This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

The New Hampshire results are in, and it is official. A Fox News poll finds Republicans dislike Trumpers and Trumpers dislike, the mamby pamby RINO scum sucking Republicans, unwilling to offer their full-throated support for Der Fuhrer. 35% of N.H. Republicans say they will not vote for Trump under any circumstances. A like number of Trump supporters feel the same way about Nikki Haley. Loggerheads! Less filling! Tastes great!

The workings of fascism require everyone outside the circle to be assumed to be the enemy of everyone inside the circle. The cult took a strong dislike to Ron DeSantis just for his deceitful act of daring to run for president against Donald Trump. How dare you? You’ve got a lot of nerve running against him like that!

Republicans despise Mike Pence for the act of simply following the law and refusing (On the advice of counsel) to participate in a heinous crime. And for that transgression he’s out of the Party on his ass! Booed off the hometown stage just for showing his face. “Follow the law will ya! We’ll teach you! Hang Mike Pence!” Illustrating just how far around the bend the Republican Party has descended into an “Alice Through the Looking Glass” fantasy existence. Strawberry Fields, nothing is real.

Nearly everyone in the entire human population who has ever had relations with Trump business, personal or otherwise. Eventually comes away with a pronounced opinion that Donald Trump is a crooked conman who’d steal the pennies off a dead widow’s eyes. A man with little control over any of his appetites. A man who knows the truth only as a stranger does. A fiend willing and capable of almost anything. A soul without moral restraint of any kind.

It’s nearly unanimous, as everyone, everyone has said the same thing about their time in the Trump Administration. It was bedlam, chaos and pandemonium that has now permanently checkered and or scared their formerly bright career prospects forever. A near endless list of Trump associates and appointees ending up on the short end of the stick. Then thrown in the fire as kindling to keep the boss warm for a second.

And as sure as you’re hired, one day you are bound to be fired. You might be requested to perform duties not listed in your employee handbook. Move boxes around the house maybe or retrieve security tapes or maybe even fly to the exotic Ukraine and try to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. And I could march this whole unholy unclean mob of miscreants down Fifth Ave. In a Macy’s style parade with banners, balloons and brass bands and could not change one Trumper’s slumbering mind.

Hundreds and hundreds of witnesses, from shop girls to international banking executives, all singing the same song. Former Republican Senators and former Republican house members and even highly placed Trump cabinet officials all with the same Donald Trump experience. Trump’s own cabinet talked about using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. Not Democrats, not the Justice Department, Trump’s own staff!

Private meetings with Russians and said to have the attention span of a squirrel on crack. And that was back in the good ole days, back before the latest Trump mental competency whispers. (Are you, my Mommy?) Anyone notice who is missing? “Daddy Warbucks is in trouble! Let’s beat it out of here!” Yes, Trump’s loving children are all long gone, and his future ex-wife rides in a separate car. Who knows, maybe Don just smells bad?

It is a bad sign though, like when she won’t hold your hand in public. She wants her own car today and sounds like she’ll want her own house tomorrow. Something nice and comfortable, without room for you in it. “We need talk!” Uh oh, the dreaded, “We need to talk.” Every man knows what that means. It means you won’t be watching the football game in peace tonight.

35% of Republicans in New Hampshire aren’t drinking the Kool aid anymore. You must do as you are told! The cult demands it! Speak against Scientology and watch what happens to you. Speak against Trump and ditto. Vivek Ramaswamy quit the race and literally slithered on all fours immediately over to endorse Donald Trump while licking Trump’s boots. Wagging his lizard tail nervously while piddling on the floor. “Forgive me!” Ron DeSantis just phoned it in, quitting the race while endorsing Trump.

The statistical likelihood that all the criminal charges against Donald Trump being false is mind boggling. The likelihood that all those things that all those people have said about working with Donald Trump not being true is beyond calculation. The mental density required to believe Donald Trump is some sort of political savant is astounding. Yet, they believe, and you can’t convince them otherwise.

We see a bumbling stumbling mean spirited crooked fat man with absurd yellow hair in comical orange face make up trying to escape jail time. They see a giant and a political mastermind, trying to save the world from spooks with his talent for being obtuse and quite obnoxious. He says outrageous things and that’s good enough! He triggers Liberals!

Living in a non-reality cult bubble, ignoring facts and court opinions that don’t fit the cult’s metrics or preconceived yardstick. It’s all False News! It’s all crooked judges and Democrats! It’s George Soros and the crooked lying Liberal media out to get Donald Trump! Living as a child lives unaware and unquestioning and believing whatever they are told absolutely.

Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?” ― Lewis Carroll
