It happened because people are dumb. They think he’s bringing 2016-2020 prices with him. He’s not. There was dumb in the Harris campaign approach too, but that would add too much for one post. I voted for her, but even so.

And remember what’s on the slash list: social security and Medicare. How many of you 45+ people have a retirement? Anything you start now won’t be enough without the benefit of social security. Which you should get because you’ve been buying into it your entire work life.

And remember Elon? The guy said well have to learn to tighten our belts for a while. Endure some hardship. Like we haven’t been doing that already. I wonder if unions will be federally legal after he’s done.

Preexisting conditions anyone? You’re well and truly fucked.

Small business? Well. That’s not happening.

Wanna buy a house? Yea that’s still not happening either.

Rent going down? Again. No.

The list goes on.

…

My partner last night before he went to bed in a Benadryl induced sleep: I’m going to be spending more time in the woods if he wins. No you’re not. You’re going to be working 60hrs a week to keep up and so am I.

Which will probably be the point of the Elon Musk / Trump economy.

It’s Newsweek, and Newsweek is a bit ratch, as publications go.

Everyone’s been talking to grandma this cycle. The grandmas are out in force.

Respect granny and go do the same.

So if he tried to jump the line to vote, got arrested, and now can’t vote. Sound strategy.

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

I’m locking myself in my shop after 8pm, and using destructive metal objects to tear apart desiccated tree flesh. Maybe I’ll wander out at 3am and see what’s up. There’s no internet out there, and that may be the only path of sanity Tuesday night.

Entertaining the alternative reality of a deeply mentally ill man is typically not a good idea. And yet our press keeps doing it. There are better words to convey this headline.

And how?

According to conservative relatives there was no coup, only bad players.

I’m so sick of living in a malignant narcissist’s alternative reality. Can we go back to a time where half of us don’t play along with and encourage the delusions of mental illness? Pretty please?

Idk, 2 people tried to shoot him. I think he’s going to backpedal on that one.

Because as a cluster B personality disorder, the primary statement made when negative but truthful statements are made about them is: nuh-uh. To be clearer: no, they are doing it, not me. “They” being whomever the cluster B personality disorder deems their enemy at the time. (They always have an enemy, of sorts.). Sometimes it’s a vehement: no, YOU are doing this, not me.

It’s a playbook of behavior with cluster B personality disorder that occurs like clockwork.

Cluster B is borderline psychosis due to the alternative realities they present to self and others, which is simply where they exist. There is also high dysfunction for relationships, but not enough life dysfunction to get them institutionalized, most of the time. They are deeply sick individuals in need of help, in need of long term therapy.

So here we are. A vehement denial of behaviors, and a demonization of the ones daring to describe negative behaviors out loud.

And this will be the twist around, the sophistry applied to objections going forward. An accusation of violence where there is none. Granted, that’s the cluster B personality playbook: accuse others of what you yourself are doing. (See: DSM-V). And since MAGA republicans are embracing the cluster B playbook, the above is not surprising, but expected.

Bloodless coup quote extracted from a far right YouTube. The gentleman on display is the president of the heritage foundation, the heritage foundation is heavily involved in writing Project 2025. Context: discussing Supreme Court decision re presidential immunity paving the way to what is needed for the bloodless coup.

The idea, this year, is to prevent certification. Then they can manipulate the system through a compliant Speaker of the House to finagle a Trump win. If federal monitors are there, it will undermine this plan.

Food dehydrator.

Please. We will sit at home and cry. Or go wave signs in a street somewhere. And neither of those things will change anything.

They’ve said it out loud. Heritage foundation guy has been saying we’re in the middle of a bloodless coup, bloodless if the left allows it.

The historian, Heather Cox Richardson, can walk you though the legal channels for an election steal, provided the Speaker of the House is on board. I’m not going to dig to find it again. She’s on YouTube.

This is going to be like Roe, isn’t it? Where people know exactly what’s about to happen then act surprised when it does.

Oh right. Vance’s debate argument that you can’t go with what economists say about the economy.

I don’t think a serial cheater and divorcée has any business discussing the appropriate parameters for marriage.

Edit: How old is he? The pic makes him look like a bleached sarcophagus.

Women live longer than men. The geriatric population will naturally be majority female.

Try to stay with me here because I have this crazy idea. It’s out there. So far out there I’m pretty sure it’s never been done. How about we have a woman with medical training in charge of women’s health?
