Voting in US duopolist elections is an exercise in self-delusion. And it legitimates the whole stinking racket.
Americans can be excused, as they look toward mid-term elections, if they find their enthusiasm for the officially sanctified and morally obligatory act of voting severely inhibited.They have, on the surface, what was always supposed to be a distinct choice between parties, reinforced by conventional ideas of what they stand for, which did not always bear scrutiny.
The difficulty—thoroughly justified—comes in trying to identify, comprehend, and credit what the parties affirm as their prevailing philosophies now, and what actual positions they vow to defend.
Since the ridiculous implosion of the senile Biden apparatus and the Democrats frantic musical chairs farce to field a candidate, the Republican Party has undergone a hostile takeover by Trump.
In abject genuflection to him, it has abandoned any pretense of a coherent platform, and adopted in full that of Trump Victor, which consists of anything and everything he decides at any given time.
As Oscar Wilde said of vaudeville, ‘Those that like that sort of thing will find that the sort of thing they like’. Traditional Conservatives, though, prefer to have a list of purposes and intentions articulated, rather than to rely on snap fatwas of the Dear Leader, usually embarrassingly reversed or cancelled.
Though morality, intelligence, and the pure terror he incites make voting against his odious regime a virtual existential duty, one has to recoil in horror from the shockingly disgusting alternative.
His election was bought by rabid, Zionist Jew billionaires deftly managing that mass of vapid, ignorant, hateful simpletons which comprises roughly half our population. Rich Jews are elated that he fuels Palestinian genocide, and race murder is fine with his retro throwbacks, though it’s not inflicted on their race of choice.
The Republican Party has always been the party of the rich but, being so few, they had to mask their only creed by advancing the social, racial, and sexual prejudices they shared with most of the bamboozled electorate, so as not to seem driven solely by greed.
That posture, and the Old Guard who embodied it, has been blackballed from the ruling clique, and replaced by blood and guts, in your face, raw Barbarians for whom the nation exists only as a lush, helpless physical body to be raped openly, and at will.
This Mad Max coven of Trump’s warlocks lusts for the wars His Nullity vowed to end as sweet money-machines, and besides the razing of Gaza, they rejoice in the Ukraine cesspit, and urge balls-out attack on Iran and damn the consequences.
None of what the Trump party does has any resemblance to policy. It is pure smash and grab. It is what might accurately be termed Republican Barbarians’ version of Hope and Change.
Given these realities, one might suppose that any reasonably sensible, humane person would not hesitate for a moment to mark his ballot with a D, but that would be naively mistaken.
Though morality, intelligence, and the pure terror he incites make voting against his odious regime a virtual existential duty, one has to recoil in horror from the shockingly disgusting alternative.
Democrats, never a party of the people and always deeply racist, even when Johnson twisted tails, have dropped all pretense of representing human beings except in the abstract, and leased themselves out to the billionaires they pretend to oppose. Every single Democrat whore in Congress is funded by Zionist Jews.
That they serve the murdering 1% is disheartening, but what that means in practice is truly horrifying. The first is sworn loyalty to Zionist Jews and Nazi Israel as full partners of Trump. The sheer evil of Israel has made it hated around the world but Democrats join Trump’s sluts condemning criticism of its vile monstrosities.
Supporting the vicious, Nazi Kiev regime in the desire to break Russia is another criminal absurdity. Even as Ukraine is pounded flat, Democrats hysterically back Trump in a hopeless, insane hundred-year vendetta against a nation that has achieved great status, won’t bow to our economic exploitation, and defies the imbecile arrogance that is second nature to our failing Empire.
This idiocy was begun to oppose Communism of a century ago that no longer exists, but like a simple, bacterial form, The Empire continues endlessly doing the one thing it is programmed to do.
The final, crowning emetic of Democrat’s policy disasters is the full backing of Trump in his brainless, Hail Mary war on Iran. Based solely on the fantasy of The Empire’s invincibility—a myth long since shot to hell—and the wildly arrogant assumption it can tell other nations what to do, it has been an unmitigated defeat.
How does a person of average intelligence and some awareness vote in support of such a hollowed out, value free, and simply evil party, even when the alternative is the hideous Trump option?
It is a very hard moment to be alive when the only possibilities are ruinous and perhaps suicidal. The reality is that America, The Empire, is hurtling toward its end. The Empire has no benevolent ethic, no energizing social inspiration, and no vital purpose.
All its wealth and force is being consumed in a pointless battle for more wealth and force. America, as a glorious opportunity for humanity, was stillborn, dead on arrival, and never existed at all, except as hypocritical, boastful, and fatuous mediocre poetry.
Empires end, and humanity survives. Or always has, but that is not inevitable. Capitalism has all but destroyed the basis of human viability, and Man has promoted, or acquiesced in, its assault on the living world. In that larger sense, one must realize our elections don’t matter. Rendered uninhabitable by and for Man, the world will go on without his evil, suicidal arrogance.
