I woke up in a crack house this morning

But I don’t have a drug problem. I’ve got to get to work but I can’t find my car keys. Maybe I dropped them in the corner by that pile of used needles. And my wallet-where’s my wallet? What’s this stain on my shirt and that smell-is that me? Nah, I definitely don’t have a problem.

Hitting rock bottom is usually a wake up call to get help and get yourself straightened out. Hello Trumpsters. Knock, knock, anybody home? Epstein, Iran, Greenland, the Pope, Trump is Jesus memes…is that a pile of used needles over there? Sniff yourselves, that nasty odor is you.

If you’re a MAGA and you haven’t realized you hit rock bottom yet it’ll be a short time before your lifeless body is found on a pile of garbage bags in some back alley with rats nibbling on the filthy Trump flag you were using as a blanket. If you’re excusing threats of genocide-it’s a sign. Think that trashing our national reputation, our long standing alliances and the world economy is some kind of brilliant strategy? You’ve got to lay off that stuff. Siding with Trump over the Pope because old Leo spoke out about humanity and compassion? My goodness, you have found the bottom of the barrel.

is a powerful anesthetic. Self reflection and self awareness aren’t really traits that your average MAGA exhibits. Anyone who still stuck that Trump needle in their arm after his first term was already too far gone to be aware of the current madness..

This certain segment of MAGAtry may even include some ‘true believers’ who can no longer bear the scorn and ostracism from family & friends. I expect a snowball effect on this great turning away.

However, I fear that with the Trump addicted sycophants at the wheel it’s only a matter of time before we cross the double yellow line and crash head on with a semi.

And the crack house has just enough spray-painted gold trim to make them think it's classy....

Lies, corruption, incompetence, violence by the government against its own citizens, masked thugs on the street, senseless war, healthcare costs out of control-all at the hands of this insane clown. All rationalized and accepted by the MAGA’s. Don’t worry-they can quit any time (said every addict I’ve ever known)

Of course it can still get worse. Considering we're already in whale shit territory (and that's at the bottom of the ocean) what could possible be next? I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that one.

the same way...hollow soul demands neurotransmitters to keep from falling into the abyss and the only solution is adulation and cruetly.

was too late. From reports of the few survivors and those that played dead, some were assisted/forced to drink the purple poison, and there were victims that were found with bullets to the head.
