The Travesty of Outrage!

You know what rhymes with Monday? Wine...I think they call that free verse Antoinette.

Wake up America! It's time to get "woke"! It's time to solve the greatest problem of our day, harder even than a problem like Maria🗻🎤🎼🤔(I dare you to not start singing Sound of Music songs, 🙉)... it's the travesty of our current being where outrage is the overriding emotion and national reflex to absolutely everything🙍‍♂️. Where the shrieking, and crying, and hyperbolic exhaltations of perceived victimization has become the everyday meme. After we stop laughing at the absurdity of modern outrage😂, maybe it's time for those with common sense to get outraged enough to stop the nonsense before our forefathers come down from heaven and smite us!😠👊 Essayist, Lance Morrow, has pointed out that for the entire 21st century the mantra has been to "stay woke" which means to stay outraged. And with the advent of social media, an endless 👨‍💻"electronic brawl"👩‍💻 has kept so many in a state of rage😡 over every little thing, real and imagined. That's why we have the travesty of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Colleges👨‍🏫 run by Maoist nutjobs👹 where identity politics, indoctrination, dogmatism and the coddling of grievances has won out over common sense; the travesty of language where pronouns are now repressive; the travesty of sex between men and women which has been pretty good at keeping the human race alive is now the passe, "heteronormative" behavior of repressives; and the list goes on fueled by the internet, talk shows and newscasts with all the nuance and sophistication of a child's coloring book. America has devolved into tribes where compromise is abhorred, because self-righteousness and self-importance don't allow for tolerance and moral outrage doesn't allow for justice🏛...the only thing that's important is the clever use of the hashtag... yeah #metoo!🙊 Of course outrage is a reductive emotion, often crude, but always simple and easy to understand...just think terrible twos!  Now the good news! Yep, once again I have the solution for outrage! The anecdote for the microaggressions ruining your life. The snake oil for your righteous indignation. And the panacea for all your triggers, microaggressions and self pity...WINE🍷! By the case if need be🍾! Wine allows for compromise because it's all good. Wine stops the crying better than a bottle 🍼for a hungry baby👶 and leaves no room for you thumbsuckers. And wine, though complicated in its formulation🍇, is simple in its remedy...open, pour, drink, repeat! Problem solved! 🤜🤛Let's save our outrage for real things...Pearl Harbor, 9/11, CFP selection🏈, and Pluto's planet status. Let's not turn outrage into a racket. When everyone is outraged about everything, then real grievances lose their meaning. Buck up America...make your grandparents proud👴👵, and conduct yourself with class, dignity, respect, and devotion to what makes America great even when you disagree with someone just like #41 did. Advent started yesterday, so light the candle🕯 for hope, peace, joy and love and snuff out the flame of faux outrage👨‍🚒♨️. It's the holiday season🎅, life's good, be thankful and let wine do the rest. Just remember, while the travesty of faux outrage has to go, there's nothing wrong with The Pretenders so listen up and Stop Your Sobbing...

It is time for you to stop all of your sobbing
Yes it's time for you to stop all of your sobbing oh oh oh
There's one thing you gotta do
To make me still want you
Gotta stop sobbing now
Yeah yeah stop it stop it

It is time for you to laugh instead of crying
Yes it's time for you to laugh so keep on trying oh oh oh
There's one thing you gotta do
To make me still want you
Gotta stop sobbing now
Yeah yeah stop it stop it
