Going Postal

Today's mail delivered pause to more than one CEO, or power broker for  imminent policy changes, and egregious profit taking. And so it comes to this.
​
There is no fiscal calculus which forgives Trump voters from voting for him. (Although they may claim messianic surety, The Dolt as protector from the "Deep State") The actual singular enrichment one can receive from a vulgar Narcissist nit-wit is to wallow in their shade, like a supplicant dog. Regardless of what has been said of revenge politics, here will come the imminent pile-on of regretful voters. ("Don't blame me I voted for X") They've only picked Mr. Despicable to normalize the privilege of behaving badly.  Soon these clever supplicants will lose their Healthcare, Disability, V.A. hospitals, Mental health care, Medicare, Medicaid, Vitamin Fortified Sugared cereal, Vaccinations, Hot-Pockets, Insulin, Baby Formula, Safe Drugs, Organics, Clean water, Breathable air, and Cheap Gas... All in exchange for being able to treat each-other like shit without civilized people holding them to account.  The ONLY reason anyone really voted for Trump is to grant themselves impunity -- The license to be base without someone 'Woke' calling them out.
What then happens when the wimpy ones seek revenge against their bully? A fundamental part of that script is writ where bad guys look like bad guys, adorned with all sorts of belligerent affect, the smell, the chewed fingernails, and even the hardened gizz of a serial 'criminal'.  ... But what to make of the quiet ones; The clean-cut killers?

At Thanksgiving, my smug-fuck legal clerk nephew murmured under his paralytic bourbon stupor that, "Trump Only won because (stupid) Democrats persecuted him..." "...They should have left him alone; He'd have gone away", he mumbled.  This trope resuscitated since (well) forever about and by every single privileged angry white-man-baby, every school shooter, every Capital Storm-trooper, every Rifle-toting Militia member, every racist temple shooter, every lunatic bomber,  wannabe gubernatorial kidnapper, and every secessionist back & before Harrison left office -- is bogus. Media does this fictive gift wrap to invent understanding of american sociopaths, and lunatics who act very very badly, because we need to fit some Hollywood mold, while some (nay most) secretly envy their freedom.
​America's 'construct' packages 'crazy' as if everything had some educated if reasonable cause. The nature of psychotherapy seeks to "understand" by packaging every behavioral outcome. And... as David Brooks would have you understand Insecure LAME-ASS threatened white privilege has been crowded out by happy free-love confident 'woke' young people, without body shame, or shame whatsoever... who conveniently don't vote en-masse. Most angry white males, and nearly as many bitter females super-duper resent those without an axe to grind.  Today, if you cannot name someone ("fucking Obama") who'd prevented you from stardom, then you are definitely one of "them Liberals".
Two Months ago, at the Denver airport, a clutch of Confederates from Charlotte were awaiting their oversized golf clubs at the Carousel.  One of them in boisterous oratory, blaming Obama for how long they'd have to wait for their bags.  For real..., and two more golfers chimed in with assertions about how he was (still) running the current administration.  Yeesh!
Swimming upstream against inebriated rosy Man-taliation, comes the wimpy kid, in a sea of apathetic blue dots. In a fair-wage liberalism where everyone who wants a job has one, and everyone gets a medal for showing up; Where slackers get a 25% tip whether they perform or not; because their bosses want them off the books. We have squandered social mores (s'mores) and broken our shameless republic by outsourcing it to authoritarians'.  When the expectation to behave is gone -- Beware the silent minority who get fed up. 

Because they don't always look like the criminal from your legal procedural. 
Shame on those sniveling Democrats for wanting justice, and to preserve the so-called rule of law. Those timid losers were too scared of their AK-totting neighbor to put a Blue Sign on their front lawn. Shame on the so called influencers and the pussy-pod-casters who didn't take a side from fear of losing far right subscribers. Shame on the Joe Rogan's for plainly being a douche-bag. Shame on the wishy-washy fuck-wits who did far too little, way too late. 
Shame on Obama for being way too well spoken, educated, cultivated, and reasonable, and for being a gorgeous black man.
Yep, it's still "[fucking] Obama's" fault, and half the privileged male electorate are still loathing with envy for whatever fictional [Obama era] construct had prevented them from being a baller.  And why not still blame Obama for higher fuel prices, Inflation, and the 23.5% increase in the cost of Hot Pockets, Pizza-Rolls, and Frosted Flakes. The real truth is they feel threatened by smart, well spoken, and honest adults, who'd studied, worked hard, and smiled a bit. It's a game, and you have to play it well, or you can yell, and scream, and throw the game-board and all the pieces acrost the room, because you aren't winning.  Watch and Wait motherfuckers, because you did this, and not the Ivy League. (Thank you David Brooks). If you think that a vacuum of Democratic Hate Speech is peacefully conspicuous, and that so-called Democrats picked a legal fight with the wrong tyrant. That Trump only seeks vengeance for having been picked on... Well you are wrong. Social media trains people to envy, and cultivate rage against the happy ones.  Blue Pill, or Red Pill? 
Trump does NOT want vengeance, he wants nothing more than attention... And chaos and cheeseburgers fuel him. Surely if the media hadn't made him a martyr, he'd have fallen silently like a tree in the wind. There is no doubt a full chapter in the D.S.M. is dedicated specifically to Trump. But there is no tidy box with a bow which contains the chaos bringing more mild-mannered sociopaths out of the woodwork. They bide their time, & sporadically arrive to square accounts for themselves or for others. A talisman perhaps of balance.
America's new assassins aren't all awkward loners, who were rejected by women for being sloppy, uncouth, and even barbaric... Apparently, (as the media will have you believe) killers also arrive clean cut, even Handsome. And when the bad guys have not yet been demonized, demeaned, re-cast as animals by the media -- Attractive assassins (Robin-Hood-lums) are strangely effective to redraw public attention to just what is wrong with america's misogynistic, greedy, CEO-crotch-grabbing economy.  Rest assured whether this is the guy, or just a scape-goat... Law enforcement will soon file charges or kill someone, (death by cop) and then call their dogs off. And the images to follow will be dark.

"This week, all the innerwebs were ablaze with women celebrating just, "... how handsome that one new shooter guy is."  "I know right?" ...Well, it's not your grandfather's postal shooter -- If the Post office even survives government cuts. The archetype of going postal these days is the same despicable act, but (well) also handsome? (and buff). A cyclist with a strong jawline who'd exacted vengeance upon yet another greedy twat tyrant.
   If "Going Postal" now means handsome young liberal cyclists, exacting revenge against the One percenters... then we have piqued. This too is what they voted for.  The revolution began with the first blundered shot, and Trump won just because someone missed his head, then hold steady liberal america. If today the Kids rollin' around on e-bikes are practiced shots out for blood, Then we are going to truly take the gloves off well through 2030. Whoever the unremarkable suspect to take the rap for this and whatever boring manner they are apprehended -- there will be far stranger (if telling) remarks which frame him as noteworthy; "He ruined his whole life", "He Fulfilled his destiny", "He got his man", "Thank you", "He's Awful", "Despicable", "He is my hero", "This is what he wanted to do." The shooter simply wanted him dead, and likely regrets "having to take care of that", for everyone else, "...Your welcome".
To die for something, or in the least to spend one's natural life in prison, for such a cause is noteworthy in the vacuum of social apathy today. Everyone piles on after the event occurs, but very few work to change it's trajectory.  Anyway, with or without internet fans, the die is now struck for many more so called handsome assassin's to skulk out of the shadows, and settle a grievance with a corrupt collapsing system -- And this one,  is also not Obama's fault.
