Knives--and cream pies--out [1]

Barring some unforeseen, inexplicable event (we seem to be having a lot of them lately, and sure could use one now) a senile, Constitutionally disqualified, ignorant and utterly incompetent sociopath will be sworn into office by Chief lackey of the most corrupt Subprime Court in many decades.

This is not a great situation for us, for our country.

I won’t go into our personal preparations for this approaching shit tsunami; if folks suspect you have a refurbed Sherman tank, pounds of gold bullion, and an escape pod capable of delivering your wife, your dog, your flock of chickens and yourself to an undisclosed location in Iceland you may well attract unwanted trespassers. Logical moves to help rat-proof Democracy have been taken, such as extra donations made to organizations capable of taking on the incoming evil horde: SPLC, ACLU, a couple others.

So how do we, and those who are supposed to represent us, fight Dumpster Don and his Legion of Lickspittles, Losers and Loose Cannons? Here are a couple odd notions that have been rattling around in my head.

Knives out: Everything, every moronic move, noxious, vacuous nominee, idiotic initiative, has to be relentlessly attacked from every direction. His nominees must be forced through a thousand horsepower garbage disposal—the ones so far have been treated way too gently. If we can’t cut what he wants down, we gut it. If that fails, we see that it slowly bleeds out and dies in bureaucratic purgatory. Just weakening what survives the process makes it easier to finish it off the next time around.

Starve the Beast: We must stop sending money to the bloated greedhead parasites who helped jam their disgusting gobbet of lie-grease down our throats to buy freedom from taxation and regulation. We must try to turn xhitter into a deserted Nazi bunker, choke off our Amazon habits, flush Fuck-facebook, educate ourselves so we can quit enriching the companies that financed his unholy return. We cannot engage on wingnut media, let them eat each other. We may have to bring the economy to a standstill with boycotts. Some have already begun. Join the fun!

Grave Diggers for Democracy: This is related to Knives Out. We need to have SWAT teams of the best opposition researchers out there. We need to know where every damn body is buried, the shape of the bones of the skeletons in the closets of all the Dumpster zombies. Few things are more rewarding than exposing the pious in their dishonesty, hypocrisy, and depravity.

Shiny Object Artillery: This is a sort of alt-propaganda operation. Their side is as easily distracted as a dog spotting a squirrel, and can’t resist what they perceive as shiny objects; this is proved by the Pet Eating Immigrants debacle. A continuous cavalcade of Space Laser-grade flaming bags of misinformational dog shit must be provided to draw their shiny jackboots and prove them credulous fools with every step they take.

The Ministry of Mockery: Every one of the strutting, preening, chuckleheaded jackanapes (and jillanapes) must be forced to slog through a daily onslaught of razor-edged satire, jeering derision, heavy-handed ridicule, massive megadoses of mockery, and hilarity-laced airings of every shabby lie and nitwit pronouncement. We have some shock troops in this effort in certain late-night TV hosts. Another cadre—one working on far thinner budgets—are the editorial cartoonists the despicably rich publishers and whiny thin-skins are trying to silence. Many have been forced to resort to Patreon and other similar funding sources to survive. If you can spare a couple bucks a month to keep those poison pens a-scribbling, please do.

Barricade the Memory Hole: Never let it be forgotten what happened when a traitor tried to stage a coup, and his followers stormed, defaced, and desecrated the Capitol. Never let it be forgotten that when Joe took office the economy was in ruins and there were bodies--innocent victims of the incompetent and dishonest regime he replaced--stacking up in refrigerated trucks. Never let it be forgotten that they kidnapped children. These people think they can rewrite history to hide their crimes, excesses, and blunders. We must never let it be forgotten that voters were warned what would happen if a life-long crook and conman, sex criminal, shameless liar, and convicted felon got back in office because of a garbage sundae of lies topped by the poisonous cherry of the Big Lie. The Lump lost. He was, and remains, the garbage we took out to put Joe Biden in office.

The sum of all that comes down to one word: resistance. We all have a part, no matter how small, to play in saving our country from a senile and dim-witted would-be dictator, and the ethics-free plutocrats and oligarchs, amoral Christo-talibans, the radio and TV liars and propagandists, and other forces that worship greed and hate and cruelty, and have inflicted him on us. Again.

Resistance is not futile; let’s turn it into a cottage industry, and see if we can make it fun.
