Impeachment!
November 16, 2019
AMERICA is a wasteland of political junkies.
Every morning, or as often as possible, Democrats inject hatred of Trump into their veins. Ooh! Aah! Without that, they wouldn’t feel alive. Republicans toss needles to the ground after a fresh dose of hatred of Trump haters.
The impeachment effort is perfect for all involved. It gets everybody high.
Trump, the crude and blasphemous egomaniac who didn’t make things new, was losing support from his base. The impeachment process has possibly saved him for another term. Now he’s anti-establishment again!
As for Democrats, they are tantalizingly close to maximum revenge. The street price of a high hasn’t been this low in years.
Despite all this sectarian fervor, the difference between the country we would get with a Democrat and the country we would get with a Republican is very small. I know a lot of others have said this and it seems hard to believe, but it’s true. The cards are stacked against all of us. No matter who wins, millions of children will still go to schools where they are taught to be political junkies rather than to think. The economy will still be based on debt. We will be just as materialistic and conformist, utterly frightened by the prospect of being different or “kooky.” Our elections will still be controlled. We will have big government and high immigration and the abortion industry and fake news and a total absence of leisure and war and drag queens at the library either way.
The impeachment is theater, something to watch and to feed the cravings of addicts. It’s drugs, not democracy.
So what can you do?
You can carry your cross instead of trying to escape it.

A clown like Trump is the personification of “leadership” in Clown World Hell. He’ll be elected to a second term, I’m betting.

I bet he will too. And then after devoting so much emotional energy to getting him elected, Republicans will be too sapped to notice he hasn’t done anything for them.
