Anyone got some other candidates? To me 1/6 is the perfect encapsulation of how dumb US politics is.

(a) 500 MAGA dork AutoZone shift managers in Party City revolutionary-cosplay costumes, spazzing out in the capitol, accomplishing nothing, eventually falling over from obesity sweats, and being escorted lovingly out of the building by sympathetic cops when they're done rioting

(b) Liberals nationwide spazzing out like this actually matters, as if the US has a "democracy", and the building that produces homicidal and genocidal legislation five days a week is somehow being tarnished by Cletus and Jethro pissing in Nancy Pelosi's WORLD'S GREATEST GRANDMA coffee mug

    1:cool it with the ableism and the classism. It’s possible to be stupid or poor without being a fascist scumbag. Their bad decisions are a conscious decision they made, that’s what makes them so vile.

    2:hell yeah liberals fuck off

      Re 1: most of them were petit bourgeois anyway. Less Autozone shift managers, more jet ski dealers.

      Autozone shift managers can’t afford to fly to DC and get a hotel room at a moment’s notice.

        And cops. Whole lot of police decided to do a little insurrection, you know, for fun.

      Sadly I have no evidence of this and was just riffing. But they could've!

      What about the day Reginald Q Reagan got got? That was a pretty good day all things considered.

      Alternately, the day Kennedy got merked is hilarious in retrospect.

    It's not the failed coup where the US guys got arrested by fisherman and pissed themselves lying on the ground?

    Maybe could pick some other descriptor besides "spazzing out".

      Sorry, I innocently didn't realize that had able-ist connotations. I apologize to anyone affected by this

    Everything has been very funny since 2016. I honestly can't pick a funniest day. I hope things get less funny...
