A friend of mine reached out to me today to tell me a funny story. It’s the story of a very odd woman, whom I do not know, who was all concerned about how a 12-year-old no-name-know-nothing-practically invisible 6th district congressional candidate did in the primary.

First of all, no one knew his name before Election Day (and I forgot it again already), and second of all no one else is running. This was the only warm body that the Chesco GOP could dig up.

Sadly, it really is a day for the stupidity of politics.

So this silly woman was all concerned that I was “against” this candidate and someone she knew was campaigning for this candidate. So this woman said she had to check to see the election results and does no one understand how a primary works?

Even more to the point, I wouldn’t get too lathered about Pennsylvania’s lackluster primary because I think around here the voter turnout was some thing in the pathetic area of like an average of 29% statewide regardless of party. In Philadelphia, turn out was about 18%.

Back to a primary day election and what happens.

If you were a Democrat, you chose your Democrats, if you bothered to vote at all. The exact same scenario was wash, rinse, and repeat on the other side for the Republicans. Not particularly exciting although I fear that we will all be tortured straight through to November with the ridiculous MAGA ads like the one currently running seemingly every five minutes and wow can you imagine the good they could do with that money instead of wasting it on propping up Donnie?

And I seriously think that someday HBO will do a series on this some day like they have twice on Robert Durst. Sociopaths, psychopaths, politicians and narcissists make great TV.

Now do I feel that the Republican Committee of Chester County is once more fielding a bunch of sub par candidates? Yes I do. Especially “PA Women in Red” which sounds like an ad for Tampons and/or a supplement with a free T-shirt for menopausal women. ( Hmmm maybe it’s appropriate after all? )

But guess what? What I thought personally was utterly immaterial with the primary this week. The only thing you can do in the primary is vote for people within your own political persuasion.

Now a sad truth is in Pennsylvania , the majority of people of both political persuasions once again didn’t even bother to get off their lazy asses and go vote so I don’t even know why we’re having this conversation, except we need to have this conversation because apathy and misinformation seem to make the world go round in politics.

This fall, unless if for some strange reason, one of these trials against him, has any real effect on the political process, we are looking at the second coming of Humpty Dumpty Trumpty. He’s been all over the news recently for his various court appearances, and I think also for his really bad spray tans lately.

But it doesn’t matter what anyone espouses about the upcoming general election/presidential election in November if you don’t actually vote.

This coming November is very important if you like your rights as an American citizen. And the reason that is important is because if you vote for Trump, he’s someone who doesn’t care about the United States Constitution. He only cares about his crazy dictatorship dreams. As far as he’s concerned, rules are for other people. And he doesn’t actually do anything for anyone other than himself and never has and that is the thing that is the most fascinating about the Cult of Trump.

And Trump is like a cult leader. All these people worship at the altar of a man who’s never actually done anything for them, and probably never will. The common woman and man who worship Trump need a civics class and a refresher course on the history of how and WHY our nation was founded, and an actual copy of the US Constitution.

Now I know by now, all these people are ballyhooing moi, because I have dared talk about their Comb Over Messiah. Tough noogies. He is a charlatan and always has been. He treated this country like a personal piggy bank, and did a lot more damage than good, much like he has treated his own businesses.

“Better than Jesus”: How far will the cult of Trump go?
MAGA has “been persuaded,” Katherine Stewart tells Salon, “that Trump is the savior who will face down the demons”

Donald Trump is a human chaos engine. It is a function of both his personality and his politics. He has shown himself to be what mental health professionals describe as “hypomanic”: He has what appears to be an endless amount of energy. 

Trump is an instinctive authoritarian and a demagogue. Although he has no real ideology beyond amassing raw corrupt power for his own purposes, Trump’s political project is fascist. He hates democracy, the rule of law, and any other restraints on his behavior and goal of being America’s first dictator. Such political strongmen and their movements use chaos, confusion, and destruction as one of their primary weapons to exhaust any resistance to them. As he has shown throughout the last eight years (at least), Donald Trump is a master of this strategy….Trump’s delusions of grandeur have been escalating as he continues to proclaim that he is some type of messiah-prophet, chosen by “god” and “Jesus Christ” to lead the MAGA movement in an epic End Times battle of good and evil against President Biden and the Democrats and “the left” to “save America” by winning the 2024 election. Trump is now also claiming that he is a “proud” Christian who is being persecuted – basically like Jesus Christ – by the courts and others who are daring to hold him accountable for his decades-long public crime spree….We can’t know the extent to which Trump believes his own lies. The more important point is that majorities of Republican voters believe him when he speaks. In last summer’s CBS News-YouGov survey, Trump supporters – astonishingly –tend to trust him more than they trust their family and friends, conservative media, or even their own religious leaders. We cannot overstate the role of conspiracism and disinformation in bringing us to the point we are in right now. Many MAGA voters have been drawn into a fear-filled, fact-free world. They continue to believe the Big Lie that the 2020 was stolen; they think Trump was the greatest president ever; they say that his indictments are just political persecution from a “weaponized” system of justice; and they have been persuaded that a global cabal is trying to strip away from them everything they hold dear – and that Trump is the savior who will face down the demons and set the world aright…As for the base of staunch Trump supporters, I’m sorry to say, but I think we should have very little hope of reaching them given the propaganda to which they have been subject over time. Many are locked into this idea that Democrats are baby killers, and anything is better than a baby killer. They have been successfully programmed into this type of very simplistic binary logic. 

Some of the newer messages focus on the fiction that Democrats want open borders in order to replace “real” Americans. It’s a lie, of course. A recent bipartisan Senate border security bill would have tightened the flow of daily crossings and made it easier to deport migrants. Trump tanked it because he didn’t want to hand the Biden administration a win; he wanted to keep campaigning on this issue. 

The one sliver of hope for reaching members of Trump’s fan base follows paradoxically from the fact that a large number of those folks live within very thick-walled information silos. In their world, everything Trump touches turns to gold.

Trump is and always will be a malignant narcissist and charlatan. He has single-handedly destroyed, the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln.

If people vote for him again, and if he gets reelected, we are getting the government we deserve. And it is that simple.

Women in his world are not supposed to have rights, and basically anyone who disagrees with him is also not supposed to have rights. So if that’s the world you want to live in, by all means vote for Donnie Douche again.

Politics is a giant shell game of BS when it comes down to it. I am thoroughly disgusted, yet fascinated by all of it. And I will vote for a better America, not the Stepford kingdom that lives in Donald Trump’s twisted mind.

You don’t have to like me, love me, or anything as a blogger. But you will not tell me how to think as a woman.

At the end of the day, it’s pretty damn simple: our forefathers fought and bled and died for our rights. Voting for anyone in the party of Trump runs counter to that and those are not the people who want to respect the rights of Americans, regardless of race, creed, color, sexual identification, etc.

And again, one of the biggest issues facing this election, will be a woman’s right to choose. And that also is simple. What it comes down to is it doesn’t matter what each of us feel as individuals, what matters is, what any woman chooses to do with her own body is her business. None of us have a right to dictate what to do. This election we need to take this off the table once and for all. Men in judicial robes, clerical robes, and political snakeskins should not have the right to tell any woman what to do with her body. And other women should also not be telling other women what to do with their bodies.

As Americans, we should want peace back in our country. And peace means getting rid of the Cult of Donald, straight down to state and local races.

As Americans we should also simply want better candidates and political representation regardless of political persuasion. I would truthfully welcome some actual real Republicans because our country was designed on a two party system for balance, and we have no true balance.

The politics of extremism are ruining this country.

I also feel that the Chester County Republican Committee with all of their frivolous “Trumped up” litigation about absentee ballots and whatever else they dream up in a fugue state, should be paying court and whatever other costs the citizens of Chester County incur because the county has to defend it all.

And finally I still think the Chester County Democratic Committee needs better, more effective leadership.

So I hope that clears it up for the misinformed. And this post is not the Beatles White Album and there are no secret messages if you read it backwards standing on one foot or something.
