  • The saying “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” is apropos to the situation. Voting for him the first time may have been excusable if they didn’t vote for him a second time. They knew damn well the kind of evil he was and still they flocked to him. These idiots will vote for the next Republican to come along because they want tax breaks, or a lazy bigoted scapegoat, or any other selfish reason because they’re unrepentant self serving assholes.

    A lot of the things we want run completely counter to their values. Yes we can agree Trump is evil, but what about treating women as more than walking incubators? Or minorities as human? How about increasing taxes on the rich to pay for social services? Can we at the very least all agree that law-abiding undocumented immigrants don’t deserve to be separated from their families and shipped to Guantanamo or be deported shackled in a military plane?

    You’re right, we should be like the Democrats who started cozying up to Liz Cheney for conservative Never Trumpers, that strategy worked really well for them. They’re only going to drag us further right with them if we ignore their bad intentions for having voted Trump in the first place. They will still see minorities as something to hate, they’ll still want to tear down the government to “hurt the right people”, and they’ll still hate you.

    Right wingers fucking around: “Yeah let’s deport all the ILLEGALS, lower our egg prices, and make the government fascist! MAGA!”

    Right Wingers finding out: “Boohoo my benefits are cut, Canada boos at our National Anthem, and I have to sell my left kidney to buy groceries!”

    Fuck these people. Conservatives were drawn in to Trump because of his hateful rhetoric and they only changed their minds when they were personally affected. They’ll vote with a hard R the next election cycle anyway and don’t deserve our sympathy. They were around and even voted for Trump’s first administration and wanted more of his hate.

    Ayreon is so damn theatrical that they made and filmed an opera called “The Theater Equation” and it’s pretty damn glorious. Check out Dream Theater’s “The Astonishing” if you want to hear a more dramatic story as well. If you want something more symphonic with mostly traditional orchestral instruments, Blind Guardian’s “Twilight Orchestra - Legacy of the Badlands” will scratch that itch. Shadow Gallery, Symphony X, and Threshold are also honorable mentions.
