• My life as a RINO

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 17 14:22:34 2022
    My life as a RINO is officially over, and I'm glad. That took way
    too much effort. I had to study crazy people I'd rather not know all
    that much about. I thought it was over when I changed my registration to Democrat. I had changed it a couple of weeks before the deadline for the current election. Or something close to that. But then I got a
    retrumplican ballot. There might have been a rational person or two
    there, but not enough of them to qualify the group as Republicans.

    After a good deal of study I picked the most *true* believer retrumplicans I could find, 'cuz, what the hell, the GOP deserves them.
    They have earned their crazy. I marked up my ballot and sent it in.

    Today I cleaned out my mailbox because I wanted to be sure there
    was plenty of room for my new bow sight. At the bottom of the pile I
    found a shiny new Democrat ballot for this election. So it must be
    official. I'm not a RINO any more. I'm a DINO again. Phew.

    Yeah, sure. I'm betting that, no matter what you say, you're simply
    unable to give up them fine retrumplican theories. I hear the latest is something called "replacement theory". Good gawd. How the fuck do them
    folk make room in their tiny little minds for all of them stupid,
    fucking, "theories"?

    They literally just replace some of them. Sheesh. It's sorta like the
    science that gets replaced randomly depending on the fad du jour.

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    Oh, I admit I'm addicted to the crazy, but, except for the big
    stars I don't need to know the names of *All* the players. About all the
    bit players here get is small walk-on and walk-off roles. Most of them
    will disappear for a couple more years. Until they do it all over again.

    I am the Einstein of ignorance. I have figured out the answer to
    your question, Grasshopper. The answer is "relative ignorance". The more ignorant someone is the more room they have for crazy theories. With
    bigger empty spaces you have room for even crazier theories. There's
    proof of this theory all around us.
