The Demons of Covington

Nobody would’ve given a mad fuck if the boys hadn’t been wearing MAGA hats. A nation of morons triggered into apoplexy over stupid fucking hats. The catalyst for an entire news cycle devoted to smearing children on a goddamn field trip. Reflexively assuming someone is some brand of virulent racist because of it, is in its self, a form of bigotry.

I’m firmly in favor of a woman’s authority over her own reproductive imperatives.

I’m about as militant an atheist/agnostic as you will ever find. The Catholic church is an inherently evil and sadistic institution. Zero moral authority.

These boys from Covington check a lot of my boxes.

Still, my convictions don’t prevent me from understanding exactly the neoliberal impetus for this latest round of contrived, virtue signaling hypocrisy.

Orange man bad.

Meanwhile, death threats from “liberal” adults have resulted in these kids being afraid to attend their own classes at their own school.

Think about that.

Perverse, sanctimonious, self righteousness with potentially lethal consequences. Just blame a bunch of fucking high school kids and include the parents because of guessed at bigoted, piety. If only they could be eliminated somehow, it would be morning in America again. Like when Obama delivered hope and change via a post racial rainbow with glitter crapping unicorns.

They didn’t mock or harass anyone. They didn’t intimidate or bully anyone. They didn’t surround anyone. They didn’t touch anyone or prevent anyone from doing anything they wanted to do. The native elder approached them. Video shows that he waded into them. Video shows nothing more than students dancing and laughing and clapping along with him.

One young man became the poster boy for liberal invective and vitriol. He smiled and after a minute or two, he walked away.He acquitted himself with aplomb when a stranger beat a drum in his face and chanted at him.

He smiled and walked away.

That’s fucking it.

Whatever that boy’s beliefs are, he has every guaranteed right to them. He didn’t put a goddamn foot wrong. Fuck you, I was impressed. The deck was stacked against him. Wearing that stupid hat and coming from a parochial high school in Kentucky to support some event advancing the dehumanization of women.

He comes from an all boys school which is weird enough. Maybe he is a vainglorious fuckstick. But I have no way of knowing that and neither do you or the idiots who rushed to impugn and malign him.

This is where we are and it’s really ugly. Tens of millions willing to render judgement on a high school boy based on video clip that lasts a few mere seconds and a goddamn hat.

Millions who just can’t help but blame the election of a leaking bag of dicks on a seventeen year old boy.
This is our disease. This is who and what we’ve become.

Because of a fucking hat.

Consider this, if that boy isn’t racist, the perfect storm has been visited on him to become one. All the right wing, racist institutions in America will offer a loving embrace in the years to come. The rest will treat him like a pariah. It would be hard to blame him for accepting that solace when they’re the only ones offering.

Assuming some mouth breathing hypocrite doesn’t decide to take matters into their own hands.

Fucking disgusting.

Drinks for my friends.

    Michael,
    I was waiting and hoping you would write more about this ugliness masquerading from the mainstream media’s latest diversion and propaganda du jour. As usual, I concur. The sad reality is the vitriol that spews from and grows at such a rapid and toxic rate.
    Thank you once again for your efforts in trying to make people… think. Shared.

  • Linn Holloway:

    I have to say, you nailed it. You let out all that was in my brain after this whole crazy fiasco. I can’t find much redemption in the so-called “left” any longer, but I don’t need to. I’ve found it, instead, in the thinkers like you.

    Thanks!!

    Due process? What’s that? Fact-checking? Huh? Lynch mobs are more fun and sell more tweets! But seriously, thanks for standing up for common sense once again. You have more journalistic integrity in your pinky-toe than Comcast, News Corp, Viacom and Time Warner combined.
