Midnight Meme Of The Day! No Red Wave Is Not Enough Reason To Rejoice



by Noah


We're gonna show Nancy Pelosi the door very shortly... She's losing the gavel but finding the hammer.

-Arizona's Representative Andy Biggs, as he celebrated his victory on Tuesday night.


OK. So there was no Red Wave. Call it, as Stephen Colbert says, a "pink trickle" or, as Stephanie Miller says, a "spotting," but as the grotesque Biggs quote above tells us, way too many Nazis won or are in the process of winning and there will be absolutely no change in Republican attitudes. They are what they say they are and it is insane to go around thinking otherwise or that it's just an act, rhetoric, "appealing to the base" or any such nonsense. "The base" and "the Republican Party" are one in the same. They act upon the country in concert. Those who say otherwise, from the right, or the so-called left, are trying to provide cover. Republicans are who say they are and everyone should believe them and drop this idiocy about how "people aren't really like that," or that "people are really good at heart, blah, blah, blah."


Human nature is what it is and we need to admit it and respond accordingly or this move into full blown nazism won't ever dissipate, not now or 60 years from now. Funny, I said the same thing in 1970 and nearly lost my platform, tiny though it was. Now, things are exponentially worse and getting worse at an accelerated rate. It's all sped up as Republicans everywhere hear the cheers and support coming up from the fires of Hell, and, being who and what they are, they love it and want more. There is very little reason to rejoice in the fact that there was no "Red Wave" when the nation is staring down the barrel of a Speaker Kremlin Kevin or a Speaker Gym Jordan and the very real possibility of a Red Senate run by an assortment of Putin Puppets. We know damn well what Moscow Mitch is and Flor-i-duh's Rick Scott went out of his way to show us his party's planned attack on Americans before the election and still, half the nation's voters voted against themselves anyway. For that, he may even get to replace Mr. Moscow.


And another thing: From time to time, I catch myself thinking that it's almost easier to respect those Republicans who say what they are out loud more than those who remain silent and smirk at us even in their sleep, but there's no meaningful difference. We can easily imagine what they all say amongst themselves, the stuff that never reaches our ears. That goes for the closet republicans that run as Democrats, too; people like Sean Patrick Maloney or Tom Malinowski. They both lost this time. Maloney, even as the clown in charge of which democratic House candidates got to run where, managed to redistrict his dumbass self right out of a job. Malinowski? Well, he had it comin' for a long time. Ironically both might have won if they'd run as the republicans they really are. In a better world, the Democratic Party would have replaced both twits with progressives who actually had something different to offer voters other than the Republican-Lite™ politics that was bound to fail against official reougs. Which leads me to this: Suppose we end up with a 50-50 $enate again. How many Russian rubles will snakes like Manchin and Sinema be offered to switch allegiances, both from their party and their country.

hatewatt11, you just can't help yourself can you? You have this build-up of hate and the valve just lets loose.

Clearly, "respond accordingly" doesn't mean what you think it means because americans (non-nazi category; including Noah and DWT) have NOT responded accordingly, ever, since 1968. They've done NOTHING useful about it at all. Or maybe it just means nothing, like most of language these days. Or maybe... probably... your valve just couldn't hold back the hate any longer.


clear enough. tomorrow or the day after. that'll be your limit. again. still.


the reich will be right in your wheelhouse. and vice versa.

crapper, you've taken the guy's point and, probably deliberately, tried to deflect and distract from it. I remember what the phrase "respond accordingly" meant in 1970 and there's no way he just pulled that year out of thin air. Maybe you fear the idea because it doesn't meet your agenda so you offer your typical unfocused fragmented and "pointlessly repetitive," "redundant" word salad. Nice try. You need to try to change your nature. The whole species does. Clear enough for you now?

"Human nature is what it is and we need to admit it and respond accordingly or this move into full blown nazism won't ever dissipate, not now or 60 years from now. Funny, I said the same thing in 1970..."


ok. respond... how? keep kicking that long-dead (since 1968) donkey? ya got anything better than that? After over 50 years, sincerely, I'd like some ideas.

naziism has to be defeated. eviscerated. cremated. ashes buried in the deepest part of the earth. why do we just keep hoping it will go away on its own?


ONLY reflecting on the details of how kicking that dessicated carcass didn't work... again... still... just seems pointlessly repetitive... redundant?
