    I feel like there’s cold logic going on behind everyone who punches a ticket to ride Trump’s crazy train.

    If you ever get thrown off, you can always write a book and do time in the pundit circuit either agreeing with him and saying they did their best, or go the MTG route and claim to be an enemy, promising all kinds of dirty laundry (that you may or may not have) to outlets that pony up for you to do interviews and stay in the limelight.

    And if the worst comes to pass and you manage to hang on as authoritarianism takes hold, you have a cozy seat for it all as the death cult rides into Valhalla.

    Showbusiness politics.

      i’m on board with all of that, except i would say reality tv politics instead of showbusiness. for the most part, showbiz doesn’t pretend to be authentic actual real life the way completely fake scripted bullshit reality tv does. it’s like pro wrestling, except they really do actually take themselves seriously

      and that’s what this whole administration has been from 2016: yOuR fIrEd!

      so fucking stupid and depressing
