Letter to the editor: Waiting patiently to have the last laughs
Share this post:
A lib, I never felt “owned” by Donald Trump 2016. Just resigned to enduring the longest, unfunniest Rodney Dangerfield movie ever. I also knew that a crash and burn would come with the first complex, extraordinary crisis, as intellect, not egotism, must devise the fix. Unfortunately for us, covid was that crisis.
Criminality, crassness and sedition no longer of concern, Trump 2024 has been gifted by The People. While another massive screwup is certain again (Checked his new BFFs and Cabinet nominee Brain Bust?), Dems regaining the House mid-term offers little solace.
I will seek relief, however, by taking pointers from the Make Amnesia Great Again crowd. I will read “from reliable sources” (online conspiracists) of millions of Kamala Harris votes trashed by Republican poll workers (80% of Dems quickly agree!). Proud of my still full head of hair, I’ll skip the ballcap but will sport a “Not My President” T-shirt as I “fight like hell” my way through the scanner and yawning security guard, and into the county courthouse. My Whiskey Rebellion flag — honoring the new drink of choice, waves proudly — not the flag of enslavers/launchers of a Civil War killing 700K. Bathroom break? Men’s room, not the lobby floor. Riot accomplished, the search for trashed ballots begins. Reusing Sen. Kim Ward’s Stolen Election Treasure Map, I’ll check the unchecked: where leprechauns stash their pots o’ gold and unicorns sharpen their horns.
No first laugh for the lib-owned in 2024, but the roar of last laughs is sure to be deafening!
