“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

Riffing off of an earlier post.
***
I confess that I haven’t read Crime and Punishment, the source of the above quote. 

I need to. If only my big ol’ English Major brain was still here. Whatever made me push myself to the point where I almost died from drinking, those brain cells that could handle tough texts got fried long ago.

But I can still read stuff on the Internet, goddammit. And Dostoevsky’s wisdom jumped out when I first laid eyes on it in a meme. (Memes...where would be without memes?)

After last Tuesday, Big D’s words came to mind again while thinking about three voter demographics. The quote does a wonderful job of articulating my wish for the majority of white men, white women, and Latino men who cast their votes for Donald Trump. This realization, the nothingness, I want them to see it. 

Especially the “caNT WeE aLL JuSt GiT ALoNG PLZzZZ” gaslighting billionaire-simps. My wish goes double for that crowd.

The thing is, the writer’s words don’t feel like a wish. If the citizens of the United States of America do not resist this attempted takeover by rich white trash, the words will be reality for the non-rich who enabled the fascist money-grab, bringing the rest of us along with it. Project 2025 and Elon Musk have already said as much. 

In case you haven’t guessed, I hate rich white trash. And, after last Tuesday, I guess I have to hate the majorities of three groups of voters who voted for RWT and a kakistocracy that only benefits corporations and the wealthy.

Trumpers: destroying and betraying oneself for nothing is a bitch move. Your move is going to bring pain to so many people who never did a thing to hurt you. And all you get in return is a brief dopamine-hit of smugness. (Some of you know it. Post-election, Google experienced a spike in searches around subjects like tariffs and the possibility of changing one’s vote.)

Smugness don’t pay the bills and the price of eggs isn’t coming down in the near future, you chuckle-fucky bigots.

Kakistocracy is government by the worst, most incompetent persons. Besides my link about our new form of government, you can read more here. If we don’t do something soon—and non-wealthy Trump voters, you can help—kaskistocracy will replace democracy.

I want to wrap up this short post on a happy note. An example of the USA’s worst rich white trash, kakistocrat Rick Scott, got denied a chance to become Senate Majority Leader yesterday. 

And his fellow RWT kakistocrats are piss-whiny about it. Piss-whiny. Speak-to-the-manager voices. Armbands in a major collective twist. 

I do see a lot of beautiful resistance energy. I feel like the shock wore off. We got tough times ahead but I’d be losing my chili if it weren’t for the amount of insight and forward-thinking insight I’ve consumed in the last seven days.

Thank you to the strong humans—especially Black and brown humans who already are organizing while us non-Trumper, white humans are still trying to figure out why we spent so much time with some types of folks in the past. My fellow whites: we gotta make peace with their bullshit and get busy. Chop-chop.

We are seeing kakistocracy as the paper tiger that it is. Paper…made of money. 

If we ban together, good people, we can bankrupt the morally-bankrupt kakistocracy. When we cost them money, they turn into their worst money-grubbing Jewish stereotypes. 

Wait. They’ve done that already. Which is actually a good sign. 

None of this was supposed to be obvious. Rich white boys care about their public images and those boys don’t like being obvious nazis. Not a good look for the patriarchy-bros and they know it.

We can do this. 

We have to. We owe it to the world. We have no choice. #resist

Some earlier posts:
• The USA will so rock at fascism. Trust me. I wrote four books.
• New conspiracy theory: there is also a poo tape.
* Elon Musk, our new Osama bin Laden.
• LinkedIn removed my post about Trump simulating oral on a mic.
• A thank you, from me to Rush Limbaugh.
• Intersection of Memory Lane and Flashback Avenue.

I also write fiction. I have two dark comedies available, Fearkiller (Volume 1) and Notes from Trillionaire Island: Fearkiller (Volume 2), as well as Revolutionizer Alpha, the first book in a sci-fi series. I also wrote a story about God. It was weird, but then I decided to make the story and its sequel free. And all of the sudden, it didn’t seem as weird. Writing about God is much less weird when you write about God without charging money for it.
