Not So Fast, Smart People...

I am not done yelling.

It’s oh-so-very-easy to clown on fascists. The pudding and the hair and the weird laughter and the bizarre statements and the toddler-style compulsive pointless lies and the ichor-dripping fruits of the hardworking monsters of the right.

But while I’m calling them dumb, I have some words for us. For me, too. This shit we are all in is our fault as well. Not the way the media says it is, with their plaintive submissive mewling why didn’t Team Blue wave the magic wand they’re clearly hiding in Nancy Pelosi’s ice cream freezer and make all the Republicans Democrats?

It’s our fault because absolutely none of those braindead 5th grade student council level plans to ruin liberal democracy would have come close to working if we weren’t so bloody bound and fucking determined to constantly relax in a bubbling jacuzzi of complacency making pithy comments about frogs and boiling water and congratulating ourselves on how much we see through them and then just willfully refusing to vote the very next day and going all surprised Pikachu rictus-grin on our hot-take socials when the shrieking eels gnaw their way into office again.
