Kyle The Killer!

 Well he is on the right side of the political fence. You know the gun nut afraid of black people itchin to kill somebody side. The side that gets Mommy to drive little Kyle across state lines with an illegal weapon to "protect" private property from the rampaging blacks burning the whole city to the ground because hey Im sick of video games and T***P night not be re elected and this is practice.

Kyle the Killer was set free today. Set free in a state where apparently you can shoot black folks 7 times in the back and kill two white protesters and severely wound another for daring to take the side of justice. Thus now every white gun kook with a lot of free time and the standard issue AR 15 and lots of military equipment can go to a protest they dont like and gun down people at will. Or at least thats what the mayonnaise militia morons think. 

Between that and the yeah go ahead and run people over at protests laws the GOP Fascists have passed I am really afraid its too goddamn late  to change this. I hope I'm wrong.

Ive never shot a gun in my life. I hate guns. Im not fond of hunting. But today I understand the saying "liberals have guns too".

Rittenhouse!

 

This damned thing is over finally. The jury chosen out of a hat like its a Harry Potter hat was chosen by the defendant? The judge is a villain in a John Grisham novel. The defense attorney is a bellowing baboon who put the victims on trial as asking for it. The prosecution is a bumbling production of some satiric courtroom drama who points AR 15s at the jury and continually violates the crazy judges instructions. The defendant is a no chance punk raised by a monster who should go to jail with him. Nobody seems to want to win this.

Look I will be shocked if this jury convicts this little shitheel of anything. Despite the fact his mommy drove him across state lines to Kenosha with an AR 15 he couldnt legally own so he could serve as a "medic". What ended up happening we all know. He killed two people and wounded one other. He was looking to kill somebody when he went up there and with the cops encouragement he blasted two people into the ground.

But in this society, where white people are terrified of EVERYTHING, this kind of vigilante murder will not be punished. The white jury will sympathize with this white kid, who had business being there, because well, ya know.

But the worst thing said in the farce of a trial was should have troubled everyone was when the defense claimed that it was ok to shoot somebody 7 times so it should be ok to shoot 4 times in a thinly veiled reference to prosecutors failing to prosecute the cop who shot Jacob Blake in the back. To relate a law enforcement officer to a 17 year old outsider looking for trouble is abhorrent. In this dsy and age nobody cares. And of course since an acquittal has been in the works from the start, and since that will result in more "riots" the Wisconsin state government will activate 500 National Guard troops to keep "order".

We all know the "riots" occur whenever the left doesnt get its way. When the right doesnt get its way, no big deal. They're all fine people just like your plumber or the local cops. Fine people right up thru the time  they kill cops and shit in the Capitol. Ya know, touristy folks.

This country is degenerating into a shithole that it may never recover from. The justice system is a joke. The GOP has rigged every election in some states from now on with its suppression of voters of color and its outlandish gerrymandering. 

Fascism is here. Rittenhouse is just another brownshirt thug. The sad news is theres thousands more out there ready to go. Fuck.

Wise Up!

 Somewhere around the end of the Soviet Union's rusty reign of error, the GOP decided it needed a new enemy. The party had relied on a fear strategy for over 40 years scaring the bejesus out of Americans with tall tales of Soviet world dominance when in reality they knew the Soviets were a collapsing bucket of corroded bolts. 

Then came Bill Clinton. The GOP needed a new enemy to maintain the fear they relied on to win elections. No more godless commies. So turn on your own. Other Americans.

They've been doing it for 40 years. Demonizing fellow Americans. Appealing to the same assholes who saw a commie under every bed and feared the sudden surge for equal rights. Hey man, it works. 

The GOP has degenerated from a party of Lincoln and Roosevelt and Ike into a group of cynical exploiters reliant on white America's fear of equality.   

Meanwhile Democrats continue to prefer being the smartest guy in the room to actually winning elections. Their constant need to explain why somebody else is wrong by quoting policy and other wonky shit to people who hate them because of that need has to stop. You may be smarter than most people, you are definitely more well read, but to ignore peoples emotions and ignorance is a sure loser strategy. Yep, thats why they hate you.

Condescension is a losing strategy. Just fucking stop it. It may make you feel like you won but what actually happened is the exact opposite. You lost.

I am what they call a progressive, we used to be called liberals or commies, but what I realize is I will take what I can get. If I am offered two pieces of pizza while I'm looking at 8 pieces and I'm hungry and its apparent I aint getting the whole thing and probably not even 3 pieces I will take the two. I cant stress that enough. Take what you can get. Dont whine and scream and follow people into bathrooms and block people from leaving garages because you are arming the other side with your belligerence. The other side lies, and they twist things to fit the lies. And it works.  You armed them.

I dont want to spend my remaining years in some fascist shithole led by mean nasty assholes like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz. Or Donald Trump.

But thats what coming. If this same loser strategy is continued. Wise up and stop trying to Rise Up 24/7! You're trying way too hard to to lose. Try winning for a change. THEN do what you want.
