Let None Forget "TRUMP LOST!" [1]

Dating back centuries, regional rancor should never be glossed over. All the more, though, it floats my boat from Charleston to Galveston to see strong, in-your-face blowback against our most execrable ex-POTUS stand tall in the Deep South’s founding turf, and on its western fringe.
This by way of some strikingly similar billboards. In Texas, Republicans for Voting Rights proves that’s not an oxymoron: in caps as high as an elephant’s eye, they recall, revel in, and shout out the fact that “TRUMP LOST.” Then, to drive home the toxicity of MAGA’s flood of raw sewage, they roar “NO MORE ‘AUDITS.’” (Perfect!)
Those arresting (pun intended) words are complemented by a YUGE image of a downcast, spent, jowly, old, bloated, repulsive, futile, bottle-blond loser. (Beautiful!) Kudos & thanks to those uncompromising Lone Star freedom fighters; please keep messin’ with that orange rogue!
Similar signs in South Carolina foist the power of full-throatedness AND tongue-in-cheek. Their main text: “YOU LOST. YOU’RE GUILTY [on scores of felony counts].” (Bingo.) Said cheekiness rests in the crediting: “SPONSORED BY LEAGUE OF RADICAL LEFT VERMIN.” (Again, a knockout combination blow. Not only does said ‘League’ highlight the irony of so evil an actor as Trump defaming those who strive to hold him to account; it drives home the fact that he’s been reduced to echoing Adolf Hitler!) Touche, Palmetto Patriots! Like your Lone Star kindred spirits, keep up the great work!!!
Just how called for such strident, truth-to-power candor has become can be gleaned from the violent, crazed, pseudo-Christian conniptions of Trump’s cult (as observed, for instance, in Jeff Sharlet’s current tour-de-force, The Undertow). And from such fact-free, reality-inverting bilge as today’s Washington Examiner’s “The Left’s fear of fascism under Trump is the ultimate example of projection;” that piece’s implicitly self-refuting ‘point’ boils down to ‘never-Trumpers are “fascist” because they’re trying to keep Trump from destroying our rule of law, i.e., from overturning our vote-legitimized governance in favor of what can fairly be pegged fascism.’
Fact is, Trump’s 2016 praise of the genocidal neo-fascist ogre Vladimir Putin as “strong” (and hence good) put his own cards on the table, big time. Plus, before parroting The Fuhrer, Big Blonder rode to power honking slogans ‘borrowed’ from fascism’s founding father, Benito “Drain the Swamp” Mussolini (who also coined “Make [This Country] Great Again,” by the way).
All along, blue timidity, quiescence, pliancy, diffidence, and tergiversation have appeased-not-opposed. Better late than never, let’s bust the Big Liar. HE LOST. SO, LET US DAM (AND DAMN) HIS DELUGE OF RAW SEWAGE- AND THWART WHAT EVEN STEVE BANNON CALLS THE “S***...flood.”
To that end, as epitomized even in Texas and South Carolina, let us unite with decent patriots in all 50 states; loudly and clearly, let us do-not-die.
