tRump is having a hard time attracting any new support. Without a pervasive national radio presence coupled with Fox and Sinclair propping him up on TV with their incessant lying, his numbers would be in the 20’s. Add on a republican party full of spineless flunkies and morally bankrupt mini-potentates and you have the most organized force for distortion the country has ever seen.
Had they spent even a tiny part of their effort to maintain their power in attempting to create an enduring vision for a just society, we’d be engaged in honestly discussing how to minimize gun violence, end police brutality or, I don’t know, mitigate a pandemic.
Instead we are saddled with a conspiracy of greedy shit-stains whose only goal is preserve their power and privilege. Their only tools are to incite division and cheat like their jobs depend on it (Spoiler: they do).
This presents a problem for them — they spend so much time feathering their own nests and looking for ways to deny facts, that they don’t even bother to attempt to govern. In the midst of a crashing economy, a high level of civil unrest, the looming threat of climate change and a global pandemic, regular folks have notice noticed just how bad they are at responding to challenges.
When they aren’t all standing around shouting, “Sieg tRump!” they’ve realized they need to attract new blood, so they will be running some ads tailored to attract the kind of vote they need. We got a hold of an annotated transcript of one of the new ads.
Your tRump Needs You
Sample supporters
Announcer — [deep melodious voice — needs a white James Earl Jones]
[voice over a montage of tRump supporters]
Do you have a tiny penis?
Does everyone treat you like a loser?
Do you need someone to hate, so you can feel better about yourself?
Do you wish any of those brave stories you tell about yourself were anywhere near true?
Do the hookers you try to hire laugh in your face?
Do you have trouble counting past ten without removing your shoes?
Do you still believe Donald tRump is a great businessman?
[Jump cut to Donald tRump throwing paper towels and relief supplies]
If you answered yes, or were unable to answer because you got your beer sucking straw caught in your nose, Donald tRump is counting on you. You can make Donald tRump great again.
Donald tRump loves you. (At least until you betray him or he gets gassy. In that case, he’s never heard of you).
Donald tRump will help you to get registered to vote. Donald tRump will help you get to the polling place (it’s where you vote). And, Donald tRump will give you a reason to go on living — owning the libs.
After all, if you can’t lord it over someone, life is no fun.

Ad(s) of the Day
Evening Shade appears every evening at 7:30PM Eastern (unless I get lazy).
Cut and Paste Department. This is the regularly scheduled plea for readers. I’ve still only had to make two memes. You have it within your power to make me work. If you spread the word about Evening Shade and your spreadee announces themselves in the comments, you will become eligible to receive your very, very special noprize of a meme of your very own. All you have to do is jump up and get out there and start carnival barking, cajoling, proselytizing (or pimping, if you are of an irreligious bent). You could even pester and push. Procrastination is not an option — it’s a way of life.
