This Ain't A Scene. It's a Goddamn Arms Race!
Dear Missing America,
This Ain’t A Scene, It’s a Goddamn Arms Race!
I take that line from a Fall Out Boy song that I am rather fond of; and I am rather fond of that song and line because it resonates a strong and vital truth in modern America: The political parties are fucking us,...every one. It is a sad and hard truth, that they don’t want you and me to see, but they are lost, and they are desperate, and they are dying. And in their vain efforts to remain relevant and appear vital, they are failing to listen to any voice from outside their castle walls; lest they risk it being one of treacherous nature. So, as a result, every voice from beyond the wall must be a dangerous one. So, why then, are any self confident Americans actually listening to a damn thing the Republicans or the Democrats say anymore? Well, ...we’re not. So if you do fancy yourself to be a self confident American, and you are still listening to their shit, without questioning it, all of it, then you’re a fucking moron. And you’re still drinking the kool aid.
Now, as for the rest of us, we still listen, we just hear it more clearly than you do. Now that’s not to say that you can’t too; only that you are prevented from doing so by the illegitimate influence of one of the two ruling political parties. This is easy for them to do. They have the power, the money, the machinery, and control of the government. So, what is there to do, but choose coke or pepsi and get on with life, right? Well, that used to be the idea, but not anymore. Ever since Coke and Pepsi both started using arsenic in their water, it’s becoming more and more dangerous to pick either one. When I say coke and pepsi, I mean Republicans and Democrats. I don’t say that because I think you are stupid, I say that so they won’t sue my ass.
Anyway, in my youth, a wise T Shirt once said to me on a Super Bowl Sunday: “Who Cares?”, Let’s Have A Party! And I am inclined once again, to see the wisdom in that thought. “Who Cares?” I mean seriously, who? Do you? Do you care which party is in control of the government anymore? Really, truly care? As in, you genuinely believe that they can and will make good on their promises, and that their way is the best way for all Americans to move forward together? Because if you do...SAY IT WITH ME NOW...You’re a fucking moron! But, that doesn’t mean you can’t be saved. After all, stupid is a choice, and not a condition. Leave the parties behind. Join the Missing Americans. We are here, and we outnumber the left and the right, 2 to 1.
Look, 2020 is screwed. Legit, screwed. There is only one choice coming out of the right, and that is DJT, the worst living example of what can happen when two, not just one, but two ruling political parties go off the rails, together. From the left, you are going to get “Anyone But Trump!”...whoever that may end up looking like. The problem here, is that regardless of which party wins the next Presidential Election, and the 2022 Mid Terms, it’s going to be four more years of the same old shit, on a different day, politics as usual. American life is going to continue this one step forward, two steps back dance that gets us nowhere. But,...we can change that forever by 2024! Seriously! We just need to take away our overt and visible support for both the Republicans and the Democrats! Instead of trying to elevate a third party to be able to challenge the two ruling parties, we should simply shrink the two ruling parties down to size. Make them have to fight harder for our support, and they will do just that, fight harder. Then we will see who is more important in this country, us, or them.
The Missing Americans in this country constitute a growing majority of pissed off people. Sure, a lot of us left all together and don’t even bother to vote, or even register, but there are an awful lot of Missing Americans who do vote, and we vote for both parties, and even other parties, but we don’t look at other voters and wonder if they are friend or foe while we’re doing it. I know you know what I am talking about. It happens every time we have an election, and these past three years, it seems like it just kept on burning, like a continental tire fire...stank-nasty, and toxic!
So no, the modern Republican and Democrat Political Parties ain’t a scene! But they are most definitely a Goddamn Arms Race! Just look at the U.S.’ Senate over the course of Obama and Trump’s combined eleven years in office. First, when the Republicans were strong enough to halt any forward movement by the Democratic majority, the Democrats famously enacted the “Nuclear Option” and changed their own rules to make it easier to get around the Republicans. Then, when the Republicans held the majority, guess what they did...the exact same fucking thing, but worse. All through Barack Obama’s presidency, the Republican party as a whole, concentrated all its force on blocking him and the Democrats, and thus deactivating our government. They did it through politics, money, and power. All through Donald Trump’s presidency, the Democratic party as a whole, concentrated all its force on blocking and thus deactivating our government. They did it through politics, money, and power. They are still doing it, and neither party has given any indication that they will consider trying any other tactic, like... ever again. So, then why should any one who calls them-self an American, ever expect anything new or productive to come out of these two parties, until one is utterly destroyed by the other one; which of course is due to happen sometime between blow me, and go fuck yourself? Come the fuck on, America! Leave those worthless fuckers behind, and join the Missing! We are everywhere! We are where America is heading, despite the best efforts of both the Republican and Democrat Parties to try and keep us reigned in! Don’t you want to at least try and be free one last time, before a giant space rock hits planet earth and fucks us all? (Thanks for that by the way, NASA. You bunch of cosmic Karens!)
You can! You don’t even have to keep reading this blog to do it! But seriously, keep reading this blog! I need friends! About 165,000,000 of them to be exact. So stay with me, stay Missing, America! They are not as powerful as they appear to be; we just take away their fuel supply, and we can cut them off. We can choke them out, and they will be forced to deflate themselves to a proper size and scope for their roles in modern America. The Republican and Democrat parties are just glorified talent agencies, hocking glorified janitors, to do a simple job: run our government right. They are not the actual government, they are not the real majority of Americans, and they are not the all powerful politi-gods that they pretend to be. See the menagerie of snake oil salesmen, hiding behind the curtain America! For fuck’s sake! They’re all trying to slip roofies in our drinks and date rape us in their limo’s! Get a grip...and then rip off their shit and throw it out the window! Leave the Parties, Join the MIssing, and save America!
Sincerely,
B.Voll
