CROSSING THE MORON RUBICON
Terrible things are happening — a nurse-whistleblower alleges that ICE is doing unwanted hysterectomies on imprisoned immigrant women so we may have reached the genocide phase of our national drift towards fascism. The entire western USA is on fire, and Orcas are organizing attacks on boats off the coast of Portugal — one does feel sometimes that all is lost.
Your MassMiss tries to stay positive and, to that end, let’s take a break from the Trumpocalypse to point and laugh at the opposition because they are just so, so, SO nuts. Dangerous but also very, very stupid. It’s as though they have achieved a singularity of stupid; they have crossed the Rubicon of dumb; there is no turning back.
Take, for example this QAnon lady who was tragically refused seating at Donnie BoneSpurs latest rally in Las Vegas because she would not take that sequined “Q” off her, um, hat.
Let me break down the symbolism represented by that thing on her head:
- The Trump campaign has been discouraging QAnon manifestations at his rallies for some time in order to distance themselves from the crazies (ha, good luck, guys! It’s crazies all the way down on your side!) and so that twinkly “Q” got her canceled from the rally
- The bunny ears mean you should “follow the white rabbit” (per “The Matrix” and “Alice in Wonderland”) down the hole, which is how QAnon refers to its “research” efforts
- The top hat itself is a reference to Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter, also from “Alice”
- The checkerboard bow refers to the black-and-white mosaic floors in Freemason Temples because Masons, the Illuminati, MK-Ultra, ooga-booga-ooga, I just can’t even with these people.
But now take a look at Trump’s security people, the guys who told the crazy lady she couldn’t wear her Q hat inside the rally, because they’re normal. For Nazis.
Did you ever see anyone so jacked and muscular, and yet at the same time so kind of … prissy? What are they wearing, jeggings? The tattoos, the man-buns…. I guess I’m old-fashioned, but I expect my right-wing storm-troopers to be more conventionally macho.
But back to the literally insane. Here is the assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services and long-time Trump insider, Michael Caputo, babbling about armed insurrection, accusing government scientists of sedition…
… and retweeting this report of antifa scouts camping out in DC…
Caputo is obviously paranoid, in the clinical sense. But (as the Washington Post points out) is what he says all that different from the official position of the White House and the Republican Party? The answer is no. No, it is not.
“I don’t like being alone in Washington,” he said, describing “shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long.” He then ran through a series of conspiracy theories, culminating in a prediction that Mr. Trump will win re-election but his Democratic opponent, Joseph R. Biden Jr., will refuse to concede.“And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin,” he said. “The drills that you’ve seen are nothing.” He added: “If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because it’s going to be hard to get.”

They are ginning up their base for post-election violence but citizens are not buying this line. Except for the ones that do, and they have guns. More on this later.
Meanwhile, Trump did a town hall event in Philadelphia last night and plunged right down the rabbit hole there on ABC. For example, he, POTUS, criticized Joe Biden, a private citizen, for not issuing a national mandate on mask-wearing. Maybe he meant the Democratic platform should contain such a mandate? Or something? Does anyone know? Anyone, anyone? Beuler, anyone? No, we have to guess what the leader of the free world is trying to say about the plague as he blathers incoherently on national television.
These people got Trump’s message just exactly right…
