    Ludicrous? Farcical? While we need to resist the fascist push, it’s also healthy to laugh at the absurdity of these fear-mongering buffoons. They see themselves as powerful influencers, but I just see little clowns scrambling to one-up each other with their fantastical tales. Laughing at them reduces their illusion of control and reveals them for the tiny, grifting cowards they are.

      I felt that way at first, but I’m not worried about their illusion of control so much as the seemingly growing apathy towards it. A lot of people voted in this election thinking that they can’t possibly get away with what they want to, but that’s exactly what will give them the power to do it.
