The Pit and the Pendulum — Part Deux

‘It wasn’t about me.”

— Donald Trump

Okay, those of us who now think twice about leaving the house — not because there really are roving bands of criminals taking over Manhattan, or even SoHo (they’re not) — and not about drivers on the way to New Jersey who exit their cars to attack pedestrians annoyed that they can’t cross the street unmolested;

And, it’s wasn’t about the masked men who never knew the Lone Ranger because they weren’t old enough to remember him or Clarabel; those adults, so-called, who stop people on the street and disappear pedestrians — without indentifying themselves, showing badges, or explaining who they are; who have spawned a whole new class of lookalike ACTUAL criminals who’ve started to emulate the National Guard and ICE — the ersatz secret police — because it works;

Or, because Journalists now need permission to write articles afraid that they’ll be killed or litigated to death even if they do keep their jobs or figure out how to survive (as I have had to do) — assuming they don’t work for the new Right Wing T.V. stations like the new Ellison/CBS, a poor second to Fox nowadays, run by a fake con artist journalist who sold her opinion sheet to the fascists for $163 million;

Or, attending schools that pander to the Great White Gold One whose lack of taste, vulgarity and fealty to McCarthy’s supernova Roy Cohn and that vacuous misogynistic, homophobic, racist band of incels posing as Christians called The Heritage Group — a collection of old white men with perpetual rape fantasies;

So, aside from trying to transform America into a poorer version of the old Sovet Union and starving people like North Korea so that his friends enrich his family and their Billionaire supporters — he and they are people who have expanded their thievery from crypto bribes to real estate deals built on genocide.

But the vote wasn’t about that.
