Modern persons in this country Are like that old wive’s tale About turkeys drowning in the rain Because they are too stupid to Stop drinking the rain
It’s a dumb idea, born of dumb people Who listen to dumb things They heard from other dumb people
Turkeys, as any decent hunter will tell you, Are notoriously difficult to hunt
You can get reasonably close to them If you’re unarmed; Not too close, but close enough to Admire them
But pull out a rifle or a handgun And watch them scatter
Go looking for them after that, Good luck
Set up a hunting blind to still-hunt them, You’ll be waiting for a while, A long while
Stalk them, You’ll be walking a long way, For a long time, Trying not to snap twigs And rustle leaves
So, how is it that a supposedly “Dumb” bird Knows what a shotgun is? Or a .308 rifle, .30-06, 35 caliber?
Why does a bird you eat at Thanksgiving Show no alarm if you suddenly Whip out a stick and wave it around, But when you pull out a Smith and Wesson .38, It takes off
You telling me that’s dumb?
Now, modern Americans… I can easily picture them Drowning in the rain
Now, I’m not saying that Smart Americans don’t have plenty of Good reasons for wanting to die, For wanting to tune out
After all, the smart ones are Surrounded By idiots who are ready, willing, and able To swamp the boat For everyone
Those who worship the opinions Of people who make Billions of dollars a year, but Have no compassion or empathy
I mean, if you also Make billions of dollars per year,
And you regard the people Who helped you get there As pests to be managed, Then sure, you should probably listen, When some other vapid cunt Who makes billions per year Speaks
But if you make less than A hundred grand per year, And most people do, Regardless of what Google tells you,
And if you genuinely believe In things like reciprocity and loyalty, Then maybe don’t listen To sociopaths?
I don’t know, Call me crazy
Maybe the guy who made billions Off the backs of average people, And regularly threatens To fire them, should they miss a few days, Because they were sick, Or because they were late a few times, Or because they tried to unionize,
Maybe that guy isn’t your friend?
Mr. and Mrs. Blue Collar America?
Seems to me, That to believe that a billionaire Is capable of thinking about What’s good for anyone Other than themselves,
Well, you would have to be Just about as stupid As a bird that tries to drink rain Until it drowns
Except, such birds don’t exist
If they did, they’d have gone extinct A long time ago
That kind of behavior is not what Evolution regards as being “Selected for”
But poor people Believing in “Trickle Down Economics,”
Now, that is a real thing
Because a movie star told them; Not just a movie star, But also a TV star; Not just a movie and TV star, But also “the prehzidehnt Uv tha Yoonyted Staytes”
That was forty years ago
Things have gotten much worse since then
But these things take time
Should start “trickling down” Any day now
Just like the rain down a Turkey’s neck
Americans, most of them, Are in fact, too stupid to breathe
They detest bad news and Pesky facts
Shoot the messenger, Not the problem, itself
Trust the guy who commits To the lies
Look down your nose at the ones who Try to give you health insurance And education
The rains are coming
Sky’s cloudy and dark, Winds picking up
A lot of people are soon going to be found Lying out in the open, In the woods, on the streets, In their backyards, on football fields, In parks and playgrounds and Parking lots
Dead Drowned
Reasonable people will have tried To warn them
That’s not rain “trickling down” In gushes and torrents
That’s the streaming urine Of people who will make More money, today, alone
Than you will in your lifetime
Much more
Billionaires are, as the British say, “Taking the piss” On average Americans
And everyday Americans Are eating it up
Or rather, Drinking it down
And since they can’t sustain themselves On a steady stream of Billionaire piss
America, you are already at war. You have been for over a year, you just didn’t know it.
I have been saying since November 6th, 2024, “Well, there it is. We’re going to slide into full-blown authoritarianism, unless we fight it out in the streets. We will not get free and fair elections unless we revolt.”
People said I was just being paranoid.
But here we are:
The gerrymandering race has begun
Threats of “federalizing the elections”
Saying “We shouldn’t even have an election”
Threatening to have ICE SA goons at all the polling stations to scare away voters of color
Threats of the Insurrection Act
Threats of war on multiple fronts (Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, etc.), so they can use martial law to suspend elections
Impeachment
I also have been saying that impeachment is a pipe dream. It has never once removed a president from office. It takes two-thirds of Congress to convict, and it’s a Republican majority.
The 25th Amendment
The 25th Amendment is also a pipe dream; not going to happen.
A National Strike
A national strike will hurt the workers more than the oligarchs. The average American can’t afford to risk losing their job, and can’t afford to miss a single day of work. In fact, the average American worker is one or two sick days away from financial disaster.
The people who push this idea the hardest are always the most privileged people, the ones who can’t understand why others KNOW they can’t participate in it.
For a day? Sure. For a week? Maybe. Probably not.
Long enough to do real damage to the system, to make the oligarchs cave? Fat chance.
It’s a ridiculous strategy.
Lawsuits
Lawsuits are the dumbest strategy of all. The orange toddler king has 34 felonies and didn’t do a single day of time. it is immune to lawsuits.
Grow up. The clown turd cheated its way to the top, suing people, cheating people out of money it owed them, and basically skating away laughing every time.
And that, as you know, is why that disgusting reject from Housewives of New Jersey is worshipped by the most horrible, hateful, disgusting people in America. They love the thing because the thing gets away with everything it does.
Contacting Your Representatives
Writing letters and emails to corrupt politicians who already know what you want? Nope. Not going to help. Phone calls? Same thing.
The ones who need to do the right thing are already dug in too deep. They can’t reverse course now. They know the American people will never forgive them. They have to win, or they know they will do prison time or worse.
I vote for WORSE.
The ones who are trying to do the right thing (like Bernie Sanders and AOC) are simply powerless, outnumbered. They don’t need to hear from you. They can’t do anything. They would if they could.
Boycotts
Boycotts? Nope. Temporary hits to the pocketbooks of the insanely rich. You can’t starve out people who have more money than God. You do not simply try to lay siege to billionaires. That’s not a Sun-Tzu-approved strategy.
You attempt to starve out people who can’t afford to miss any profits. That describes the American people, not the oligarchs.
The richest ones will pay handsomely for power. They will happily kick money downstream to pay their henchmen to use heavy-handed tactics to keep the workers in line.
Video and Whistles
Whistles and cellphones don’t stop Nazis. That’s a nice gesture, but that is all that it is… a gesture. When you blow a whistle, you buy a little time for the immigrants you alert with your whistles. But where will they go to be truly safe?
It will make you feel better, like you’re doing something. But it’s a half-measure:
Think through the steps. Always ask yourself the question, “And then what? What happens after that? Okay, and then what happens after that happens?” And so on.
The immigrants are not safe until the tyrants are out of power and ICE is disbanded, they’re all fired and then new people are hired under stringent rules, background checks, careful training, and put under strict rules of conduct that are enforced.
And that will never happen as long as the orange garbage bag of diarrhea and vomit is in office.
What’s Left?
America, you are at WAR. Time to grow up and accept the harsh realities of our current situation.
It’s time to gear up and be ready to do what your forefathers did. I don’t say this lightly. I am studied in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and other wars.
The Revolutionary War had fewer casualties because of a lower population, and more primitive weapons.
The Civil War had both a much larger population and rapid advances in the technology of warfare, hence the first major (large scale) battle of the war, Shiloh, had more deaths (around 23,000 or more) than all previous battles in American history. Before the war was over, there would be at least 600,000 dead.
A war today, however, would be thoroughly unpredictable. It would most likely be incredibly costly, in terms of lives lost and casualties suffered.
But it would be asymmetrical warfare, with no clear lines of battle. It would be violence springing up here and there, and otherwise, life would remain relatively normal for most people.
That doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be horrific, because it most certainly would be. But you have to consider several things:
First, you’re already there. The experts all agree that all the conditions have been met. It’s just a matter of which event on which day is going to set the powder keg off. Here’s just one such person: author of The Next Civil War.
What is the alternative? The only alternative is to bend the knee to a pedophile felon who wants you to have no healthcare, no science, no education, no access to vaccines, no allies in the world, and no future.
You will have to turn a blind eye to the rape and murder of immigrants, the imprisonment of the orange shit stain’s political opponents, and you will have to be content letting them hijack your elections and your democracy.
You will be spitting and pissing on the graves of every single person who died in every American war, the people who fought Britain for Independence, the people who fought the Confederacy to end slavery, the people who fought Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in WWII, and the people who fought in all other wars.
You will be mocking their sacrifices, through your cowardice, your unwillingness to risk your life and your freedom.
And if you do that, then you deserve to live in horrible conditions and awful, terrible, miserable shame for the rest of your worthless existence.
Think this “isn’t your job?” Think again. Well before the fighting became intense in the Revolutionary War, as early as 1771-1773, every male Colonist between the ages of sixteen to sixty was expected to serve in the militia.
What modern Democrats have failed to understand is that the “well-regulated militia” mentioned in the Second Amendment has ALWAYS been about the citizenry.
The Founders were constantly saying that it was essential for the people, the individual citizens to retain their rights to keep and bear arms. They made no confusing statements, no cryptic arguments that might be interpreted in multiple ways.
Rather than quote the Founders, I’m just going to quote the Second Amendment and encourage you to look for the examples yourself. Americans are entirely too used to having information spoon fed to them these days. Use search engines to search for facts for yourself.
Of course, if you’re reading my work, you probably already do that. Because people who have the patience to sift through my articles and poetry are generally intelligent people because I demand more from my readers.
Unfortunately, most people still hear, “Look it up!” and they never actually do it. But you are probably smarter than that, so please, search for examples that show how the Founders did indeedwant the individual citizens to retain their rights to keep and bear arms, precisely because of the kinds of danger from tyranny that we now find ourselves facing.
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Side Note: Perhaps the greatest disservice that organizations like MOVEON.org have done is to “flood the zone” (deliberately using the language of that PoS, Steve Bannon) with messages that are counterproductive. They make memes and videos that always say things like,
“So and So [name of celebrity or Democrat] DESTROYS [name of orange abomination]!”
My response to this garbage is, “No, jackass. Destroy? Really? Destroy means to strip all power and efficiency from a person or thing, to obliterate it. Last I checked, the orange monstrosity was DESTROYING us, daily. So, shut up.
Also, the expression T.A.C.O. isn’t helping anyone. That’s NOT what is happening, anyway. Yes, there are lots of temporary changes in direction, but orange turd always comes back and does it again. The tariffs, the third term talk, you name it.
it temporarily changes course to get YOU, the American people, to relax and focus on other things. Then, later, the terror threats resume again, as if they’d never ended.
What to Do?
Organize with people who are willing to die over this. You need nut jobs like me, people who hate Nazis so much that they’d rather die than see a fucking Nazi continue to breathe.
Arm yourself and train. Practice your Second Amendment rights, and do it legally. Go to the range. Get a concealed carry permit. Learn to field-strip and clean your weapon. Learn how to clear a jammed weapon. Get lessons if you need them.
Want to train with non-fascists? Find your local Socialist Rifle Association. They don’t care if you’re not a Socialist, just as long as you’re not an active-duty cop, a domestic abuser, or a fascist. They’re very LGBTQ-friendly and very responsible gun owners. They will train you. They’re really nice people.
Prep. Store shelf-stable food, water, and water purification methods. Stock up on first aid supplies and medications and medical manuals.
Also, start collecting military manuals and books about tactics, particularly guerrilla warfare tactics, you know, for the um… historical value, like for schoolwork and stuff. Yeah, that’s it, schoolwork.
Available on Amazon (even though, yes, they ARE the ENEMY)
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
None of this discussion is pleasant. To be perfectly honest, I think I am looking at my last days. I don’t expect to survive this bullshit. But I promise you, I don’t write that sitting here, wiping tears away. No, nothing of the sort. It’s more of a bitter scowling frustration, because I know that if this proceeds unchecked, there will be no real quality of life in America.
What I mean is that I would bet everything that I own that the tyrants will not stop, but rather, they will escalate.
Since I’m unwilling to sit back and watch that unfold, I don’t see how I have any other real option than to do whatever I can, play my part, whatever way is most effective. There’s not much I can do until everyone finally realizes that none of the options discussed above are viable, except for revolt.
I would rather read books, watch movies, eat good food, chase girls, play guitar, listen to music, write poetry, and pretty much anything else, anything that doesn’t involve fighting Nazis in the streets.
But there are Nazis in the streets, and they hurting people. There are Nazis on the Hill, and they’re hurting people.
Author’s Note: For the record, anyone who is still calling for (only) peaceful protests is a moronic child.
The elections will not proceed normally. Why? Because fascists NEVER allow free and fair elections. If you think you’re not already in a fascist regime, then honestly? You’re too stupid to deserve freedom.
If you’re unable to fight, and peaceful resistance is literally all you are capable of doing, then I am not angry with you. You are not who I am speaking to right now.
But if you ARE capable of fighting, yet, you refuse to, OR if you’re actively discouraging others from utilizing armed resistance, then just know this:
I HATE YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
You are a fascist enabler. You can go to hell. Your childish, Pollyanna naive notions of nonviolence are excruciatingly misguided. You have no comprehension of how the real world works.
The Khmer Rouge of Cambodia was going on about the same time that I entered this world. If you truly believe that humans have “outgrown” violence, then you’re a fool, and you literally don’t deserve to live in the democracy that so many of your forefathers died to provide you.
Note how many occurred just in the last hundred years. Now, one is literally beginning in your backyard.
Erica Chenoweth is NOT your friend. Her work is cherrypicking history. She is most likely a CIA plant, but that doesn’t even matter.
All you have to do is look around and see that the new SA goons are perfectly willing to murder American citizens, and they will not be held accountable for any of it; not by the regime, anyway.
You either stand your little punk ass up and defend yourself against tyranny, or you DESERVE to live beneath the boots of the Fourth Reich.
The Black Panthers are standing up. The people of Lincoln Heights, Ohio stood up. The people in Minneapolis took to the streets with rifles and handguns to protect their neighborhoods.
So, if you are a little pacifist shit who is still clinging to naive notions of impeachment or the 25th Amendment, then YOU are the problem. I think you’re WORSE than the fascists, themselves. How? Because I understand what they are doing.
They’re fascists. Fascists are gonna fash.
But what are YOU doing? That’s what makes no fucking sense. You are angry at the people who want to stop the fascists by any means necessary.
I HATE YOU.
You will all eventually be screaming for blood, once the fascists kill or imprison one of YOUR loved ones, and THEY WILL.
“First they came..”
And I will have no sympathy for you, because you were too hopelessly addicted to your stupid belief that logic, reason, and fair play will always prevail.
There is only one way to deal with bullies, and it has NOTHING to do with writing letters, “rocking the midterms,” voting Blue, making phone calls, and least of all, blowing goddamn whistles.
Shove your whistles up your asses.
Pick up something that will actually stop a Nazi.
Because:
ALL NAZIS MUST DIE.
Not a real quote, just a meme I made.
My name is Kevin Trent Boswell, and I refuse to cower in fear of those worthless little Nazi shits who sold their country for a red hat.
I will not break bread with Nazis. Anyone who still identifies as a Conservative, a Republican, Libertarian, or a “Moderate” is NOT a good person. Go to hell. Eat a bag of dicks and DIE.
I’m already on all of the coolest watchlists, but please, feel free to report me to any or all of them… again. I would hate for those motherfuckers to ever forget my name.
And if anyone reading this doesn’t like what I’m saying, I live in Portland, Oregon, and it’s not difficult to find me. Come sort it out. I suggest you bring help.
And STOP talking about Impeachment because you clearly have no idea what you’re asking for. Read the goddamn Wikipedia page, ferfuckssake.
Likewise, the 25th Amendment is NOT going to be invoked. Stop being a child. The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and Jesus are not going to combine and form Mega-Savior.
Nobody is going to save your stupid ass.
Either pick up a weapon, assist someone who is willing and able to pick up a weapon, or learn to delight in poverty and servitude, because you will be required to Sieg Heil that disgusting orange sack of vomit and diarrhea every day at specific times.
Think that’s hyperbole? Then you are a moron and you don’t deserve to live in a free society.
I made this one, too. And if you genuinely think anyone is going to impeach the president successfully, then. you are an IDIOT.
They’ve already threatened to suspend the elections, just like I (and others) warned they would, as far back as 2020, but especially since Inauguration Day of this regime.
They’ve already threatened to have ICE SA/SS goons patrol polling stations and intimidate voters.
They’ve already murdered people in cold blood, in daylight, on video.
And some of you are STILL insisting that the rest of us remain peaceful?
Who the fuck do you think you are? And what the fuck are you smoking?
What? Because you know there will be bloodshed and destruction? Seriously?
You don’t see your nation being pulled apart from the inside? You don’t see your nation being isolated from all its traditional allies? You don’t see your nation being dragged into wars with hornets nests?
Get a grip. Embrace reality. You are NOT safe until you deal with this, and you ain’t getting out of it the easy way.
It couldn’t be helped, It was something that I had to do, Or I’d have been in bad shape For weeks to come
I sat and listened to that Goddamned hold message For an hour and five minutes
They repeated it Every twenty seconds; I counted
“We’re sorry, but all of our agents “Are busy assisting other customers. “Please hold and we’ll be with you “As soon as possible. “There are currently more than “Three callers ahead of you.”
I put my phone On the ‘speaker’ setting, And laid it on my belly
I was smart and plugged it Into the charger, Figured I would Kill a few birds with one piece Of terminal boredom
I added another layer of Multitasking to my Very minor ordeal
I read Bukowski’s Love is a Dog from Hell While I waited
Forty minutes in…
It was frequently difficult To concentrate, with that Stupid message, every Twenty seconds—“We’re just a “Tiny bit sorry… “All of our agents are “Pretending to be busy, so we “Can feel like we’re important, “And squeeze a few more bucks out, “By not paying any more staff than “We absolutely have to. “There are three callers ahead of you.”
But the breaks in my focus, They gave me an excuse to jump back Several lines and reread what I Had just read, to make sure that I Hadn’t missed anything
The boredom, The stupid interruptions, The longing for a life that is not A prisoner of circumstance, A slave to bureaucracies, To be able to do something else… Any fucking thing that is something Other than this stupid shit…
“We’re sorry, but all of our agents “Are playing solitaire and circle jerk. “Please hold onto your sanity… “Or don’t; we could all use a good laugh. “There are currently “Two callers ahead of you… “We think. We could be wrong. [Shrugs.] “Who the fuck knows, really? “We’re not fucking philosophers.”
It went well with the poetry, It matched Chuck’s experience Of life
Always waiting Waiting on life to just Come off it, already
Forty-five minutes
“We’re sorry, but all of our agents “Are placing bets on horses, “Arguing with whores, “Getting drunk and feeling lonely, “Feeling happy, angry, nothing at all. “Anything but assisting customers. “Please hold and we’ll be “Finished shitting as soon as possible. “There is one caller ahead of you.”
Maybe that last part was Charles Talking to me,
I forget
I do know that he said (And I’m paraphrasing here, Paraphrasing wildly… speculatively, Because ol’ drunk Chuck said That’s the only way to do anything)
He said that we’re all sitting here, Knowing, knowing that life, The real life, is available, out there, If only the small-minded Would get out of the way, And let the rest of us have it
We’re not entitled to it, We realize that; No one is entitled to Anything
But the rich, the powerful, And the boorish, dreary, Unimaginative oafs, They seem to have All the access To all the best stuff
But they’re too greedy, Too fearful, too lacking in vision To step aside and let someone else Have a crack at the good stuff; They feel they never have enough, Or that only they can Handle it all properly
I know you’re angry; I don’t blame you It feels like American freedom is spent But please try to remember that it’s illegal To talk about killing the president
I know it’s hard watching these racists; To a coward, sadist, false king, they bent But it’s still a crime to make idle threats About murdering the stupid president
I don’t ever want you to get locked up So, don’t do something you’ll later lament Don’t even jokingly say to someone That you’re planning to kill the president
Kevin Trent Boswell
