Day 314 Part 1: Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris...

I didn't think it would be allowed to get this far.  It's one of the reasons I posted a bunch of the Olbermann Vs. Trump rants before the election and the like -- and I'm remiss not to have done so since.

But today, barring a White Right temper tantrum, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America and Kamala Harris will be sworn as the first woman, African-American, and Asian-American Vice President, and the 49th overall.

Two weeks ago, we all saw what happened.  And I will say that it was the last five years writ large.

COWARDICE.

If there is one word which can describe the entire Trumpian movement of the last five years, there it is, in boldface.  Cowardice.

Cowardice by a movement, largely of White incel men or the men with the women they have literally beaten into submission, which intended to overwrite not only the American Civil War, but World War II.

Anyone who now does not believe there has been a nascent Nazi movement in this country in the last 100 years has not been paying attention, to the gravest of their peril.

Anyone who now does not believe that there is a movement on the Republican Right that women, at best, are cattle with no cogent ability to do anything but spread for them has not been paying attention, to the gravest of their peril.

Anyone who now does not believe that there is a movement (and not entirely Republican) to reverse the gains of the Texas Sodomy Decision and Obergefell has not been paying attention, to the gravest of their peril.

And there is also cowardice on the part of a stochastic terrorist who has occupied the Oval Office for the last four years (and many on same previously-mentioned movement believe won the election by such a large margin that no election can ever feasibly be held again in this country) whom, if we had laws in this world, would probably be taken out of the White House and given the same gallows that the aforementioned incident two weeks ago had brought to the Capitol.

Also, cowardice on the part of much of the American Left.  Even Reagan said, "We do not negotiate with terrorists."  It is unfortunate, however, that it appears that the BLM movement was co-opted in an attempt to subvert it by a violent right-wing movement, the Boogaloo Boys.  The fact is:  If Black men on the Left were angry enough to take to the streets as it were, it would probably be justified in this day and age.  It is too bad that it got subverted.

I believe that the White Right would've won the day and far more than the Presidency two weeks ago if it didn't have the cowardice to finish the job.

Consider:  Two weeks ago, the White Right Nazi movement in this country became only the second group, and the first in over 200 years, to successfully storm and defeat the security of the United States Capitol.  This is the reason, for one example, that Washington, DC stands under effective military rule and martial law this day, with over 25,000 National Guardsmen to ensure Biden and Harris are properly installed.

Had they not done so for what effectively ended up a social-media publicity stunt on the most part of them, they probably succeed.  They had help, not in any small manner from the Nazi movement now in Congress, including two members of the House of Representatives who are fully allied with the QAnon movement.  Eventually, even with the violent storming, over 120 members of the House of Representatives and at least 7 or 8 Senators (to no one's surprise, including a new US Senator who was a Southern college-football coaching legend -- Tommy Tuberville, you piece of shit) STILL voted to attempt to overturn the election.

There is even one reader here who is a fairly open Trump supporter and who wants me to "Stick To Sports".

He fails to realize, in many respects, the damage his side has done, even in a sports situation, much less the lives his side has not only ended, but ruined for being the crime of not being a Good, White, Male, Christian, Straight, Cisgender Landowner in this country.

• The National Pastime, once revered, has been soiled by a movement, starting from the Commissioner's Office on down, to move Major League Baseball to the American Right, including many political donations which MAY now only have been stopped due to the nature fo the violence two weeks ago at the US Capitol.
• One main reason for this move (beyond the political leanings of many of the White men on top) is the disintegration of the National Religion of the National Football League over the course of Trump's Presidency -- largely felled at the feet (more correctly, the knees) of Colin Kaepernick.  Many on the White Right have basically believed that Black men only exist to get beaten by cops, and -- for those who do not then submit to be good ------- -- killed by them.
• As a result, and just as a note of reference:

I give you the ratings for Week 8 from Sports Media Watch.

They already are not pretty.  20% drops across the board for every major period from 2015.

And they haven't recovered since.  Sunday Night Football on NBC is drawing very poorly.  And, even since the losses suffered through last year, ratings were off ANOTHER 7% this year, and I'm shocked it isn't far more.

And college football just had it's worst year ever, culminated by the record-lowest rated CFP National Championship Game in history -- or any championship game of the Bowl Championship Series which preceded it, by a margin of about 15%.

• In fact, most major sports championships have seen drops of the 30-60% variety year-over-year, wondering if America has turned it's back on sports as an entertainment!
• The NBA is only running right now because the Democrats won -- and they've basically openly embraced the fact that they are a Black league.
• Most Black athletes are now being shunned by the White Right, a fact which will give a very interesting paradox should the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games take place at all.

But yeah, I need to Stick To Sports.  Sure...  Really...
