        Bannon famously calls himself a ‘Leninist’.

        Real Dark Scientific Method Hours, cause he built one.

        Maybe not the creature Frankenstein intended, but it shambles through our politics nonetheless.

    “Hmmm...we lost an election that was basically symbolic and the worst I might ever face is getting kicked off social media for saying the gamer word...I know! Better start an insurrection and get myself hunted down by the largest surveillance state that’s ever existed!” These people are fucking rubes who literally can’t log off or just ignore cultural shit they don’t like.

      Eh. That kinda describes me as well. So... Yeah... Maybe I should try to be more like Mao as well? I think they're on to something here

    Mao didn't begin in the hinterlands

    he started in Beijing and the CPC was founded in fucking Shanghai

      Becoming a violent insurrectionist to make sure Fudruckers doesn’t pay too much taxes.

        That’s actually as non-lib as electoralism gets though.

        That’s seeding the ground for your movement instead of postponing brunch a few hours to vote for house/senate/president once every few years

    This is one benefit of a Biden presidency (that of course has nothing to do with any of Biden's actions): the disparate factions of the GOP will keep growing apart, and will more frequently and publicly snipe at each other.

    For instance, the Q cultists will eat this shit up, but Republicans who didn't go down that rabbit hole? Or Republicans who only liked Trump to the extent he did stuff they supported? They're at least connected to reality enough to count Republican senators and judges. How much are they going to keep tolerating this stuff when they've seen it turn into "hang Mike Pence" with a noose outside the capitol?

      Beats the frontal city assaults the soviets kept pushing for, right?

    Obligatory comment of I fucking wish we lived in the same universe as Chuds. Particularly one where the GOP was in the same position as Mao, and the Dems were fundamentally different ideologically.
