A massive tranquilizer for liberals in Cayucos

The liberals in town are walking around with a bounce in their steps after four years of shuffling along in a morose torpor, one minute angry and spouting their vehement diatribes against the hated Trump, the next grumbling dismally that the son of a bitch was going to get reelected and continue his carnage of the country and force us all to flee to Greek islands or Ireland or anywhere in Europe where dictators do not exist.

I was one of those, having no confidence in voters and positive most Americans were fine with an authoritarian demagogue having a great time agitating his enemies into foaming-at-the-mouth bat-shit loonies on a daily basis, and transforming at least half of America into an absolute nervous breakdown, while the other half rejoiced at our slowly disintegrating soul-sucking, babbling, walking-around-in-circles nonstop mental anguish, gleefully repeating utterances on Fox News by Hannity and anybody else on the right piling on with increasingly vile loathing of us weak-kneed coastal elites.

Well, by God, now the tables are turned and we got an old man in the White House dispensing oratorical ativan and ambien in large doses to the whole lot of us temporary winners, though, when I run into my liberal friends on the beach or streets and they inform me how relieved and joyous they are that Trump is finally gone, I remind them that the people who stormed the capital and turned America into a maelstrom of chaotic anarchy and nihilism are possibly the only scattered group in America as well-armed as the entire U.S. military.

I haven’t handled a firearm since I got out of the army, and I can’t think of any relatives or friends (mostly coastal elites though solidly working-class) who even have a gun.

The other afternoon two neighborhood ladies walking their dog stopped as I hovered over my deck railing, and expressed their happiness at Trump’s tail-between-his-his-legs departure to Florida, where he no doubt intends to soon stir his legions into further fury at the very idea of these goddamn libs possessing the audacity to think they can tax the rich and fuck with our cops and take away our guns and give money to lazy non-white parasites!

These ladies, like me, had a Biden poster out front of their residence before the election. They carried on for awhile about how they despised Trump. They are possibly a couple decades younger than me.

I told them, “I’m not sure this is a healthy country anymore. There’s a sickness in the air, and I don’t mean just the pandemic.”

“Well, we have to be optimistic.”

It seems the ladies in town are surer of a more optimistic future than the men. I think most of us are still punchy from the barrage of outrageous poison and lies hurled at us for what seemed an interminable amount of time. We might not ever believe again after this experience. We surely will not ever be the same. Surely, America will never be the same.

The inauguration seemed a different animal than Biden’s victory night. There is the hopeful reality that for at least a little while we can leave the tube and feel things might improve and not give a damn about anything (we’re free!), and it’s too bad the bars are closed because I felt on election night and inauguration day like going to the Schooner’s Wharf and slugging down some buckets of good vodka with a few boozers I haven’t seen much of in almost a year.

It’s been a slog. But it feels good now that I can be part of a national populace not only despised, but despised for having our folks in power as we gloat over no longer having to turn on the TV and witness the latest Trump harpoon sunk into the over-sensitive hides of us weak-kneed coastal elites.

What we do have to look forward to though, is the already teeming onslaught of the lethal, willfully ignorant jackals that invaded our capital—a crew whose contempt for us and discontent with their own station in life in America seems all consuming and barbarous.

So Dell, how’s your new America going so far? Perhaps each week, after our new President’s handlers tell him what he is going to do that week and he blindly does it, you can let us know how his executive orders are going to make things better for us. Transgender athletes on the track and court, and in the locker rooms?

Ah, it’s actually functioning again and deaths will slow due to actual Gov organization vs, you know, nothing as under the last admin. so it must be good. Now we respect science, ethics, empathy again. Biden is no Bernie, but hey, it’s better than that Criminal T@@@@.

Glad to hear you have bounce in your step there in your elitist enclave. I hope you enjoy it while those 11,000 Americans and their families will be losing there jobs and income after a swift signing of a pen by Joey last week. The poor guy didn’t even know where to sign without Kamel telling him.


Things have not really changed other than the “D” in front of those elitist in D.C. The lying and greed for power and control over all of us continues as it has for decades now due to our own apathy. Again, enjoy your brief comfort, because in a year or two, someone is going to be wiping Joey’s ass and feeding him.

Will never understand that how someone feels could depend upon which scumbag lawyer is in office. It baffles me.

Thanks Dell

Thanks for what? Partisan rhetoric and shallow thinking?

Good writing, as usual, Dell. I’m in the camp that I now don’t have to watch the news every minute to witness the next outrage against our nation by said demagogue. Adults are in charge and the man-baby is no longer relevant to anything that is going on.


Of course, I am definitely encouraging Don and all his cultists to start their new Patriot Party. They can cannibalize what is left of the Republicans, who are already eating their own—in Arizona, Kelli Ward and the other kooks have censured their governor (once a Trump loyalist), Cindy McCain and Jeff Flake.

I keep hearing about the capital bldg. riot from the left but can’t understand why they never mention the other riots in the summer with the same vigor that burned and looted businesses and was encouraged by numerous elected officials in Washington. Both of these riots should never be condoned but condemed equally. I agree Trumps biggest downfall was he talked to much and should of been more professional but at least he stood up for this country and finally put us first. The left is already putting the US last and Dell I hope you aren’t to old to learn a foreign langauge because China and foreign oil will own us soon. Lets see if you still love Bidens policies after a yr of his US destruction.

One was civil rights, one was psychopaths. That’s why!


-20

What’s civil about burning, looting and destroying businesses, or attacking police and fire personnel while doing their jobs. What’s civil about killing and injuring innocent human beings. All the while spewing hate speech and bigotry. Talk about domestic terrorist psychopaths.

Wait, Dell is a coastal elite liberal, you would’ve never known by his self important, mundane drivel he feels he needs to publish here.

It’s only been a couple of days for old Joe, but so far over a million jobs lost, and a big FU to our best friend Canada. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. Maybe all the peace and love liberals and progressives will come here from Portland and dispense us some of their “Justice”.

Can’t you just feel the unity…

This “Justice” dispensing Portland Antifa, that concerns you so greatly, is neither liberal or progressive. Identifying them as such is a red herring, intended to be misleading or distracting.

Shelworth, you had rioters at the Capitol agitated over a false election claim drummed up by a would be dictator, Trump. These seditious rioters beat an officer to death planning to hang members of Congress and Pence.

When will you wise up and see this right wing bull for what it is? Such ideological devotion is a form of lunacy.


-36

What the hell is “Justice” dispensing? Are you that challenged that you believe this domestic terrorist group Antifa, is serving justice with their deadly and destructive acts of rage and hate?


Antifa and blm have been funded, supported and even bailed out of jail, along with attorney’s fees paid by many of the Progressive politician’s like Kamel Harris, Hollywood Socialist like Michael “Jabba the Hut” Moore. Bill “Lipstick” Maher, just to name a few. Talk about lunacy.


There were 26 deaths of innocent people over the last year during these terror and insurrection movements. These movements were led by Antifa and blm against many of our nations cities. There was a police officer in Oakland, and retired police officer near St. Louis who was protecting a friends business that were both gunned down in cold blood during these so-called “peaceful protest”. It appears your blinded by your own ideology and red herring.

Antifa is not serving justice. They are, like far right extremists, traitors to their country. Traitors. Justice dispensing is referring to your statement about them. That’s why it was in quotes.

Based on my visit to the Waterfront Blues Festival in downtown Portland, right next to the Federal Building hot spot, both the Proud Boys and Antifa are a far right and far left ‘clown slap show’. The feed off of each other. Yes, some have been sucked into supporting Antifa and Proud Boys.

As to your two police deaths, the officer killing in Oakland was Boogaloo Bois.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/17/boogaloo-steven-carrillo/

The retired police officer killing while protecting a friends’ pawn shop near St. Louis, was a robbery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_David_Dorn

So sorry, not BLM, not even your fav Antifa. Your examples are debunked. OOh OOH let me turn on Hannity, Rush, Tucker, I need a hit of BullS**t. Meanwhile, the Capitol Insurrection is ignored by ideologically dependent, right wing, fellow travelers to treason.

Thanks my local brother. Per usual. Damned if you do, or dont.
