It’s bad Republicans lost, it’s a bad thing.
But what comes next I think will be very interesting.
Everyone from ‘center left moderates’ to the furthest fringes of the far left is involved in an ill defined liberatory project that they can’t quite articulate the contours of but that is entropic, anti civilizational, and psychotic. It has room for bizarre identity gnosis, Luigi and Lindsay Clancy, absurd forms of narcissism and delusional self regard, and it can only stay on the rails with intensive psychopharmacology, sterility, and strict ideological regimentation, but only then barely.
I don’t think anyone is confused by what sorts of people ‘Talarico’ or ‘El Sayed’ are - these are strange, defective people who have been swept along by this project, who clearly aren’t in control of it, and it will be interesting (and terrifying) to see where it takes them.
I know I’ve tagged in Neil de Grasse Tyson before and deservedly so, but he’s on something of a redemption arc with these new candid interviews he’s doing.
