There was a time when, as my presumptive civic duty, I would watch the key speeches from both conventions, even when I already knew for whom I'd vote. Just can't even think of doing that anymore. Can't watch snippets. Can't read quotes. That's how bad they've gotten. We might as well have AI do it - at least it might be interesting.

That's exactly why following politics has become such a, even more, miserable experience. It's all part of the grand strategic plan. Our (would be?) global overlords want us to come to prefer AI produced simulations over reality.

Is it a con? Is it a coup? It certainly isnтАЩt democracy.

Our betters are preparing us for the coming of The Simulation, to be governed in accordance with democratic principles, in which all avatars will have an equal vote. With the understanding, of course, that certain avatars will remain, as always, more equal than others.

IsnтАЩt AI already doing it? I guess itтАЩs impossible to tell.

Oh no no no. This year they were the most interesting. Trump's was like a meandering psychedelic trip and Kamala's was like something terrifying out of "The Wall".
