Our love is here to stay?

 

In the wake of the recent cataclysmic election, I keep hearing how this may be a major political realignment. One certainly hopes we have seen the best days of MAGA. However, I feel that all of this talk of a new political reality may be a bit premature.

As previously noted, much of the source of this landslide election came from the very people who created the need for a landslide election. By being oblivious to anything other than their own personal cravings the nation was dragged into the path of an oncoming train. Having suffered the consequences of their own actions they have sought to undo their deed. But what if they can figure out how to inflict the pain on others without the damaging themselves? Will they still be one for all and all for one?

First generation immigrants (documented and otherwise ), who perhaps viewed the election through the clouded prism of the politics of their home countries, cheered on the campaign's plans to deport immigrants with reckless abandon. Black people, who after a 400 year unbroken record of racism have absolutely no excuse, supported an openly and historically well documented record of racism and white nationalist proclivities. White people who had a fairly comfortable and stable existence intentionally threw the country into turmoil because **checks notes** the price of eggs had gone up.

So you will forgive me if I am not quite ready to harmonize a national chorus of Kumbaya. We have come to know all about our so called allies in this quest for a more perfect union. They have proven themselves unreliable, untrustworthy and fickle to a fault. Those who are rushing to the ramparts of freedom, justice and equality today may one day effortlessly slip back to the other side the moment opportunity presents itself (and pretend they never left).

So what to do?

The political beneficiaries of the recent election should be very clear; the love of people who intentionally put the nation into the present political situation in a fit of pique, may not be here to stay. The Dems should understand that they have to deliver quickly and effectively. Two things come to mind, asswhuppins and accountability. 

And to be clear, the impediments of parliamentary procedure will not make for winning campaign slogans. 

Rebublicans be like...

If you want to live like a Republican...

  

This tsunami election was not a revolution of minimum wage workers. Sure, the minority groups were finally able to get on the same page, but this electoral result was the culmination of more than all the barrios and ghettos could possibly muster. This anger went beyond canceled welfare checks and ICE abused abuelitas. This coalition included folk who could rightfully be called elites who had started feeling the same insecurity as the rest of us.

The price of influence had been driven beyond the reach of plain old ordinary millionaires. The inflation from the ever growing riches of the billionaires in their quest to be the next trillionaire had turned many of the high and mighty into the lost and turned out. When your $100,000 contribution is essentially in the same category as a $5 contribution from the working poor, you feel the same insecurity as the rest of us. If your long green is too short to move the needle, it's time to grab a pitch fork and a torch and join the unwashed masses headed for the castle gates.

The question is, what happens when the entry level elites begin to feel more secure again. Do they continue to vote like Democrats, or do they, once again, abandon the Throw the Bums Out caucus that has issued forth the prevailing golden egg to renew their pursuit of the Republican lifestyle the old fashioned way.

Will they continue to support the cause or will it be like Groundhog Day all over again; the Republicans fuck the economy and the country to hell and back and then call in the Democrats to clean up on aisle 7. 

As things improve, eventually, the 2nd and 3rd tier elites start to feel better about themselves. Then miraculously, they once again suddenly find themselves susceptible to Willie Horton and migrant caravans and welfare queens arguments. From there all it would take is for some uppity black woman to out maneuver some entitled white man for the last parking spot and then bip bap boom, Don junior is El Presidente for life. 

It could happen, and probably will happen. If you count Nixon this was their 4th attempt. Sooner or later they are going to figure out how to do it correctly.

The Obama coalition didn't exist didn't until Obama's reelection. His first election was the original Throw the Bums Out coalition following Dubya's entry into the "let's see who can fuck the nation hardest" contest. With the stock market halved and the world economy verging on total collapse, maybe we ought to give this colored feller a shot at it. But memories were short, and the living was easy. And we sure as hell didn't want to keep that socialism shit up once we saved the financial institutions.

So as they say, we shall see. 

But the Democrats might not want to make things too easy for the entitled few, I don't know if we can recover from a 3rd round of "you break it, we fix it". 

Until then you can be my Monster Love.

I wonder if their position on cruelty will change too

 

I Didn't Know What Time It Was

 So, exactly who did they think he was talking about?
