The madness of Tsar Spray-tan the First [1]

When Donald Lump learned that he’d lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden he lost his mind.
Granted, there was little of value to lose. The inside of his head was already a dark, ugly pit filled with voracious greed, creepy lusts, perceived grievances, calcified ignorance and prejudice, and crusting it all, a preening self-regard; his greatest intellectual achievement has always been his ability to lie almost every time he opens his mouth.
But something snapped when he came face to face with the inescapable truth that he was a loser. A big loser. A yuuuuuge loser. People not only knew he got his ass kicked, his defeat was being widely celebrated.
But that could not be. He was perfect, better than everyone else. He had to be the winner. All his lies and cheating should have gotten him what he wanted.
Given all that, the Big Lie was as inevitable as rank farts (or worse) after a dinner of beans, cabbage, and week-old and unrefrigerated fish head soup. Promoting the Big Lie, and a slimy bolus of other lies and thin-air assertions, and suing to get reality set aside were unable to directly redeem him from well-earned ignominy. From failure on a national scale.
So came the traitorous coup attempt, and an attempt to stay in the office in spite of his resounding defeat.
This too failed spectacularly, and he was chased off like a rat in a kitchen, slinking back to Mug ‘O Loogies (one of the tackiest and slimiest places in Florida, beating the Everglades on ooze and muck hands-down). At this humiliation his already precarious grip on some thin shred of sanity waved bye-bye.
What being confronted with this cascade of failures has led to is this: his persistent and fulminating sense of victimhood has him believing that his enemies are no longer just those who tried to prevent and hold him culpable for his crimes and excesses, and those who voted against him. No, he can see clearly now, the truth is a plain and obvious as his superiority over lesser mortals: the enemy is America itself. All of it. All of us. He didn’t fail, America failed him, and so it must be punished. It must be destroyed.
Like a furious toddler trashing their playpen, he is determined to smash and smear the shit of his rage and contempt on everything within reach. Unfortunately for all of us, he spent his time out of office collecting a despicable cabal of crooks, tinfoil hatted conspiracy-mongers, Talibanana female rights roll-back activists, fellow traitors, Putinistas, Klanners and Nazis, slobbering-right think tank barrel-scrapings, paranoid loons, political failures, professional media liars, Jesus Hates Fags Bible-thumpers, rich and amoral Übermenschen Randonanists paying millions to finance the removal of any check on their power and practices, and tax on their incomes, and a rabid rat colony of brainless zombie rubber-stampers and ass-kissers to act as foot-soldiers, and inept agents of the demolition of Democracy.
That the First Felon is conspiring with a buffoonish sub-genius with a Hindenburg-scale ego who also has legal problems that only the overthrow of the Justice system could forestall, a necrotic social media outlet increasingly dedicated to the spread of poisoned sewage, a similar conviction that all his failures were obviously someone else’s fault, and an obscene amount of money has basically inflicted on us two power-drunk chimps driving roaring bulldozers through a crowd of innocent bystanders, and chortling at the blood on their tracks.
This mad-cow-brain duo attacked USAID early on as a beta test of rule by axe, sledgehammer, and chainsaw because they judged it an easier mark than institutions more capable of fighting back, and because they believe that everyone agrees with them: charity, mercy, and kindness to others--even based in our own self-interest--is weak and stupid and wasteful.
The real targets of this massacre are emerging. Destroy the justice system and you and your confederates can never have another brush with almost being brought to justice. Gut the IRS so only the rabble get taxed, you don’t, and most of taxes paid go into your own coffers. Kill the CFPB because fraud and outright theft from consumers is like wool being harvested from sheep: that’s what they’re there for. Get control of all the money and data so you can gorge yourself on it, and use it as a weapon, starving or blackmailing anyone or anything that disputes your brilliant splendor. Wreck the medical system so the next pandemics win. Kill every green initiative because the real money comes from the polluters and climate science deniers. Sabotage civil rights because, well, the problem is right there in the name; rights for all will be fed into the pyre, rights for only the chosen few will become the finally codified true law of the land.
Everything that can be broken will be destroyed. Every truth besmirched by lies. History overwritten by smirking, self-serving fantasy. Every ideal and civilized standard will be debased, like the Kennedy Center soon being forced to host Endangered Animal Cage Matches, Nude Aryan Princess Beauty Pageants, Riverdance-style revues with synchronized goose-stepping and stompings, and a revival of minstrel shows.
A rising chorus of voices are wailing that they have been betrayed, that the promised pogroms and police actions and smashing of the wheels that keep our country running they cheered and voted for were never supposed to apply to or affect them. The safety of only a chosen few were considered in this monstrous master plan, and only a very few average citizens will escape the steamroller unless they realize that they too are the targets, and start joining the fight to unmake the senile grotesque and his sidekick, Melon Putz.
Trump, Musk, and his enablers have one goal: reduce America to a dog-eat-dog wasteland where they can seize and feast on any meat left on its ravaged carcass. They are even now attempting to sell Ukraine to that model of enlightened rule, Putin. Will they go whole-hog vulture capitalist, gut us and sell off our leftovers?
I would not put it past them. Nor should any of us. There is no bottom for these people, there is only an abyss.
