One of the great things about Trump is he’s fully free from my last vestiges of partisanship. That was already fading going into the presidential primary as I no longer had the energy to root for any of the candidates as none of them seemed like they’d get us away from the same old, some old — well, except one who seemed like he learned about conservatism from watching Stephen Colbert. And when the election ended up being Trump versus Hillary, that was it. I was done.
And it’s been nice. Like at the election, I was all prepared for a Hillary win. And when Trump won instead, I was like, “Well, that’s interesting,” but no big change for me. And now when everyone is saying bad things about the president, I’m just like, “Yep, he’s pretty awful.” but also when people are like, “He’s going to destroy the country! We must stop him!” I’m like, “Meh.” I’m free. I don’t need to care either way.
And when someone says, “Republicans are bad!” I just nod and say, “Yep. They’re pretty useless.” But if someone says to me, “But Democrats are good,” I body slam him. So I’m almost free. When someone tries to prop up some mediocrity as something we should be happy about — like some people were recently trying to rally behind Kamala Harris like she wasn’t horrible — that still activates me. If you want to get excited about a politician and think he or she is good, you will have to get through me.
That’s why I’m a Libertarian. Someday, I feel we will take over the world with freedom. With limited government and fiscal responsibility. We are the Anti-Hippie Party and you wont even have to show ID to vote under us because the micro chip implanted in you will do it.
there might be something useful about Libertarians if you could get them to let go of the pot.
Frank, congrats. It seems you’re finally letting go of the idea that we have ever had any politicians who were NOT useless clowns.
In California realpolitic you are not allowed to answer any question asked by a leftist. They are not actual questions in the normal sense, but rather statements meant to show how morally superior they are in condescending to show up your ignorance.
This has led me to nodding in agreement more than anything else has in the last 18 months.
Making A “meh” reflex Great Again
Trump is Foghorn Leghorn — sometimes victor through his scheming, but sometimes victim of his own goofiness — and the press is the dog: also sometimes victor, sometimes victim.
They survive each episode to come back swinging in the next one, for our amusement.
(Nancy Pelosi or Elizabeth Warren is the spinster hen.)
Particularly Apt Analogy Bacon to you, sir!
Who is the chickenhawk? Gosh, where in DC can we find some runty pipsqueak with an inflated sense of his own worth?
