Lest We Furr-get: JFK 58


By Zamboni

Please add to the list of respected political norms violated by Republicans and Qidiots the solemn meaning of November 22, 1963. Every year on this date, we pause and remember what was and what might have been, and it all makes us very sad.

But today, QAnon fools gathered in Dallas to greet the (most recent) expected appearance of John F. Kennedy, Jr. — who, they're convinced, will run with Trump on his 2024 return-to-glory ticket, even though he tragically died with his wife and sister-in-law in 1999.

We don't get any of this Q crap, since John Jr. was a Democrat and definitely not a Trumpster. But nevertheless, there in Dallas they were.

Before any young people get weird ideas about what the Kennedy assassination did to America, and are tempted to think that it was just a thing that nutcases were able to warp into meaninglessness nearly 60 years later, allow us cats, who have nine lives, to assure them: Today is the anniversary of an event that scarred us forever, as a nation and as individuals. Many Americans who were children at the time (and who were too young to understand the Cuban Missile Crisis, one year earlier) learned on November 22 that the world was not a safe, friendly place. The rest of the decade went downhill from there.

And by the way, we'd really appreciate it if the Q nuts would let up on the JFK Jr. stuff. His death is depressing enough already. We cats HISS.
