At first I thought it read "praising cannabis" and I was like, wait that doesn't make sense, better re-read it ... then it made even less sense...what the heck is going on? We have puppy killers and cannibal praisers who believe they should be leading the US, and the worst part is that people vote for them, a lot of people.

If you've ever listened to Trump speak for even a minute and you think "yep, that's my guy", you're totally lost already. And those people will still vote for him no matter how unhinged he or how obvious his dementia becomes.

That's what I don't understand. Don't like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He's an incoherent idiot.

He tells it like it is

He's an incoherent idiot.

so, he's someone most of his followers can directly relate themselves to

This is a quote from the rally. It is very unclear the intent of this paragraph, nonetheless it is talking about cannibals.

Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.

Why is it that the more detail you read about these things, the less sense it makes. What the hell is going on in that block of text? It's like the literary equivalent of one of those magic eye puzzles where you feel like there must be something there but you just can't make sense of it no matter how much you squint at it.

I remember back in 2015 people were saying that trump was saying that he would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it. I thought, “I wonder what he actually said that got chopped up and editorialized this way?”

Every day after that has been me realizing that if you dig any deeper on the stupid shit it just gets stupider. We will kill off the planet because one time trump bought a cheap led bulb that didn’t flatter his natural orange glow quite enough and now we can only have coal fired power plants. Every stupid thing he says has an even stupider story behind it which itself probably has an even stupider story behind that and on and on. It’s truly astounding

I personally prefer to just burn the coal right in my house. I like my light from the source. Not from this processed and sanitized thing that the kids are calling electrickery.
