I’m sure some Matt rant has covered this but it isn’t enough for the dems to do absolutely horrifying shit, crushing or tearing apart the bodies of thousands of children and so forth. After they do this, they turn to us, crouched over the mangled corpses, eyes gleaming with strange light, and say: You wanted this, didn’t you? This is what you want. You consent to this. You want this to keep happening. Go on, say it. Vote for this. Say it. You want it. I will hear you say it.

    It’s even more infuriating because multiple Israeli government officials have derided Biden as not being supportive enough, which is deranged in it’s own right.

    But they were mocking him even as he gave them guns, and he just…kept giving them guns.

    Because the system is designed to punish. The election is a disciplinary tool.

    If you don’t vote for us, then you will be punished with a president who will be objectively worse on all fronts. That’s what you get for even dare to think that you can break the rules we have put in place by abstaining from the electoral process. No, if you don’t vote, you get punished. If you don’t vote for us, you get punished too.

    The election is a disciplinary tool.

    So here is my question for Joe Biden, the one man who has been anointed to save America from the terrifying notion of another Trump administration: Why have you decided to force American voters who do not want a fascist president to step over the bodies of thousands of dead civilians in order to vote for you? Why? What are you thinking? The Biden administration itself is subjecting all of us to this blood-soaked political kabuki, in which we are all supposed to grin tightly and talk about the CHIPS Act and investment in green energy and studiously ignore the thousands of dead children strewn all around us. It is as if the night before a big game, the New York Yankees went out and shot up an elementary school, and then turned to their fans and shrugged, “What are you gonna do—cheer for the Red Sox?”

      That’s what really gets me about the “We’re gonna get genocide either way” set. We’re expected to be totally inured to the horror and accept genocide is like the weather and not happening completely at the will and discretion of the guy they want us to vote for.

      “Yeah we killed 'em but if we let the Red Sox win, they’ll eat them. Why would you allow that to happen?”
