The US Election is finally over and the “people” have spoken. Unfortunately, the people who spoke loudest, are the haters, the bullies, and the ignorant. It may be just a temporary shock, but I am currently questioning whether or not I can continue to hand microphones to people who hate, bully, and ignore. I always ran my karaoke shows saying, “The show isn’t about me, it’s about you all, folks, come on up, sing a song, have fun, impress (or don’t impress) your friends.”
But, occasionally, people would come up and want to sing utterly tasteless artists, like, “Kid Rock” for example, especially during times when his anti-gay anti-trans videos were all over the news. People would come up and hold up a can of Bud Light and say “Dump em out boys!” in reference to Kid Rock’s anti-trans, anti-gay agenda. during that time. I don’t know if I can continue to hand mics to people in red hats for another 4 years. It’s one thing to have a minority of bigots in the room, but an emboldened majority… that’s a totally different thing.
I remember very well how Trump’s first term emboldened the bullies and bigots, and how Trump egged on the red hats as if they were his own personal army of SS street thugs and my gay and trans friends literally feared for their lives as they were repeatedly, randomly, harrassed, by seemingly random people on the street. I’m not interested in catering to those people. The money I get from hosting Karaoke really doesn’t matter that much.
I remember Kyle Rittenhouse, bringing an AK-47 to a peaceful protest against murderous cops, shooting 3 protesters, and then subsequently being acquitted of all charges. I remember how the Minneapolis Riot fires, blamed on Black Lives Matter protesters, were actually originally started by a police officer, who walked out of the police precinct, lit the Auto-Zone on fire, then crossed the street back into the precinct… all the while being filmed by protesters right in his face.
In the next 4 years, I expect things to be worse. It’s barely 2 days after the election and young girls are already starting to get bullied in school with words like “Your body, my choice!”
Then there’s grifter-in-cheif Elon Musk. This scammer, spent $1 million a day to buy voters in swing states in a fake lottery that nobody could really “win” (instead the “winners” were deliberately chosen with some unknown method… like “I’m going to give $1 million dollars to my neighbor, Bob, every day in exchange for you signing this petition.”
Somehow, this grifter is heralded by the community as some kind of great entrepreneur, but there is a mountain of evidence to suggest that he is nothing of the sort. Let’s examine some facts about Elon Musk.
- Was born rich, thanks to South African emerald mines powered by slave labor during the South African apartheid era.
- Illegally immigrated to the United States with a fraudulent visa.
- Makes a lot of money from YOU, the Taxpayer, directly from the US Government.
- Was not a “founder” of Tesla
- Is decades behind and billions over budget on nearly every dumb idea he’s ever drawn on a napkin.
- His SpaceX rockets are no more reusable than the space shuttle was in the 1980’s.
- SpaceX hasn’t left low-earth-orbit, yet was supposed to have landed on the moon TWICE by now.
- SpaceX (still) has no viable plan to land its giant heavy rockets on the moon, because it’s basically against the laws of physics given the type of rocket they’re actually trying to land.
- The Cyberdumpster was supposed to cost $30K and have an “exoskeleton”. It has a conventional truck frame and costs $100k. It also has no self-driving capabilities, despite customers paying $15,000 for the “upgrade”.
- Tesla cars were supposed to be self-driving years ago, but instead, Tesla is ranked maybe #7 in self-driving technology, directly thanks to Elon’s insistence on using low-quality cameras as the sole sensor inputs.
- Elon bought Twitter and drove it into the ground and now it’s just a racist, nazi cesspool that nobody wants to advertise on. When advertisers left, he sued his own advertisers for refusing to buy ads. (Like, can McDonalds sue you for not buying Big Macs after their recent Ecoli outbreak?)
- Elon’s “boring company” promised a “hyperloop” between LA and San Francisco, delivered a warped one-lane tunnel under Las Vegas exclusively for Tesla cars, and a dismantled and abandoned multi-billion dollar experimental maglev track about 100 yards long.
Sorry, you all want THIS GUY to be in the government where he basically promises to fire millions of government workers!? That will be great for the US economy won’t it!?
So let’s look at some other pretty logical facts:
- There is no magic “make inflation go down” button.
- Firing millions of government workers, as promised by D.O.G.E. will not help the US economy… it will just make millions of Americans broke AF and drive up unemployment.
- Tariffs of 20% on imported goods will not make prices go down. Prices won’t go down, but rather, investments in USA will create higher paying jobs, balancing out inflation… for example Biden’s CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act.
- Deporting Migrant workers will not bring prices down, rather it will drive UP prices.
- Divesting in foreign diplomacy will leave a vacuum for other countries to influence, thereby making China, Iran, and Russia stronger… threatening the USA. To learn more, google China’s “Belts and Roads Initiative” to learn how they are trying to defeat the USA in their diplomatic efforts, while taking control of the world’s resources.
You all voted wrong, folks. Plain and simple. I know many of you just weren’t “feeling” the economy. But as MAGA idiots say, “Fuck your feelings.”
