Mad times
Al Franken was joking, dammit! Shortly after Trump's disastrous rally in Tulsa, Al Franken issued the following tweet:6,200 people at Trump rally in Tulsa. Acts that had bigger crowds at the same venue in 2019:The jest quickly traveled throughout the internet -- and near as I can tell, absolutely everyone has taken it seriously. It's a joke, son.
- Sha Na Na
- The Pips (w/o Gladys Knight)
- Loverboy
- John Tesh
- The West Virginia Touring Company of La Traviata
There is no West Virginia Touring Company performing La Traviata or any other opera. I could find no online trace of any grand opera productions in West Virginia or by West Virginians. There are two West Virginia theatrical concerns with "opera" in their names, but they specialize in Broadway musicals such as The Sound of Music and Shrek: The Musical.
(In case you're curious, La Traviata is a work by Verdi best known for the drinking song in the first act. It's one of those tunes that you've heard even though you can't remember where you heard it.)
Iconoclasm at the expense of power. Why do I predict a Trump victory in 2020, despite the polls favoring Biden? Shit like this.
Look, I despised Andrew Jackson long before despising Andrew Jackson become fashionable -- before, in fact, the birth of most of the people who tried to pull down that statue. But there's a difference between a civilized debate and mob madness.
We're seeing Taliban-level fanaticism here. Eventually this insanity will repulse the majority of the American public.
These outbursts serve only Trump. These outbursts will insure that Donald J. Trump picks the next two Supreme Court vacancies, and that the Federalist Society will have complete sway over all other judgeships.
Mark my words: The backlash will come and the Democrats will suffer. The day is not far away when that backlash begins. That day may even be today.
I would not be even slightly surprised to learn that these events are being covertly orchestrated, or at least aided, by pro-Trumpers -- or worse, by the zealots who want race war.
So far, Biden has been able to float above it all -- but eventually, he will be forced to answer the hard and inescapable questions. He'll be asked: "Do you support the mobs tearing down statues?" He'll be asked: "Do you agree with those who ostracized J.K. Rowling because she used the term women instead of people who menstruate?" I'm sure that you can think of several other no-win posers of this sort.
Biden -- an elderly man who isn't exactly the most verbally adept candidate in history -- won't be able to dance his way out of this predicament. He will need to answer. These are simple "yes or no" questions, and either answer will hurt him politically. If Biden says "No," the progressive purists will eviscerate him. If he says "Yes," he'll alienate the purple-state rural voters he needs to woo.
That's why I believe that Trump has this election in the bag. And when he wins, he'll say: "Thanks, progressives! Thanks, gender dysphorics! Thanks, feminists! Thanks, African Americans!"
I fully expect to see Donald Trump, the most loathsome political figure in recent history, take the oath of office again. Trump will pick the next two Supreme Court vacancies. He will let the Federalist Society will have complete sway over all other judgeships. And God only knows what other horrors will be unleashed.
In 2016, I thought that democracy was in peril because the right had gone insane. Now I believe that democracy is doomed because the left has gone as insane as the right.
