We have just celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day. During World War II, 16.4 million Americans fought all the totalitarian powers of the earth and beat them.
They were the Decent America of their time. They did not bray and bluster. They did not whine about being treated unfairly or concoct conspiracy theories blaming politicians they didn’t like. They left home, went to war, and saved the world—and then went back to work.
The virtues of Decent America are firm, determined, and abiding. When the job needs to be done, Decent Americans just take a deep breath—and then they do it.
Decent Americans are taking the their deep breath now. A narcissistic lunatic barely got himself elected in 2016. He screwed up everything he touched during his four years in office, including killing a million Americans because he couldn’t decide whether to solve the COVID pandemic or pander to his moronic base. He ended his term by sending his thuggish followers to attack Congress, trying to bludgeon it into letting him continue to hold power after he had been voted out by Decent America.
In the following four years, this unhinged lunatic has gotten more deranged. He continually harangues Decent America with vile, lie-ridden, nonsensical babble that seems to entertain his defective acolytes no end. And it all gets injected into the media-stream simply because he is a celebrity.
Decent America has had enough of it. From now until election day, we will be taking one long, collective deep breath.
And on November 5, we will get up and do the job. We will save the world again. Because our crushing defeat of the Republican party will set the example for the world once again. And the tide of totalitarianism that has been rising across the world will begin to recede.
Why? Because worldwide totalitarian forces have taken their cue from the election of the lunatic ex-president of the United States. If an antisocial, viciously authoritarian party like the Republican party can upend the world’s preeminent democracy, surely they can roil their own politics. The recent gains of right-wing parties in European elections are the monkey-see-monkey-do antics of international “conservative” bomb-throwers.
But “conservatives” are like porcupines. They bristle and rattle their quills to look formidable, but when confronted by a determined opponent, they run and hide.
Decent Americans have always been their determined opponents. They are all bristling and rattling right now, but we are not impressed. We are sick and tired of their idiocy, their arrogance, their saber-rattling, their chaos.
Their spray-orange madman of a figurehead is now openly comparing himself to Christ in his rambling, disjointed brain-disgorgements that even his most ardent supporters can’t help but fidget through. The worst mental and moral defectives among them—Marjorie Taylor Greene, for instance—actually believe he is the reincarnation of Jesus. A Christ-complex is an invariable symptom of megalomaniacal insanity.
Of course, Decent America has known since long before Trump entered politics that he’s a head case. We’ve watched day after day as his mental derangement progressed. We’ve wondered how much fear-induced hysteria his supporters will swallow.
Now we know that they will swallow all of it, digest it, and spew it back out to ruin life for the rest of us. So we’ve done with them. Now it’s past time to mop them up.
The decent Americans who went to war in the 1940s made this much easier for us, their descendants. We don’t need to risk our lives physically fighting those who threaten everything good and decent in today’s world. We only need to vote, to deliver one massive thrust of political power. That will end the Trumpian threat in America as well as the worldwide authoritarian threat eventually, once the foreign “conservatives” realize that Decent America is not fooling around.
Oh, sure, the die-hards will raise a ruckus. They will probably try another “stop the steal” scam. Some of the homicidal ones with guns will probably try to—and may even succeed at—killing innocent people. But all that will prove is that they really are the psychopathic threat we already knew them to be. And it will accelerate the societal obliteration of their vicious and tyrannical movement.
Decent America is going to wake up on November 5, send these “conservative” porcupines scurrying back into their holes, and plug the holes—and then go back to work.
That is how Decent America rolls.
I’ll see you there.
You couldn't be more right. Nearly every video of him raving, even in front of interviewers, shows a mind swirling in the abyss of madness. But the mass delusion that is Trumpism continues to pretend that he's a prophetic sage! No eye is blinder than the eye that wills not to see.
Trump is spiraling into dementia, according to “Shrinking Trump” podcast. This needs to be broadcast far and wide.
