Dear Ms. Cohen,
Actually, I don’t know all that much about Biden, other than he was just another of what I and my “extreme left” colleagues called “Republicrats.”
I used to write political satires for CounterPunch, Dissident Voice, and many other “far left” sites and journals in which the “Republicrats” were all the same corporate-sponsored yadda yadda yadda, which I collected in book titled, predictably, I Hope My Corpse Gives You the Plague: Life in the Bush Era of Ghosts.
Man has this Trump “gag” taught me a lot. For instance, he’s un-satirable. How can one possibly mock the ultimate Mocker (“The Mickey mockers!” wrote Wallace Stevens)?
I figured that usually, usually a President is just an office manager. Clinton, Obama, Bush Senior, even Dubya, were office managers. The office is too cold? Turn up the heat. Someone’s “making trouble” by trying to organize a union? Kick him out. Some rival business tries to take more than their share? Fine them or shut the business down. Charismatic figures like Kennedy and Reagan change the furniture, the payroll system, invest in the latest office technology, and the succeeding office manager follows his predecessor’s lead, if it works, or “change things back to the way they were before the incompetent office manager before them fucked everything up.”
But Trump is a different story. He’s a brute, a blow-hard, a chronic liar, as opposed to a “surgical liar” like most of them are, and a Sadist. That’s the real thing and there are definite sexual connotations among the super-macho, self-consciously “masculine” white hill-billies of MAGA.
Essentially, the racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-Semitic Trump and his Yahoo faithful hate me and everyone I know. They hate my beloved grandma, who was not only an immigrant, and Jewish, but a “communist” in the 1930s.
So, yeah. I had no choice but to vote for Biden, simply because he wasn’t Trump. Nevertheless, I never had so much fun casting a ballot. I’d love to do it again and again and again. Hopefully, I’ll never have to.
Thank you for your perceptive, honest article.
Sincerely,
Adam Engel
