The corruption on display in this country is staggering & infuriating. The bad guys are bought & sold & don’t care about democracy. Only the rest of us do, the ones left behind by the status quo. November is going to be bloody intense.

Christ, this week is kicking my Gen X ass, pop culturally. Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, now Peter Cullen. No no no! 😓😓😓

One thing the bad guys don’t understand is that the problems we face aren’t going to be cured by less democracy; only *more* democracy can have a hope to save us.

So many recalls. I can’t recall a time in my life when there have been more recalls. 🤔

My writing process over the past 20 years involves waking up before sunrise and writing for two hours. Then going to work. My logic was that writing at the start of the day meant that whatever happened, at least I banked those pages, and gave my best self to the writing. Day after day. 25 books. ✍️

You can’t enjoy life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness when you’re sick. Healthcare is a human right. Medicare for All. Let’s rejoin the civilized world…

Weirdly, you can often gauge how popular a policy or idea is with the American public by how *against* it the bad guys are. 🤔

The essence of conservatism is simply this: fear & rejection of the new & unfamiliar. It’s why it’s a dead end for humanity. Growth & advancement requires coming to terms with the new & unfamiliar.

“Support the Troops” — just like “law & order” the bad guys jettison that slogan when push comes to shove. Disgraceful. 🤬

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

The bad guys think that they can drag out the status quo indefinitely, but things need to change (improve/progress) for the majority of us, so there’s no phoning that in.

Relief Beyond Belief! THE AURICLE is a satirical science fiction first contact/alien invasion story that asks “What if someone tried to save us from ourselves?” 💫

The Auricle is a science fiction satire unlike any other…

Everyone seems to assume that the Republicans are just cowardly; but really, they are just brazenly corrupt & are all-in on what is going on.

You know how we progress as a nation? Progressives. You know how we regress as a nation? Regressives. Enough regressive policies already; time to move forward: to progress, in other words.

The Dems should never have walked away from the New Deal. There was so much more still to do. And it’s even more apparent now

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

The DNC’s propensity to court defeat from victory is surreal. Every DSA win has them quivering & their corporate media fretting over it. Enough phoning it in, DNC. People are sick of it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. 🗳️

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Another massive propaganda triumph of the bad guys is getting the non-rich to believe that they have anything in common with the rich that they are defending against those who would build a fairer, more equitable, and just world.

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

The GOP loves socialism for them; they hate it for anybody else. Farm subsidies? They love those. Pentagon spending? They love that. National healthcare for Congress & the Judiciary? They love it. Bank bailouts? They love them. Hypocrisy incarnate.

The bad guys (aka, defenders/apologists for the status quo) will say & do anything to fight change that will deprive them of the wealth & power they currently have. Just remember that as we try to progress out of this mess. Corruption never voluntarily fixes itself.

So, where in the Constitution does it talk about the US military merging with a foreign army? 🤔

Never trust anyone who says that they’re “socially liberal but fiscally conservative” — or better yet, ask them what “fiscally conservative” even means. 🤨

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Never trust anyone who says “the Democrat Party” — that’s a regressive dog whistle. It’s the Democratic Party, ya jags. 🗳️

The Left: help the poor & vulnerable The Right: protect the rich & powerful

For the GOP, their toxic ideology IS their reality. Their minds are marinated in it, which is why they are so hostile to education, science, and learning.

In addition to their dismal, foul-laden performance, the Argentine team has further disgraced itself with its conduct after the match. 👎⚽️👎 Terrible showing that should haunt them at least for a generation.

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Motive, Means, and Opportunity also applies to keeping secret the condition of a lawmaker, Congress. What’s the story with McConnell & how is it that we don’t know it? Who benefits by keeping it a secret? 🤨 Why isn’t this getting more coverage?

010

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

So sick & tired of the constant lies & attacks on our democracy by its enemies. The bad guys are at war with democracy. The midterms are our last electoral chance to course correct, and if Americans can’t be bothered to vote, we are finished. 🗳️

The word you’re looking for is “drivel” & not “dribble” — example: “all the laudatory nods to the late Lindsey Graham are just drivel.”

Cowardice, ignorance, bigotry, fear, corruption, and lack of imagination shouldn’t form the foundation of American political leadership. We can (& must) do better.

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

This Mitch McConnell thing is a GOP dress rehearsal for a future happening. Accountability must be taken by everyone else since the corrupt GOP is busy playing games in its bid to retain power.

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Knowing our country’s true history (instead of literally & figuratively whitewashing it, and/or ignoring it) is the best way for us to be able to move forward toward a brighter future for all.

One glaring thing apparent in these times is how staggeringly corrupt the current leaders are. Not all of them, but so many of them. The status quo is unsustainable, however. Things must reform & progress, or collapse is inevitable.

Nixon wanted an imperial presidency. SCOTUS is serving it up on a platter. Disgraceful, unconstitutional, traitorous.

010

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

More than anything, the bad guys are terrified of “the threat of a good example” — they attack democratic socialism because they fear that it works & will disrupt the deeply corrupt status quo that leaves the 99% behind.

Hey, dumbasses: Swervedriver is NOT Skrewdriver. Not remotely the same.

Dante Macabre @dtneal.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

One of the most galling things about the status quo is how aggressively the so-called “moderate” and “centrist” Democrats will go after any progressives and socialists. All of the energy they did not spend fighting the Republicans will be focused on attacking actual progress.
