“What Me Worry” It was in the dentistry advertisements that we first learned of Alfred E. Neuman’s motto, “What? Me worry?” A Mad cartoonist named Harvey Kurtzman spotted the ad and pitched using it as the magazine's mascot, saying that “it was a face that didn't have a care in the world.”
Last Saturday, Donald Trump promised in a Truth Social post, “we will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our Country, we will rout the Fake News Media, we will evict Joe Biden from the White House, and we will FINISH THE JOB ONCE AND FOR ALL!” The 2024 election, he wrote, “is our final battle.” (MSNBC)

We still react, not act, but REACT, to the “right in our faces,” intentional and direct assault on Democracy, the rule of Law, and Freedom, by TRUMP. This time around, TRUMP and his cadre of associated Treasonists, have made it clear that electing TRUMP will be the end of any kind of decency in America as we know it. We see it, we smell it, we hear it, and yet IT, still thrives and IT still exists. We are told that large donors (or is the correct word OWNERS) of Politicians, are souring over TRUMP, not because of his desire to become a Tyrant of America, but only because he may not win, thus providing these creeps, the power and permission to help wipe away democracy also. Here it is, the actual deer in the headlights has actually smashed into our car and we are actually falling off the cliff!

If anyone had never been in the audience, watching one of those science fiction blockbusters showcasing the end of the world, and presenting the gang of the ignorant more concerned about profits, than people, well folks just open your eyes and brain cells to the news of the day. Glaciers melting, Insurance companies no longer providing coverage for environmental disasters, demographics of the very young and old, suffering health issues, crops dying…And yet, because money and the people or corporations who horde that money, still play the game of it is all a hoax. Really, those who profit from climate change, who have the profits to pave a safer way most likely for their futures saying, “Hey Peasants do not worry, and hey Politicians, pay no attention toward those Peasants, and too many sheep seem to follow.
All of this is a shitty version of, “WHAT ME WORRY!”
