From day one we’re indoctrinated to love the art of the grift. American history is designed to elevate lies instead of truth. We revere all the wrong people. We build statues to them and savagely attack anyone who points out the contradictions.
“That’s so disrespectful of you to say.”
We learn to self-censor at a young age. When we drive by a church and I call it an indoctrination center, my kids go, “Dad…” as if they’re afraid I might say more. I get where they’re coming from, they’re just trying to keep their head down and survive.
However, the only way to survive is to fight.
But why shouldn’t I be allowed to speak? Those damn churches protect child rapists and oppress women. It pisses me off frankly. It should piss you off.
Another thing that pisses me off is how Republicans are selling America for pennies on the dollar. Heck, they’re not even getting pennies. They’re getting memecoins, whatever that is. They’re trading our land and our infrastructure and our future for literally nothing.
The second you call them out on their bullshit, they trot out JD Vance to scold you. “Dad…” he growls. I think his beard is fake.
Foreign nations have learned it’s really easy to purchase the United States. That’s because our conservative supreme court justices are completely corrupt and inept. They were so fixated on short term profit that they couldn’t predict the country would fall apart if they made bribery legal.
Screw these people.
At this point, everything is a joke. I want all the statues taken down. I’m so disgusted by the crimes of our corrupt, white ancestors that I think we should dress them up as clowns and beat them in effigy.
It’s a fire sale! Everything must go! We’re getting rid of the land, the roads, the schools, the hospitals and the military. Yee-haw! When the dust settles, the billionaires will be in their bunkers, and the rest of us will be shaking old beverage dispensers in the hope that a can got jammed in the mechanism the ravagers missed.
I’m referencing “The Road.” Do you know “The Road.” It’s a book. Remember when we read books instead of scrolling?
It was better. You looked up two hours later having learned something. These days you look up cross-eyed and blind. When you complain about it, JD Vance shows up at your house to mutter, “Dad…” and fuck your couch.
How do we shake off this indoctrination? In the conservative rural town where I grew up, the teachers raped kids. When I used to criticize that, people would point and say, “Dad…”
They don’t even tell you to stop. They just manifest this vague aura of disapproval. What do they disapprove of? Is it justice?
If you do manage to get out a criticism, they go on the attack.
“How dare you accuse me! How dare you! Don’t you know how awful it is to make a false accusation…”
“But it’s not false!”
“Don’t interrupt, show some respect!”
Our enemies are always on the attack, always. They lecture us even as they loot our house and our nation and our families and our lives. They talk and squeeze and talk and squeeze until every drop of vitality is extracted and we’re dead. Then they scrape the remains off their hands and attack our children because the abusers insist it was a crime that we left a mess behind.
We’ve got to rouse ourselves.
We’re led by liars and criminals and rapists and con artists and thieves. We build statues to them. We give them power. We’re never allowed to point out their blatant deceits.
The blue states are forced to subsidize the red states. Did you know that? Liberals are forced to subsidize MAGA.
Of course MAGA is worthless. They don’t believe in math or education or books or facts or truth or consequences. What could they possibly contribute to the world? The only thing they have to offer is grievance and intolerance. Yet whenever anyone points this out, somebody is there to utter, “Dad…”
I’m told to be silent even before I’ve begun to speak. Meanwhile the oppressors never face any headwinds.
When it comes to my objection, what is the complaint? What is the complaint?
Why should there be an expectation that I stand silently by as these monstrous people set the world on fire? If you want to criticize something, criticize them and their lack of humanity. Criticize their entitlement and destruction.
Don’t criticize the person who points it out. Doing nothing won’t make it go away. They’re going to burn us all down no matter what we do. We can’t get it worse if we call out that we want them to stop.
So call it out damn it!
Call it out!
The worthless, useless, inept, grifter president is selling the whole nation. He’s loading our possessions into boxes and giving them away. He’s laughing all the while. He’s pointing his finger and calling us “communists” even though he’s taken more taxpayer money than anyone.
They talk and they talk and they talk.
You never get a chance for a rebuttal. If you try to speak, they become hostile. “How dare you interrupt, I’m speaking.”
But they’re not just speaking, they’re thieving. They’re murdering and raping and stealing. Decorum be damned, this has to stop!
The Republicans are running a fire sale because they don’t care about the future. All they care about is the illusion of profit. But there is no profit if their actions mean that we’ll all die.
They want us all to die!
Absolutely everything they say and believe and stand for is a lie.
Somehow they managed to even indoctrinate my children to believe that this is something we should abide. There’s no space for reason, education, compassion, or humanity.
Conservatives destroy everything they touch. They always have and they always will. It’s a parasitic ideology. But I’m not even allowed to stand on a street corner and say so. If I do, I’ll be arrested and replaced with some unlicensed priests who bleats all about the most horrific parts of the Bible. He’ll discuss the child rapes and the slavery and then he’ll accuse you for intolerance if you try to oppose him from grooming and indoctrinating your babies.
He will be allowed to get away with it by people in your community. They’ll try to stop you instead of him.
That’s where the battle is. It’s further up the line.
We can’t be content to interrupt a rape, we have to stop the rape from ever happening. We can’t be content to halt the theft, we have to stop the thieves from becoming so emboldened.
Our challenge is psychological. We have to rewire our brains.
Encourage your friends and allies to call out injustice even when it grates against cultural decorum. Your action will become like sandpaper. We’ll reform our culture into something history will admire. We must.
Conservatives and Republicans are killing us. Stop enabling them.
Don’t be mad at me for calling Republicans child rapists.
Be mad at the Republicans for raping children.

This is a fabulous, important piece. It’s the ground level emotion of where we ought to be. He is not just talking about churches. He is talking about the most important thing of all: now— all of us— are seeing as common phenomenon: evil people presenting as virtuous, getting away with all kinds of appalling shit — yelling at us to show respect as they do it— and now it is clear: the only thing to do is to call it out .
Yesterday the news was that immigrants from various countries were deported to the Central African Republic. A brave reporter went to Africa and interviewed some of these poor souls. They are in utter hell. I thought, fuck everything else, we should all be out in the streets crying.
Thank you for writing this brave bottom-truth piece. It is spot on the mark. Where we all should be right now.
At this point, I can see why the military in other nations engage in coups if they think the elected leader is doing a lousy job...
