maybe if there was a different thread rooted in something like an actual take on the materially existing democrats, there would be something to talk about.

maybe if there was a different thread that showed some modulation in the structure of far right delerium, there would be something to talk about.

as it is, this is like being a charcter in a cartoon.
this character is vulnerable to hiccups in causality.
this character find itself in a strange loop.
night after night, the character goes to a kitchen to prepare food, and night after night it also reheats leftovers of a cafeteria meal.
this goes on for weeks and weeks: preparing and eating food and also reheating the cafeteria meal and letting it sit on a counter.
at one point, the cafeteria meal might have still resembled food--you never wanted to eat it, but at least it looked like food.
now, it is a series of strange steaming lumps.
maybe for a while, it might have been interesting to watch what was happening to these lumps, in a science project kinda way.
but by now the objects that were once a cafeteria meal do not change much reheating to reheating: they just blacken a little more, wither a little more.
they dont even really smell that much any more.
they just kind of sit there, inert at one end of the process, steaming at the other.

apparently someone involved in the cartoon thinks it is funny to continually confront the character with this situation.
but it is also obvious that even a cartoon character is not persuaded to eat by the recurrence of these tired, tasteless elements not logically related to the world around it.
even a cartoon character would not swallow this shit.
