Oh My God! The Mid-Term Elections Actually Took Place.
Over the last couple of months, from the way the Fake News was carrying on, we weren’t going to have a mid-term election at all. The political system was on the verge of collapse or about to be transformed into a Fascist state, or maybe even worse. And of course, we had Donald Trump going around the country getting his MAGA hordes ready to assault and destroy every location which was receiving and counting votes.
Then guess what? Tuesday’s mid-term was as quiet and uneventful as any election we have ever had. A couple of putzes showed up at a voting station in Arizona with their assault rifles and their fatigues but were quickly told to disappear, which they did. And that was it.
But this is no good. We can’t have elections going on as usual and keep anyone worried about whether we are drifting into anarcho-Fascism which is what we need to do in order to keep user numbers up.
I’ve got it! We’ll start talking about the ‘threat’ represented by ‘election deniers’ who were more than half(!) the GOP candidates on last Tuesday’s ballot. And if some of them didn’t win, so what? They’re still out there and even if they didn’t gain political power in every state, they’ll be back in force over the next two years.
