The Second Year Of The Trump Administration Is Coming To A Close...
...and WHAT HAVE WE FOUND?
>> We've found that some people genuinely want to TURN BACK THE CLOCK to what is often mistakenly called a simpler, more innocent time. They seem to want the KKK running things the way they did in the 1920s, when, for instance, 1 out of every 4 people in Indiana was a member of the Klan, and a Klansman ran for governor to wild applause from his supporters before he was busted for murder. I even heard about a U.S. Senator, in office as I type this, who not only attended a private school called a "segregation academy" in the 70s -- they flew the Confederate flag and everything -- but who also sent her own daughter to another such academy 20 or 30 years later. Consequences? What consequences? It's only a Senator spitting in the face of everything America stands for.
>> Other voters for 45, who still support him angrily, include people who want the rich to get richer without regulation, without embarrassing criminal investigations, without consequences even if they are STONE COLD BUSTED doing something reprehensible. Have you heard anyone really griping about what Mark Zuckerberg is doing with their data, for instance? Has anyone called for him to get arrested?
>> Oh, and the nationalists. People who want to build the Great Wall of Texas to keep out the furriners who are TAKING OUR JOBS. Because they really think people without their paperwork in order, who have no working knowledge of English even, can waltz into any place, any time, and take a highly-paid job that rightfully belongs to a white guy who has a voter's registration slip and a Social Security number. These are the same people who chortle contentedly when they hear their president calling other countries shitholes, and don't have anything to say about it when he's kissing the asses of dictators that any other president would be slapping with sanctions.
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
>> We've learned that after all the decades of yammering about wanting PEACE and HARMONY in the world, hey, some people want the OPPOSITE. This is GREAT NEWS for us Discordians. Americans want culture war, race war, or plain old-fashioned war war. They want a nice, simple divide between US and THEM and they will go to any length to make THEM look bad so we can feel good about US. This is tearing apart families and communities as I type this. It certainly isn't improving our relationships with any other countries. Does anyone object? No, because...
>> We've learned that like the zombies mesmerized by fireworks in the Romero movie Land Of The Dead -- which allowed zom hunters to ice them and loot their towns -- Americans are willing to gaze excitedly at the spectacle of 45's latest Twitter tantrum or diplomatic slugfest without noticing that they are being robbed, and even killed, by the stupidity of 45's minions. God only knows what Pence and Company are doing behind the scenes while Americans watch the fireworks and even John McCain -- a right-winger's right-winger -- turns over in his grave.
>> We've learned that the GOP has absolutely no useful ideas about anything. Which is fair, I guess, because neither do the Democrats. But where does that leave the rest of us? I know where it leaves the Discordians: AT THE GATES OF PARADISE.
