Indi Samarajiva for I Lived Through A Stupid Coup. America Is Having One Now.

Frankly, I expected more epaulets and tanks, but this is all you get. A bunch of dumbasses throwing chili powder. Someone at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, next to a dildo shop. What a fucking stupid century. This is what our coups look like.

Two months after publishing, the terrorism at the capital. It wasn’t as stupid as chili powder, people died, but it was still stupid.

I try not to be too doom-and-gloom though. I’m actually fairly optimistic the vast majority of people in the US are decent and don’t want and won’t stand for chaos. I’m optimistic that de-platforming terrorists and white supremacists will temper those movements. I’m optimistic that the change in power will benefit everyone.

🤘
