Politics Please say rock bottom is getting close

Just finished reading the January 6 report. Lots of rock bottom.

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Oversight Committee asked how many Covid funds went to teach critical race theory to elementary school children.

 

New Jersey is facing inundation of lantern flies, an invasive species highly destructive to trees and crops. Authorities asked residents to help eradicating the insects. A nine year old Black girl filled a jar with vinegar and dish soap and went around the neighborhood spraying trees and catching lantern flies. A Karen called police emergency line saying a Black "woman" was behaving strangely and scaring her. The girl, several years from becoming a woman, was questioned by police who decided fortunately she wasn't doing anything wrong.

Happy ending. The girl was honored by local authorities and Yale University for her efforts.

 

Congressional Republicans have replaced their American flag lapel pins with AR-15 pins.

The US has 4% of the world's population and owns 46% of the world's guns. Lauren Boebert said we have to try harder to get more guns because 46% isn't the majority.

 

That's not rock bottom. It means she understands math. Rock bottom is understanding math and still claiming the elections were stolen.

 

Holy shit.....Does she have rodents running around inside of her skull?

 

All those coincidences! California has had fire season since there was California. Density and global warming worsened conditions.

Meanwhile, in race to bottom, DeSantis has recruited an army of Karens to be "Woke Busters", searching school libraries and removing books unappealing to Daughters of the Confederacy. One boasted gleefully about how she removed Michele Obama's memoir and a book on the Obama presidency, which I'm sure is full of drag queens and porn.

Are they winning? Or just louder?

One of the two major parties no longer has a program. All they have is fear and white resentment.

Elections are an imperfect gauge of public opinion. But simple fact, party of hate lost over and over. Their last real win was 2016 with help from Russia, Comey and New York Times.

I am old enough to remember when we had to explain why rape was a bad thing. We were ridiculed as crazy feminists for saying women (actually no one) likes being raped. Except for Trump and Tate types most people now realize it's very bad.

In ten years support for marriage equality became a majority view. Majority supports right to family planning.

I don't underestimate. The haters can, do, will hurt millions. They control the Extreme Court.

But they can't win a majority, which explains voter suppression.
