This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Another Trump day, another Trump fiasco. This fiasco is different because it’s in a state election with a state candidate. Yet the fallout and the shrapnel will reach the Presidential race. For once, Donald Trump is innocent, yet will be convicted by association. The nutball from North Carolina, the “Black Nazi.” An amazing cornucopia of extreme human stupidity. The very idea of an African American wanting to be a part of an organization which would kill him on the spot for drinking from the wrong water fountain. With no more concern for his humanity than stepping on a bug. [See: Jesse Owens]

Is there even a name for this illness? Mark Robinson thinks maybe we should bring back slavery. And he also thinks maybe he’d buy a couple of them. Maybe because he haunts porn sites and Ashley Madison and it’s the only way he could get a date. Wow, how this nation has sure progressed. From Clarence Thomas’s pubic hair to Mark Robinson’s…All of this!

Sex! Twisted sex! For a good time, call. I’ll fuck anybody call me at 000-0000! Extremists and Nazis welcome! Bizarre foul unhinged rantings totally disparaging Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. It’s easy to see how the White good ole boys in North Carolina sat around the country club and decided they could use a man like Mark Robinson. The good old fashioned Judas goat. But it’s just difficult to understand how Mr. Robinson ever got this far while being this dumb.

Mark Robinson is like an amateur Donald Trump. Just spewing out bullshit and nonsense for shock value. A Jeopardy category of things uneducated rednecks say. Friend of the poorly educated, the dim witted and the dain bramaged. You could almost see this coming as Robinson is the proverbial loose cannon. A slave to his own impulses of the moment. I bet he has a porn collection that would knock your socks off!  

But watch! As the shit rolls uphill this time. You don’t see that every day! The fallout in this delicate swing state could seal Donald Trump’s fate in the Tar heel state. Donald Trump says things Nazis say and Donald Trump’s preferred candidate for Governor claims to be one! It colors the picture like cream in your coffee, like the drapes matching the carpets.

But it points to the jaundiced political divide. To think, Mark Robison somehow defeated perfectly good candidates to achieve elected office. Robinson proves the voters of North Carolina would literally elect anybody if they have an (R) beside their name. An insane hate monger with deep seated psycho sexual issues of identity. But perhaps now, that the shit has hit the proverbial fan the dynamics of the race have changed somewhat.

Mr. Robinson is being pressured from inside by the state Republican Party and from the outside by national Party to “Suspend” his campaign. But when they say, suspend what they really mean is to end his campaign. Because Mr. Robinson’s big mouth is hurting Donald Trump’s bottom line.

Sex is a verboten subject in the Southern Baptist South. Strike One! That’s the reason why Southern Baptists don’t dance. They’re afraid people will think they’re having sex standing up. But a Black man desirous of anonymous sex in the South? That stirs up some mighty ugly racial stereotypes involving White girls. Strike TWO! Why couldn’t he just steal something? That would be a hell of a lot easier to defend. But porn sites and Ashley Madison? “My word!”

The more Mr. Robinson tries to deny his affiliations the guiltier he looks. “It wasn’t me! It was someone else with the exact same name and email address!” Rumors of lurid sex damning Robinson while the details remain hidden. The public will probably think worse of him than the actual facts would show. Sex is verboten! The idea of sex is verboten. Topics the polite and gentile don’t discuss publicly. You know, Billy Joe McAlister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. Some subjects just can’t be discussed in the South, outside of Atlanta.

It’s because North Carolina is critical to an ever-tenuous Trump road map. Mr. Robinson is cancelled effective immediately, like a show on the CW. Cut the lights and take down the scenery. Better get your stuff out of the trailer; it’s been reassigned.

Donald Trump cannot afford to lose North Carolina especially over some stupid shit as this. Voter turnout is everything and if local Republicans don’t like the local candidate, history shows they will likely stay home. State Party officials are caught between their own petards. The mail-in ballots are set to go out in the mail with Robinson’s name on them. The Party can appoint another shill at will, but the confusion and anger could mean the sky will fall.

Robinson’s campaign events for Thursday have been cancelled. On orders from the big boss, I bet. A planned campaign event with Mark Robinson and J.D. Vance has also been cancelled, as if it never existed.

What to do, what to do? Mr. Robinson claims on X,  it’s the media out to get him. CBS 17 reports Mr. Robinson’s office in the state executive building has been cleaned out. With a fine-tooth comb and 409, I bet. It’s unclear if Robinson was aware his office had been emptied. Perhaps they were going to tell him when they handed him his resignation speech. But Mr. Robinson is the legal Republican Lieutenant Governor in North Carolina till at least until January, unless they decide to get rid of him sooner.

Isn’t it peculiar how the Nazi sympathizer is quickly devoured by the system he claimed to love. “Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges?” You’re out of here Bubba, like you never was!
