Remember that scene where Willy Wonka tells a group of morally bankrupt children and their incompetent parents to follow him through a tunnel to a land of "pure imagination" and then the tunnel turns into nightmare fuel. Perfect anecdote for current state of MAGA. Pure imagination.

"Whether or not we supported Alaric in his campaign to sack Rome, it is now our patriotic duty to rally behind him. Alaric is now the ruler of all Romans, not just those who smear their faces with blood and smell strongly of dung." (Published on the occasion of GWB's 2001 inauguration)

From The New Republic, January 22, 2001. Partial transcript below. Follow pastebin link in next post for complete alt text.

BIPARTISANSHIP, CIRCA 410 A.D.
Finally, the divisive battle that has gripped our nation for months has come to an end. There can no longer be any doubt of the ultimate result: Alaric and his Visigoth horde have won, and the emperor, Flavius Honorius, has lost.
Whether or not we supported Alaric in his campaign to sack Rome, it is now our patriotic duty to rally behind him. Alaric is now the ruler of all Romans, not just those who smear their faces with blood and smell strongly of dung. We must all show the graciousness, good humor, and dignity that Honorius demonstrated as he fled on horseback with his servants in the dark of night.
If one thing has been proved by this long battle, it is that our system works. The Visigoths worked hard for this outcome: They pillaged our temples, burned our crops, and carried off our women. As a result, they now deserve our support, as well as our respect. Yes, some may continue to question aspects of Alaric's campaign. We have previously noted our concern about the Visigoths' strategy of stripping naked and running into battle making high-pitched screaming sounds, as well as their controversial decision to slay our elders and eat their entrails in the Forum. The Visigoths' scorched-earth strategy—and, again, we would have preferred for them to have scorched only some of our earth-struck many of us as overly aggressive. But, in the end, Alaric and his barbarian horde were simply using every method available to them in a flawed and often confusing process. No battle is perfect, and inevitably some children are going to be impaled on stakes and their lifeless bodies paraded through the streets. Those tactics don't make the result of this contest any less legitimate.

Dumping a 20 gallon bucket of chunky marinara sauce on the dining table is a great way to add a hint of rustic Tuscany to any social event.

The city of Afin Chawe is in a gradual state of unexisting. The very fabric of the city has been slowly unwinding over the last 2 years. Researchers occasionally venture inside to locate the cause with no success. Is this isolated, or can other civilizations expect a similar fate?

I think if we can convince anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists that wifi causes cancer, we might be able to get many of them off the internet.

Kindness and tolerance are both social contracts. Those who break the contract are no longer protected by the terms of said contract. There is no paradox or hypocrisy in appropriately assessing and interacting with those that break the contract.

If there isn't any need to connect the dots any longer, is there any reason a political party couldn't run on a platform suggesting great ideas for progressing mankind and just say that all the plans would make eggs and groceries cheaper? Logic is gone, let's harness the chaos for good.
