Another one bites the dust. As Ken Buck Republican from Colorado announced he will leave Congress at the end of the week. Buck had already announced his retirement, but this is sort of an extra- Fuck you! Not unlike Kevin McCarthy, Buck is being purged. He can’t do anything to stop them, but he can make an already paper-thin margin just that much thinner.
How angry is Buck? He hints that there are others. Other Republican Congress critters ready to walk away before kowtowing before Donald Trump’s monkey house. So how many is that now? Kinzinger and Cheney, McCarthy, Ken Buck, any others? And Katie Britt is a rising star in their Party, any questions? Buck has been frustrated by impeach-o-rama in the Monkey house. Republican Monkey Islanders throwing their turds at each other rather than trying to accomplish something productive.
Remember? The house Republicans were all in a hot sweat to open an impeachment investigation against Joe Biden. Then the FBI arrested their star witness for lying and working for Russia. “Poof!” Quick, somebody change the subject! Douse the lights! Who? What impeachment inquiry?
But if we watch the security video, we can clearly see all of these Republicans are headed for the exits. They’re not just unhappy, they’re “I’ll fucking quit today” unhappy. There’s a lot of hard feelings and refused exit interviews with HR. A lot of references to parentage, mothers, and sex. The Trump party purging out the Republicans.
Nikki Haley had just won her second primary and immediately dropped out of the race. She was the proof of the pudding. A sizable portion of the Republican electorate would vote for literally ANYBODY, who wasn’t Donald Trump. Nikki Haley was that generic ANYBODY! Provided they didn’t have two heads, drool or pick their nose on stage. Nikki having mastered those challenges was now beginning to illustrate the principle.
So obviously, the best way for authoritarian rule to prosper is to stifle open debate. “Repeat after me; I really love Donald Trump and he’s going to win in November!” Now write it one hundred times on the blackboard. Propagandized Trumpers sleepwalking into the trenches. “Everybody loves Trump, everybody!”
The pundits ask, “Where will the Haley voters go now?” In the spirit of their forefathers, they will do what Americans dissatisfied with their Party’s choice have always done. They will go home! They will place their buttocks in their Lazy Boy chairs and hunt for the remote control.
Those Haley voters spoil the punch and spoil the delusion that everyone is united. All in one accord. Get on board! Those Haley voters will make the difference and rather than woo them. The Trump Party will choose to marginalize them and just pretend they aren’t really there. Why do think they call it a cult? Unpleasant facts can be easily dispensed with. Just the news that fits Winston!
Without the Haley voters, Trump will lose every single swing state and thus leave the world stage repudiated. This is it, after election day this time around Trump turns back into a pumpkin. Four more years before an 81-year-old Donald Trump can run again face planting in his oatmeal. Mumbling about his wealth while standing in front of his popup tent in the park by the restrooms.
Republican Speaker of the house Mike What’s his name says, “Duh, what?” Blindsided by Buck’s sudden departure, cause everybody loves Donald Trump! Everybody! Mike says he doesn’t know what has made Buck so unhappy and looks forward to speaking with him. The same way a rooster speaks to the chickens in the barnyard. Hence Buck’s, I’m leaving at the end of the week. Screw you Poindexter! I’m outta here!
Liz Cheney plays the long game naming herself as the titular head of the Republican Party in absentia. Welcome to our new member Ken Buck! Like Fahrenheit 451, a weird group of outcasts living at the end of the railroad tracks and reading books and stuff. “I’m “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank by Erma Bombeck! And he’s “How to Fix your 19” inch Emerson Color TV.”
On that fateful day when the Trump Kamikaze mission finally crashes into election day and scatters. It’s all over and Trump will have zero power inside the Republican Party. There is no Savior 2 waiting in the wings, so the Party will be left empty handed. And the Trump loyalists inside the Party will become like goldfish swimming among the piranhas. You see, on that day reality meets the fantasy.
And anyone can tell you after looking at life by the shadows of the fire light on a cave wall how troubling those full color images can be. But they said, “Everybody!” And he lost! How? How could this have happened?
A cult living inside the funk of their own delusion and unable to see the truth. Driving out all who won’t follow the delusion. Everybody loves Trump! Sure, Everybody! But depending on the Zip code according to the Nikki Haley Principle anywhere from 30 to 50 +% of Republican voters wanted somebody else but are getting Donald Trump. “Everybody loves Trump, everybody!”
