Democracy Theater lays an egg

You have to feel for those folks gathered at Howard on the evening of the 5th, imagining they were there for Kamala’s victory party. They were pumped to celebrate the victory of Democracy over Fascism. Diversity over white supremacy. Compassion and empathy over boorish self interest… Alas, it was not to be. Even though Kamala had more billionaires on her team (over eighty, as opposed to a mere four dozen or so for Trump), Trump had the biggest billionaire of all in his corner. Elon. Isn’t it odd that our deep-state-adjacent media can’t acknowledge that no billionaire is more deep-state-adjacent than Elon Musk? No! We’re supposed to believe he’s some sort of rogue actor posing a threat to our “democratic norms!” As if! And here’s another oddity. If you take a tour of foreign, ie non-Western news platforms, they all talk about this crazy conspiracy theory that there’s a genocide going on in Gaza. We in the Nations of Virtue, thanks to our free press, are fully aware that what the antisemites call “genocide” is just Israel defending itself. And it’s obviously true, because how else could Kamala, with her 83 billionaire backers, and Trump with his 50 or so, and the Billionaire of Billionaires, Elon himself, all come to the same conclusion?
