As I start to write this I hear a voice,
“Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, uhh, won’t get fooled again!”
The famous words of George W. Bush ring in my head for two reasons. First, I love the Who, (the band), not the corrupted World Health Organization (a future topic for one of my articles, for sure). And my second reason I’m channeling the Who, we are such fools! Another set of lyrics now pops into my head, “It took me sooo long to find out, I found out.” (The Beatles)
I now need a valet I have so much to unpack here! ‘We’ was not meant to insult you, but more to include me and the famous “We” from our Constitution. “We” have gotten fooled so many times we are card-carrying members of the “Charlie Brown Football Kicking Association”! “We” watched “Lucy” standing up the football and coaxing us to come and kick it. “I won’t pull it away this time ‘Charlie Brown’!” And just as in the Charles Schultz cartoon every time Lucy ‘palms the pigskin’ and Charlie Brown goes head over heels swinging his foot at thin air!
Roughly paraphrased,
‘If in your youth you aren’t a liberal, you have no heart. If as an adult you’re not a conservative, you have no brain’.
I was ‘brainless’ until 2016. I believed we were ready to send that football into outer space each and every election. And for some unfathomable reason we always missed.
My first ‘two-by-four in the head’ moment came when I helped elect the first black president. I hung on his every word. He will unite us all! Again, I teed up on the football. He didn’t have enough time in just four-short-years to get there, so I gave him four more! Things got way worse, not better and at the end of his second term he was more divisive and exclusionary than his first!
No more attempts at kicking that football. It was not his race that I blamed, as I can’t wait to see the first black conservative in the White House, with a little luck we may have one in 2024! It was Obama’s party I blamed. This is where I looked closer at the party I supported for way too long!
I want to believe they have not always been evil, that once they were pure of heart, but history makes that exceedingly difficult! But the Democrat party is a card-carrying-member of “Lucy’s ‘How to jerk away the football every time and still have Charlie Brown ready to try again’ Association”.
Did you ever see the movie “The Truman Show”? I feel we are all in a planetary Truman show. We are being played. this requires repeating.
We are being played.
Let’s look at historically what has brought us to this Mad Max moment. Just think back to the first Mad Max movie you watched. If it was just released and you are old enough it was 1979! If you even saw one in 1989, or as late as 1999 we enjoyed the entertainment, but that could never happen here! Crazy people roaming the streets, with malice in their minds, and no cops to stop them?
You mean like the infamous “Summer of Love” in Portland? Building and cars were blazing with no police by the order of the mayor. Full police precincts burned to the ground and no police allowed to stop it! Mom & pop stores destroyed ruining livelihoods and no cops allowed. This was more like a RoboCop movie! You mean like laws that allow a violent assault criminal back out on the streets with no way of tracking them as many “blue cities’ do today?
How did we get here today? That is the thirty-trillion-dollar question! How did we get here today? Way too many of us failed to see the signs. It wasn’t the first Charlie Brown football jerked away but we have to start somewhere. After the Civil War there were people afraid of the newly freed black folks. So, a political party came ‘to the rescue’!
Who were these ‘gallant souls’? Why of course they were the Democrat party! Notice I never say the Democrat(ic) party? That’s for two reasons. One, I am not sure how democratic the core Democrats really are. And two, they never say the Republicanic party! So when you use the ‘ic’ as a suffix to their party you just promote the problem!
What did the Democrats do to protect white people from black people? They came up with the KKK! Wow! How many knew that? By today’s rewritten history surely it was those scroungy Republicans that did that? Nope it was the Democrats! But they weren’t done! Yeah, but that was just a fluke, everyone knows that!
About a hundred years later, the Southern Democrats felt threatened by an upcoming race that was making inroads, gaining work experience, and education. Those Democrats called it being ‘uppity’ and they wanted it to stop! So, they reorganized the Klan and started burning crosses on black folk’s lawns! Again, that wasn’t Republicans? Nope, Democrats.
Where were the Republicans while all this inhuman treatment was goin’ on? Well, back before the Civil War, the Republicans put their lives on the line to smuggle slaves away to free states. Many Republicans were caught and killed for trying to help the slaves. And when the Southern Democrats were rebuilding the KKK the Republicans were exposing them and demanding justice for the oppressed.
Now this is where the story gets weird. There really was an oppressed race. But somehow the oppressors magically became the saviors? One party had no axe to grind with races. They believed in the Constitution, and a level playing field. They did not like distinguishing racial differences and went on with the idea that hard work and opportunity should be enough.
That left a hole that the other party quickly filled. By pointing out differences and setting up an ‘us and them’ policy, they convinced the ‘us’ (Democrats including 95% of the black folks) and I was one of them, (a Democrat, but not black) that forgot, or really never knew that the Republicans were raceless, capitalistic Constitutionists.
Our skin has no built-in thermometer, it can only judge if it becomes hotter or colder. I found out when I came in from 20 below temps in Denver once and poured ice-cold tap water onto my palms. Those almost frozen hands thought it was hot water! That same effect happens when we compare a party that ignores racial differences and one that points them out. The one that is looking at all the things that make us different must be the most concerned, right?
We the people, thought that for way too many years, but it is our ‘wall’ in the ‘Truman Show’. We thought we were making a difference but if we sail out into the vast ocean we surprisingly bump into a ‘psych-wall’! We were all part of a giant, orchestrated TV show! Once you see it, you can never ‘un-see’ it!
It is really the same Democrat party that built the KKK! Margaret Sanger, the cofounder of Planned Parenthood is quoted as saying, “the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.” Even her supporters begrudgingly admit she believed that eugenics was the way forward! Who has nurtured Planned Parenthood, and the rights to stop pregnancies even to go as far as enact laws to arrest, fine and incarcerate anyone simply standing on the other side of the street from one of Margaret Sanger’s blessed buildings? Ya guessed it! The Democrats.
So where have they changed? When did the Democrats really start doing anything for black people. They pretend to try. They pass laws with lovely names that only increase division. Every election, they prop the football back up and with billions of dollars convince the low-information voters, just one more time and we will make you equal!
They have no intention of ever making black folks equal. That party never has. On a flight Lyndon Banes Johnson was proposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to two governors, Ronald M. McMillan (an Air Force One steward at the time) overheard LBJ say;
“I’ll have those (n-word)s voting Democrat for the next two hundred years“
LBJ as he was known refused to call his black chauffeur by his name, preferring the (n-word), boy, and chief! He was also alleged to say to his chauffeur:
“As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So, no matter what you are called, (n-word), you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.“
I am going to have to take a shower after reading quotes alleged from our 36th President! This one is telling:
“These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again.”
“…we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.” This is the secret mantra of the Democrat party. It has not changed. Today they just use blacks as a way of getting re-elected, and spending money targeted to increase power within the party and make a lot of those D.C. elites (can you say Nancy Pelosi?) way richer than when they came to the Capitol building!
Nancy earns just under 200K a year and she has suckled the D.C. teat for 28 years earning a whopping 5.4-million-dollars! but she now has grown her 5 mil almost 40 times bigger! She is now worth 196-million-dollars! Now you know why Nancy Pelosi bows to the black voter wearing a pretentious ceremonial Kente Cloth! Bow to the almighty buck!
And of course, anyone ready to point all this out can’t be allowed to gain power, that’s why the most coordinated gang of Democrat LBJ’s (Lawmakers, Bad-prosecutors, and Judges) have descended on Donald Trump! Trump is not a Republican, not really. He hijacked the Republican party! I and 80-some-odd-million of my best friends are glad he did!
You see the grime of the Democrats rubbed off on most of the Republicans and they all just wanted to build wealth, power and lifetime careers at our expense. The Dems drew up the plans and many Republicans happily jumped into the swamp! After all, in Washington D.C. compromise is the name of the game! So, they ‘compromised’ their integrity, and amplified their wealth, power and careers!
As of 2020 over half the members of Congress are millionaires! It’s like Oprah was there; “You get a million, and you get a million! Stay long enough and play the game, and you’ll all get a million!” I wish I could get 200K a year, live on air and invest all of my salary into way better deals than Warren Buffett! The elites in Congress somehow perennially far outperform the smartest investors on Wall Street! How is that possible, ‘We the people” asks? And they say, “Nothing to see here! move along..”
Trump is not a saint, but he seems like one compared to the D.C. swamp! Trump effectively refused his presidential salary each of the four years he was in office! By law he was not allowed to give it back, so he donated that amount to worthy charities each year. What a stupid thing for a ‘crook’ to do! Trump was such a ‘racist’ that he called a meeting of all black leaders to discuss real ways to help faltering schools, and businesses. Again, the stupidest racist ever!
Removing the ‘brakes’ from industry allowed a new high in black, female, and Hispanic employment. All the while the swamp was firing howitzers at him! Not many could stay so focused on conservative values while being accused of being a russian spy, a rapist, a traitor, and getting impeached twice! It took an insidious bioweapon from China to knock him off his game!
If you are still having trouble believing how evil the Democrat elites are, just watch what they support; Anything that creates victims! At least since LBJ in the late 70’s the Democrat party is powered by victims! If the Democrat party was a ‘steam locomotive’, the victims are the ‘coal’. Want proof? Just look at their platform.
They have rewritten the book on mental illness and offered all those former ‘patients’ with qualified illnesses, victimhood!
We think you should go into a girls’ restroom if you feel like a girl, even if you are a guy!
We think you no longer have a complex, and you can play in girls’ sports if you are a guy that wants to be a girl!
Be honest, what would you have thought just 15 years ago?
Where else can we nurture victims? How about building and encouraging ‘black-only’ dorms in colleges? If we separate, they can’t congregate! (…and get to know other races.) We are working on keeping the birth rate down for blacks (almost 10% less than Hispanics) and with our push toward abortions and Planned Parenthood we expect more progress there.
But now since we have done so well curtailing their population, we desperately need more victims and voters. Where can we get victims? Certainly not from the million new immigrants being legally processed into the U.S. each year, as they want to work, have skills, and check all the boxes for conservatives!
Let’s stop building any wall, tie the hands of border agents, effectively turning them into ticket takers at the movie theater and bum-rush three or four million unfortunate souls from all over the world up through our southern border!
We already flew in another 320,000 secretly!

In fine LBJ style, let’s buy their votes ‘for the next 200 years’ by giving them mobile phones, flying them to their favorite city, putting them up in four-star hotels, feeding them daily and offering them the first jobs.
And the best part is when the Republicans complain that we are taking taxpayers money, they will look heartless, and assure more voters come our way! A Dem win-win!
Quite a nasty playbook those Dems have, huh? They have lost many ‘gays’ and Hispanics that no longer feel they are victims. In fact, one such gay made a name for himself by starting the #walkaway movement! Brandon Straka, a hairstylist from New York City noticed how little the Democrats were doing and how deaf they were to opposing views. Soon a half-a-million followers joined Brandon’s #walkaway, ‘walking away from the Democrats’ and most into the Republican party and if they follow Brandon, will be Trump voters!
Black males have also started a trend to walk away from LBJ’s ‘two-hundred-year contract’. Many say, “At least you know what you’re getting, and he has made a better opportunity for all of us.”
That jaded description is due to overwhelming willingness by the dinosaur press to paint Donald a racist. Remember they all, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, went with the narrative of ‘Russian collusion’ with no substantiating facts! I know they all had none, there was none to be had! We all know that now, except for the low-information voters, they only heard what the dinosaurs pumped out for six or seven years!
The only real fix to our Mad Max/RoboCop current day scenario is stop importing and creating victims! The one thing I can be sure of is Donald J. Trump will work his butt off to end victimhood and that scares those evil Democrat elites to their rotting core.
I tried to package the long-term accusations and historical truths in a succinct digestible manner. It is my attempt at proving the kettle is really black to all tea drinkers.
Home run Mark...the sheer expanse of froward misprision from that particular political spectrum makes it difficult for one to mentally process. Further the complexities along with years of indoctrination put understanding beyond the compacity of most voters 🤐☹🙈🙉🙊
