So here you are. It would appear that satire escapes you. We're tuly sorry you don't get it.

Now what?

We don't assume that you are stupid or have had a poor education. We want to help.

Instead of sending an angry letter to the editor, why not donate to the campaign of a local candidate for Congress who will do a better job than the incumbent crowd in serving the interests of the people in your community and across the nation.*

SENATE. If you live in a state in which a (R)eally bad senator is toadying to the interests of wingnuts and corporatists, a donation may be the most effective contribution you will ever make to American Democracy.

HOUSE. The next best choice is a candidate whose congressional delegation is already majority authoritarian, true-believing wingnut, perhaps not your own state. Note: If the shoe is on the other foot and the candidates in your party are arguing over personal gender pronouns, reassignment to "former official" might also be a good choice. Stupidity is non-partisan.

Of course, a good argument can always be made for supporting any candidate who not a trumpeteer.

We won't suggest donation pathways in order not to seem overly partisan. Since you are still reading, we suspect you know who they are.

* Note that incumbency is the best predictor of victory in congressional elections. Because incumbency is so often a synonym for inertia, an argument can sometimes be made for just voting for "the other guy" regardless of party, but in the present era the need to eject sycophants and enablers of conspiracists and authoritarians overrides other objectives. As always, a new broom sweeps cleanest; just make sure you stick to that principle when the current terms expire.
