Great Darkness Foretold

October 28, 2024 165 Comments

A tightly-wound progressive gentleman offers lifestyle advice:

These are the basic ground rules for surviving a fascist government.

It all sounds terribly exciting.

Leftist shares his plan if Trump wins this election. This is a whole new level of delusion… pic.twitter.com/BYYqVAL8T9

Update, via the comments:

Martin D adds, not unfairly, 

Did he just forget Trump was in office for four years and none of this happened?

Ah, yes, but there’s a sweet role to play, a self-flattering psychodrama to enact. Or as Mr Muldoon puts it, 

Their need to see themselves as Oppressed Martyrs of Petrograd™ is both laughable and pathetic.

And regarding the prospect of Our Betters being forced into some terrified silence, Eagle quips,

Is he saying that Thanksgiving will be different this year?

That was, I think, the bit that really strained credulity. The idea that Agitated Chappie and his radical comrades could ever inhibit their compulsion to announce their own superiority at every opportunity. It was a stretch, even compared to the implication that the streets would soon be patrolled by some Trumpian Sturmabteilung.

I mean, despite the alleged peril, the risk of being chased into the sea or imprisoned in a camp, Agitated Chappie couldn’t resist videoing his latest commands and then posting them on social media, where his oppressors might discover them. And should Mr Trump win the election, do we think Agitated Chappie will follow his own advice – his emphatic advice – and delete all of his social media accounts?

How would he signal his superiority then? How would we know how much better than us he is?
