OPINION

Well, 249 Years Was A Pretty Good Run…

Democrats have been wetting themselves over the past week about the idea of Texas redistricting their Congressional seats like, well, Democrats have in the states they control. They can’t handle it; they won’t handle it. Honestly, I don’t care. As Democrats flee Texas like roaches when the light is flipped on, let them destroy it all. We had a good run, right? There comes a time when it is simply no longer worth it, doesn’t there? I mean, 249 years is a pretty good run for a republic. They’re usually destroyed by leftists looking to do things with government power long before now. We had a good run.

My favorite part of the week is these leftist Democrat Governors coming out and saying how they’re going to consider gerrymandering their states beyond where they are, when doing so would be impossible. It shows a lack of self-awareness that has to be some kind of world record, honestly. 

Somehow, someone named Maura Healey managed to get elected Governor of Massachusetts, I assume because the alternative was a sexually abused tube sock. Anyway, this “genius” said if Republicans in Texas go through with what they’re allowed to do under Texas law, her state will have no choice but to revisit their Congressional districts to maximize the number of worthless Democrats they send to DC. 

Of course, the use of “scare quotes” around the word genius earlier was ironic, as Healey did not seem to know that her state was already gerrymandered to the point that there were no Republican House Members. Honestly, how stupid do you have to be?

You have to be as stupid as Democrats in Texas were when they hopped on a private jet and flew to Illinois, another completely gerrymandered state. 

At some point, the people who vote for these idiots will run a serious risk of noticing that all the talk of what they’re going to do should actually be in the past tense, since they’ve already done it. This should cause normal people to begin to understand why it is Republicans in Texas who even thought of this idea. Luckily for Democrats, their voters are not normal people.

Still, the truth will not be able to help but seep through the thick heads of these people, if only by accident. What did they think would happen? All that talk of “threats to democracy” went up in smoke, when people began to realize the threat was coming from inside the house all along…

I honestly don’t know how we can continue to co-exist with people like this – people who scream outrage over actions they have taken. How are we supposed to simply move on? 

They use the power of government every time they get it to force everyone else to do or pay for things they want, no matter how beyond the concept of constitutional they are. What liberalism is now is the use of the power of government to impose its will – to demand conformity and obedience – no matter what. It’s disgusting, but it still cracks me up when leftists consider themselves “anti-fascist” or even “punk,” when they are the antithesis of either of those and pretty much everything good.

Of course, telling them this is as pointless as telling a smoker they smell like cigarettes or a fish that they’re wet. Some people, no matter how you try, just can’t be reached or reasoned with. 

So, where do we go from here? 

I don’t know. 

The only thing that makes sense is the old saying, “When you’re going through hell, keep going.” On the other side, maybe some rational thoughts will prevail. Countries have split before, and other countries have pulled back from the brink. Which will happen here? I have no idea. But sometimes there’s nowhere to go but up.

We shall see, sooner rather than later, I suspect. After all, 249 years was a really good run.
