Justify Such Evil as the Will of God and Country, by Davin Michael Stedman

Supervillains create problems only they have the solution to fix.

Ok, here is the antidote.

Putin is the master of this in our generation. Only he can stop the civil war in the Ukraine he created. What a peacemaker?

This is the age of Supervillians. An era when so called Evangelicals pass around memes with the Joker as their Jesus. When Conservative State Supreme Courts telecommute out of fear of Covid 19 to order Democrats to vote at Primary polls, in crowded stations where volunteers flee, because they are senior citizens choosing civic duty over drowning in ventilator masks.

It’s ugly.

But there is always what about Hillary, what about Uranium One. They all sound like The Jokers when they speak to me.

One thing I noticed about this sickness is the lengths people have to go demonize other people to justify such evil as the will of God and Country.

One might say I am demonizing The Right, but I did not chose The Joker as my White Knight.

Epstein didn’t kill himself. I’m not sure who finally knocked off that Spy, that evil pimp, that bagman and financier of warlords.

But the mental contortions and gymnastics it took for MAGA to believe The Joker was on a mission to fight globalists and break up pedophile rings is truly depressive. It’s impressive how much free thought must be repressed to follow the cookie crumbs of Qanon to believe Trump was on a secret mission to arrest Oprah.

…When he was just golfing like it was a violin, as a pandemic swallowed our working class hopes of a half decent tomorrow.

He claims to have the antidote. It’s almost too suspect if he does. Such as when he claimed that this would all end up well for us, as in him.

I want to stop saying to myself under my breath, “the future sucks man”. But sh☆t keeps hitting the fan and we have no leader and no real plan.

Turning allies against us and bailing out banks to the devaluation of a trillion a day, is just how you turn a dollar into 15 cents. It’s the other side of The Art of War.

It’s the bitter end.

I’ve woken up from dreams less frightening than this and have simply uttered,

“Oh thank God that wasn’t real.”

The American house of cards collapsed when we decided to make The Joker a king.

I used to wake up and say, “oh damn it, Trump is President.”

Now it’s a list laundry list, “…and a Pandemic, live music is banned, we’re in a great depression, I could be sick and spreading a plague and not even know it, and…”

My friends tell me this is a paradigm shift. Don’t tell it’s raining when we’re in the middle of a sh☆t storm. Oh yes the sun will shine, but we’ll still be covered in sh☆t. Baking in the sun.

Best case scenario. I am the optimist. But there is no thoughts and prayers chapter in The Art of War. I looked.
