December 14th<\/sup> 2020<\/i><\/p>\n

The Electoral College held its vote today under some of the strangest conditions in American history. In some states threatening mobs gathered outside, hoping to intimidate the electors. In Georgia, some goofs presented themselves to the public as \u201calternative electors\u201d and voted for Trump. In various spots, there were vigils held by people demanding that Trump be given justice by the courts, something he has already had over 50 times over the past six weeks. He lost every one of them, including to a large number of Trump-appointed judges, plus all three of Trump\u2019s appointees to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Of course, Trump WILL be given justice by the courts after he leaves office. But that\u2019s different. If it\u2019s bad for Trump, then it can\u2019t possibly be justice.<\/p>\n

The thing, dealing with the dead enders who still believe Trump has been given a second term, is that behind all the bluster and anger and moral rectitude is a level of servility that can\u2019t be described. How DARE the voters defy the Lord? No, they didn\u2019t defy the LORD! Evil forces twisted their will! Trump actually won by 600 million votes, because he is the Lord our God. But Satan is everywhere, in the voting machines, in the Republican states, yeah and verily in the hearts of all the judges and all the state governments that solemnly proclaimed Joe Biden to be a winner.<\/p>\n

Surely there is a mistake. God can\u2019t lose an election!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing to see Republicans who believe they have a right to rule. They are rich, or at least well-connected, and throughout human history the rich have always assumed they had a right to rule. It\u2019s why human history, by and large, is pretty fucked up. Wealth doesn\u2019t buy wisdom or forbearance or a sense of justice. It just buys hangers-on willing to maintain the illusion of such things as they gouge the people.<\/p>\n

Trump supporters, by and large, are in the bottom 90% of American income. They are, by definition, a small percentage of that 90%, but they are noisy and arrogant and sometimes violent in defense of a man whose openly stated talent is the ability to cheat and steal. Yes, Trump supporters, that includes you. Trump\u2019s personal history is littered with the corpses of his supporters. That won\u2019t change.<\/p>\n

Trump supporters either prop their belief in that wastrel on either absurdities (\u201cTrump will take care of us!\u201d) or flat out ridiculosities (\u201cTrump has earned the respect of the world!\u201d)<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been drawing in the wagons over the past few weeks as more and more of their illusions are shown to be delusions. Liberals didn\u2019t control the vote. If they did, Mitch McConnell would be long gone, and they would have had huge majorities in the House and Senate. They didn\u2019t even control Georgia, where both Senate races went to runoffs next month which will determine who controls the Senate. There was no fraud, and even Trump\u2019s own lawyers admitted there was no evidence of fraud. China didn\u2019t rig the election. Nor did Hugo Chavez or the Canadian government.<\/p>\n

A lot of Republicans had already spun off from the party over the past 12 years as madness enveloped the party. Charles Koch is said to have regretted forming the Tea Party, the font from which much of the madness in today\u2019s GOP flows. The joke making the rounds is that \u201cA moderate Democrat is a Republican who realized just how bat-shit crazy his party had become.\u201d<\/p>\n

This brings us to a fabulous creature known as the Oozlum Bird. The Oozlum bird, when startled, will take off and fly around in ever-decreasing circles until it manages to fly up its own backside, disappearing completely. The behavior of the Oozlum bird has been famously used to describe the ever diminishing realities of paranoids and cultists as their views of the world are put under pressure by the steady application of facts.<\/p>\n

Trump has basically already flown up his own ass and vanished at this point. And a lot of the party, including the state A-Gs and pitiful congressionals who voted to support Paxton\u2019s ludicrous effort to have Texas nullify the votes of four other states are finally conceding that yes, Biden did win the election, although quite a few are snarling that as soon as some evidence that
\nBiden stole it does materialize, they\u2019ll be right back in court.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, they\u2019ve declared war on the GOP and Fox News, which tactically makes as much sense as trying to force the oxygen out of the room you are in.<\/p>\n

The right wing trash including the outlaw bikers and the Nazis who have been threatening public officials and roaming the streets of Washington DC and Portland looking for Jews<\/span>, um, Antifa to beat up are starting to notice they don\u2019t have the support of the people, and without that, they are nothing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all over but the shouting, and that will go on for quite some time, but for all intents and purposes, the Oozlum bird known as the Trump movement has vanished with an effervescent, if somewhat smelly, pop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
