This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Oh, sweet irony, mother of all humor. Trump forces are just being proactive and planning ahead but consider sending troops into American streets under the Insurrection Act on the first day Trump is reelected President. They’ve learned their lesson, and they will use troops next time under the same act that should have had them all hung by now. Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? Do you wanna know what I’ll do on my first day as President? Exactly.

A delusional old man bloviating bout what he gonna do when he’s king again. How does he do it? I’d be a nervous wreck facing over 90 federal charges, lawsuits, and state charges. I don’t care how rich you are, that sounds mega expensive. Buying a new Ferrari every week for a member of the bar. Then to get up and run a room full of drooling sycophants into a dribbling frenzy.

One Fuhrer, One People, One Republican Party! “Trump! Trump! Trump!” It’s a glimpse through the keyhole into an alternate universe. Where Trump didn’t do anything wrong, and January 6^th never happened. Where Donald Trump isn’t facing serious legal charges and financial ruin. “Trump! Trump! Trump!” they chanted though Rome be in flames and Camelot was only a legend. “Trump! Trump! Trump!”

The crowd had sat silent mostly, while most of the other Republican candidates spoke. Just so they could pour out their love for the former President and future convicted criminal. A place where time has stood still, and Trump is still their president. But the tide for Trump is going out and not coming in. These are Donald Rumsfeld’s “Dead enders” The last Waltz, Sunset at Camp Mar-A-Lago. The last of the true believers in the last lights of dusk.

Trump controls about 50% of the Republican Party. They can’t stop him from seizing the nomination, but it won’t help him win any election. Trump’s nomination ties the Party to the Zombie’s coattails.

“There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly, and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to . . . The Outer Limits.”

Republicans of all stripes, even prison will be tied to Trump in November. Now, since Trump is firmly in control of the Party, the non-Trumpers will have little voice. We will likely see the Kari Lake solution, where Republicans will vote for someone else or won’t vote at all, with disastrous results. The one thing America has made up its mind about is Donald Trump.

The two sides are set in stone and there is no chance Trump can woo the other half of the Party back into the fold. There is nothing Trump can do to win over independent voters. Trump offers only bluster and bravado and an idiot happy meal for his minions. Have you heard Trump’s plan for the economy? Joe Biden! If he were King, it never would have happened.

Two count them, two Republican candidates tried to speak common sense to the crowd at the “Free Dumb Summit” and were jeered and booed. One candidate was openly contemptuous of the Trump monkeys. “Yeah, yeah, yeah blow it out your bazzoo!” Does that sound like a Party that will unify in November?

You are either in the cult, or you’re not. Donald Trump took time out to rip on Ron DeSantis. Why? Who knows, just out of habit mainly. Soon, Trump won’t have Ron DeSantis to kick around anymore. The DeSantis  campaign is drying up and eleventh-hour endorsements mean nothing and won’t save him when the candidate is drying up. Ron hasn’t advanced one single percentage point on Trump on any front. But as Trump rips on Ronnie, Ronnie remains silent on Trump. Ronnie is too scared to take off the gloves. Fearing he might offend the cult when the cult has already made their views known.  

All who dare to run against Trump are sworn enemies of the cult!

Ronnie foolishly believes he can change their minds or maybe Trump will blow up like a meth lab left unattended. Then the Republican crowds will rally around him as their New king. Truth in advertising demands if the primary elections were held today, Ron DeSantis wouldn’t carry Florida. Aka, dead man walking. Good luck, being nominated without carrying Florida.

The applause-o-meter is clear the mob wants Trump. All the other candidates look small and mundane. The Trump voters just want candy and not green vegetables. Trying to speak common sense to this mob is pointless as has been so recently proven. You cannot reach them now or ever!

Only time the undertaker and the ballot box can ever clear the Republican ranks of the cult now. Zombie Trump will stagger into the election, carrying most of the states he carried in 2020 but with smaller margins. Trump will lose again and claim robbery again, but Republicans on the down ballot will suffer more. Their congressional majority will dissapear and their Christian Nationalist speaker will be gone. The man without a bank account.

Well sure, lots of grown men don’t have bank accounts. Homeless people, Drug dealers and hoodlums mainly.

The Republican Party is Trumpified and if you ain’t one of them “Get Out!” And they will take that advice in droves. The night they drove the old Republican Party down.
