The Sound of Democracy Dying
Today, I heard the cheers for fascism by way of dozens of car horns blaring along the main street downtown here, a block from my home in rural Vermont. Dozens of them, driving up and down the main drag, being loud and obnoxious, like they all are, all excited for trumplefuckstick because they’re either that hateful of a nation they claim to be so proud of and love so much or because they’re far too gone and stupid to know what actual fascism looks like. It’s the 21st century recreation of the thousands of cheering fans who packed audiences to hear Hitler or Mussolini speak once upon a time.
The sounds is an abysmal comparison of how things are in the US, represented by a noise typical of gridlock traffic or a multi-car pileup on a major highway. Neither are good; people get upset and some even get killed. That’s exactly what this is now as we break records because 45 failed to take Covid seriously while he drained our nation’s coffers to enrich himself and make the poor even poorer. Still, these fuckwits are all jazzed up for him; not because they’re smart on any level but because to them it’s all a game of ‘own the libtards’ and nothing more.
This is the sound of democracy dying. Dozens of car horns screaming in the gray, cold afternoon. Loads of flags flapping in the wind like their own lips do, spouting ignorance, bigotry, racism and hate. It’s right here in my own quiet little Vermont town.
Our days are clearly numbered here in the US. All that bullshit about the bible and loving one another is horse shit. All that rambling on you hear about liberty and justice for all is a farce. We’re slipping away into the next big villain nation in world history and here, the crowds (a minority one at that) think they’re the good guys, just like all those fanatical Germans and Italians in the 1930’s. The stench on the air of history is exactly the same.
The GOP knows how to wield and hold onto power, even when they’re the minority. Democrats, for the most part, have all sold us out. We’re sliding rapidly to totalitarianism, plutocracy, fascism and every other bad ‘ism’ out there is swallowing us whole. While those who still try to play fair and by the rules are constantly being shafted, the darkness is swallowing us all whole here and nobody is coming to save us. Not a god, not Biden, not Democrats… Nobody.
When a Progressive/Liberal state like Vermont has these kinds of fascists having a horn rally, clogging up traffic in their auto-circle-jerk in such numbers, it’s a clear sign of the times that we’ve lost the Republic. A blood bath is coming, rule of law is soon to collapse, and the USA is about to be a thing of the past and nobody’s going to want to get near this shithole until the dust settles and that’s going to be a while. Perhaps Russia and China will dabble more in affairs here as the two carve up what pieces fall to the wayside during this the way we did when the USSR collapsed.
When asked, a long time ago, what it is that we’ve won in our independence, Benjamin Franklin stated that we’ve got a Republic “for as long as we can keep it”. While the “Great Experiment” had no expiration date and initially was set up to grow and prosper to be a better place, it has become abundantly clear that this is not the land of the free or the home of the brave. We know when this Republic died and continues to wheeze like a bunch of car horns sounding as the nation’s dying breaths come in labored, desperate gasps. Like a patient of Covid-19, we’re in quarantine from the rest of the world, dying on a respirator made of parts from corporate news and political corruption. We’re not allowed visitors and we’re going to die, as a nation, a long, drawn-out, lonely death before the USA finally flatlines.
Don’t worry though. Those rich folk that got all the tax breaks and hid their money off-shore will be just fine. While we tear into one another, black v. white, religious v. atheist/agnostic, LGBTQ v. straight whites, they’ll be dining well from afar as they watch the blood sport that “We the People” will be engaging in. The masses here never figured out that their true enemy has been the rich fucks who keep us divided; instead we, as a people, just keep giving them more money so they’ll let people here be more free to hate one another and kill each other more freely. Of course, this only applies to white folk. Forget it if you’re not a white, hetero, “christian” male in this nation!
The upcoming election is going to be a shit show unlike any we’ve seen in our history. We already know this. The polls closing, the gerrymandering, the open, blatant cheating techniques of the GOP and inaction of the Dems is patently, painfully obvious. If this was a boxing match, you’d know that the GOP couldn’t win a fair fight and the Dems got paid to take a dive. It’s that simple. So, we’re going to see the shittiest election ever in our lifetimes. This administration has done just about everything they could to destroy the election process and if 45 loses, it’ll be a court battle that he can’t lose now. It’s almost a waste of time and effort. It’s “zugzwang”; all their moves have led up to this and the proverbial Left is about to be put in checkmate in only a few short days and there’s literally nothing that can be done about it shy of a more “French” solution. Fascism is about to win. Democracy is about to die and you know what? These assholes still think fascism is some form of democracy and liberty all while thinking democratic socialism is evil. That’s how stupid the US has gotten.
As we approach “Game Over, Man!” I just wanted to point out this bit of prattling on because you, dear reader, are either part of the choir I’m preaching to or one of the fucktards out there honking horns and flying flags all jazzed up to watch the nation fall and fascism prevail. “That’s the way it is” and “Goodnight and good luck”.
Once all of the horn honking has died down and all is said and done, it all comes down to a line from the poem “The Hollow Men” by T.S. Eliot when he wrote “This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.”
