Meanwhile, at the well-meaning liberal talk show, late at night, when the cockroaches crawl out from under the kitchen cabinets and open their laptops, gasp in horror at the propaganda from the right-wing ecosystem, pick up their phones, and call, call, call in to vent. Here is our host, making the mistake of a lifetime, as he does every night.
"There is far more wrong with this country's government than one POTUS, one SCOTUS, one congress, or a dozen of them. It's up to us to fix the mess we're in. We're like Jesus in the temple, annoying the bankers of his day. We'll open the phone lines now to hear your ideas about how we fix this mess. Ed from Vermont, go ahead. You're on the air."
"Tariffs! Make the Chinese pay their fair share!"
"Ed, are you wearing a MAGA hat?"
"Sure am! Greatest presid..."
"Ed, what does it say on the flap inside?"
"This is stupid."
"Just look. Will you do that for me?"
"Sigh. It says, 'Made in... China.' So what? And how come Biden raised the price 145%?"
"This is why we should never open the phone lines anymore! We now conclude this test of the Emergency We Are All Doomed Alert System."
"Biden stole the 2020 election!"
"I think that was Judas of Gerrymandering. Nite, Ed."
