Last edited Wed Nov 6, 2024, 12:01 PM - Edit history (2)
Will Rodgers once noted that there are three ways of learning: you can learn by thinking about something, you can learn by reading about something, and then there are those who have to pee on the electric fence. Well, here we are, and just so you know, the electric fence is being strung up as we speak, as you bask in the glory of the triumph of "Real America".
When will the peeing begin? Hard to say, but here are a few guesses:
Maybe it'll be when your wife dies from an ectopic pregnancy that can't be treated, because "Pro-Life" elected officials in your state - or maybe at the federal level - decided her life was meaningless, compared to the bundle of cells in her body. Or maybe it'll be when the prenatal death toll hits the tens - or hundreds of thousands per year from miscarriages and septic illegal abortions. But nah, it'll probably actually be when it impacts your life, not before.
Maybe it'll be when an 850 millibar hurricane smacks into Florida or Louisiana or Texas and relief is still weeks away weeks into the disaster, because it was cheap, fun and profitable to privatize federal emergency response agencies. Or maybe you live in a city that didn't vote for Shitstain, making emergency response to that area a low priority. Oh well!!
Maybe it'll be when your kid dies or is disabled thanks to whooping cough or measles, because vaccines BAD; maybe when your SS and Medicare go away, because tax cuts for Peter Thiel and Jamie Dimon were more important; maybe when the cost of just about fucking everything jumps 50-75% instantaneously because of tariffs - after all, to quote Orange Jesus, "Trade wars are good and easy to win".
But hey, whenever, you voted for this, and you'll be able to access the fully-charged fence starting at noon EST on January 20th.
There's another electric fence in this analogy as well. It surrounded Monowitz and Birkenau, and for those in the Sonderkommando Canada, if they couldn't handle the . . . . "work" they were assigned any longer, they could always walk over and grab the fence. I only hope it doesn't come to something even faintly resembling this, but if deporting 10 to 20 million people is already in the works, then you know that camps and fences are already in the mix. The rest is just a question of . . . voltage.
