Cartooning is the Devil’s yoga.

I might be out over my skis here but…

It’s a carefully orchestrated show for the public.

Yep. That’s precisely the cost/benefit analysis that’s driving this Kabuki regicide. It’s literally Apocalypse Now without the actual physical assassination.

Maybe they didn’t feel the need to hand Johnson the script. His days as speaker are numbered.

Excellent example.

The regicide will be thrillingly but meticulously televised as to not be too glaringly calibrated, but the underlying coup will quietly and steadily proceed at a pace.

It’s Kabuki theater.

The spiders are weaving and weaving around the clock right now. Authoritarianism doesn’t ever retreat. It reconfigures and shifts its shape. Stay extra frosty.

If the public narrative seems too good to be true, it is. And you should be on highest alert because that’s the most dangerous moment.

The operation has already begun. We will all be captive passengers on a perilous narrative journey down a dark and twisting river. It’s clear that they already have a successor in mind or you wouldn’t be seeing all the theatrically timed cracks and fissures.

HINT: The successor is not Vance.

Calling costumed Wolverine”Logan” feels like calling Superman “Clark,” or Spider-Man “Peter.”

Cool Matrixy dark take, but I would highly doubt it.

Too late.
