THEATER OF THE ABSURD

       Many of us have been asking ourselves lately: 'Is it possible for the New Right to surpass the Whacko Left in co-opting 'wokeness' any more than they already have?' Considering that this week alone, Republicans joined with Democrats in Arizona to overturn a state-wide ban on Abortion; they've sided with Leftist Academic Cancel Culture; are promoting WEF Young Global Leaders who represent diversity for the VP slot; and---after three years of complaining about weaponizing federal agencies, they handed the Biden/Harris Junta the most expansive weaponization of federal surveillance powers. Could it get any worse? 

    Well, sadly they have managed to accomplish this amazing feat, this time via a new marketing gimmick. We might recall that, following the 2016 Election, the Whacko Left Wing took to wearing diaper-pins as a way of protesting Trump's Election. This Election Year, the Republicans have topped (or bottomed in this case) even that by wearing actual diapers to their campaign rallies. 

        In the true spirit of the Postmodern Conservative, some have jumped on the opportunity to turn a quick buck on this trend.

     I think that I give up too. I don't even know what to say about this. Anyone interested can read several articles in the Corporate Media explaining the 'reasons' behind this revolting display; we'll only summarize it by saying that it had to do with some obscene remark made at one of the President-in-Exile's numerous show-trials. However they may explain it, I'm coming to believe that the American Right is having a collective Nervous Breakdown. 

    Anyway, today is Sunday; a new Teriyaki restaurant is opening in town; the hummingbirds are buzzing around the garden; it's supposed to be sunny later this week. The reality of Nature and Community is such a refreshing contrast to the scenes of real Americans running around in diapers claiming that they're going to save the world.
