For a week, it was worth a giggle. A flustered trackside nascar reporter attempting to avoid cursing on the news? That’s hilarious. Like every joke and/or horse, it was rapidly beaten past death. The body still receives unironic thwacks to this day.

Then it was revived as satire and resumed being funny for a fresh week or two. This was over a year ago. The horse is not just dead, it is not even a paste or powder, it has been completely aerosolized in a closed crimson room where people fan it back and forth in remembrance of beating its corpse.

Biden’s the best chance for continued democracy in the US, but I’ve been breathing in Brandon particulate since 2021 and I’m afraid it will give me lung cancer.

    Anybody who is aware of what happens during the collapse of democracy would be desperate to save it.

      Or smart enough to leave it before hand. It’s not about collapsing democracy. That’s red herring. It’s about collapsing governments of any kind. A falling democracy, theocracy, or cult leader commune all have the same hallmarks.
