I'm Mad as Hell- So I voted

I wrote this blog back on March 9th, 2020. Very little has changed other than the fact that we are just days from the election. This should make us all mad as hell. So vote. 

 

 It's Monday. The weekend news was filled with stories of Corona Virus, Democrats hailing the status quo and Trump driving our country right off the edge. The moment couldn't be any better summed up than the photo of Ted Cruz quarantining himself in his home after he brushed up against a CPAC goer who tested positive for the virus. Can things get any worse?

Kamala Harris inexplicably jumped on the Biden bandwagon this weekend after calling Joe Biden out on his  racist stance on cross town bussing for black kids in the early debates. And she joins a list of former candidates and other Dem insiders who have piled on Joe's coat tails with little more justification than he isn't Donald Trump. The ceaseless media blitz in favor of Joe Biden coupled with  Democratic version Arthur Miller's The Crucible, have all but proven that this game is so rigged and this Democratic Nomination is so in the bag for Joe Biden that it would blow Hillary's hair back.

There is pestilence in Africa as locust scour the landscape clean, the brush fires of Australia seem like something out of the Old Testament and plague in the form of corona virus seems to be yet another harbinger that bodes the end of days. The anti Christ Trump has evangelicals creaming in their sweat-stained Sunday best and Climate change has me thinking the seas will turn to blood before long.

Is fair to say "Now is the winter of our discontent?"

But I truly don't believe that the world is ending because hope remains that the second coming of FDR in the form of Bernie Sanders is still possible. The question is, will we put him in power to counter act these signs of Apocalypse or will Biden's Pity Party put us into rewind when all we really need is a hard fast forward.

My thoughts harken back to another time and place, where the people were at their wits end and a feeling that all was lost was in air. It was 1976, the year of my birth.

The country was still reeling from the 1960's, the Cold war was raging across the planet and Oil was at the center of concern when OPEC shut off the tap and caused a world panic. But a breath of hope was in the air as our Nation had it's Bicentennial and God himself seemed to waive the Red, White and Blue. I of course wasn't there, but I have heard the tales of the year I was born in all its faded glory and tales of horror. It was truly a time when we were at a cross roads and that was the year America was given the phrase in the movie Network,  "I am Mad as Hell and I don't want to take this anymore."

And perhaps that is what we need right now, a good dose of pissed off populism with people screaming out their car windows to the world, "I AM MAD AS HELL AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE." If they could waive a Bernie flag or stick a Bernie Logo on their YouTube Video when they post it, that would be helpful. But really what we need is a rally cry to get people a little more motivated and a little less defeatist. So why not us this to phrase because it all seems to fit so well.

If enough people complained that this is bull shit and that the DNC is pulling a 2016 do-over, the media would talk about that and the stories of how everyone in the DNC and their mother is supporting Joe Biden would be drowned out. But if nothing else, a whole bunch of crazy people posting videos in support of Bernie saying that we are mad as hell and we don't want to take this anymore, would brighten our Monday and give us a little bit of hope that the world is not ending.

Here is mine:
