In the Afterglow, Some Facts

IN THE AFTERGLOW of the big street party that the "No Kings" rallies were, (I attended two of them), I reflect. They both, they one in Joplin, MO., and the one in Fayetteville, Arkansas, had the feel of a high school or family reunion; lots of warmth and empathy among people with something important in common, only, with strangers. You have no history with these people,they are straingers, but soon become friends, as you have something very very important in common, bonding you, and that something is a horrible reality; a hatred of Donald J. Trump. I started hating him in 1974, it hasn't abated, and it only grows and swells by the day. In 1974 Trump was twenty seven, and was convicted of violating the fair Housing Act, twice. He only rented his father's apartments to cackers, none to African-Americans. He and his father were racists. And it goes on from there, to the present, when Trump is becoming more of a dictator by the day, like HItler did. It is, like, sooo toally obvious. I felt I was among frinds, good people. It reignited my faith in humanity, which, like that of many many people, often flags. And now for some facts. This, for conservative consumption. Climate change is real, and caused by us. The Bible was written by people, and people alone. Humans evolved from other priates, but not from monkeys. Joe Biden won the election of twenty twenty., not Donald Trump. Henceforth I shall accept no arguments form conservatives, of whom ther are many in my life. I associate with Trumpers each and every day. We get along, but, sugmerged, contained, we have an edgy relationship, all these Trumpers and I, at the small southern town senior center where I dine daily. Hell, I sing in the gospel group, and, if i do say so myself, am the second best singer in the group. They really need me. I frigging well hate gospel music. (Its too primitive, bloody, and sycophantic.) I don't broadcast that fact, but if anybody, including my evangelical Christian friends, asks me, yes, I will allow as that I hate Trump, consider Trump supporters morally and intellectually bankrupt traitors, think religion is primitve nonsense, that all of the several thousand religions on the planet deserve equal respect, and that people who reject evolutionary science are intellectual ostriches, heads beneath the ground. I have a heady feeling from attending two big and wild ass parties on the same day, screaming, chanting, protesting. I look forward to attending my Unitarian Universalist chruch tomorrow morning, going to the early discussion group, and hashing it out. Look, I will say, we all know that evangelical Christian Trump supports are heretics and unwitting traitors, and are daily revealing their true selves, which are less like Jesus and more like some deceitful demon, like Mephistophelese. Gay people are sinners, and perverts,say the conservatives, and should be persecuted or even put to death (Charlie Kirk)... Say what? Exuse me?... Climate change is a hoax, and bring back coal? Trump, and MAGA,say this. What the hell? The Christian faith is the only true religion,say they, and if one has not been saved by Jesus Christ one shall spend eternity in hell, suffering? You..have..got...to..be..kidding...the Bible is the Word of God? For Chrissake, gimme a break! Modern conservatism, like all conservatism in historoy, is rooted in tradition, maintenance of the status quo. Problem is, the status quo is insanity and nonsense, snd msut be, wil inevitably be...replaced..Every dominant conservative position is fantasy, nonsense. Conservatives are wrong on climate change, on religion, on politica and economics, on everything. And yes, Trum pis a tyrant, a madman, a modern American Hitler. And we the people msut confront and destroy him. And we will. We are winning, and today proved it. Each day is progress. Congratulations ANTIFA heroes, comrades, and patriots! I love you.
