The American people again reject Republicans

Thanks Millennials!  Okay! Zoomers!

The 18-29 year olds turned out in the second highest numbers since the 1970's, only 2018's turnout was higher. Additionally, according to the Edison Research National Election Pool exit poll, the national youth vote choice for the U.S. House of Representatives was 63% for Democrats, 35% for Republicans.

Now, while we can stop and applaud the youth involvement we can lament that 27% is a high achievement.  If... the Millennials realized that by getting 50% turnout (just half) they would swamp, the apathetic and small Gen X and rapidly dying white boomers, they would set the agenda for the Nation.  

I believed the 2016 elections would be the last gasp of aging white boomer rage and I was right, in a sense, but, now for the 3rd straight elections (2018, 2020, 2022) Americans overwhelmingly rejected what Republicans and Rightwingers represent.  In fact, Americans consistently reject Rightwing policies and vote against Republicans; including the Presidency, which a Republican has only won the popular vote once in 32 years.  And as polling on all issues facing the American people show, the United States is a Center-Left Nation.  Unfortunately, the United States was set up to mimic a Republic and was more accurately perceived as an Oligarchy.  The Republicans have latched onto the built-in undemocratic elements to retain power and control.  

But, the GQP is a dead party. Or more accurately an Undead Party.  And the Zombie Corpse of the GQP stalks the Nation infecting and killing each state that they can and turning them likewise into Reactionary Ghouls further preying upon the remaining body politic of the Untied States.

The bloated zombie besetting the Land
But, this year the bloated vampire Trump saddled Republicans with his thralls in numerous states which as we see Americans rejected.  The best thing Trump could have done for his legacy was to die of covid in October 2020.  Because then rightwingers could have elevated him to the martyred prince.. the onec and future king.  His election would have been assured if not for villainous Dr Fauci killing him.  His string of "victories" would have gone down as the greatest in US history his legend would pass into myth.  Instead Trump had presided over 3 disastrous elections and is fatally damaging his aura by attacking the heir apparent, Florida Governor Ron DeathSentence.

Already we've seen some knives come out for Trump but, the jabs have been tepid and led by Republicans whom the rightwing base do not venerate,
"I think Trump's kind of a drag on our ticket.  I think Donald Trump gives us problems, politically. We lost the House, the Senate and the White House in two years when Trump was on the ballot, or in office." Paul Ryan.  Now, certainly Republicans would love to be able to pin everything on Trump and go back their slow-moving Coup.

The only way Republicans win elections is by voter apathy (which they cultivate), voter suppression  (which they create), and voter intimidation (which they stimulate).  But, even with these nefarious methods The Democrats are going to gain a Senate seat, several US House seats flipped, didn't lose any toss-up contests, and every district touching the Pacific Ocean is represented by a Democratic Rep, Democrats gained control of the Michigan statehouse, Democrats won Governors races throughout the Rustbelt and Southwest, and perhaps most importantly, abortion referendums in numerous states protected Women's rights.

But, there are no eternal victories and the struggle in 2022 isn't over yet.  Getting Senator Reverend R. Warnock re-elected (as the 51st Senator) is the last victory of this battle and the first step in the next one.

Birthers Vindicated! Barack Obama does not have the proper Bloodline to be President

"He was hip, he can dance, he can sing" - Republican Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, who while "struggling" on his $174,000 congressional salary, found time to explain why Young people voted for President Obama. I'm sure Duffy meant to say 'There goes Obama shuckin' and jivin' again!'
Right-Wingers firmly believe that "white" people elected President Obama and that if they can flame enough racial tensions "white" people will choose not to re-elect him.
"He’s our first African-American president. The country voted for him because of that. It made us feel good about [our]self," Republican Joe Walsh, worst Representative in Congress, told an Illinois Town Hall, the accepted dogma amongst right-wing bigots.
Birtherism is the crude form of this attack. Of course, Birthers attempted to gussy-up their rank bigotry with "scientific" analysis of the LFBC. However, since the wretches started with premise Barack Obama wasn't born in America no amount of data will dissuade them from their beliefs and all information must confirm their preconceived conclusion.

But, now back for Round 2 is Dinesh D'Souza, the reactionary dominionist, who wrote The Roots of Obama's Rage, a piece of conservative bilge designed to allow the more sophisticated right-wing bigots to bemoan President Obama's "Kenyan anti-colonial" attitude, as the viciously racist Newt Gingrich did upon the books' release.

Back in 2010, in my post Teabaggers Money to Be Had, I wrote:
Having written that Barack Obama is ruled by the african muslim ghost of his dead father to overthrow and kill whitey, Dinesh D'Souza is now making the rounds on Toxic Right Wing Radio to pimp his hoo hoo hoo chuckle chuckle chuckle hilariously titled "Roots" book. Glenn Beck had him on and somberly observed D'Souza's pulled straight from his ass article isn't "theory", "it's fact, just fact".

But, Glenn Beck, and the rest of the Conservative scum are receiving their orders from the Wealthy who want Republicans back into power so they can continue their unprecedented theft of Trillions from America. It's not a coincidence D'Souza's article appears in Forbes magazine.

Of course, I find it hilarious that the two Right Wing Champions of Barack Obama isn't American are Soviet Born and Raised Orly Taitz and a gentleman named Dinseh D'Souza.
Well, Joe Ricketts, owner of the Chicago Cubs and huge fan of having Rahm Emmanuel and the Government force Illinois residents to fork over $300 million dollars to fix his family's baseball stadium, declared, "Our Republic is under assault from our government," is part of a wealthy cadre of Plutocrats who are producing a movie based on D'Souzas work.

"Obama has a dream, a dream from his father, the sins of colonialism be set right and America be downsized."
Obama is the secret Kenyan, Marxist, Muslim bred and trained for One Purpose! To destroy America from within!

It's the highfalutin' form of Birtherism. He doesn't possess the Sangreal of the Founding Fathers. His blood is not pure. His blood is of those who Hate America and do not genuflect before American Exceptionalism.

Mitt Romney during his interview with conservative fluffer Mark Halperin, played this sinister bloodline meme,
"My whole life has been learning to lead, from my parents, to my education, to the experience I had in the private sector, to helping run the Olympics, and then of course helping guide a state.  Those experiences in totality have given me an understanding of how America works..."
Romney has the proper bloodline. He was born in the Purple. His education (shhh don't say Harvard) and pedigree are of The Right Stuff.

Personally, I don't think this is a winning strategy although it subtle and clever. I don't believe it will sway people to voting against Little Nikita Barack. But, from my perspective it appears to have no downside. We shall all see if the millennials are swayed by this cheap bigoted garbage to overthrow the Usurper and install Dauphin Willard Mitt, the Duke of Bain, House of Romney into his birthright.

Generation We (The Millennials)

In The Generation We Manifesto The Millennials declare in 2016 when they Reach Full Power they will realize their Goal of changing and saving America from the awful damage done by the Baby Boomers. And while they are correct in so much that the Boomers have brought the Nation nearly to it's Doom, My Brethren The GenXers being smaller en masse realize they are caught between the Two Groups with no hope of receiving the support of either.

For Us GenXers it's the equivalent of being caught between the Nazis and the Soviets. Because that's who the Baby Boomers and Millennials are! But, hopefully, the GenXers being quintessentially American can play the same role America played during World War 2 by aiding the winning side and emerging stronger for it while the two evil groups battle for Supremacy.
