It’s the 21 day mark. I’ve seen it before. It only takes 21 days to turn an election on its head by timing the right fights (details are not especially important). Will a rabbit appear out of a hat?
There’s an obscure book called “Politricks” (some of you might have it). Its author is in the election, and the way everyone talks about it is extremely funny. I can’t tell the serious from the jokey anymore.
To put it another way:
If a work is subversive, a parody, or daresay satirical but not received that way, then it turns into a kind of self referential dark comedy.
Satire dies in 2034.
The rise of the meritocracy is satire.
