that’s all 75,017,613 of you. Sure, that’s a BIGLY amount of Dems, but not as many as 77,302,580 who drank the orange Kool-Aid of the POT. (Party of Trump).
The Electoral count was even more dismal, similar to a lopsided football score 31 Red States vs. 19 true Blue.
Face it Dems, we’re a minority party as I stated in this post.

Quite honesty, we’re shtupped (f—ked). While we were drinking our DIPAs (me) and you drinking Chardonnay’s, Cab Sav’s or masticating gummies the future MAGAs were patiently waiting and yearning for the West Wing.
Who were these insidious instigators? Here’s a short list:
The illiberal authors of Project 20??, the “Libertarian” Tech Twerps, Fox Fear “News” Network and White Hypo-Christian Nationalists were all on the lookout for their future 
The requirements for this vile POS were simple. Someone devoid of any benevolent human traits, a serial incurious liar, a sleazy sexual predator and shameless, poop for brains shyster with the flair of a drama king. Wallah! Out of “The Apprentice” and multiple Chapter 11 bankruptcies descended Donald J for Jackoff Trump.
The Fringe had found their Malevolent Messiah. Now, unfortunately the Fringe isn’t, It’s mainstream POT.
Which now led Merica to ROT. Republic of Trump.
How did this happen? Here’s a good start:
The United States is facing a literacy crisis.
- Reading scores have steadily declined since 2017, and this decline in reading is outpacing similar trends in math scores.
- Public schools are losing libraries and librarians, and nearly 50% of American children do not have access to books at home.
- The problem is not limited to kids—according to a YouGov poll, nearly 50% of Americans did not read a single book in 2023.
Add to this the proliferation of shit-stirring alt-right social media influencers, each vying to outdo each other in outrageous falsehoods in their racist rants. Which leads me to Charle Kirk. No one should be murdered for voicing their opinions. But deifying Charlie is ludicrous. Here’s some of Chuck’s quotes:
“If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

Obviously Charlie wasn’t aware of the Tuskegee Airmen.

“If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

All the women mentioned above attended Ivy League Colleges. CK was a one semester drop out at Harper Community College in Palatine, IL. Not that’s there’s anything wrong with that!
“Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled Alzheimer's, corrupt, tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.”

Lastly, this Second Amendment gem. Probably worthy of a do-over.
“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”
– Event organized by TPUSA Faith, the religious arm of Kirk’s conservative group Turning Point USA, on 5 April 2023
I’m not religious nor do I pretend to be on Facebook, but claiming gun ownership is a “God-given right” is a mockery of basic theology.
All this leads me back to my supposition. Many of our fellow Mericans are willing to follow less than credible, knowledgeable or admirable people. Sorry Charlie you were no Mother Teresa, Gandhi or MLK. You were just another Shock Jock.
The erosion of smarts has been on the wane for quite sometime. Carl Sagan called it in 1995.
“The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”
If you don’t believe Carl, think of all the 77,302,580 folks who willfully voted to re-elect a thrice married, 34 count convicted felon, self proclaimed “ p—-y grabber” and architect of Merica’s one and only attempted coup.
MAGA folks screamed “Shit! That ain’t nothing! No problem! Trump will bring down the price of eggs!”
Which proves Carl’s point.(although he states this more tactfully than I would)
My fellow Democrats, it’s time to forego the notion of POT coming around to see our point of view. It ain’t gonna happen. Not only are we up against voters who “do not have the brain processing power” (Mr. Kirk quote) to read, fact check and analyze the tsunami of information and misinformation spewed out at a “Breaking News” pace. Many simply don’t care.
Sadly, that’s not the only problem..The ROT displays a mean spirited, cruel, feral “Fight, fight, fight” demeanor. It’s performance Gobment. A 24/7 loop of Jerry Springer shows to keep the heat on HIGH. Gone are the days of Trump version 45 with its veneer of normalcy by the placement of a few grownups in the room. IE: Generals John Kelly, Jim Mattis, Mark Miley and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
Trump version 47 replaced them all with inexperienced, incompetent know-nothings loyalists. A pack of Cabinet Clowns play acting in their rolls while limelighting their failures. IE: Defense Secretary Hegseth’s March 2025 war plans announcement on a Signal group chat. Hey Pete! Why didn’t you post those classified military secrets on Facebook for more “likes”?
Better yet! THIS!
Presently there are no Constitutional checks and balances. The POT Congress? More than willing to cede power to the Executive branch. SCOTUS? I believe a renaming of the SCOROT might be appropriate. In this abomination of an Administration the only checks are made out to Trump Inc which increases the Trump Inc balance sheet. Our Gobment is now a kleptocracy/autocracy of one revenge seeking Commander in Thief.
To sum it up, we’re in a fine mess. Here’s my black and white prediction. If you were paying attention on July 24th, 2024, the Dictator wannabe told a West Palm Beach gaggle of Christian Conservatives the following. To vote “just this time.” He went on to ramble “You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.”
Well, for once Trump wasn’t lying. He meant each and every diabolical line about the destruction of Merica’s democracy Come 2028, there won’t be an election.
Dems, don’t be fooled! The almost three fold increase in the ICE budget, isn’t about arresting mostly harmless immigrants who wash our dishes, clean out hotel rooms, mow our lawns, pick our fruits and vegetables or build our homes.
From the Brennen Center for Justice:
”The so-called One Big Beautiful Act allocates more than $170 billion over four years for border and interior enforcement, with a stated goal of deporting 1 million immigrants each year. That is more than the yearly budget for all local and state law enforcement agencies combined across the entire United States. The bill adds billions of dollars to border enforcement, but the largest percentage increase goes to finding, arresting, detaining, and deporting immigrants already living in the U.S., most of whom have not committed a crime and many of whom have had lawful status.”
What we’re seeing now is a trial run. The masked body snatchers are training. Trump has a paramilitary force who are on “Stand By.” notice. ICE will prove itself to be Hitler’s SS. When Trump pulls the trigger in 28 or before. It’ll be everyday Blue citizens who will be “detained.” If things escalate to full on violence think:
The French Reign of Terror:

And Kristallknacht:
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/kristallnacht
Add in a dollop of the Night of the Long Knives.
https://www.britannica.com/event/Night-of-the-Long-Knives
These horrible events will attract Kyle Rittenhouse citizen type vigilantes joining in the festivities. Yes, Dems not only have we been outnumbered and outmaneuvered, we’re outgunned as well.
Oh yeah, the National Guard is ROT compliant as well. BINGO!
There’s only one exit ramp for this approaching history in a bad way moment. That’s for a Demon of Death intervention. (by natural causes.) Even the best of lawyers or the SCOROT can’t delay the “Great Inevitable.”
Final thought. I won’t be posting this blog on Facebook. I’m afraid of possible retribution. This is a sad statement on our times. That being said, feel free to forward this to like minded Liberals. The few who are left.
Sending Thoughts and Prayers,
Jeff
