Inside Thoughts

Inside thoughts are those impressions and opinions that are best left unspoken. Here are a few important conversation tips for me to keep in mind.

1) When someone shows me a baby pic of their new grandwhatever, do NOT respond with “holy shit, he looks just like Mitch McConnell!”

Also, if the parental units have affixed a pink bow to the bambino’s head or made sure the newborn’s swathed in blue, blue, blue, it’s best not to ask “Why are you focusing so heavily on your new offspring’s gender? Are you afraid your new little penis possessor will want to be a ballet dancer when he grows up? Scared your wee vagina American might be interested in engineering when she reaches college?”

Empty Greene is STILL
obsessed with Hunter’s shvantz

These are probably best left unstated/unasked.

2) There are a zillion rock solid reasons to slam the fuck outta the traitorous Cheato, Empty Greene, white nationalist twat Tuberville, Handy Oakley, Cancun Cruz, Moscow Mitch, Putin fanboy Ron Johnson, flip flopper Lindsey Graham, etc., etc. Zinging in on sloppy excess weight, illness, problem offspring (though once those entitled trouble seekers hit 18, they’re fair game—looking at you Tyler Boebert and all the Palin spawn), is an off-point distraction from the very real reasons why these shit-for-brains are vile.

Obviously all the above mentioned troll-fuckers are, at the very least, dimwitted, greedy-ass, grifting, hypocritical democracy abusers with venom running through their veins instead of blood. So why slam tfg, Cruz and Graham for being fat, sedentary and ugly? Why insult bulldozing, do-nothing Marge for her lack of a full complement of toes and otherwise homely appearance?

Because it’s fun to mock the bullying mockers. It’s satisfying to go low when all we have to defend ourselves is our vote. Still, how many of my friends would be hurt if/when I make fat, ugly, illness, education level, etc. quips about these crime-ing fools?

It’s also way too easy. No intellectual challenge.

3) Don't diss an entire state's people for the crimes of their extremist officials. I’m quite aware that despite their vile governors, there are good, intelligent people living in Florida and Texas. They’re in the minority but they DO exist. To dismiss an entire state or region (I’m lookin’ at YOU deep south!) for the grifter-ass weasels who’ve managed to lie themselves into power is unfair. I have friends and relatives who live in red states and they vote—most def not for Putin’s Republican Party either.

Cake wants me to be nicer

Who benefits from painting all Texans, all Oklahomans, West Virginians, Wyomingites, Floridians, etc. with the same toothless, brain fried, cognitively impaired hick brush? No one. It’s mean and an inaccurate picture.

Doing so ignores the fact that a lot of these states have been gerrymandered to hell and back. Also, there're the voter suppression laws courtesy of power mad assholes like Abbottoir, DeSatan, Mississippi’s Tate Reeves, Arkansas’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders, etc.

So, if a person tells me they’re from one of these beleaguered red states, my first response should NOT be to ask them why they don’t move. Just as Massachusetts is my home, Texas is the home of my grandnieces. They’re not Republicans but they love their home state. Who knows, with enough activism from folks like Olivia Julianna, Michelle Davis, Colin Allred and more, maybe another awesome champion like Ann Richards could be elected.

It could happen.
