Possibly. I just think back to the fact I haven't voted since the first Obama election, and even then I wrote in Mike Graven and Ron Paul.

Even in 2016 I though there was literally no difference between Orange Bastard and Murderous Bitch. The obvious lies in media were so blatant it felt surreal; and people just kinda believed. By 2020, even I was convinced maybe Orange man was marginally different.

But I think we just watched an 8 year long WWF match in politics, complete with stupid gimmicks. Trump was the perfect bad guy + underdog and all the deception made people emotionally invested like a kid watching wrestling or an man-child simping for some twitch streamer.

But in the world of the rich, that's not enough. The events of last Saturday felt like a blood sacrifice. It's not enough to flip the script. I think these crazy fucks really believe killing people in these shticks grants them some kind of power. In a way, the fact they can get away with it is a very real representation of that power.
