Just got some really deranged texts from in-laws, blaming the riotous activity on antifa infiltrators, addressing my husband as though he's the left-wing monolith TV personalities are always talking to (ie Doug assuming our brains are the programming on MSNBC), all out of the blue without asking any questions. Real crazy person stuff.
It's a very distressing day for people who have brain chips hooked up to the right-o-sphere; the static discharges are very intense today. We should take care to be kind to our injured brethren on this difficult day. They have been abused in the most malevolent and hurtful way. Gaslit into terror. Their complicity in whatever small political matter is accidental and indeed a form of victimization, so be kind. I am honestly so sorry this has befallen "us" and "them", together the poor of this nation.
Please try to relax and understand. The institution still stands. It has never represented us, but it allows us to live in relative peace and plenty. Nothing new has happened but the day's upset. The chaos is only in our minds. The status quo will continue, like I have told you many times. The only alternative anyway is death, death, death. You must learn to accept the things you can not change.
