i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

people reasonably concluded that trump was not an existential threat to the republic because biden did absolutely nothing to stop it

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

the trump strategy of

been struggling to explain how we’ve baudrillarded our way into a fully hyperreal Online politics but this makes it about as obvious as possible. this is “The Rose Garden,” a (literal) sign fully detached from the meaning of the words and the underlying reality it may have once represented
Dead shrubbery in The Rose Garden With No Roses.
I guess the groundskeepers are all busy hanging golden signage to help the Dotard-in-Chief find his way around.

no city on earth deserves an occupation by such evil, but mpls and pdx are both such wonderful and resilient communities despite the feds' relentless persecution. it's really breaking my heart. but they will endure, and we will win.
