Put aside the whole Republican vs. Democrat mud-flinging for a sec, because this here is some piping hot truth that you need to listen to.
Notice he doesn't mention political party.
That's because this "anti-human movement that's sweeping the West" has adherents on both sides of the aisle. Yes, the far-left thinks we should depopulate the Earth and leaves nothing to the imagination in how that goal will be accomplished.
But many "conservatives" are out here "peddling things that have no conceivable benefit." Major Republican politicians are fine with abortion, LGBT curriculum in schools, redefining marriage, and appealing to Critical Race Theory and the climate doomsdayers because they actually believe the stuff.
They just think the far-left goes too far. They want wokeism, but the light version. They're like a man who's proud he only drank a few drops of poison instead of a whole bottle, as if it will make a difference in the end.
We want government to stall. We want it to fail.
We want the whole dang bloated machine to grind to a halt so that the corruption and the anti-human wokeism that has infected both parties can be burned out.
When there's ambient electricity in an object like a tank of water, it doesn't become a dangerous current of energy unless it has something to ground it. In 2015, Donald Trump was the first person to successfully become a human lightning rod for the growing number of American people who are totally disconnected from and disaffected by their government to the point where we loath and laugh at them.
We do not respect Congress. Congress is a pig sty full of clowns.
(Clowns that we continue to pray for, but clowns nonetheless.)
The congressmen who understand that they are actually frontline sanitation workers worthy of an episode of Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" are the ones who are still worth our respect.
But the elite donor class, after decades of American angst, still does not understand what they have become. This is why they went so hard after Trump and anyone who mocked them (like The Babylon Bee).
They still believe we care about their decorum and their procedures, but we couldn't care less. When our child's teacher is trying to teach them about gay sex, eggs cost $10 a carton, and the FBI is being used to censor us, we couldn't give a hoot if Kevin McCarthy isn't getting enough votes to be Speaker. The more they squirm, the better we feel.
They have become a laughingstock to us. They are the prophets of Baal who dance around an altar to a false god, and we laugh at them.
