Are Americans living in a South Park cartoon?

Historical perspective

 

In May 2020, the United States is synopsized by a monarchically reigning narcissistic Toddler as President — and his senile, and equally morally reprehensible — presumed November opponent — campaigning from a home basement.

 

I suspect that my talk of 1776 and 1789 action and ideals falls on the ears of mostly unmotivated American Ignorami.

 

We might as well be living in a South Park cartoon.

 

Or North Korea.

 

 

Think 'Founders'

 

I imagine that our nation's Founders would not be able to conceive of such a Hell-bound transition from their deservedly admired ability to American Modernity's complete lack of it.

 

 

The moral? — Polish off your dark humor skills — you're going to need them . . .

 

. . . as the United States blows itself up with mentally and morally vacuous abandon.

 

I am certain that we will be told to blame the Russians and Chinese for our propensity for vigorous self-destruction.

 

That's the indicatively sad part:

 

 

A nation of responsibility-avoiding Other-blamers led by a Toddler.

 

With a demented quasi-rapist, war-lover waiting for his transition to Power in some innocuous basement's wannabe wings.

 

 

Gee-Zus.

 

The figurative Devil himself could not come up with a more cogently accurate metaphor for where the United States is today.
