The number of times I've heard proper political analysts say "Trump's handlers trying to get him to stay focused on policy" in the last few weeks is pretty funny because actual Republican policy is "unperson and mass murder all the mudpeople and end the heretical filth of constitutional democracy."
It's like if Charles Manson had a high-priced lawyer and his strategy was to put Manson on the stand and get him to focus on and clearly and rationally articulate the LEGITIMATE necessity of accelerating Helter Skelter.
"We win on solid policy" is honestly a bold and garishly insane stance of people who have lost every direct or cursory state referendum on programmatically subjugating women since the legit fascist cunts in the Supreme Court overturned Roe, but my sage and respectful counsel to Republicans is to double down on that "win" and put fucking millions upon millions of dollars into ads trumpeting that they did that. Pony up, Reichstag shitsacks. Let's see how it works out.
The genuinely batshit thing about my above political consultation is that Manson, dithering gibbering Nazi fuckwit that he was, had an actual better shot at making coherent points and staying "on-message" than Trump does because Trump is genuinely one of the just depthlessly stupidest capitalist-cobbled Frankenteins of posh-born hate-bleating coherence-addled fucking psychos that ever came down the Master Race pike.
Which has always been the bugfuckery of this whole phenomenon, right? That the creme de la creme of White People, revanchist conservative sociopaths like Thiel and Laura Ingraham and Alex Jones and the Kochs and fucking Vince McMahon and Randy Quaid and Tim Pool, waited and waited for their messiah and when he arrived it was just a dull-eyed rapey semiverbal dimwitted-as-fuck gameshow host who, if he's NOT tertiary-syphilitic, definitely projects as more tertiary-syphilitic than any actual tertiary-syphilitic person confined to an awful gray-brick rat-infested Dickensian workhouse.
And THAT is your Nitzschean Ubermensch.
Jesus fuck, you sweaty "superior" gonifs, keep wondering why everyone calls you weird and thinks your eminent "philosophy" is psychotic horseshit.
Anyway, in the spirit of Obama last night saying we need to reach out and listen to the genuine concerns of people with whom we might differ politically, let me just say to any random MAGA person who may see this, your genuine concerns are contrived bullshit stovepiped by neo-Nazi berks, you are motivated by malevolence, nothing you want to see happen would be good for a broader freer society and I will do what work I can to get you more affordable healthcare and make sure everyone in your family you decide to hate has rights under the law. You Klanny fucking twats.
American neo-Nazis are stupider than you can even imagine, especially when they are soclose to not being stupid but will never ever get over that nickel-high speedbump owing to how stupid they are because of their dogmatic commitment to neo-Nazism. Thanks to @emmreef for this absolute gem.
OH and lest any credulous "civility"-lobby passersby feel the need to hop on the thread to try to delineate who in the American Conservative Influencer Caucus is and isn't a neo-Nazi, take it on the arches, pal, no rational human has time for your dissembling bullshit. We're a few thousand votes from unwinning World War II in this fucking country so move your sealioning ass down the pike to facebook.
I have been stupid in my life and, even when I got a bit smarter, lived amongst brilliant people relative to whom I was stupid, so being stupid is not intrinsically bad, it can be a base from which you work to be less stupid.
It's when an actual movement of people comes along and says YOU MUST BE EXACTLY AS STUPID AND AWFUL AS WE ARE TO BE A PROPER PERSON AND ASSIMILATE INTO A GODLY UTOPIA OF GRINDING HOPE-STOMPING STUPID that you should do the work to make sure those people never ever have an iota of influence on anyone else's life.
Yeah, honestly, I GET it but there's no shock left to be apportioned out to how genuinely, breathlessly stupid American conservatives are. This is just a thing we have to contend with now and, ideally, marginalize, every day of every week, world-without-end-amen. Because they're REALLY this bad and they REALLY supported a coup to end America as a constitutional republic and they do that because they are verifiably stupid, shit people working intrepidly to smash human freedom. https://techhub.social/@zappy/112222210376850455
My ULTRA-rational debate is telling bigots to fuck off and worship your burning cross in a wooded glade with your ideological brethren Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro and Richard Spencer. That is all the rational debate you fucking deserve.
I saw this segment on Times (UK) Radio where an older going-way-back feminist campaigner was telling a somewhat younger feminist and boisterous pal-of-Joanne-Rowling that she, the older lady, had fought every iteration of conservative bigotry going back to when they actually arrested and beat up and tortured gay people for being gay and the language of the anti-trans people sounds exactly the same as it did back then because the language of the in-group trying the beat the out-group into line is ALWAYS the same. The younger feminist snapped back that, well, you see, that's how WE (Joanne and her, I guess) are different, we're NOT the conservative Ancien Regime shitheads, we are proud liberals, so that tells you our particular notion of whom to unperson is just and correct, and, man . . .
I don't know how to fucking tell you this in a nice way because there really isn't a nice way but when you agree with Tories and Republicans and actual fucking neo-Nazis full-throatedly and out loud, specifically in support of a newly minted public Holocaust-denier, to insist your pet bigotry is the ONE bigotry in the entirety of a history of Proper Society stomping on the faces of marginalized people that is THE smart and well-meant bigotry, you've turned in your Decent Human Being Card. You are as right-wing as the shit you do and, TERFS, you are right-wing as every last fuck because - and I cannot yell this loudly enough - you agree with literally the shittiest people in the fucking world. And I know that won't move you to fuck off, as you should, or at least try to be a better person, but, in any rational timeline, it fucking well would.
HI, formerly Grimm of twitter, where I did dumb history jokes, occasionally pimped my angry left-ass rock songs, posted absolute tons of filthy invective at right-wing assholes and, I believe, introduced the verb "embitch" to the language.Vet my profanity-ridden ravings here: https://justmytoots.com/GrimmReality@beige.partyIf you are self-ascribed MAGA or a neo-Nazi, which are one thing, don't bother, you'll eventually rage-type some racist shit and get 86ed so let's save us all the time.
