An Open Letter To All The Pseudo-Potentates
Description
Now that the election is over—for what that’s worth—(but for the arguing about it all and perhaps some very far-Left disruptions), I believe it’s fair to say that the American people (and I usually hate when a pundit “speaks for” the American people, but I feel I’m safe here) I believe it’s fair to say that we are thoroughly exhausted with all of the unmitigated bullshit the potentate class has been cramming down our throats for the last eight years…non-stop.
I warn you in advance: If you are offended by profanity, well, this podcast segment will not be for you because after all of what this election cycle has put us through, I need to vent, and it’s going to make Dan Bongino’s podcast sound mild. And quite frankly, what I have to say—and how it is being said—is long, long overdue.
This “open letter” is to all of the self-important, elitist, annoying, never-shut-up, activist, ideological, and political potentates—elected and not. It’s time for you all to shut the fuck up and let the American people recover from the onslaught of spin, narrative pushing, disingenuous intellectual manipulation, and outright deceit. Shut up, do your jobs, go about your pathetic, shallow lives, and leave us alone!!
To the media: Your model of opinion journalism and the special interest, partisan editorialization of the news, has failed miserably. That’s why people despise you more than Congress and trust you less than the slimiest shyster lawyers. We’re tired of you elitist, self-important bullshit. We’re exhausted at getting lectured by you and then told when we point out your hypocrisy, that you know better than we how we feel.
How about this? Take your opinion journalism and stuff it so far up your asses that you begin to taste the shit you’ve been dishing out to us for decades? Stick to reporting the facts, but if you simply must masturbate your egos, at least have the courtesy of saving it for an opinion show.
We are tired of the Rachel Maddows, the Lawrence O’Donnells, the Morning Joe’s, and we are nauseated by the entirety of MSNBC and The View. The alphabet news networks have consistently demonstrated that they think the general public is stupid and intellectually malleable in their coverage of anything and everything political and ideological. But they have misread the public. Their credibility is shot. To this reprobate class, you best take a break from your elitist preaching lest you be replaced—once and for all—by alternative media.
Shut…the fuck…up, report the damn facts, and leave it at that.
To the political and elected classes: Do the fucking jobs you were elected and appointed to do and give the partisan, “me, me, me” bullshit a rest. We’re tired of it. We’re tired of government—at every level— needing to make every fucking thing you do an act that benefits your political parties instead of those you were elected to serve. This goes for everyone on both sides of the aisle. Enough!
We’re exhausted from the power trips. We’re tired of the narrative manipulation. We have come to hate the press secretary and spin doctor classes. And we are through with the behind-the-scenes, Deep State jagoffs that defend the grift; from the slimiest offices of K Street to the dimmest offices on Capitol Hill. That goes for the Mark Elias', the David Axelrod’s, the Mark Plouffe’s, the inside-the-beltway PACs and orgs, law firms, and lobbyists, and the entirety of the bottom-feeder Washingtonian white wine set.
And don’t even think about making election campaigning a full-time, 24/7/365 thing like you’ve been doing the last couple of decades. Stop begging for contributions from the people. You get rich off the K Street corporate assholes you carve up the government to serve, so get it from them. Fuck off
