The Ravens Nest

I Cast My Vote To Fire D.C.

I voted today, if you couldn’t tell already. I was stopped by someone who recognized me and we talked for a bit before being informed “Everyone around here is voting for Miss Harris.”

Me thinking: I passed six houses with Trump signs…you sure about that?

“Who did you vote for?”

I simply shook my head and said, “That’s why it’s called a secret ballot I do not discuss that in polite company.”

We left it at that but I know how that’s gonna go. Let’s start with the ensemble selected for today. Mistscape Games & Collectibles shirt…from my hometown. Mjolnir, my ankh (personal) and my moldavite/herkimer diamond combo around my neck. Yes, that hat was worn to the polling place. Now, you can draw whatever inferences you want just by looking at me but now I’ll destroy anything that might help you sleep at night. Maybe it helps you sleep better. I don’t know. I don’t care.

I didn’t vote for a single democrat or incumbent anywhere.

This was all paper ballots. You had to fill in the ballot by pen and then feed it into a machine yourself. The people at the polling place could not touch your ballot. I filled in my bubbles, fed that thing into the machine and that was it. I was gone like a fart in a tornado.

As Gambit so eloquently put it, “You know how loooong I been waitin’ for this? WOO bouttamakeaNAMEformyselftoday…”

To the polling place…you jus’ let ‘em know what happened here today.

Last night all I got to hear about were Project 2025, Trump Is Hitler, and blah-blah-blah on and on. I know I didn’t change that person’s mind but I told them stories of The Satanic Panic and how it prepped me for The Cancel Cult and the current state of things. I told them I wasn’t telling them this to change their mind but to analyze what that person was being told. We came to the subject of how playing the Official Brand back then could get you labelled and it did, how I had to fight to keep jobs if I was lucky enough to get hired and the one night I got the living shit kicked out of me and why. The differences between then and now, due to injuries suffered then that impair me a little now, I will not be running this time. I pointed out how reading Lord of The Rings might raise eyebrows because of it’s relation to the game, however tangential, and that today, reading it, liking it and wanting to keep it as is rather than run over by studio execs, writers and directors that do not understand the work is listed as “Far Right Extremism” or at least a warning sign of it. The person I was talking to was incredulous about the claim, admitting that that was total bullshit.

I challenged him to tell his circle that and see what happens. Left it at that. Some have to learn the hard way, I guess. I’m not trying to get him kicked out of his circle, I want to illustrate how far they’ve gone and one day, even he will be exiled.

Now, personally, whatever I haven’t been exiled from by now, I’ve just left of my own accord. I don’t do group think at all these days. I’ve never done that well. There’s always a point where the group does, says or begins to think something and then the ultimatums come. When that happens, I’m out before the ultimatums start. I just don’t care. You do you, boo boo but I’m doing me.

I get the aversion to voting. I have heard some pretty salient points toward it. Still, I’m not about to look at total disaster happening and not do something about it. This is the one thing I can do, peacefully and I’ll exhaust all of those avenues before I see that someone has taken peace off the table. Again, folks…I’m not running. Not this time.

I’m not “voting blue no matter who.” That is fucking ridiculous on it’s face and you can get out of mine with that.

I don’t give a fuck about what’s happening overseas anymore. We’re in dire financial straits here and it’s not letting up anytime soon. It’s why gas, groceries and basic services cost so much.

In terms of a performance review here, D.C. has done fuck all but put us in the worst position possible and now we’re supposed to help the entire world, including being their police force?

The memes were right when the one of Joe Biden was floating around saying “I’m not donating my salary, I’m donating YOURS.” It was absolutely right. Let me tell you something, they donated more of YOUR salary to anyone but you or the people here that needed it. This is like investing your money into a business and seeing no return. If you’re stupid enough to keep giving that business money, they keep losing it and then you give them more, then you deserve whatever financial ruin is coming to your doorstep but making it my problem is out of the question.

Also, adherents to this politicized religion have been nothing but garbage people wishing death on others, issuing threats, attempting to bully people from afar and from over the internet.

Vote for that shit to continue? Not Next Weeeek, Not Tomorrow, Not Now…Not Ever, Kamala…just not happening. If you know, you know.

I used my vote to not only directly oppose it but willfully and with middle fingers proudly extended to full mast. D.C. You’re Fucking Fired. Pack Your Shit. Clear Out Your Desks. Go Home. You are unhireable for so much as dog-catcher. After all you have done over these past few years, go the fuck home. Do not ever come back. If not, we will eject you.

D.C., Democrats, this is simple. Every single one of you deserves to be in Guantanamo Bay right now, facing a litany of charges for the shit you have done to eradicate our way of life. Let me be clear…

By Force Or By Choice, Through Fear Or Respect. One Way Or The Other, This Is Our Nation. We Insist On The Return of Our Liberties And We Absofuckinglutely Shall Have Them Again. Without Controversy, That Is How It Shall Be And Nothing Less Will Ever Do. Return Them Peacefully And Step The Fuck Back.

That’s not negotiable. It’s not a request. It’s a mandate. Since you have failed to follow that mandate, you are being separated from your employment.

Republicans, do not think I’m leaving you out of this. I put that entire thing in bold and italics because, just as I said to those clowns, assuming you win here, if you get that office you had best fucking believe your feet are going to be held to some serious fire if you decide you’re going after our liberties of a different kind. Hell no. You’re not. I’m going to put that in front of you right fucking now. If I’ll speak out against a corrupt and unethical current D.C. I will absolutely do it to you as well. Don’t fuck this up. I’m absolutely serious, whatever you’re thinking on stuff like weed, walk that back and abandon it today. We won’t be accepting bans anymore. Exiling me won’t work, exiling others won’t work. Purity spirals earn nothing but my contempt. Get your hands off of shit that isn’t your business in the first place. Protect, Preserve, Defend …and fucking return our Constitution/Bill of Rights to it’s rightful place in our nation. That is your mandate, directive and job description. Again, Do Not Fuck This Up. This is your one final shot here.

American people, Oh boy…we have so much ground to cover but I want to focus on the basics. Stop being so fucking lazy that you’re shirking your duties. Jury Duty is a big one. You have the power to nullify a bad law and you’re wringing your hands over how “inconvenient” it is for you? Tough Shit, get in there and sit down, do it. Take some fucking responsibility for your lives for a change. Get involved in your local town halls, school boards and shit like that and tell these ignorant fucks who want to rule you as your better to pound hot fucking sand! You’re being pushed around…start shoving, dammit! Get up off your ass. Get in the fucking car, on your bike, on foot, in an Uber/Lyft/Cab/Bus, whatever but get off your ass for one time in your life and take this shit by the horns because, until you do, nothing changes. If you’re going to complain about how there’s nothing you can do and you wish there were, well, wish granted, son, hop to it. Don’t give me that back out bullshit now.

I have heard all I’m going to. Finally, if you’re not going to exercise your basic fucking right, as enumerated in our Bill of Rights and knowing your rights, you’re going to lose them. You’re the only one that can do something about that. If you’re not willing to then sit your ass down, shut the hell up and let the adults handle this shit.

Democrats: We’re gonna take your guns

Republicans: Boy, we’re gonna take your weed…

Me Locking And Loading: In order for me to illustrate how neither of you will take a fucking thing from me, I have but one question…who gets to be the first one to try?

That’s where I am right now. That’s how I voted in case you wanted to know.

Also, it’s time government got the fuck out of our lives. In New York, they’re already conducting five-hour raids over pets, people…pets. Armed robbers, muggers, kidnappers, pedophiles, they practically get slaps on the wrist. At this point, I have to wonder how a team of citizens hasn’t just marched on Albany en masse to eject these idiotic fucktards in office because they do not deserve to be there in the least.

Look, Liberty…it’s messy. Someone is probably going to erect a Kekistani flag in their front yard. I may not like it. I might. The one thing I’ll do about that? Nothing at all. They have that right. Someone flying a Harris/Walz flag? I don’t care. I can think they’re completely idiotic if I like but I don’t care. Someone having an abortion, though I’m completely against it, they’ll be answering for that to their creator, not me. That also means the government can’t force you to take an experimental and untested treatment. The real question is, do you want Liberty or not?

Right now I’m addressing every one of you. These are things you need to think about and should have had on your mind for the past four, eight, Sixteen Fucking Years, minimum. If you haven’t thought those stances through or examined them, nothing I can say will help you but I am done with moral panics, crusades and bullshit like that. I won’t help in them. I won’t take part. If forced, I will respond with absolute, incontinence-inducing force. Like Gambit said, “bouttamakeaNAMEformyselftoday…”

As a completely pissed-off American, I can say that I did my part.

Now, the hell you gonna do?
