Donald Trump is happy right now because he got what he wanted: (1) a Supreme Court that grants presidential immunity (2) a Democratic Party filled with anxiety, fear and uncontrollable thoughts of doom, causing self-inflicted wounds.
Democrats, please for the love of god or whatever non-binary, gender neutral, eco-friendly, vegan, god-like idea you may worship, stop crying like a teenager with a pimple at prom. We don’t have time for a protracted panic attack.
President Biden is old. He had a bad debate. People fuck up…even you. Stop wasting time and energy talking in padded privileged circles about how the debate impacted your feelings…how it caused you to have heart palpitations…how you were personally triggered by the debate performance of an old guy with a cold. And this is coming from a person who lives with anxiety. I get it, the struggle is real. And so is the requirement to pick yourself up and keep on pushing…just like Curtis Mayfield sang.
Remember, Donald treats debates like fake wrestling matches…he puts on his orange mask, screams, and pretends to land punches. Donald doesn’t give a damn about policy or The people…he’s just trying to stay out of prison, while the Republican cult is trying turn America into a Conservative Christian carnival of Bibles and “Black jobs.” Donald’s debate performance was a loud lie and because he said his lies loudly, while wearing bronzer and waving his signature small hands, he’s somehow the “winner.” It’s pseudo strength Donald is selling to eager buyers – its another Trump branded product like his steaks, cologne, Bibles, gold shoes, board games, condos, neckties, urine tests, and of course his mug shot.
Donald is not strong. Joe beat his ass once and he’ll do it again, people need to simply vote instead of hyperventilate. Donald, the King of Delay and Distract, wants the tedious talk about President Biden’s debate in the media cycle as long as possible to distract from: abortion bans, his threats to democracy, IVF, birth control, separation of church and state, January 6, the women he has assaulted, Trump Tower Saudi Arabia, Trump Tower Moscow, same sex marriage, and of course his small hands.
We have to work with what we’ve got. There is no time for the lofty academic deities that rule the op-ed world to whine with words about President Biden’s age or acuity. But hey, don’t listen to me, I write a rarely read website called, Namaste Negro, where my words are at times misspelled. Gasp.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s healthy to have dialogue in a political party. So, sit in your safe space circle and share, express your thoughts. It’s going to be okay. Cults are dangerous. Just look at the Republican Party and its cult members on the Supreme Court. We don’t want another cult nor do we want Donald in the Oval Office. Especially now that Republican Supreme Court Justices have replaced the resolute desk in the Oval Office, with a retribution BarcaLounger, complete with ketchup ready to throw.
Democracy is on the line. So, democrats need to pivot on a dime. This presidential race is winnable for Democrats. That’s why Donald is so scared. He knows reaching 270 electoral college votes will be difficult without his clan of fake electors. Donald can’t even win the popular vote because he’s not popular. Republican policy is not popular. The majority of Americans don’t want a king, abortion bans, or anyone legislating who we can love.
Do not allow your fear and anxiety to overtake reason and logic.
Move forward. We can’t allow anxiety to rule our lives…that’s what MAGA Supreme Court justices are for.
We need to ground ourselves and focus.
We have an election to win.
“As difficult as outrage is to maintain, it is a much more constructive emotion state than anxiety. Anxiety is what makes us controllable, and it is a natural response to what’s happening. But, it makes us slow to act, and unable to act, and outrage will drive us to act.” Masha Gessen
