Midnight Meme Of The Day! A Little Post And Pre Mortem

 It's The Stupid, Stupid!!!

by Noah

Like you, I've been seeing a lot of election post mortems. Most of them are just plain junk to varying degrees, endless long outdated ritual blah, blah, blah, and don't even mention living fossils like James Carville or whatever his name is to me. I just blocked him. To be fair, and, I'm always fair, he was right 30+ years ago when he came up with "It's the economy, stupid" and he's still going with the same thing but what happened this time is so much more than that. As just one example, someone please count up how many ballots have down ballot male Democratic candidates getting anywhere from 5% to 15% more votes for their candidacy than the Democratic female candidate at the top of the ballot.

At first look, it appears millions of Democratic Party voters stayed home rather than vote for Kamala Harris, maybe 8,000,000 or more since that is roughly how many fewer votes she got than Joe Biden did in 2020, but to accept that figure as the be all and end all of her loss is superficial. Yes, millions of dumbass Dems did stay home but how many of that alleged 8,000,000 actually did go vote, just not for the person at the top of the Democratic Party's ticket? A friend of mine who I discuss these things with told me this morning (Friday, 11/8) that he knew Kamala was in trouble very early on election night when the Democratic Party House candidate for his district, Eugene Vindman, was pulling in 20% more votes than Kamala, so it wasn't a simple matter of the Democratic stay at homes. At the point my friend noticed the trend, a lot of people had already voted for Vindman but not for Harris. They either made another choice for president or left the Harris/Walz line blank. Vindman won his Virginia District 7 race. The vote differential didn't matter to the end result in Virginia where my friend lives because Kamala Harris won there anyway, but what about other states where the vote was bound to be closer? Eventually, someone will break this down but those running the Democratic Party apparatus who learned nothing from election cycles like 2016 or 2000 or 2004 to name a few are either too thick or will ignore anything that threatens how they make their cash and live off of campaigns in 2 year clips whether the candidate they're working for wins or loses. Like just about any corporation, they have their way of doing or not doing things and to hell with reality. It's a lifestyle and an addiction.

So, "do the research." Seek and ye shall find. It's the stupid, stupid! And the stupid isn't just the slow brained voters that tonight's meme points to. Sure, when it comes to the voters, the stupid brings a lot with it, like misogyny, racism, homophobia... You know the list. But, don't blame just the voters who voted for the orange political Lex Luthor or "anyone but Kamala Harris." Some of those idiots and fools will even tell you they aren't sexist because they voted for Jill Stein but both she and Traitor Don are useful idiots for Putin so, so what. Nice dodge. And a better than average example of the old adage, "Be careful what you wish for."

Bigger blame should go to the increasingly stale Democratic Party officials and the living fossils they rely on, ie. wastes of air, space and our natural resources, like the aforementioned Carville and the rest of the Clinton crew who have been left out in the sun way too long and that was true years ago. It's 2024 but I have the sense that the Democratic Party has not even gotten to the year 1999 on its best day. When I see Carville on the teevee, I hit the remote and curse, not necessarily in that order. Obviously, I am not just focusing on Carville, but for me, Carville is a lightning rod stand-in for a whole myriad of pontificating political and media douchebags (You, too, Mr. Jon "Both Sides" Stewart!!) that need to be pulled off of the shelves due to their very expired sell-by dates. They've all but killed the party and should play no role in its revival even if it ever has one. We're gonna need a bigger dumpster and, as for my television, I want one that has a facial recognition program that changes the channel whenever some living dead boy like Carville appears on it. I have a list of names. I'll figure out how to program it. Hell, we can send remote 'copters to Mars but companies that make televisions can't provide that?

Oh, and by the time you read this, Traitor Don will have been declared the winner in Arizona while the Democratic Party candidate for Senator, Ruben Gallego, is pulling thousands of more votes than his female Repug opponent. Regardless of who wins that one, give it a little extra thought. And need I point out that Nazi Trump won North Carolina over VP Harris but Democrat Josh Stein beat his own Nazi opponent for the state governorship? Stein and Harris were both running against total Nazi men. Stein won his race but the majority of voters in North Carolina preferred a Nazi freak to Kamala Harris, not only that but the President-Elect, an adjudicated rapist, doesn't even have to register as a sex offender when he moves into the White House! And that's just fine and dandy to your 70,000,000+ knuckle-dragging neighbors. What a fine example to America's young boys.

There, I feel a little better. So, about tonight's meme: We unfortunately live in a soundbite-buzzword world and that's all most of us can process. For me, the above meme captures what went wrong extremely concisely. As I said, "It's the stupid, stupid!!!" And all that goes with it. You look at the two comparative parts of what is written in the meme, and all of the implications about the intelligence level of the rapidly devolving human race flow out at you from there. Most people don't read anything longer than 6 minutes on a good day and if they don't get the simple analysis in the black and white above, they are not going to understand anything longer anyway. Period. Hell, when I post a picture, meme, or article on my FB page, way too many of the people who see it don't even read the 3, 4, or 5 lines I've written about it by way of introduction. I can tell by the comments they make. And these are people who are friends, at least to some degree.

OK, that's the post mortem. Now for the pre mortem. Here's something about the troika of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin to ponder: A lot of people think Elon Musk founded Tesla and is some kind of genius inventor. He didn't and he isn't. He was one of the top investors. Two men named Mark Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard were the founders and brains along with the engineers, scientists, and designers they hired. Musk put in more and more money and got more and more control of the company until he could sabotage it, force the partners out, and claim to be "the guy" who created it all and attempt to save it and rebuild it. Now that Musk's millions have gotten the feeble-brained Trump back in the White House and we know that Musk has been having non-stop phone conversations with Gangsta Putin, should we start to think of the White House as a later day Tesla headquarters that is now earmarked for sabotage in order to shatter the government and our style of government so Musk and Putin can pick up the pieces, run things, and suck it dry like the mobsters that they are? You already barely hear the name of JD Vance anymore. He's served his purpose. Soon it will be Musk and Vlad saying, "Hey, what do we need this Trump guy for? Take him for a little boat ride."

Too dark? How 'bout Musk and Donnie, both as crazy as they are, start getting at each other's throats in the oval office. Some scene, eh? Musk wins that one. Kellyanne, watching from the curvy gold couch, tweeting to the universe, "The president died peacefully in his sleep last night." Eventually, we learn that he was really in mid-tweet on his golden toilet at 3:00am but no matter. Putin watches from afar with his hidden cameras all over the White House. Then the troika is now a duo of Elon & Vlad, pumping steroids into Project 2025! And how long before Putin can't stand dealing with Musk anymore now that the goal of destroying America is achieved? Throw in RFK, Jr. running around thinking he's the president, and maybe he is, on some sort of brainworm filled substitute teacher basis. Then Lindsey Graham steps in and says, Don't worry America! I alone can fix this!!! What? Not Lindsey, you say? Damn!, of course! Lauren Boebert to the rescue!!!! That's yer Republican Party, folks! All brought to you by "The Stupid!" Layers and layers of it. Do you feel like you're drowning yet?
