So, the Democrat Convention is in full swing and Obamas and Clintons and other non-human lifeforms have been paraded onto the stage and allowed to jabber on about this and that. Now I’m not crazy enough to actually listen to even ten seconds of this kind of thing. But I have seen some headlines and it’s as expected. Everyone loves Joe Biden and respects the hell out of his completely voluntary decision to step down from the presidential race. And the ones who love him the most are the ones who shoved him off the cliff. Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
And then they let Joe himself speak and it was apparently a very long and incoherent tribute to himself and his struggles. Well, hopefully that’s the last time he’ll have the chance to do that.
I guess tomorrow they’ll let Kammy talk. Of course, it’ll be scripted and tele-prompted so even an idiot like her will be able to bumble her way through it with all kinds of inappropriate pauses and cackles along the way. It will be about all the free stuff she’ll be giving us that somehow won’t make inflation even worse somehow. And then she’ll stand there grimacing while the non-player characters applaud thunderously for whole quarters of an hour at a time. And of course, the whole process is an abomination against actual democracy because none of the Democrat voters voted for Harris. They voted for that other brain-dead idiot Biden. But because he already revealed to the world at large that his cerebral cortex has rotted away something had to be done. And because the only other person who could use the money that the donors have given to Biden is Harris it had to be her.
So here we are. For the second time in four years a candidate who is dumber than dirt is likely to be installed in the White House and given control of the United States nuclear arsenal. If that doesn’t give you pause when considering what kind of world we are living in, I don’t know what will.
We have a little less than three months until the result will be announced to us. That even takes into account the now obligatory extra week for Philadelphia to print up an extra million ballots for the Democrat. In less than three months we will know for sure if we are living in a banana republic like Venezuela. Either that or the majority of American voters are criminally insane. Either way we will have to recalibrate our lives to take into consideration that assumptions based on this being the old American republic are completely unjustified.
In a banana republic it is completely unjustified to assume that the money in your bank account won’t be stolen by the government. Likewise, assuming that you will receive justice in a court of law is equally unwarranted. And believing any statement made by any of the organs of the federal government is equally foolish. What is needed is a new set of rules. Probably “1984” would be a good primer for reeducating yourself into the dos and don’ts of living in a banana republic.
So that’s what the publicity around the Democratic convention got me thinking. What I haven’t figured out is how to react if somehow Trump is declared the winner. Somehow, I have to believe that something really sinister would be waiting for us in that unlikely eventuality. My guess is COVID 2.0. Only this time they’ll use the real bioweapon. I guess I’m just an optimist.
