AOC, MTG, et al.: American Idiocracy on Full Display
It’s all theater, professional wrestling, etc.
“The other day, there was a rumble in Congress. A real rumble. What has been called the Ghettosburg Address. Marjorie Taylor Greene made a comment about Jasmine Crockett’s false eyelashes, AOC predictably sprung to her defense (AOC is obligated to side with all POCs), and then Crockett belittled Greene’s looks.
It was an unprecedented instance of classlessness. One imagines that, even when Senator Charles Sumner was nearly beaten to death by the cane of Senator Preston Brooks in 1856, there was still some kind of twisted decorum involved. It is doubtful that Brooks chided Sumner with, ‘Baby girl, I don’t play,’ as AOC did, with a laughable attempt to gain street credibility. It was too early in history for those gender fluid references, anyhow. The country was young, with only two genders. Whatever their faults, the Congress then had no member speaking fluent Ebonics. What was even more striking about the Ghettosburg Address was the fact that no male colleague attempted to intervene. None dared call it Idiocracy. This is a trend throughout American society now.”—Donald Jeffries
Jeffries was writing about last week’s cat fight between Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (New York) and Jasmine Crockett (Missouri) on the Democrat side versus Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia) on the Republican side.
The “Ghettosburg Address” may be an apt description of what that was. I think a better description is it looked like the scene from Idiocracy when President Dwayne Camacho addressed the House of Representin’.
However you want to describe it, it was just plain embarrassing. And make no mistake, both parties are embarrassing. Both sides should be ashamed of what they’ve allowed this country to become.
But we live in a time where there is no shame and one must adhere to their tribe. If you’re in the Democrat tribe, you must defend AOC and Crockett and accuse MTG of all sorts of wrongdoing. In the Republican tribe, you must defend MTG and accuse AOC and Crockett of all sorts of wrongdoing.
The appropriate reaction should be to view this as what it is. More political theater to distract from the fact that Congress continues to attack our liberties and destroy our country. And both tribes are embarrassing.
We’re $34.8 trillion in debt, our government is stealing hundreds of billions of our money to send overseas, our rights our being violated to appease said foreign nations, poison shots continue to be injected into Americans, the abortion holocaust continues, our society is just going mad and the list goes on and on.
But hey, here’s a show for you all to be entertained. A bunch of congresswomen are having a cat fight at yet another sideshow congressional hearing that is meaningless in and of itself. Aren’t you happy with who we’re told are “representing” us?
This is yet another example to prove my point I make time and time again that national politics is all a stage show. They’re all actors on a stage.
Another example is the announcement of presidential debates. Presidential debates have been devoid of any real discussions of principles and philosophy and even issues for a long time now. But something tells me this year’s debates are going to be even bigger jokes. And the debates will start earlier than ever before so they can keep us distracted and divided.
We had Mandate Joe come out and “challenge” Warp Speed Don saying:
“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal, I’ll even do it twice. So let’s pick the dates, Donald – I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”
Warp Speed Don responded on social media:
“I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September. I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds – That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. ‘Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!'”
That’s right, it’s a “rumble.” It isn’t a serious discussion on returning liberty to America and restoring the Constitution. It’s a “rumble.” It’s professional wrestling.
As former professional wrestler turned politician Jesse Ventura said:
“Politics in America is identical to pro wrestling.
In front of the crowd, in front of TV, they pretend they hate each other. They pretend like they are big adversaries and that’s the sell job they do to us, the citizens. Just like pro wrestling, my job was to go out and piss everybody off so bad they would pay their hard earned money to go out and see me get my butt kicked.
Well, the point is, we are all friends in the locker room. We all work together. It’s entertainment. We put on a show and this is no different. They are putting on a show, because behind the scenes, they are all friends. They go out to dinner together and cut their deals together. It’s a show. That’s what I believe.”
With that said, Federico Lines of States Rights Radio discussed some of this and other topics this past weekend on our Restoring the Constitution podcast (linked here). He also discussed his latest book The Road to Liberty: Bringing an End to the 16th and 17th Unprincipled Amendments.
I was out of town and unable to do this past weekend’s show and will have a family function this coming Sunday. But we plan to do a Wednesday episode tonight.
