I just found this satirical piece that the Onion made in 2012 and was blown away by how accurate it was:

The Simpsons predicted it at least a decade before then.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
--- There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views. 
Scary. It even has the same orange tinge as the WLB.
Fortunately the Simpsons didn't mention whether he was two-term...

A second term would be up to Tom Perez.
I wonder what he'll decide to do ?? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You're right; the last thing I need is for him to get ambitious and annex Canada. At least right now I can pretend like this isn't actually my problem.

Funny as shit, accurate satire, but nothing really new about it other than 45 pulling the mask off the GOP.
The politics of white rage has been seething forever. They hated losing the civil war, they hated segregation ending and that same old white money is still bitter about Nixon getting busted. The only thing 45 did was pull the mask off. And the modern GOP is full of shit calling themselves the "party of Lincoln." Yea really? Look at your asshole leader, "They're rapists", "Ban all Muslims", Shits on Civil Rights icon, John Lewis MLK weekend, and tries to falsely equate those fighting the KKK and Neo Nazis as being the same. It is way past time the left stop allowing the billionaires and far right bigots control the narrative of our economy. I know this is satire, but it still can and should be used to put people on notice as to what the scam is. It should be about livable wages for all, urban blacks, and suburban middle class, and poor rural whites. It isn't because the GOP are the ones making it "identity politics". The left would love nothing more than to talk about economic stability and nothing else. But this is not a fight we started or wanted, but it is a fight we have always won in the long term. The problem is always simple, if you want to know who is causing the problem and protecting greed, follow the money. The left is not against the private sector, just abuse. We want livable wages for everyone no matter where they live. We want universal health care. We want better education for all. We DONT want to end business for simply saying everything needs speed limits and regulations. And if the assholes on the top who keep saying they want less people on the government dime, guess what morons, livable wages will do just that. Anti monopoly and anti greed is not anti business. Saying we are not a theocracy is also not a call to force religion out of existence. |
