1) You are SO LUCKY that I cracked open a fresh bottle of bourbon tonight. I lose all inhibitions about saying shit like you're so lucky when you just had the worst few days ever back to back. Rant time. RANT TIME? RANT TIIIIIIME.
2) The theme music for tonight. Yes its Eminem. No I don't care.
3) I'm writing a book. Sympathy For The Demons is the working title. The topic? The social media war in the age of Trump.
4) Its not really a war though. More of a slapfight.
5) See, social media is weird. When people say its the two extremes of the political spectrum clashing, they're not wrong.
6) We are the extreme right currently. I am considered part of the extreme right. Fucking surreal, as I made this account PURELY to troll and shitpost, but fuck it. Easier to roll with and parody the role you're given than resist it.
7) Here's where it gets weird: The ones calling us the extreme right? Its the extreme left.
8) The 'extreme right' wants... immigration and border law enforced. Gun control measures already on tbe books enforced. Voting law enforced. Fraud and embezzlement and classified material laws enforced universally, and not ignored for a chosen family.
9) Seriously, the most radical thing that we've supported was tax cuts. Immigration? We want it like it was 2 decades ago. Internet regulation? Bill Clinton's FCC had it right the first time.
10) APPARENTLY, enforcing laws that are on the books and modeling policy based on older successful versions of the policy is the extreme right. Gooooo fucking figure.
11) What does the extreme left want?
For one, the ability laws they don't like with sanctuary cities, because THAT is surely a magic bullet to fix everything that won't cause further problems.

12) They want Universal Basic Income, because everyone magically having another $600 a month in their pockets from literally no compensating economic output won't drive up prices to the point that the Universal Basic Income wouldn't be worthless anyways.
This should read the ability to ignore laws they dont like. Drunk rants, full of peril and typos they are
13) They want universal healthcare, because in the mythical lands of Camelot and Hogwarts that seems to work so well.
14) Fuck it, dropping the pretense, the mayor of New York is literally a fucking socialist. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
15) The extreme left wants to tear apart the constitution and society for their dream. The extreme right wants to enforce existing laws and revive past successful policies, some of which came FROM the left.
16) So back to my original point. Why is social media weird? Because the extreme left owns these platforms and believe THEY'RE THE MODERATES.
17) So why am I here? Besides to study this subspecies of howler monkeys, scientific name Alouatta Liberalia, in their natural habitats?
18) Because I'm a monster. I'm a demon. I'm that fucking awful kind of person who picks a fight I cannot win to prove a point.
19) See, I'm here to get in the face of people, who are going to call me all the worst things, and show them that they don't have ideas that stand up to resistance. I'm here to subject their ideas, their memes, to competition. I'm here because they are ALWAYS found wanting.
20) Did I expect to climb towards fucking 10,000 followers in a manner of months? No. And I'm sorry I don't follow a lot of people back, if I did, I would basically never be able to see anything anyone's written, it would just constantly get lost in the feeds
21) Buuuuut I do talk to people and ramble and rant basically on demand.
22) So, for now, this is fun. I get drunk and fight and try to spread ideas. I'm going to keep doing that. Then release my book as a free pdf at some point in the future because fuck trying to publish it, information wants to be free. /end
