An Ode To The Low-Information Voter



Because I know you are so very very busy
That you have no time to know anything at all
I will keep this brief.

I know you are far too busy driving Chinese toys and 
Cigarettes and
Pressboard furniture across the continent 
To pay attention to anything
Except double-clutching and yellow lines, and
The radio,
Which is playing Hannity and Rogan and Savage and Levin and Beck and 
Shapiro and
Kirk and 
Savage and
Prager and 
Larson, and, of course,
The game, and
Maybe you have just enough time to stop off in that Ohio diner and 
Tell to the New York Times foreign correspondents 
Permanently stationed there
About the caravans of illegals and
The price of eggs and 
Shoplifting in San Diego and yet
You are also a single mother
Raising nine kids and
Working nine jobs who
Has no time to think about anything except
Making correct change and getting the order right, and
Who is up and who is out on the Masked Singer, and
Can you believe the bullshit judging on Dancing the the Stars, and
Dropping in on focus groups to explain about how tariffs work, and
The illegals making houses so expensive, and
Why Kamala Harris cannot be trusted,
(Did you know that she slept her way to the top, and
Her father is a communist!) and
You remember hearing something about January sixth or
Maybe it was the seventh, whatever, 
You're not exactly sure what, but
Strangely you are also 24 and a dude and have no girlfriend,
Which is fine, really, fine, because you are just crazy busy all the time
With...stuff like Call of Duty and GTO and Diablo 4, and
Your shitty job where customers ask the stupidest questions, and
Bitch about everything like you're Mr. CVS, and
How come fucking Joe Biden will pay off those rich college fuckers bills, but
Won't make weed legal in your state, and
Someday you're going to be making real money with MMA
Because you practice your moves in your garage, but
It's hard to relax when everything is so fucked up, like, uh, like,
Y'know the price of stuff and crime and shit, and 
What we need is a badass MMA guy to kick some ass because,
Respect, gotta have respect,
Chicks go for that like magnets, and
You remember hearing on Twitter something about 
COVID being a scam, and somehow 
You're also a retired couple, living well, but 
You hear all these things,
On the news, and
It's all so bad,
So, so bad,
Never been so bad,
Sure you're doing ok, but out there, just over the horizon,
The country is in ruins, and
Unemployment has never been higher, and 
DEI caused the California wildfires, and 
What's going on on college campuses which is just shameful, and
Inflation is out of control, and 
Crime gangs run the Blue cities, and,
The government is giving all our money to moochers and foreign wars, and
Everyone knows Biden was being controlled by you-know-who, and
Do your own research because everything is out of control, and 
It's never been this bad before
Ever.

Bukowski would be proud. Three thumbs up, all to eleven.

Thanks for that.

Also, the Incels are fairly certain that if they vote for the fascist, they're going to get 10/10 obedient and subservient women, because

The MAGA walkers and the vulnerable minds will find their Eden as the FOX and media feed them what they continue to hunger for. They will will still live in their mentally ill state.
Sure some will have such an allergic reaction they to become never Trumpers like all the rest as Mike Steele and . Who cannot admit they brought this to us as they still demonize their hatred for those that are something other than NAZIS
Theose that move to a glimmer of light discontent with the MAGA. Will turn to those they perpetrated and targeted so much hatred for. Only because they are no longer useful zombies.
Like the Steve Bannon who was at the pinnacle of the Cult to destroy America as we know it because (reasons).
Bannon now turns to never Trumpers and makes attempts to collect anyone who will ad to his follower numbers. NO, he won't stand with the left but he will lure and urge the left to stand with him. Stand with him to bring down the government he always clamored for but now, the Trump/ GOP government which will leave us with no government.

As the evangelicals believe they are about to become America's version of the Iran Moolah. They are about to find out something they will deny profusely like a republican denying Trump lost the 2020 election. It will harn their false cultish religions as well as the more established main stream religions. More than their hated Satan or a atheist could ever do.
