So, remember how the media covered Joe Biden being old as fuck like it was the only piece of news out there? Yeah well we've got a few dinosaurs out there still kicking on The Right that just won't quit. The mental aging and decline of the governing body has been coming for decades at this point and there's no beating around the bush anymore—these people like to think age is just a number (in both directions), but they're starting to literally decay in front of us.
Term limits in Congress are one thing, but these fragile old white guys covet their power so much that they'll do anything they can to stay in power.
Hitler took a cocktail of drugs that would stop a rhino just to stay alert. Trump should probably take notes because he's literally passing out in meetings left and right. Mitch McConnell has been showing signs of an aging mind for years at this point, it's no surprise he's in the hospital. What would be a surprise is if he's discharged.
Why do these assholes hold on to power like this? It's because if they don't, they'll face the consequences of their actions. They'd rather burn it all to the ground than be convicted of raping children and sex trafficking. Mitch over here would rather drag his corpse to the Capitol than face the consequences of standing by while his party attempted a coup.
Nuremberg is coming for them and they know it. They put their buddies in power, installing a corrupt regime to try and hold on to their power for as long as possible. If everything burns to the ground, then they think they won't have to face accountability. But they know they can't hold on to the power they have. Midterms are coming up and they have nothing to campaign on. That's going to be the real test of our Democracy.
The Right has already tried to blow holes in elections everywhere, stopping gerrymandering for The Left while forcing gerrymandering from The Right. They've planted conspiracy theories in the minds of The Party to undermine California's gubernatorial election.
They will not stop because they are afraid. They are afraid of us, The People, who will not stop until we have a government for the people again. The world of billionaires and even trillionaires is unnatural. The consolidation of wealth has top-weighted our world—and top-weighted structures are highly unstable. Shake up the base enough and the structure comes toppling to the ground.
Trump's name coming off the Kennedy Center is a drop in the ocean we have to fill, but a start is a start. Get registered to vote. Protest. Write music, poems, blogs. Make art. Do anything you can to show that they do not have power over you. Because The People have the power. And They fear us.
