Add it to the list of shit we desperately need yesterday

To be clear I wasn’t trying to say “how bad it’s gotten” broadly, just that Kimmel specifically is surreal to me because of how I first became acquainted with him as a kid, but you are totally right overall

This is out of line, Carl is an awful and gross person but he’s not evil

Which is why all the factions are trying to get their agenda advanced as quickly as possible before he croaks. The techno-feudalist side had the advantage with their boy JD poised to take over but removing him is much more politcally viable for the Christian nationalists in congress

Thank you

That’s not how civil wars work anymore, it’ll be akin to a Balkanization where there are multiple different factions, upstart states, militias and insurgencies. The second will be nothing like the first. The Syrian civil war is a decent smaller scale modern example

Edit: if you’d like a good idea of what it will look like I HIGHLY recommend the fist season of the excellent podcast It Could Happen Here by Robert Evans. It’s from 2019 but wildly prescient

This is very much a situation where they sure as shit ain’t our allies but if ICE wants to make an enemy of the police I’m not gonna stop that mistake

We’re already in the first throes of the Second American Civil War, we just haven’t started calling it that yet

Edit: throws to throes because I’m a dumb southern hillbilly

He’s had a long week alright, just wants to have a drink and unwind

Not so much that he’s a comedian, but the specific comedian he is, I would be much less surprised if say Jon Stewart was in the same position. And I’m not knocking Jimmy it’s just been a really strange journey to get here

Kinda but he’d been dabbling around politics for decades, I remember watching Fox and friends with my super conservative parents when I was in middle and high school and Trump would call in once a week to talk about shit. This is around 2003. Kimmel was always about dick jokes

It’s still fucking with me that a man i first encountered as the introducer of women jumping on trampolines on the Man Show as a horny 11 year old is somehow a relevant character in the end of democracy in the United States
