My running theory remains that Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, etc. have taken the message of Trump's success to be that "being stupid as fuck is a winning political strategy." Massie himself nearly said this explicitly with his famous "craziest son-of-a-bitch in the race" line.
@CanaansDad1969 80$ an hour? Yo ima start communing with fuckin ghosts. "You alright there mister Douglas? Yeah I'm a clean those cobwebs you have a good sleep."
The conservatives have to sacrifice Trump and the stolen election narrative. The liberals have to sacrifice DIE and CRT. The road to peace requires its pound of flesh from both parties.
Good satire aims to bring the ridiculous out of the tragic, push people to think critically through laughter, and punches up at oppressive forces.
This is not good satire.
