Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory" may be the soundtrack for this stage of Trump's presidency.
We're left with Pence then? A less exciting spiral into conservative hell?
Pence is going down too, I guarantee it. He was unmistakably involved in both the effort to acquire dirt on the Bidens and the effort to cover up Trump's words and actions. Honestly, it looks to me like a few months of President Pelosi.
Liberals love the ever-loving fuck out of FDR and FDR threw a hundred thousand American-born citizens of Japanese descent into camps so that a bunch of white Okies blown out of the Great American Desert by the dust bowl could buy their farms for pennies on the dollar.
I imagine Pelosi (or the average liberal) would pay lip-service to denouncing Japanese internment, as they've done for the camps full of Mexican migrants...But I've never seen any of them acknowledge how that clearly racist and economically predatory practice has affected present-day agriculture OR Japanese-Americans. Which is to say: you're not wrong, not even a little bit. I just find myself getting unjustifiably optimistic when I'm not looking. And it's always tough to be brought back down to earth.
The part you missed was me audibly saying "fuckin' A" and then going back to recognizing how much horrible shit we discount when it doesn't fit the narrative. We shouldn't have gotten to the concentration camps. "Tampering with elections" is the sort of thing that's absolutely sacrosanct until it isn't. Lockin' up the darkies? Caitlin Jenner was on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2015. If you're 26 now, "are transgendered people entitled to the same rights as everyone else" is something you watched the country grapple with when you were 22. Mitch McConnell was 22 when the cops let the dogs loose in Birmingham. Judging human value on a gradient by skin color only became unacceptable in the recent, recent past, historically speaking. And if the world made sense when you were a teenager, and if it's all been downhill since, where else would you put the darkies but in cages?
