    “The sign in your truck that says ‘Fuck Biden’, is that part of the troubling rhetoric right now?”

    “Yeah it is, it’s the best $25 I’ve ever spent.”

    🤦‍♂️

      Kinda suggests to me that even the cult members are mostly in the cult so they can get a closer look at the exciting shitshow. I don’t get the impression this guy cares that Trump got shot, just that he’s a part of the “fun”.

      When did life become a sitcom? Like, I genuinely can see that exchange being written for an absurdist comedy. People always say they wish George Carlin were still alive to see this shit. I wonder why you’d want to subject him to that. If George Carlin somehow survived covid, and this is the news on TV, I’m 100% sure he would stick a shotgun in his own mouth and pull the trigger with his toes.

      So, I’m sorta glad he died of natural causes, because the modern day would just be torture for him. It’s true he saw these same problems in his day, and he saw it getting worse, but he never saw it this bad. It’s like saying that he’s heard this song before, but he never heard it at this volume.
