That Oligarchy Woman
Just a short rant. I went looking for blogs I'd be interested in such as an art or writing prompt where the blogger gives us an image or word and we write something using that prompt. If you're on Blogger you know how hard it is to find other blogs. At least that's my experience. It used to be you just clicked on a word in your profile likes and hundreds of names would pop up. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I did find one promising blog I thought I'd follow. Every Friday they post a picture and then the blogger must write 100, 1,000 (can't remember which) words using that prompt.
Is this still short? Sorry. Anyway, even though it was a Monday I noticed a new prompt, the word being "storm." Yay, I can write something dark and dreary, but then I started reading comments for the challenge. I wish I had taken a screenshot shot before I unfollowed the blog. It was a comment about the "No kings" protests. An asshole, clearly a MAGA, wrote, 'Seems an "an oligarchy woman" bought protesters hats and shirts and signs to carry. Hahaha.'
I knew exactly who he meant, the Walmart heiress, Christy Walton. Well, this was a first. I really hadn't been paying too much attention to her response to the protest. I think she wrote some op-ed criticizing the orange mope, even though the Walton family contributed millions to the far right coffers.
Yeah, this was as far as I was going to go in this blog after reading a few more comments along those lines. I wanted to reply, since I don't take my own advice to stfu and not bother with these morons. I was going to write, the only thing she may have contributed was the cardboard from Walmart purchases to make the signs. I didn't. What would have been the point? I'd still be angry. I'm still angry as I write this! For the past few days every awful, disgusting and egregious act has been perpetrated by the right, starting with the demented TACO, to his aides and representative Mike Lee who is a walking piece of garbage. I'm not done. Also, the pigs who hid behind masks, who zip tied an 87 year old man, to pigs who screamed at reporters, to MAGA'S who drove through peaceful protesters, to Proud Boy instigators who got around using a Penske rental truck, to the evil fuck who will claim God told him to go out and murder people. On and on.
Trump has got to go. Watching a video of Macron whispering in the ear of a far right leader as he was most likely talking about our looney leader, and they both were connected in their understanding and agreement regarding an angry, baby man having a giant tantrum. Trump isn't worried about the war in Gaza, Ukraine or Iran. He's mad because we didn't kiss his ass last Saturday. He's a danger to the world and I don't think I'm exaggerating. I sure hope someone is working on a solution here because we cannot do three plus years with him. He will kill us all.
So, I will still work on seeking like minded bloggers and look for some fun stuff to keep my mind off the Apocalypse. If we're still here in the near future.
Oops, this is a long rant, sponsored by Walmart. Not.
