The Miss Heard Round the World

[kimberlysteele]

I doubt anyone noticed, but I don't usually talk politics. Since Biden was appointed his placeholder presidency, I have made deliberate efforts to tune out all things political. Why? Outrage never helps, and that includes outrage from me. If I throw my own hate energy at the doddering pedophile vegetable in the White House, that is energy I could be transforming for better use on my own projects. Unlike today's Scientism-ists, I understand a few natural laws. If I exchange the finite energy of my personal being in order to throw hate, I take it away from my other goals, such as inspiring others with a love of music, composing Orphic hymns, learning Druid ritual magic, and generally being a better person than I was yesterday, if only by the slightest bit.

Dumb and Ironically Loud

The Left finally did a dumb enough act to get me to speak about politics again, and that is saying something. Americans have suffered with a failing jalopy of the economy in the wake of Covid hysteria. When I founded my local business support group for mask and vax-free networks, Speakeasy Illinois, I was in the process of collapsing my small business. I had so few clients, it was not possible to afford commercial rent. Though I am now swimming in clients again as per usual, during the Plandemic I legitimately considered skipping out of music teaching and doing something else... that was how bad it got. I got off easy. The Democrat-managed economy made huge swathes of the American population homeless. Plentiful fentanyl flowing into the country as well as a metastasized pharmaceutical system have put average people into the position where they can become violently addicted to soul-destroying drugs at any moment. There are beggars at every major intersection now in my realm of the posh suburbs. The homeless live and amass in forest preserves, making many of them dangerous to traverse. Inflation, shrinkflation, and crapification are through the roof. Most suburban Zoomers have two garbage jobs by the age of 25 and still live at home. Everybody is working, hustling, and breaking ass just to keep Mom stocked in paper towels and coffee creamer.

Gaslighting Makes Me Stabby

All of this would be almost bearable if we had not been gaslit for the last four years about being in a Golden Age. In said Golden Age, the aforementioned complaints not happening. The economy is great, they say. The 2000 election was the fair result and what Americans wanted, they say. January 6 was an insurrection and its provocateurs still rot in prison. Open borders are virtuous. Men are women and women are men. Riots and fiery lootings are peaceful protests.

If there is one thing that can transform a regular, law-abiding human being into a homicidal maniac, it is gaslighting. Back in the fifth grade, I remember being gaslit by another little girl who was known for openly lying. I don't even remember what she was lying about, but when she lied about me, I had the urge to snuff out her life. America is on the verge of civil war because of millions of people being told a pack of lies and then being coerced to pretend they like it.

When the lying, sniveling media pretended that the Presidential Weekend at Bernie's farce had only become apparent at the first debate, it was more fuel on a roaring fire. Biden's gaffes started well before he assumed the POTUS title. The Left has merely reaped what they have sown. Watching Biden call Zelensky by Putin's name would be funny if we had not been gaslit.

"Hate"-Humping the Air

All this time, the Left (and this includes Trump Derangement-addled RINOS) had every opportunity to be the change they wanted to see in the world. Instead, they are a lot of lunatics who have been babbling and screeching for nearly a decade now, throwing every fiber of their being into the love of Trump. You heard me correctly: the LOVE of Trump. The Progress cult is a church of hate. They only claim to despise Trump. For when you are in love with hatred and hatred is your drug, the object of your addiction is also your beloved. BLM Chicago used many occasions during peak Plandemic to twerk in supposed defiance of Trump: the result was hilarious cringe. It absolutely read as a fertility ritual as they humped and gyrated, wishing for the magic seed that never came; pathetic! The legacy media broadcast Trump 24/7, making it abundantly clear who and what they lusted after. A hate boner is still a boner.

Trump is the mirror onto which the Left projects its own sins and the Left is in love with its own reflection. They predictably accuse Trump of every sin for which their side is responsible. When Trump was caught saying he would grab 'em by the pussy, Biden was actually doing it, both with Tara Reid and his own daughter Ashley, whose childhood diary reveals that she was afraid to shower because of her father's habit of climbing in with her. Accusations of Trump's violence and injustice were actually perpetrated by Leftists, both in speech and action. Trump's alleged racism was yet another projected Biden trait. Ole Corn Pop's senility now ensures he cannot hide his superiority complex when it comes to non-white people.

The soundest advice at the moment is to stock up on popcorn. We live in interesting times. We are living in an era of great change; one can feel it in the air. The lions of the entertainment industry are being poached. No one is safe; not J.Lo, who has been reduced to empty concert venues despite tickets costing eight dollars. Rumors have it that Oprah could be arrested, and even if they are not true, keep in mind she was untouchable a decade ago. Sean Combs, otherwise known as Diddy, is done for. The sacred cows of the previous era are being served up as steak.

Trump is not an Orange Julius Caesar - he's far too lucky for that. He is our Marcus Aurelius. We are coming into one last, fleeting era of prosperity before a descent into brutality and chaos. Stock up, stay level-headed, keep it thrifty, and get your affairs in order while you still can.

All that. I think I went through the same disillusionment from the (R) side.

They're all the party of the rich now, and we ain't.

Trump's the best in a whole salad bar of pretty lousy options. If anything's going to change for the better, it has to happen from the ground up, and all you can do in an election year is try for someone at the top who won't actively sabotage you.

I don't hear anybody talking about bringing inflation down, or busting up the real-estate investing congame, so... it's hard to be interested in whatever the policy talking points are, beyond the big "how likely are they to get us involved in WW3?" Trump actually did things while in office that kept the RUS/UKR thing from blowing up. Knew how to play the deterrent game. Now that we're in it... (grimace). And then there goes our freshly nominated VP talking up war with Iran!

It's far beyond the possibility of repair, I think. Everything is made overseas, and a whopping majority of it in China. Real estate, education, and health care have become rackets of the worst sort. People in general have become helplessly dependent, present company included. I have better work hours than most, but I still don't have time to do a quarter of the cooking/prep/herbalism/canning/homesteading stuff I need to learn if things continue to get worse. I don't trust Vance as far as I can throw him. Something about him seems off. Trump is not good at choosing VPs.

[methylethyl]

Vance is a Yalie. That's some weird money/power/influence cult and IMO a degree from that institution should disqualify people from public office. People don't go there for the education. They go there for the connections.

Vance is, I think, completely owned by those connections. Whatever he says, he will work for their interests, not ours.

[kimberlysteele]

I had no idea he wrote Hillbilly Elegy. It was made into a movie with Glenn Close. Agreed that he seems super sketchy.

[methylethyl]

Good book. Haven't seen the movie.

If he's really been reading the NRx stuff and taking it to heart, I expect great things from him. Not necessarily good things, but certainly great things.
