I liberally add hot sauce to my homemade shrimp creole. I love my shrimp creole. It’s pretty damn good if I do say so myself, considering I am not Cajun and was formerly spicy food adverse and didn’t really start cooking until WAY into adulthood. You probably would love it too if you don’t mind eating something a dirty LIBERAL made.

That’s me I guess. Even though I have never claimed to be. You just say I am because I refuse to eat the Shit Sandwich ultra, crackpot conservatives are offering up. I guess being concerned about others, wanting to ensure my children and grandchildren have clean water, clean air, financial security, equal rights, affordable housing and non-bankruptcy inducing medical care is “of the devil” apparently…and inexplicably. Who are you people? Did y’all get dropped on your heads as babies to make such an asinine leap?

I also liberally pepper animated stories I tell with strategic obscenities, not because I’m “not imaginative enough” or “unintelligent” but because I’m seriously ANGRY. I’m furious about injustice, blatant racism, unethical behavior, sexism and the ever-loving glutinous money worship of those with more financial resources than they need or can expend in a lifetime. If you believe your “good book” then you can’t take it with you dickheads!

How does that sit with you? I’m speaking to the assholes in the back who snicker and sneer at my words while also crossing their fingers behind their backs in the hope no one will find out exactly what type of frauds they really are. I see you. I know what you are. Nothing about your current behavior is righteous or acceptable no matter how you edit your passages of lies. Can you spell hypocrite? And, denying being one when you obviously are doesn’t make it so.

A generous dash of empathy, a heaping helping of do unto others as you would have them do until you. Sounds great right? Yes, it does until you realize the same people using LIBERAL as a slur also seem to jump at calling anyone not like them unworthy, un-American, anti-Christian, un-this and anti-that. Just a general crap-stew of nastiness to cover the fact that the holy pedestal they claim to stand on is crumbling. The fall is coming and it will be spectacular. I can assure you of that. Fire and brimstone spectacular, if you believe in that kind of thing. Do. Unto. Others…

Your days are numbered, all you unkind, inflexible, unaware and unwilling to change of the world. If you refuse to grow and learn then the logical conclusion is that you will flounder and burn. To the ground. And, the only person to blame is you. It’s not my fault, liberals fault, independent women’s fault, the LGBTQ community’s fault or any other demographic you toss verbal firebombs at. All on you. Ever last derogatory drop.

Change happens no matter how loud you rage and chant against it and all the propaganda cranked out by Russian troll farms in St. Petersburg can’t make it 1950 again. White and repressive, the sound of bibles thumping on every corner. It didn’t smell good then and it definitely still reeks of bullshit now. Same garbage, different century, time to toss out the scenario of continuing insanity…if we haven’t accepted it by now, it’s never going to be seen as acceptable.

But, helping power hungry sycophants turn back the clock never was the true intention of these helpful (manipulative) trolls. They don’t want to give bigoted idiots what they want; a land restored back to “the way it was” when everyone not white or male was held down, in the place you decided they belonged. You get that don’t you? They just want to destroy our spirit, kill our curiosity, dull our senses and turn us against one another and crank up the volume on apathy so we don’t notice the rapid dismantling of our increasingly precarious democracy.

We allowed them to see how things really work behind the scenes and they are happily using our deep seated fears and insecurities against us. Psychology is real dummies! They know it…because they perfected mental manipulation techniques like true psychotic champs! There is great irony in knowing that the very same people who yell about safe spaces, feelings, insight and PSYCHOBABBLE are the most susceptible to mental manipulation despite claims they make to the contrary. You are. It’s as clear as day even if you can’t see it from behind the brim of your Chinese made MAGA hat.

We tried to help you see the light but no, you can’t follow advice from anyone who just might actually know their ass from a hole in the ground. One is meant to cause broken ankles or minds and the other gets kicked into action to keep the world from imploding. Is that simple enough to understand? The future of America depends on Liberal-bashers pulling their heads out of their asses to smell the air of reason, compassion and common sense.

Heaven help us…
