No, it isn’t the author’s imagination. Think about all the self-proclaimed “freedom-lovers” (read: anti-mask, anti-COVID restriction folk) who emigrated to Flori-DUH since mid-2020. Even in this supposed “blue island,” the discourse out of some has been utterly jaw-dropping.

Ouch.

The beauty of having Liz Truss as PM is that we no longer have to wonder what a Sarah Palin presidency would have looked like

Double ouch.

Lettuce at 58p – a good buy

Liz Truss at Number 10 – a goodbye

Kevin McCarthy's (slightly revised) red wave victory speech

Hello, ~~enormous crowd of enthusiastic supporters~~ medium-size (and I am being generous!) gaggle of staffers and others who are still here at 2 a.m. after the bar stopped serving! What a night it’s been! An ~~enormous tsunami of red~~ small trickle of red ~~cascading~~ dribbling over the map in an ~~undeniable~~ underwhelming manner! I am ~~pumped!~~ Kevin! The thrill of victory surges through my veins, and I feel more powerful than ever before! Just as I said would happen, just as Elon Musk himself wished, we have gained 60 House seats and are going to offer Americans the clear, inescapable Republican majority they have long been dreaming of! My wish is coming true! That’s my name: Kevin!

It is going to be so nice to have such an overwhelming majority that I will not have to worry what Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks every time I want to pass a bill — even though I have chivalrously brought the party to her! I can’t wait to set a bold agenda of impeachments and other thrilling charades! Also, maybe we will shut down the government over the debt ceiling! Things of that nature! a small majority, probably. This is exactly what I wanted!
