The Proof Is In Their Votes

The illustration above is one hell of a powerful image. It's also an indication of how at least some of the French see America even while their own country appears to be surrendering to Nazis again. It appeared on the cover of Liberation, a French publication, the day after a right wing American political organization known as the Supreme Court made Republican dreams come true and handed down their infamous anti-abortion Dobbs decision. I remember that it took me about 5 seconds then to wonder if John Roberts and Moscow Mitch hold stock in a wire hanger company; just my way of saying what I think of those two, I suppose.
I know that some who pointlessly and foolishly apologize for the Republicans they may have the misfortune to know will make excuses and I know those Repugs always look down and say ridiculous things like "I didn't know," etc. but really, they knew and those slugs are probably lower than the ones who come right out and violently tell you they are anti-choice. I'll leave it up to you to decide which kind of Repug deserves more of your respect. Personally, I'm a none of the above kinda guy. The proof of what both kinds deserve is in the bottom line of what they always vote for, not how they got there, and their boy Trump gave it to them. I'll just assume for today that his being a traitor, a racist, and a known sex offender, etc. is just stuff that's viewed by Republican voters as a bonus, although who knows which of those attributes is more highly regarded when they go into the voting booth and choose any of their candidates.
Say, do you think the Alitos have one of these flags? Maybe not. Maybe they just wear the t-shirt version around the house, or maybe Sam wears it under his robe when he goes to work. Just another day in the party of Human Misery and Terror.
Dear raging hater below: There may be thousands of people who are trying to do something, ANYTHING. But, and here's the math 'n shit, thousands won't do shit. 80 million of you fucking retards chanted "yass massah" when the money told you to pick biden. And because there are at least 3 orders of magnitude more fucking retards, like you, who keep voting for useless feckless hapless corrupt neoliberal fascist pussy democraps instead of coalescing a progressive movement, the efforts of me and those "thousands" come to nothing. It ain't our fault that y'all are so goddamn stupid or indifferent or just plain evil. All we can do is try.
There are almost certainly many times more mindless haters like…
Dear clownish commenter below. I bet there are thousands of people who read this site who have done a lot more to try changing things than you have and they are smart enough to realize that just bitching and pointing fingers at everyone amounts to nothing. That is what you are, a nothing. You squandered your opportunity. That was your choice and you have failed yourself and everybody else.
clever. but the one with $ as stars and shades of green for stripes is more universally apropos.
The constant is the total dearth of any opposition to any of it. I find it interesting that after almost 60 years of going backwards, there is STILL no possibility of any movement to even stop the reversals, much less get it headed back in the correct direction. Indeed, there really is no recognition among an operative portion of the electorate that anything is amiss, because if there was, neither trump nor biden would be acceptable as candidates for the oval.
Every abomination of this shithole that you draw cartoons about or observe in any other way is a direct indictment of…
