   “Good for her!” A curious thing about capitalism is that a lot of people want to be taken for a ride. It’s a way of participating in the system. In the case of music, it’s the lawyers, accountants, advertisers, corporate moguls, and so forth who get rich, and I guess the victims get to enjoy their wealth vicariously You asked for it, you got it! Don’t forget to vote for the fattest pig on election day — or wherever and whenever you worship the wealth.

   The kneejerk use of “Weird” is degrading the brand from the halcyon days of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Mr. Walz is actually pretty weird, himself, but he’s already worked it too much. It’s liable to fall off.

   Sorry, I’m not a Trump fan, and I don’t listen to his speeches. I’m just pointing out your (plural) passive authoritarianism, as you wait around to be told what to do and what to think by your favorite elites, whoever they may be. As for rampant conformity, it was considered a serious social issue in the 1950s. You all should read up on it, and you’ll recognize the landscape. It’s certainly depressing to see it coming back in fashion, led by a cop.

   No, “weird” is great. “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro,” as Dr Hunter S. Thompson said. Now you conformists can go back to orthodoxy and conformity and “I’M SPEAKING. OBEY.”

   “Weird” = unorthodox; antonym: orthodox, conformist. Goes along with the Democratic Party’s new slogan, “I’M SPEAKING. OBEY” and their new affection for censorship. Sorry, poor schmucks: you chose it, you’re stuck with it.

   From Ike to King to Malcolm X, everyone loves you when you’re dead.

   And how will you do that? There is no “lesser evil” for you to vote against.

   Formerly, there was sometimes a Lesser Evil candidate. Now, there is no Lesser Evil.

   The appearance of Trump (or other such characters as are now in the wings) is a direct result of the moral and intellectual collapse of liberalism. “Blue tsunamis” will not solve this problem, as any person with a modicum of common sense can observe. It’s what we’ve got now, and it’s either incompetent or malevolent. I don’t know what you can do about it, but at least face the truth.

    The last “blue tsunami” brought us Gaza, Ukraine, the war in the Red Sea, and God knows what other wars we haven’t found out about yet, since we can no longer rely on the corrupt, sold-out media. Not that Trump is any gem either, but at least he’s not suffering overtly from dementia. Or maybe he is, too. I’d advise you to think about what you’re wishing for, but you’re probably not going to get it anyway regardless of how you vote or what you think. If any of you think beyond what you’re told to think by the tube.

    Side note: the dictatorship of Caesar began in 49 BC, when he defied the Senate. He was sort of the blue tsunami of his day. Blue tsunami indeed — yeah, that’ll solve all your problems.
