You're inching closer to me, Lars. Just remember: your vote doesn't matter, it has never mattered, and it never will matter. So don't worry about it.Look. I’m not voting for Trump. I’m probably writing in Cignetti because my vote won’t mean shit in IN.
But, honestly, **** the choices. The way the populace treats this very serious time in our history just further lays bare our inability to solve any problems or really do much of anything at all.
I’m approaching nihilism. This can’t continue. Do we really need cataclysm, catastrophe, collapse, Idi-****ing-ocracy before we wake the **** up? Apparently we do and that’s beyond disappointing. It’s crushing.
The thin veneer of civility means something. It’s what separates us from the truly shithole countries.
Trump isn’t wrong about some things. NAFTA ended up ****ing up a bunch of shit and especially for poorer and lower middle class blue collar Americans. Both goddamn mother****ing sides did it. And they continued immigration policies which further degraded the wages of the blue collar class. And now we’re totally ****ed. But what does the orange menace do? Be a ****ing racist piece of shit. So now the left, who should ****ing know better because they should ****ing be for blue collar labor in this country, turned their ****ing backs on them. And now the left calls their former constituents racist for seeing that Trump might be onto something about our political elites. On both sides. Why? Because Trump fluffs racist bullshit and he’s a transactional asshole who only does what benefits him. Like courting the alt right and dropping dog whistles more often than a duck hunter.
And that’s why he can’t get my vote. Harris is a loon and a blank slate for the progressive left. No ****ing attempt to pivot and she’s about to ****ing lose to this ****ing gasbag asshole.
Sonofabitch, pass the Tylenol.
