Omschrijving

The American Dumpster Fire Almanac: Volume 2

America didn't calm down after Volume 1—it doubled down.

If the first installment captured the moment the country slid from "strange times" into "oh God, is this real," then Volume 2 is the part where the absurdity picks up speed, rolls downhill, and crashes into something flammable. Again.

This second collection of Adam Gaffen's Carlinesque rants tracks the chaos that followed—months of governmental slapstick, judicial acrobatics, bureaucratic mood swings, policy-by-temper-tantrum, and a news cycle that refused to take its foot off the gas. Written during the ongoing unraveling of 2025, these pieces deliver the same blend of fury, clarity, and dark humor that fueled Volume 1—but with even sharper teeth.

Here, Gaffen turns his sights on the widening cracks in democracy, the escalation of censorship and intimidation, the brazen cruelty masquerading as governance, and the daily spectacle of leaders auditioning for the role of "person least qualified to hold office." When the country went from simmering to boiling, he kept writing—not because it was easy, but because pretending any of this was normal felt like its own kind of surrender.

These essays are part satire, part documentation, part exhausted howl into the void—all grounded in the same promise that launched the series: if those in power insist on lighting matches, someone damn well needs to describe the flames.

This isn't a sequel.
It's a continuation of the autopsy.

If you've ever looked at the headlines and wondered how deep the rabbit hole goes, Volume 2 has your answer: deeper, louder, and somehow even dumber.

Come for the rage.
Stay for the catharsis.
The dumpster's still burning—and the view from here isn't getting any less surreal.
