Revenge of the Tantrum Throwers

Just a cursory glance at post-midterm news headlines concerning the new crop of lunatics that have been put into power — and the people who celebrate them — makes me wonder: How can sentient human beings be so ugly, so stupid, so irrational, so ignorant of history, and so ungrateful, and then be elected to public office from sea to shining sea by my fellow citizens? It’s as if most of the country pitched some kind of infantile tantrum in voting booths, putting into power crazy leftists who themselves pitch infantile tantrums over what most of us would consider good things, like capitalism, borders and law enforcement.

Bravo, voters! Or should I say “tantrum throwers?” And many of you, we’re told, are Republicans and conservatives who were upset with Trump. Well, you really showed him! I’m not saying you had no legitimate complaints, but, damn, what have you done to us? The potential damage is incalculable. If you don’t think this is apocalyptic...Alabama just elected a transvestite to its state legislature. Game over.

So, here are a few of those headlines for you:

“Democrats win enough seats nationwide to end electoral college.” Let the destruction of the constitutional arrangement begin! Anything that poses a threat to Democrats’ absolute power must go. Thanks, angry voters.

“Left-wing influencer followed by Abdul El-Sayed calls for execution of Republicans.” Thanks again, tantrum throwers, for emboldening creeps like this guy, who said: “Nuremberg Trials for all these people…I want to see Jared Kushner’s size five loafers swinging and dangling. Alright? If Elon Musk is alive at Christmas, it has been a failure, alright?”

Alright, creep, I think we get the point. You’re another in a seemingly endless parade of damaged progressives who pleasure themselves with violent fantasies about their political enemies. Unfortunately, during these times we have to take threats seriously, given how many Republicans/conservatives have been attacked and/or murdered.

“Abdul El-Sayed declares Michigan the ‘capital of Arab America.’” I wonder if Senator, um, El-Sayed (so painful to say!) will do everything in his newly acquired power to attract more Muslims — including Muslim extremists, because that seems to go with the territory — into Michigan, to make Michigan a “mecca” for Muslims. After all, why should they have to continue living in their own failed, squalid Islamic countries when they can come to America and take advantage of its success, all with the hope of one day making it, too, Islamic?

“Jeffries says Stephen Miller should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.” Hey, Hakeem! Why don’t you just call for Miller’s assassination, straight up? Because for all intents and purposes, that’s what you’ve done. You’re fully aware of the army of crazies out there just waiting for their not-so-subtle assignments. Are you trying to impress the newly elected DSA Bolsheviks who think you’re not radical enough to be their Speaker?

And while we’re on the subject of Miller…

“Newly elected House Dem says he’d risk jail to ‘kick the sh_t’ out of new Trump chief of staff.” Elaborating further on what he would like to do, Richard Ojeda said, “I’d be more than happy to find myself in an elevator with him, and I’d whoop his a** from the first floor to the fifth floor.” My oh my, how the party of tolerance does love its violence.

“Peggy Flanagan declares ‘. . . We will rip ICE apart.’” Minnesota just made history by electing the country’s first Native American woman to the Senate. An enrolled citizen of the White Earth Nation, an Ojibwe tribe, you’d think she might have cause to be against unfettered illegal immigration, given the history and all. But given that nearly all of America’s illegal immigrants are people of color from the Third World, well... Y’all come! The more the merrier! Though I wonder if the White Earth Nation will be taking in any Somalis to settle on its reservation?

“Somali ‘Daycare’ Owner Linked to Minnesota Fraud Scandal Wins State House Race.” Of course he did. How else can Minnesotans prove they aren't racist? Further down in the article, it says, “He delivered part of his victory speech in Somali.” Of course he did.

I could go on ad nauseam with such stories of emboldened goons and fools whose only talent in life is to denigrate or destroy something good that was made by someone else. So I have to ask the tantrum throwers: Why did you do this to us? I don’t care what your complaint against Trump or the mostly useless Republican Congress is. We are infinitely better off with him and them than what you have foisted upon us.

Does that mean we have to put up with the RINO’s who perennially disappoint us, that we just have to vote “R” and take whatever we get? No, that’s what primaries are for — to overturn the RINO’s with more conservative, (hopefully) better candidates. How many of the tantrum-throwers made any effort to do that this year? Or any other year? I don’t know the answer, but we do know that participation in primaries is paltry. But even if there was no good alternative to vote for in many cases, your spineless RINO is still infinitely better than what you just put into the halls of power.

But if you did this solely because you’re mad at Trump, because the price of gas is too high, which is because of Trump’s broken promise about no new forever wars...well, it’s not like the other wars. There are no boots on the ground, we’re not nation-building, and it won’t last forever. I want it to be resolved, too, but I totally agree with the objective: don’t let Iran go nuclear and put the kibosh on its ability to sponsor endless terrorism in the region. I think we should have declared victory early on, gone home and let Iran know we can do it again anytime we want. And as for the price of gas, I’d be willing to pay double if it would make this newly elected crop of maniacs disappear. And you can be sure that most, if not all, of them will take Iran’s side.

Hakeem Jeffries blathered about a “malignant tumor,” but he got his malignancies mixed up. The real one, the Democratic Party, just went metastatic — thanks to the tantrum throwers. The body politic is now infected from one end to the other, and it’s out to kill and replace its host. It hates everything you love and loves everything that you hate. It will destroy what is good, beautiful and proficient, and will elevate the depraved, ugly and incompetent. That was one hell of a tantrum you threw.

Barack Obama once said: “Elections have consequences.” Charles Krauthammer once said: “Decline is a choice.” H.L. Mencken once said: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Yep, yep and yep. Buckle up, folks, it’s gonna be a rough ride, possibly into America’s sunset.
