The coming political battle is not an election. People will vote to be sure and assume that their vote will count. But the gravity of our situation goes beyond merely participating in the electoral process. We must refocus our thoughts toward regime change. Trump has treated the presidency as a means to not only enrich himself but also as a vehicle to attain a status of lifetime, undisputed rule. He desires the unfettered rule of Putin, Kim, Xi and yearns for their acceptance of him into their fraternity. We already know he has love for Kim and that he cleaves to Putin like a silly smitten schoolgirl. A puppet is only animated when the handler pulls the strings.

Trump has evolved into a crazed, maniacal joker. Unable to restrain his anger he shows much too much ranting, flailing at windmills, delusions of grandeur that the more sophisticated tyrants have learned to suppress in front of cameras. He is so dangerous now that anyone who dares to stand up to or get in the way of his plans is in serious jeopardy. He has eluded to the whistleblower as a traitor when in truth the traitor is Trump.

And then consider his enablers. McConnell, Barr, Graham and every quaking Republican currently holding office. Can we assume that IF Trump is thrown out that the dysfunction now firmly in place will somehow become healed? Paranoia is justified if someone is really out to get you. So we find ourselves in a constant state of unease and uncertainty. And we must wonder if things will ever be normal again and just that thought in itself is enough to cause alarm.

Thankfully the process has begun to reign in dear leader and snip his wings. Pelosi finally found the dog whistle that everyone has been listening to. We find ourselves in a state of shimergency: a catastrophic, historic shit storm about to rain down upon us. People should shelter in place. Those at the vortex should immediately don protective gear to prevent leaking and soiling. If Trump is successful at either imprisoning or executing all those engaged in the impeachment inquiry, he will have secured his desired status of dictator. And the idea that he will bestow both power and riches on his loyal sycophants only proves how completely delusional they are. Trump hates a kiss ass. His ego loves it, but his experience tells him they can’t be trusted and must be exterminated.

So, there it is in a nut’s shell. It’s both exhausting and infuriating, but the sad and frightening reality is that a large part of the population thinks Trump’s regime is perfect. A round of impeachment please… and hold the pardons. Thank you.
