The inbRED Wave

This is the Blue Damselfish, sometimes referred to as the Blue Dam. Actually, I might be the only one to refer to it that way, but only because my Google search for a Blue Dam came up empty.

Why would I want to talk about a Blue Dam? Well, it was on full display at last week's trepidatious election. And the Blue Dam prevented this country from going down the toilet due to a fictional Red Wave.

I was sure the Red Wave, or even the Red Tsunami, was going to happen, mostly because the media and many pollsters told us it was going to happen. Moreover, the precedent had been set, many times over, for the opposing party to sweep into Congress in the two years following a victory by their opposition. 

It happened to Clinton.

It happened to Bush.

It happened to Obama.

And it happened to Captain Fuckknuckle.

At this writing, the House and Senate majorities are still up for grabs (UPDATE: The Senate is Blue). But the gubernatorial candidates picked by our failed traitorous, Insurrection-inciting past POTUS, went down to defeat. In many ways this was more important than Congress, because it is the governors who sign the state certifications of presidential electoral votes. 

Besides, what has Congress ever done, except give themselves pay raises, trade on insider information and endlessly fund raise for political parties (both D & R) that are only in it to enrich themselves.

Nevertheless, by Wednesday morning, we -- meaning those capable of critical thinking -- were quite relieved. In other words, it wasn't the Libs that got owned, it was misguided the Red Hats who, for reasons unknown, still follow in the shit-on-the heels footsteps of an America-hating, narcissist with the intellectual firepower of a headless turkey. 

More importantly, and I've got my fingers crossed on this, we are finally starting to see the collapse of rubber stamp party support of the orange haired buffoon.

With the ascent of hard-hearted Ron DeSanctimonious, Republican strategists and GOP politicians are abandoning ship and boarding their political lifeboats. 

Think about that.

It wasn't his shameful embrace of Putin and the hopes of building a Trump Tower in Moscow that gave them pause.

It wasn't him paying $130,000 to a porn star to sit on his mushroom dick, while his wife was nursing his newborn, that gave them pause.

It wasn't him adding $7.8 trillion to our national debt, with NOTHING, to show for it, that gave them pause.

It wasn't him ignoring COVID and leaning into a microphone and declaring, "I take no responsibility," that gave them pause.

It wasn't him blackmailing Ukraine to initiate a false investigation on Hunter Biden that gave them pause.

It wasn't refusing to accept the 2020 election results and claim (without a shred of evidence) that it was stolen, that gave them pause.

It wasn't his failure to conduct the peaceful transfer of power that gave them pause.

It wasn't his incitement of a violent Insurrection that gave them pause.

It wasn't his relentless attacks on the pillars of American democracy and the subsequent erosion of our electoral system that gave them pause.

It wasn't even the discovery of Top Secret Classified documents at his shabby, mold-infested country club garage that gave them pause.

It was his failure to help Republicans grab even more power so they would have America in their greedy, grubby, craven hands that finally...finally gave them pause.

Fuck the GOP!!
