While some shit may be fucked up, aging uncovers other talents. The ability to sit still for long periods while appearing to be doing nothing, a heightened appreciation for naps, bemusement at the folly of youth, transitioning to curmudgeon...

Funny that... or probably not...
Just catching up after a trip. Your little bit about your Dad's information loop reminded me of an old BBS tagline: "In a land of troglodytes the erudite man is FOOD."
Show us the Dems on the list.
We'll show you how to deal with `em! Buh-BYE!

All the other 3rd parties are still grifting their scams, so...

I entered Opposite World, unwillingly, back in 1981. I've lodged my objections, consistently, ever since. I am not as loud as I once was, but I'm as loud once as I ever was.
Despite brief quadrennial respites, we've all been living in this Orwellian nightmare since RWR took us on his detour.
Remember when the National Enquirer and World News Daily were at the checkout counter, not in your News Feed?
Naming it the Epstein/Cohn Ballroom?

Don't threaten me with a good time...
I only question RWR's understanding of what he signed. After being told that there was no fat, waste or abuse to be found, he fell back to his Hollywood script of America. He couldn't "fix" it, so he agreed to break it, so that it would be rebuilt correctly. He read from the prepared script after.

you're one of them, then you'll want to explain what you're
doing here with us. If you don't then, maybe you are not who I think you are and, possibly,not who you think you are either. You might want to check, just to make sure.
I'll wait....
