So.

The Douthat version is a comedy? Who'd've thought it possible? And I just said the other day (forget where, of course) that conservatives are incapable of anything involving wit. Of course, maybe this is just the exception to the rule.

Gotta say; this post was epic. (Should be the freebie of the week.)

You’re killing it, Roy. “Is this a bulldagger I see before me?” LOL

Always amazing to see all the many and varied ways Douthat et. al. attempt to intellectualize the premise MOAR WHITE BABBIES

The last line is a direct quote, it has to be.

Also, I suddenly really want to see Douthat's Hamlet, because it would likely be very revealing.

Whatever goes on in the rectory

By law cannot be incorrectory

The papists get papery

The japists get japery

But they shrug it all off genuflectory

And they clean it all up in post-production...

Is this a hypodermic which I see before me,

The needle toward my arm? Come, let me clutch thee.

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.

Art thou not, Fauci, sensible

To feeling as to sight?

Spot on. Remember the olden days when conservatives thought postmodernism was going to destroy everything? They sure love it now!

"-Sleepy Biden’s crackhead son” Oh shit is this ever funny !

I read Douthat's tweet the other day. I could only conclude he masterbates to cartoons. Not that good wholesome anime stuff with tentacles and such the like either- Disney stuff. That's weird. Really weird.

What is a “miasmic” villain? Is this some odd reference to coronavirus? I guess I’ll have to rewatch “The Mask” to see if it presages an invisible pandemic. “The Mist”? “Nacht und Nebel”?

Since Lucas has sold the franchise to Disney, I hope we can look forward to “Star Wars Macbeth: Something Wookie This Way Comes.”

Props for the "Crusader armor with giant codpieces" touch: the white supremacists are obsessed with the Templars and the Crusades. My GM-sense would add that they say: "Deus Vult" as well.
