No Kings

There's a guy at work who was trying to get people to join one of his No Kings rallies this weekend. He didn't end up going, so as far as I know, nobody signed on. Not even sure if half of the people he invited even caught on to what he was asking them to do.

Can you imagine being so clueless and lacking in self-awareness that you call your protest "No Kings" after you 1) refused to hold a primary, 2) tried to anoint Kamala without a single vote, 3) tried to throw your opponent off the ballot through shady lawfare, 4) took all kinds of money from shadowy dark money NGOs who desire to pull the strings behind the scenes, and 5) most egregiously had one of your radical cultists literally assassinate people who voted for things that you didn't like? And this because the guy that you're accusing of being a "King" is trying to enforce the law that the majority of the populace strongly supports, and that majority is growing literally daily?

And these are the people who, when I say that Trump is at least the best president since Andrew Jackson ask "what about Lincoln or FDR?" No Kings indeed. You can't work with that kind of ignorance, but that kind of ignorance can only happen if you aggressively avoid trying to find out anything that contradicts your bougie cult beliefs.

Being a leftist with a straight face has got to be pretty hard these days. I'm sure that there are some ignorant suckers that make up this crowd; I even know some of them, but exactly how ignorant can you be and how much of a sucker to not start noticing that your stupid ideas about reality and actual reality don't line up? Maybe that's why they have so much anxiety and are prone to so much violence, actually. That cognitive dissonance makes them try to force reality to match their vision.

What a crazy time to be alive. Maybe in the grand scheme of things, the zeitgeist change is happening lightning fast, but I wish it would happen faster. The sooner this crazy left wing cult falls out of favor and is seen for what it is instead of a boutique prestige set of positional, luxury beliefs to virtue-signal to other would-be Cloud People, the better we'll all be.

UPDATE: Not really worth it's own post, but what does this look like online?

That's what I should have called Ad Astra / Space Opera X. I guess now I will... if I ever do anything with it again.
