The Cobra Effect

 Happy Election Eve!

I just got back from an overdue Autumn camping trip filled with hiking, reading, and meeting some really cool people at this overlook I found to catch a stunning sunset.  I'm just in time to grab some popcorn for the unleashing of hell when Trump is elected...again.  Not sure if Denver has already started boarding up small business, but DC has already begun this process preparing for those "peaceful protests."

              An overdue dispersed primitive camping trip this past weekend...which is the best protein                                      for a campfire chili - rabbit, rattlesnake, or squirrel?  

The coastal elite liberals of Colorado (as we all know Colorado is the new California without the ocean, illustrated well by Governor Polis and his cronies) screaming and crying that Trump is "an existential threat to democracy" after they JUST attempted to remove this candidate from the ballot earlier in the year (after sham trials weaponizing the justice system, two impeachments pending on a third, trying to destroy his business, harassing his family) - followed by having their candidate, the most unpopular VP in history INSTALLED by the establishment without one single vote and then let's not forget the two failed assassinations.  I know I went to public school in Tennessee but I'm pretty sure this isn't democracy. You got laugh at this stuff, because the material writes itself.  And, trust me, the irony is not lost on me.  Here's some more liberal logic (irony) free of charge:

• The "abortion Annie's" screaming about bodily autonomy when they JUST forced vaccinations in order for Americans to keep their jobs WHILST allowing millions of undocumented illegal and unvetted aliens to cross our border with no jobs and no vaccinations.  The irony is that the Democrats have been in power for the last decade and could have codified Roe v. Wade, but they didn't because it's their pathway to the a la carte voters who still think the federal government has any say whatsoever in abortion.  Let's be honest, this administration has run on two things:  Trump Derangement Syndrome and their "battle cry of their communist republic," abortion rights.  Abortion has nothing to do with the federal government since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, so it's kind of weird this remains their battle cry at the wake of this election.

• Being told that you've voting for a felon when you JUST saw liberals bow to their knees, painted murals and erected statues, shook down corporations for phony organizations like BLM to incite riots and looting - ALL for a CAREER criminal and felon named George Floyd, who, among a litany of a crime-ridden resume, invaded a pregnant woman's home and pistol whipped her stomach.  Literally, you guys worshipped this guy!  It's embarrassing and very ironic given the current shame tactics.

• Liberals continue to gaslight Americans completely evading the truth about January 6th.  Wow, that was sure was some coup and overtaking of government without ONE firearm, not ONE single weapon.  In fact, the only fatality that occurred that day was when a male guard fatally shot a female protestor in the face while she was exercising her First Amendment right to free speech and assembly.  But here's the irony - liberals now allege that Trump will abuse power to lock away political opponents when that is the CRUX of EXACTLY what happened on January 6th as Americans were stripped of due process in a staged coup to hide the fact that they certified a fraudulent election.  Classic Bolshevik Commie playbook.

• Having Jennifer Lopez take the stage to cry and carry on that the nation should be warned about Donald Trump when she didn't warn a single person about Diddy.  She's not Jenny from the block.  And we now watch as the ex-girlfriend of Diddy urges Americans to trust her judgment.  It's not just J Lo, it's hyper wealthy people who scream OPEN BORDERS and NO GUNS, all while have having a paid posse of armed bodyguards and walls around their mansions.  Additionally, paid actors and entertainers know very well that if they don't endorse the establishment, their paycheck ends, and they get blacklisted and cancelled.  

• The same people who wanted you to show your ID and vaccination papers to simply eat a meal at a restaurant now believe you don't need any ID to vote!

• The non-vetting and invasion of Venezuelan gangs, drug lords, and insane people into the country, all while trying to disarm Americans?  How about the overwhelming irony that the state of Illinois with the most rampant gun crime has the strictest gun laws in American.

• To call MAGA a cult.  With all due respect, I didn't put blind trust into the corporate greed of Pfizer or worship Dr. Fauci, pumping experimental poisons into my body in the name of identity politics or half-assed fear tactics to boost a stock price by a few dollars!  Further I didn't throw all critical thinking out the door and blindly follow nonsensical shutdowns and COVID rules that future generations will use as punchlines.  I didn't use divisive language, mocking bird rhetoric, or ostracize family and friends, wishing them a death, uninviting them to family events (even funerals of a loved one and weddings).  THAT is cult-like behavior.

• Calling MAGA Hitler and his followers Nazis - if you want any kind of indication of how another 4 years will be with Kamala, just simply look at the shutdowns and the vast overreach of government.  They went full-throttle, or as like I like to call it, full-retard on the dictatorship of Fauci. 

• The same people telling you to turn your thermostat down and wear a sweater, buy an EV, ride a bicycle, drink out of a paper straw, beware of rising ocean, conserve, conserve, conserve - ARE THE SAME PEOPLE jet setting around the world, buying ocean front property, and preaching that we should get our energy from halfway around the world creating a massive carbon footprint  instead of drilling domestically brining wealth to our country.

• The conditioning of overeducated liberals to believe that repeating rhetoric from the establishment somehow make you aa superior intellectual WHILST calling critial, free thinkers idiots and conspiracy theorists.

Okay, I could go on for the rest of the night as nothing entertains me more than "liberal logic," but it's beating a dead horse at this point.  Don’t even get me started on feminists championing the invasion of men in women’s sports.  The American people who exercise common sense realize that...well "that shit just don't add up."

Now to the subject of this piece - the Cobra Effect, also referred to as the "Perverse Incentive." If you're short on time, as I got a little long-winded earlier, I'll make it short for you - "When the government gets involved, shit get fucked up."  

Okay, now for the full dish.  The Cobra Effect is something you might hear dropped by an Econ or Poli sci professor, but really few Americans are familiar with this phrase.  That's because it garners its origin from India.  During British rule, India had an infestation of cobras, yes, the snakes.  As you know, cobras are venomous (much like the rattlesnakes of Colorado) and extremely dangerous.  To curtail the population of these sneaky fucking little asshole snakes (I mean I'm not a herpetologist, but I hate snakes if you can't tell), the British-occupied government of Delhi decided to offer a bounty (money, not the paper towel) for each and every dead cobra brought to them. 

Well, what happened?  People became so incentivized by the easy government money from the government that they started BREEDING more cobras for the income.  Very creative, right?  An "E" for effort.  When the government became aware, they immediately scratched this "reward system;" however, it was too late.  An ass-load of cobras were already born, because they were reproducing like Democrats.  Since suddenly these snakes were of no value anymore, and, thus, the populace released them into the wild, leading to...(you guessed it)... an increase of the original cobra population.

Thus, the Cobra Effect highlights the age-old paradox we so often times see with our federal government: Politicians with power and "well-intended solutions" (with Gender Studies degrees from coastal elite universities) create our policy that terribly backfires, resulting in dire consequences which exacerbates an even worse problem than before.
