American Idiots

All morning I have been trying to pin down just what emotional response I should be dealing with. Oddly I have not felt any anger, just disappointment.... Disappointment that The USA was not happy to be extremely stupid when they first elected the Orange Asshole; they had to double down and put him back into office. 

We had plenty of warning. We had more than enough righteous reasons to kick his sorry ass out of our politics. Not enough of us were paying attention, or is it there were too many of us who loved being Willfully Fuckin Stupid so much, they elected him a second time.

What comes now?

At this point I do not care anymore. Whatever happens, we will have deserved it. I am not holding out much hope the results over the next so many years will be very positive.

Don't bother keepin it 'tween the ditches. you  Fascist Lovin American Idiots.

You just drove our country into that ditch.

I tried my best to not use Green Day's, "American Idiot", as I have used it before, maybe more than a few times. But then there really is no song that covers the last 30 years of our country's slide into rampant stupidity better than it does. 

Play it Loud. Play it Angry. It probably won't help. But it gave me a moment of contentment. Oh, and I included the lyrics. They are so appropriate for how I feel.

TFG said the election was rigged, I'm beginning to believe him.

30 years?!?! In my opinion…. you should have said 44 years when Ronald Reagan was elected.

The Obama years were “ok” (about as good as we could have hoped with a RED Senate). And, while B. Clinton’s years were “ok” too although I still believe he was horrendous in supporting NAFTA and GAT.

My opinion is that what we have gotten with DJT is a direct result of Reagan and his union busting policies that to a large extent killed unions and to a large extent goaded blue collar males in the former “blue wall” to flip out of stupidity to worship dictators.

Also, I liked the post you had earlier but erased. It was almost a poem of sorts. I would encourage you to put it back up.
