This Is the Future Liberals (used to) Want

1/6/21 Screw the Putsch Day.  I took a nap this past Wednesday. I used to not like naps. Now I know it is natural for us to take naps. I woke a little after 2pm, looked at my phone, and found out affluent white hooligans were trashing the Capitol building, hunting down Congress critters, selfie-stick trolling for monetization. They finally got to be hippies and yippies, and unlike the ones in the 60s, actually occupied the Capitol building.

Suck on that, Abbie Hoffman. You couldn't even levitate a Pentagon.

There were lots of expensive cosplay gear, or at least stylish for a hardware store.. Everyone was scrubbed and laundered (especially buffalo hat guy).  This was Batesian mimicry, blue collar coloration. A harmless creature aping the colors of a more deadly animal. And there were dangerous ones in among those alpha males, but most were holy shit your dumb neighbor. And then they went back to their hotels and partied. So, mostly affluent white hooligans. And leave it at that.

In my hypnogogic state, an advantage to being fully awake, I wondered, how the fuck did they get in? As an inside job, cops complicit? More than one inside job? Was this Trump's stupid coup, a Rube Goldberg machine his 10 year old mind deemed perfect to get him 4 more years? Or did Pelosi and Mitch realize the trillion dollars in optics this would bring them? A she-devil's bargain struck to save the Republican party? Or some larger and nefarious 9-D chess play from the Westworld hyperomputer? Or is the prosaic explanation of incompetence not enough to ease suspicions?

One must never rule out the lowest common denominator. So, yeah, still, several inside jobs, corporate entities and families rummaging about. I'm looking in the Mercer's direction. Aliens.  Or, having just binge watched Westworld Season 3, definitely an AI.

What's next? More blood that's for sure.

  2. definitely Trump's coup attempt and definitely an inside job...legislators and law enforcement complicit. they had maps of the tunnels and layout of the building fer cryin' out loud. the were directed to hard to find offices. no wonder Republicans want to move on and not punish anyone.

  3. One of the invaders said that a day spent occupying the capitol calls for champagne. It would have been a sentiment unknown to Hoffman--he would have preferred joint.
