I’ve been too shocked to write. My brain overwhelmed- short-circuited if you will- which is the point of all the rapid fire fuckedupedness of the last month. But I’m rebooting motherfuckers.
A friend said this administration isn’t the supervillian they imagined. To that I say:
Let’s be real … Hollywood is aspirational and always shiny, even in its darkness- red coat little girl- would one more name ever be enough. This is not Hollywood, this reality and it’s the underbelly of the swamp turned over by mass consumption of fools. PT Barnum is said to have said (tho not confirmed) “a fool is born every minute,” but that ratio of fools would be too few fools for this level of fraudulent foolishness- pure evil is also not to be equated with foolishness, but I digress.
This rattle we are living within is not that of supervillains, but the heavy asphyxiation of a nation by a level of megalomaniac narcissism we’ve not experienced in several generations. Instead of children telling on their neighbors & parents, we have forms to complete for “investigations” against schools or teachers who aren’t aligning with The Assministration. This is stranger than fiction and that’s how we know it’s not Hollywood, but cold reality.
I hear intonations indicating people are coming to from the bitchslap that was the 2024 election. People are sliding crowbars into the gears of The Assministration. Voices are joining, action is building, resistance is growing. Let’s just not stop acting. They don’t expect The Others to fight back. But there’s 99% to their 1% and we are scrappy and have less, but more to lose (nothing and everything).
This isn’t Hollywood and they aren’t supervillains. This is a fight they’ve been planning and, sadly, at least half of the 99% thought it was Hollywood and their trusty hero was a bumbling good ol’ boy who just wanted to do good for his teammates. Thing is, that good ol’ boy is the drunken quarterback of a losing team that peaked in high school and has been stroking his dick and revising his legend for the last 40 years. Fuck that guy.
It’s time to kick him off his stool and make him as irrelevant as possible. It’s a heavy stool but we can knock it over. Do I know how, no. No, I do not, but I know we can keep mucking up the cogs and hijacking their hijinks. It’s not gonna be easy and it’s gonna get messier before it gets better, but this country is a shitshow worth fighting for- and by that I mean the good people that are my neighbors and your neighbors and their neighbors. This country is a shitshow, but it’s got some good people and they are worth the fight.
Hollywood could never make this shit up. We are way better than Hollywood.
