'Winning Blind Cruel Inept Nationalism, Also Cultism'
"Hoo boy. The stupid and evil, somehow accelerating, burn. America’s so-called leader, the 'Worst That Has Ever Drawn Breath,' manifests ever more cognitive dissonance on steroids. Absurd, addled, vindictive, looming above 'a circus of death and chaos,' he commits war crimes, guts voting rights, plots devastation, abases decency, murders mercy, yet whines about mean jokes. But as America reels, Banksy, Bruce, Platner and others increasingly declare, 'We are not fucking doing this anymore.' "
"Amidst what the head of Amnesty International calls 'the year of the predators,' humanity itself is under attack, most notably by our ludicrous narcissist and his 'casual, bewildering cruelty.' Despite his foolishness, Nesrine Malik writes, 'This is what evil looks like': See history’s portrayals of Hitler - 'the startling insignificance of this man who has set the world agog' - and Mussolini, 'that funny man, that consummate buffoon.' Trump’s 'farcical puniness,' Malik notes, is 'a projection onto the world, not of large intent, but of smallness and fear...The consequences of his violence are secondary to the validation that comes from inflicting it (to) erase his terror of humiliation (and) feed his sociopathic appetite for escalation.' Thus can deeply silly still equal dangerous."
"Daily, the large and small atrocities are both, albeit without the resonance of the label 'fascist' only because he lacks the wit, intent and coherence it requires. The war in Iran veers on: 'Another day, another pivot. Trump flails.' It’s won, not, won but not by enough, it’s not a war, we made a deal, we don’t want a deal, talks are going well, we don’t wanna talk, Iran struck a school full of young girls, or if we did it’s Obama’s fault. Give me ballroom or give me death: The solution to gun violence that kills 12 children a day, wounds 32 more and has affected over 390,000 kids since Columbine - is to build one rich white guy who’s never expressed any grief over any of them a gilded bunker of his own. The way to keep more people safe is to kill as many as possible, including by firing squad."
"Also, Bill Maher, Hakeem Jeffries, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are low IQ losers, James Comey tried to kill and 'inflict bodily harm on' him with 'aggravated beachy seashell pictures,' he’s so 'young, vital, vibrant' he could’ve joined the Artemis II astronauts easy like he aced his three screening tests for dementia - 'A lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. Which one is the bear?' - which the Villages audience def couldn’t do, ditto sketchy Harvard Law graduate Hussein Obama. America’s response to his musing what we’d do if a con man moron turned up - 'How do you get to be president and you’re stupid?': 'That would suck - we’d probably have unprovoked wars, high gas prices and all our allies would hate us,' 'He’s so close to getting it,' 'The Irony Meter is dead after spontaneously combusting,' and "You’re a fucking moron.' Also, so grotesquely weird."
