I mean, you talk about reality TV scripting. Look at that frame! It's all an illusion and a way of making associations for "believers" who are so divorced from any consensus reality at all that its hard to see how they are a part of a functional society.

Now, I am going to go "get used to" the COVID-19 pandemic as it explodes in my face as per the Trump plan.
Oh and: monuments, totems, idols! Yay! Dictator pride! What would Moses say?
