This reminds me of the time a satirist called Marvin Kitman - one of the creators of Report from Iron Mountain - ran for president in 1964. He declared that Barry Goldwater's hardline platform was not conservative enough, so ran on the Republican platform from 1864.
@jonnelledge.bsky.socialI really like this energy and want it in my life. Might adopt a pose as a man who thinks it all went wrong in 1215 - so no trial by jury, no rights for barons, no union with Scotland BUT England and Wales to pursue a policy of union with Normandy and Aquitaine
