Gopping Off the Cliff
SIMPLE & QUICK: Trump takes consensual GOP hostages, their abandoned party ideology, and pliés clichés as he bum-rushes fate
Some keep theirs high and others have them on the low, but Trump has no real friends in any real places. Only imaginary monsters, what-he-would-call cucks, and a seditious lady friend or two. As time moves beyond November 3rd, it becomes more clear that the 45th lame duck President of the United States has little power, even fewer words, and clearly, no savior.
Since Election Day in the U.S.A., Americans have seen their reality TV President claim false victory at two-in-the-morning, extol exaggerated grievances at dead South American dictators, and assume the use of his occult crew to bungle a cockamamie soft coup.
In 2016, Donald John Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes. Joe Biden won Michigan on November 3rd, 2020, by 154,188 votes. Biden’s 2020 win margin is more than 14 times greater than Trump’s meager 2016 win. Still, Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two Republican members of the bipartisan Wayne County Board of Electors, felt compelled. So much so that they broke the same clerical proceedings that gave Michigan’s 16 Electoral Votes to Trump’s marginal win 2016.
The two Republican officials were immediately berated by the very voices they are to uphold. The voters parsed no words in calling Palmer and Hartmann explicit racists, among more colorful nomenclatures. Nevertheless, the duo did give in to due diligence and the ascertainment continued. But just long enough for POTUS to invite Palmer and Hartmann to the White House. What was a week of palace intrigue in guessing the on-coming shenanigans betwixt the rancorous Republican trio, only imploded into nothingness as Michigan certified its 16 EVs for Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, on Monday.
Under Donald J. Trump’s tenure as POTUS, and recently sanctioned by 71 million American voters, the Republican party is forever changed. What was once the party of small government and fiscal responsibility, and which clarioned pro-business legislation and family values, is now responsible for a $3.1 trillion dollar deficit, the largest since 1945 (before the pandemic). Trump added a total of $7 trillion to the national debt in his four years. Trump’s predecessor, whom Republicans chastised regularly for fiscal negligence, added $7 trillion to the national debt— after his eight-year tenure.
The rugged individualists of today’s Grand Ole Party flounder alongside a whiney loser. A whiney loser, whom is such a snowflake that because he lost his election in a landslide, he is spending his remaining days stymying his country’s national security, endangering public health, and being a general pain in the ass for the in-coming Biden administration’s transition team. The Reality TV president, who rose to power under suspicion of treason, spends his remaining days abandoning treaties, destroying surveillance airplanes, and using Russian mis-information to ensure that more Americans die from a pandemic that the Republican president knew himself from its onset was going to be “a real bad one.”
