This is either the best or the worst political theater of our time.

This was all orchestrated, of course it was, but I still found myself buying in. This latest incident with the confrontation and physical restraint was what broke the wall of credulity. It’s all phoney.

Depending on your perspective you can either laugh or cry at this. I’m torn.

Who has the power to do that? And who wrote the script? Or are you saying it's part of the simulation? Are our posts also part of the simulation?

From the looney toon CPAC gatherings to their “Churches” to their mass media propaganda outlets, everything is performance with these clowns. Is there any one person that can be pinpointed as the mastermind? Of course not. But they have so many think tanks and organizations dedicated strictly to this sort of propaganda that it’s really difficult to interpret it as genuine. There isn’t a principled person involved with this.

Of course it’s all staged.
