Nowhere to run...

Journal by fustakrakich

My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

[emph mine]

Here's looking at you, DNC!

When is she going to announce?

    Evidently, my dear and fistulated fustakrakrich, you are not familiar with the cultural reference to Idiocracy [wikipedia.org], of which this is a reference to. You see, in the future, according to the movie, people become progressively stupid, and eventually elect Camacho president, because he won the WWE, World Wrassling Entertainment, championship. Of course, he performance in office is almost, but not quite, as bad a Trump's. Has to do more with electrolytes than bribery, extortion, and squids who go pro.

    So now go and find the magical moral equivalency rock to hide behind, you Republican Troll! There is nothing you can to to save the party! They are going down with Trump. The only real question is what will the new, mostly, kind of, conservative party in American politics be named?

    "Bull Moose" is kind of outdated, Whigs are right out. That leaves, I guess, the new Social Christian Democrats! Just like in Germany, the heirs to the Nazi regime, only on the down low.

    Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that. I couldn't finish the movie.

    There's no need to search, the self evident is right there in front of you. Staring at you with those big, yellow, eyes... And it's hardly magical. It's perfectly natural. Almost mystical. That's the beauty. It just, happens. Awesome! And the denials? More so! Harrumph!

    So now go and find the magical moral superiority... No wait, I mean, go get your fuckin' shine box!

    The only real question is what will the new, mostly, kind of, conservative party in American politics be named?

    The old name from way back near the beginning of the republic still works, the Democratic-Republican Party.

      At its inception, Republican Party had almost no presence in the Southern United States; by 1858, however it had enlisted former Whigs and former Free Soil Democrats to form majorities in nearly every Northern state.

      Look, right there in Wikipedia! [wikipedia.org] Perhaps "Free Soil" could ride again, although in the era of the average age of Fox viewers and the state of the presidency, it "Depends".
