Lunatics Unite!

October 5, 2025

Well here we are. The battle lines have been drawn in the sand. The super grown up president and his minions have branded anybody who doesn't agree with them, or kiss their collective ring, as the Lunatic Left. The messaging on the right is tight and it is united. If you don't buy in, you are an enemy from within. I can't believe I am writing this.

Too many times I have been caught in a conversation where the person on the other end just assumes I am of the same ilk. And too many times I have stayed silent, put my head down and changed the subject. Too many times I have switched tables at the BBQ. Too many times have I sat away from the rest of the pack at a sporting event. Why? Because I hate conflict, because I hate confrontation, and because I am a coward. No more.

I have decided from this point on, to be proud of who I am. I have decided to be brave. I have decided to embrace that I am the Lunatic Left. Own it, embrace it. So for all of you who read this and are aghast at who I am, I apologize.

I apologize for feeling compassion for people who are less fortunate than me. I apologize that I am college educated. I apologize that I am not a racist. I apologize that I am not a chauvinist pig. I apologize that I don't watch UFC fights. I apologize that I didn't serve in the military. I apologize that I didn't become a police officer or first responder. I apologize that I don't plan my week around Monday Night Football. I apologize that I think reality TV is stupid. I apologize that I don't go to church on Sundays. I apologize that I could care less about Charlie Kirk. And I apologize that Fox News is not broadcast on any television in my house.

Yes, yes, I am sorry I think golf is an elitist sport and boring. I am sorry I think Donald Trump is the most vile and despicable human being on the planet. I am sorry that my vehicle can't pull a yacht. Sorry that I don't own a yacht. I am sorry that I think country music sucks. I am sorry for it all. Yes, I apologize for being a proud, card carrying member of the Lunatic Left. You dig? You drinking what I'm brewing here?

From now on, every time a normal conversation with somebody somehow devolves into some crackpot conspiracy theory hatemonger speech about how the left is the enemy from within, look the person right in the eye and say, "Do I look like the enemy? Do I look like a lunatic?" And then just leave it at that. I implore you to pass this message along, post it on your various social network platforms. Fight the good fight. Stop hiding in the shadows. Stop putting your head down and trying to change the subject when the conversation goes south. There are more of us out there than you think.

I know that it is easier said than done. I know it is scary. But the more we do it, the more we own it, the easier it will become. We are the Lunatic Left. Own it, embrace it.

Sincerely, Double L, NJ Chapter. President and founder.

Ray, you so crazy!
