Any of the regular readers know that I dabble in ridiculous satire with a cartoon version of President Trump and absurd versions of all our favorite Washington villains.\u00a0 Ove the last couple of years I\u2019ve had newly elected President Trump become a werewolf and devour the State Department just to help drain the Swamp.\u00a0 I\u2019ve indulged in time travel, personality transfer technology and the President and the First Lady opening up a dating service to help Millennials avoid dying childless.\u00a0 Nothing was beyond the pale.<\/p>\n
But how can I compete with the Resistance?\u00a0 A senior Senator from the great State of California introduced a woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of complicity in multiple occurrences of gang rape at a college fraternity.\u00a0 How can I compete with that?\u00a0 I mean, after the first \u201cincident\u201d would there be a rationale for returning?\u00a0 Was it just to make sure she wasn\u2019t mistaken with respect to the nature of the proceedings?<\/p>\n
The only way I can think of to keep up with real life is have one of the Resistance testify before the Senate to having been abducted onto a flying saucer at the hands of Space Alien Brett Kavanaugh.\u00a0 That might work!\u00a0 But I will have to work on the details.\u00a0 Is Alien Brett a humanoid alien indistinguishable from earthlings?\u00a0 Or is he one of the Star Trek, The Next Generation aliens that have some kind of wrinkles on their brow that saves enormous amounts of money on expensive latex costumes?\u00a0 Or is he a really disgusting worm or squid or something and only looks human when he wants to like from Men in Black?\u00a0 These are tough questions to decide on.\u00a0 I guess from the point of view of the Resistance, there is no more horrible monster than a normal white man so if he\u2019s that kind of alien it would sure make the conviction easy.\u00a0 If he\u2019s got the brow wrinkles he still looks mostly like a white man but it might earn him enough diversity points to confuse the shrieking harpies.\u00a0 And if he\u2019s a squid then the tree huggers will probably declare him an endangered species and declare him king of the world.\u00a0 Decisions, decisions.<\/p>\n
Well, anyway, you see my predicament.\u00a0 Life has completely swamped out parody and satire.\u00a0 There are literally no limits to the tactics these people will stoop to.\u00a0 They will destroy anyone and everyone who stands in the way of their agenda.\u00a0 I\u2019ve maintained that the Alt-Right, Dissident Right or whatever else people call it is wrong to think that we can\u2019t get back to normal.\u00a0 They claim that the country is broken and all the kings\u2019 horses and all the kings\u2019 men are out of luck.\u00a0 I\u2019ve somewhat waveringly hoped that the Trumpocalypse will right the ship and we can cobble together a new coalition of the less crazy that can eliminate the toxic excesses of Lyndon Johnson\u2019s Great Society and try to rebuild on the ruins of the old society that really was great.\u00a0 But it gets harder and harder to believe that the idiots on the establishment right are capable of withstanding the beating they will take if they try to resist the Resistance.\u00a0 I mean it was sort of entertaining to hear Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell make noises like un-neutered men.\u00a0 It was novel and it made me feel almost sympathetic for their plight.\u00a0 Almost.\u00a0 But they\u2019re gonna have to do a whole lot better than that if they want to win.\u00a0 Meanwhile let me get that copy of Galaxy Quest off the shelf.\u00a0 I\u2019m going with squid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
