger volume. No one brings Trump bad numbers. So he doesn't know himself what is true. But truth doesn’t matter to Godzilla. What matters is to put it over on the rubes. By slime he has survived. In fact, small lies day by day he'd demand his followers to join in, and if they did not join in they'd quickly be out of the his glow. This followed up to the bigger and bigger lies. Finally their fate of doom to honor Don was fixed. If you oblige him of this duty you are not part of the ranks he will daily castigate - when he viscerally lambastes the 'others' you are safely not one of "them". A man with the nature of a wolf.
As the election results came in he made phone call after
phone call to people who told them what they knew they had to tell him and that
was that Penn was going for him and Mich was going for him. And Wis. was
going for him. And Ga. was going for him. Well, these states did have cities –
cities that were largely inhabited by black people who he regularly dismissed
disrespected didn’t count – just as when he and pop filled up his rentals with the good white people. The real people who didnt think they's see a swartz in the White People's House.
Did nothing ever to gain the votes of Philly, Detroit, Milwaukee,
Atlanta. But their vote didn't count. But they won the election. And anyone who
says Trump won the election is dismissing the black people of our country. Who
the hell else could have stood up to this terrible Moloch? Never before had a sitting
president so avoided his prescribed and daily duties. Just eating junk food,
watching Fox, and making up stories.
Said Trump, I'm going to call blacks and Chicanos rapists and thugs and if they vote against me, I'm going to tell the judge to throw out their votes. Get a cheap lawyer. Cry baby wolf cry foul. I was robbed. Lead the crowd to the Capital steps. Guide them in. Then watch the tube and finger his cell phone of made up numbers. It goes on still.
He is going to have the judge unelected. The most onerous threat to democracy one could ever imagine courtesy of the NY huckster Trump. Who New Yorkers discarded long ago. Keeps going now as the Republican munchkins try to overthrow Election Commission's left and right. He just raised his hand and they do his command and as I've said, some of them I counted as friends. Watch your friends and your enemies will do you no harm.
His troops call Hilary Satan. I call Trump the devil. Is the devil not a busy man? I will let others count the ways. The mass information syndicate of America held us somewhat in place in my younger days, feeding out some buz of normal, and keeping the village idiots at bay. It collapsed with a push from Trump and Extractor Fundamentalist enablers such as Ailes, Murdoch, Koch. I think I get it. What I couldn't imagine as that a deliberately ignorant and sneaky bad counter reality would form around a former president. As mad as I am that their nefarious plot is afoot, madder still I am they take this Democrat's Joy in Solidly Kicking the Bastard Out.
