Donald Trump is an evil man, but his political enemies are evil, too

By David McElroy · January 3, 2021

I question the judgment of anyone who has ever supported Donald Trump in any way.

Trump was a liar and a fraud as a businessman. That was plain to anybody who honestly listened to him for many years, far before he got into politics. He has no ethics. He has no principles. He has no moral compass. If you understand narcissist personality disorder (NPD), you know he’s mentally ill.

That doesn’t mean I support any of his opponents, of course, because they are simply different brands of evil. Just because Trump is a mentally ill fraud and liar, that doesn’t make the more mainstream politicians any less evil.

Anyone who can keep supporting Trump at this point is being willfully blind to his unique brand of evil. He is like a mafia crime boss who will do anything — tell any lie, break any rule, cross any line — to hold onto power.

But even with all of this said, the truth is that it is a waste of your time and energy to debate about Donald Trump or Joe Biden or any of these other charlatans. Your future is going to be determined by the decisions you make — not who wins political power struggles.

If you are focused on Trump and Biden — or if you see any politician as your savior — you’re laying the foundation for your own destruction.

I don’t like to write about politics anymore. That’s partly because whatever I say is going to anger a lot of people who are unwilling to rethink what they’ve been taught, but it’s mostly because all of this is such an incredible waste of time.

I spent more than 20 years working as a consultant in state GOP politics. I turned against the entire system for deeply philosophical reasons, but even if I still believed the civic-minded propaganda which I grew up believing, I can tell you without reservation that both sides are just as evil.

They have different rhetoric. There are surface-level differences between the two sides. But under the surface, the vast majority of them are the same sort of power-hungry charlatans who want your money and want their egos stroked. And the more successful they are, the worse they tend to be, no matter how well-mannered they learn to act in public.

(I was once one of them. I wanted power, too. I know what it’s like to be seduced by this darkness.)

Most of you have bought the evil notion that you are required to choose one side or the other. Even if you agree they’re both evil, you believe it’s your duty to choose the lesser of the two evils. But this is insane, especially in the long run.

What you see around you today is the result of choosing “the lesser of two evils” for generation after generation. It’s not getting better. It’s getting worse. And every time “the other side” seems to get more evil, most of you think that justifies you supporting a more powerful evil on your own side. And then you turn a blind eye to the evil which you have enabled.

All this means is that you are actively supporting evil. What’s worse, it means you are wasting your time and attention on something which you can’t control — and you’re wasting your opportunity to make decisions and take actions to prepare your own life for the disaster which politicians have created for us.

It didn’t matter who won the 2020 presidential election. It doesn’t matter who wins the election in four years. The fiscal situation is so bad and the cultural rot is so deep that this society is doomed to some form of collapse — political, social, economic — no matter who is in charge.

Worrying about who is in charge right now is like fighting over who mans the bridge of the Titanic after it’s already hit the iceberg. The ship is going down. The best thing you can do is focus on saving yourself and your family. You are wasting your time, energy and effort to fight old battles which have no significance.

There’s still time to make decisions about saving your own family and finding places where you can escape the dark days ahead. But time is running out.

When Noah started building an ark to escape a coming flood, everybody thought he was crazy. They all kept living their normal lives, both the most decent people and the most sinful people. But once the rain started, only those who had been prepared were able to escape the awful flood. The rest of them — both good and bad — were killed by the flood.

In a metaphorical way, that is where we are today.

If you keep watching television news and reading angry posts online — fighting with others about who is right and who is wrong in Washington — you’re not going to notice when it starts raining. You’re going to be so focused on people who are all going to be washed away that you will lose your own life, too. And your negligence is going to doom your children as well.

It’s time to ignore the evil politicians who want to control our lives. We can’t stop them and it wouldn’t make any difference anyway.

You had better start building your ark, because some of us know that it’s already starting to rain — and there’s a terrible flood coming when we least expect it.

Meet my new girlfriend. Her name is Meg. And she’s my little sweetheart. A couple of months ago, a neighbor across the street told me about a new stray in the neighborhood that she and I were both soon feeding. The cat had been very skittish about contact and she had a lot of scabs and parasites in her fur, but a trip to the vet last week revealed that she was otherwise in good health. The vet estimates her to be 1 to 2 years old. I named her for Meg Murry, the 13-year-old protagonist of Madeleine L’Engle’s wonderful book, “A Wrinkle in Time.” (Please read the book. Don’t watch the horrible movie.) Since we lost Lucy almost a year ago, it seems appropriate that we finally have a new little girl to join the household. She’s already captured my heart, but Alex, Oliver and Sam aren’t there quite yet.

There’s nothing socially acceptable that’s as dangerous as drinking alcohol. Most people grow up being told to “drink responsibly” — and all of us see people abusing this drug in one way or another — but the truth is that drinking alcohol is always a terrible risk. The alcohol in these drinks is toxic and the human liver has to work hard to filter the toxins out. What most people don’t realize is that alcohol is classified as a known carcinogen by the World Health Organization — because of the well-established connection between imbibing and various cancers. Many people have taken refuge behind the idea that light or moderate drinking might be safe, but a new study shows that drinking even one drink a day increases the risks of 10 types of cancer. When I was a teen-ager, I looked around and saw the negative effects that this behavior had on a lot of people and decided not to start drinking, so I’ve never even tried this poison. The evidence keeps piling up that I was lucky to have come to that conclusion early.

It hasn’t happened yet, but there’s a possibility that I might be taking in a fourth feline. A couple of months ago, a cat-loving neighbor asked whether I’d seen a “tuxedo cat” hanging out in the neighborhood. I hadn’t, but this guy eventually wandered past my house a few weeks later — and we haven’t been able to find evidence that he has a home. I’ve been giving him water and food for the last week and he finally let me pet him two nights ago. He’s purred for me two nights in a row and he let me take a low-quality selfie with him Thursday night. Tonight, though, he let me pick him up and bring him inside to look around. This went surprisingly well, as you can see from this photo. I don’t know whether he’ll be joining the family, but I’m certain that Alex, Oliver and Sam would vote no, at least until they get to know him. I’m trying to make certain he doesn’t have a home, but if he does join us, what do you suppose his name will be?

It turns out that the radical far left has been training “Antifa cats” to sabotage anything important to Donald Trump. Everything he did was perfect. Honest. It was all the cats’ fault. Arrest all the cats! This is the latest of my ridiculous satirical shorts. Please go watch it. Then “like” it and subscribe. Please. I’m begging you. (Too much?) Although a couple of the previous videos have had views in the hundreds, most have still been seen by fewer than 20 people. So I seem to be having trouble letting people know that page exists.

Here’s the latest of my ridiculous parody shorts. It crossed my mind Tuesday to wonder what a slick and fast-talking car dealer might do right now to try to turn the high price of gasoline to his advantage. So I conceived of a fat and lovable character who tried to sell cars that don’t use any fuel — and then I started wondering if it would be funnier if all the characters were felines. Designing the King Cashpaw character took about four hours, but the rest took only another four hours, so this was a relatively quick piece that virtually wrote itself. I know it’s almost impossible for these parody videos to find a larger audience, but at least they amuse me — and there are 19 of them on my YouTube page now. The first few were very limited, but they’re getting more complex.
