The US Election is less than 24 hours old and I've already had my first knock-down drag-out.
You see, I publicly cursed every one who put that rapist in office. And some people took that to mean I cursed people of differing political opinions. Let me spell this out for the morally outrage white cis-males in the audience: I cursed the people who put a fascist-leaning rapist in office. I cursed a man who demeaned his own daughters, who belittles any woman who dares stand up to him. The Republican party, who has rested on its laurels since the election of Ronald Regan, failed not just every American who took pride in their party, who genuinely cherished the values that party was supposed to espouse, they amped up the mindset that anyone who did not toe that party line was un-American and a threat to the peace, the American way of life (as if there is only one),
the financial and morale dominance of the Right(eous)--and they did nothing. Only a handful dared stir out of their safe, secure strongholds to do their jobs and speak for the American people. And those of you who voted third party, first, ograts on not knowing how that works. Second. You are not exempt. You are not absolved. You split the check and you will pay your share.
We prize the Nine Noble Virtues, those of Courage, Discipline, Fidelity, Honor, Hospitality, Self-Reliance, Industriousness, Truth, Perserverance. While I am staunchly against holding people of different faiths to the values, restrictions, and obligations of another faith, I hold that the current crop of Republlicans are severely lacking in all save Perserverance--or perhaps it's just persistence, like that displayed by a spoilt child. The P-E displays none of those virtues, in any quantity whatsoever. Certainly not Truth, Honor, or (judging by his Twitter account) Discipline.
The epitome of Gluttony, Sloth, and Lust now claims the Oval Office. Christians laugh at me when I say this. As if, because my fath does not spell out concrete sins, because we strive for Virtue and Right Action, we can’t recognize the Mortal Sins. Bah!
I don’t believe in the End Times as taught...but we are in for a very, Very Rough Ride.
