There is a misconception about evil.
Some people believe that there is a Devil, who causes us to do bad things. "The Devil made me do it", in the immortal words of Flip Wilson.
And some people believe in vampires, and goblins, and zombies, too. Oh, and let's not forget whatever malevolent supernatural forces that Stephen King can dream up.
But the truth is that evil comes directly from men.
(And a few women as well)
Though evil comes in all colors, for our intents and purposes, we will
focus on the evil that white men do--since white men are the primary
force in the United States.
And, Jesus, there's just so much to choose
from!
Men in nice suits, carrying expensive brief cases, working diligently to move the nation's wealth ever upward into the already bursting pockets of the .1%
Or men in pickup trucks with Confederate flags pasted all over them.
And clean cut boys with rosy cheeks and dead eyes, carrying swastika flags, marching and screaming their way through an otherwise pleasant evening.
Right now, we have an extremely evil man in the White House. The kind of fellow who would gladly sell his soul to the highest bidder--if only he had a soul.
So, lacking a soul, he instead sells his country--my country--your country--to whomever offers the most.
He surrounds himself with evil. In fact, evil is drawn to him, like hungry flies to a huge pile of shit. The Barrs, Stones, Limbaughs, Hannitys, Flynns, Cohens, Millers, McConnells, and Grahams of the world recognize a kindred spirit.
And, knowing his place in the true order of things, he bows down to even greater evil whenever he encounters it. "Yes Vladimir. Whatever you say, Vladimir."
Thankfully, he's essentially a fucking incompetent, imbecilic, morbidly obese, grifter.
If he were evil and smart, imagine the damage he could do...
But, because he's a buffoon, there might still be time to save the Republic.
No God. No Devil. No Heaven. No Hell. Just us.
