There is a group of people out there who seem to be quite confused.
This would be the Democratic Party, a group utterly consumed by solipsism, who somehow presumes anyone wants what it is they have on offer or supports the tactics they are using.
Don’t get me wrong. There is no love lost between me and the current administration, if you can call it that. I have been opposing authoritarianism since I came out the womb, and this assembly of imperious clowns is no different. But the default alternative is literally ridiculous.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear for you, Democrats – no one is behind you.
Nobody wanted the government to shut down. Nobody cares about the purported funding lapses that you claim to be fighting for. Nobody wants you to be in charge or believes you are any more capable of leading the United States through this crisis of identity it is currently suffering than your rivals. Nobody.
Note the word I used there – rival. It means that you are competing for the same thing. Not governance or leadership; that’s not what the Trump cohort is engaged in, clearly. But avarice and control. That’s what you, the Democratic Party, wants. And you don’t care what lengths you have to go to or how much suffering you create in striving to obtain it.
Granted, there is a group of terrified Baby Boomers out there who are disgusted by Trump’s crass deportment and prefer their privilege be supplied in a more urbane manner who will inevitably vote for you because “what’s the alternative?” But none of them want to. They merely desire a return to the status quo, where their college degrees still confer the status they are accustomed to and racial prejudice is something only applied to peoples of foreign nations.
The fact is everybody recognizes the need for a new system, which is why MAGA exists in the first place. And that we got Trump instead of one is largely your fault.
There was a moment in 2016 when the real pain of this transition could have been pushed forty years into the future and possibly avoided altogether. But instead you, the Democratic Party, turned your back on what the demos wanted and forwarded your plutocratic shill instead.
Bernie Sanders was never going to be a gamechanger; he wasn’t going to make the structural realignments that the future of society requires. Still he would have avoided the looming global war and potential nuclear holocaust that this current assembly of imbeciles are doggedly pursuing. Surely he would have slashed the bottom line of your donor class, which never plays well with a group of pandering mendicants. As the saying goes, if you want the answer, just follow the money.
Returning to the present, simply stop. Stop talking, stop lying, stop pretending. Discontinue the charade. No one cares, and no one believes you. We honestly just want you all to go away.
It is absolutely astounding that a group of people could be so utterly self-absorbed as to fail to recognize that literally no one wants them around. If the Democrats – hell, any politician from any party – were in any way democratic whatsoever, they would pack up their bags and go home. Why they haven’t done so already should be a red flag to any freedom seeking person and cause to go looking for a pitchfork.
