      what'll the farce look like? :D

      Biden ekes out a "very suspicious" victory due to microwaves. No sane person understands that but the right-wing is insistent that "liberal/communist microwaves" corrupted ballots. J6 2.0 can't quite happen because the dems put a zillion soldiers and National Guardsmen in DC after New Year's to "keep the peace". After Biden is sworn in - in a nearly empty DC - the dems leap into legislative action. Like their insane right-wing border bill - their bill is an insane right-wing bill. It crushes people's rights under the First Amendment. It's crazier than even the most batshit republican could dream of.

      Marjorie Taylor Greene says "This lib bill is very, very bad because all lib bills are very, very bad. But maybe we should pass it anyway? It's a lib bill but it still has stuff that's good." The lib rationale is the bill "cracks down hard" on child pornography, terrorism, and "extremism in America". The dems puff out their chests and say "We love America more than the Republicans who will not vote for this bill just like they did not vote for the border bill!" But the GOP decides they will vote for the bill so it passes.

      Of course "cracking down hard on extremism in America" doesn't mean the right-wing is in any danger at all of ever being on any watchlist. People on right-wing sites continue to plot and plan violence and terrorism right in the open. They even mention Biden and phrases that should attract the attention of not only regular law enforcement and the FBI but the Secret Service as well. Yet somehow all American law enforcement from local, state to federal and the national security state can never find cause to ever investigate anybody at any right-wing site.

      Aw, the right-wing is just joking about yada yada yada. They wouldn't actually do yada yada yada. They're just role playing.*

      Meanwhile sites like Hexbear under the microscope local, state to federal law enforcement and the national security state. We clearly have "extreme" views and "hidden agendas". Of course - stuff like livable wage, [redacted], and Biden is a poo-poo head are code for evil plans and nefarious deeds.

      ---

      Biden is a poo-poo head. Uh, oh. I might have gone too far. I could be on a watchlist.

          The most unrealistic part about this is Biden winning the next election.

          Okay. How about Biden dies of a massive heart attack today and somebody says - "You know what? I do want to run for president!" and the first sentence of the scenario becomes...

          Gavin Newsom ekes out a "very suspicious" victory due to microwaves.
