Idiocracy. I never would have said this even 5 years ago, but unfortunately it wouldn’t surprise me if a few years from now Marjorie Taylor Greene is considered a centrist within the ranks of the GOP.

By then the Q-Anon Shaman will be Senate majority leader, having killed McConnell during the 2022 storming of the Capitol Building, and then eaten his heart on the Senate floor (provided it’s organic, of course).

I almost thought the first tweet was real before I checked the date. Chilling *and* hilarious, Roy!

Those tweet-generating apps are amazing. I was playing with one to create a model of canonicity, but got tired after a dozen or so, trying to think of funny handles for various Tudor playwrights

As for that Trump train thing: As I read it, I thought: The train that comes to Donnie very weak mind when would see that would be the kind of train pulled on old man Fanelli's daughter downstairs from the bar in Little Italy back in the 70s, if you know what I mean. And then I read on and Roy beat me to it.

I seriously believed this was real. Which disturbs me even more than Kristi Noem being governor of my state.

This is the part of the Twilight Zone where we all realize Roy is prescient.

Molson Labe was a pretty good beer before they diluted it with weak Canadian liberal tears.

(wipes brow) Whew. Glad I read the comments. You know me, I'll fall for anything. Meanwhile, Roy retweeted and thus alerted me to this, which (especially for editing-challenged Medium) is a pretty good, succinct analysis of the rise of Boebert/Taylor Greene/Cawthorne (great phrase) "performative lib-owning."

These QAnon politicians have a very high percentage chance of ending up like the characters in the final scene of Reservoir Dogs, but without any of the interesting dialog leading up to that moment.
