The
Last Days of Scamalot.
Here's the god's-honest truth;
If, after having won the 2016
election, Donald Trump had done nothing,
NOTHING but golf
for
four years he could have easily won
re-election. The economy President
Obama left behind was so robust the
American people would
have been content with the status quo.
But, no.
Trump
had to act a fool with his fucking walls and
the babies in
cages and Russians in the White
House and the Muslim bans and the
racism-racism-racism and then, to top it off,
making some sort of political decision
to let people die of Covid-19. That
doomed him.
Yes, if Trump
had
taken the danger of the virus as
seriously as President Obama had
taken for zika
and actually seemed like he gave
a damn
that people
were
dying of the disease he'd have won
reelection. And, worse, the Republicans
would still have
the
Senate because Democrats would not
have won the Georgia Senate seats on the coattails
of an "anyone-but-Trump" constituency.
It's true. Even after being callously apathetic
to the deaths of over 300,000 Americans only
about 120,000 votes, and the fucking Electoral
College,
separated
a
President
Biden from Trump II, Electric Boogaloo
Bois.
Yes, the gross vote difference
between the two was 7 million
but it took a full week of hunting
down the final votes in Buttnugget,
Georgia to make sure. The Electoral
College has got to go before we
get another pretend businessman
as the Republican candidate.
So 400,000 Americans, and counting,
can be said to have given their lives
to
save
this
country from the complete shit-show
of a second term for Trump. Though
I have to end this piece of fantasy
by stating that the U.S. would be
a pretty decent place if Trump had
just
golfed for four years, or eight years.
But he continued his criminal, larcenous ways and now
he's going to die in jail. Right where he belongs.

(And for you fans of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
The last four years have felt like traveling on the Heart of Gold, with its Infinite
Improbability Drive taking us through every point of chaos in the universe. Currently
we're at two-to-one against, and falling.
Normality will soon be reached as soon as we know what's normal anyway.
