On Monty Python Politics

As I predicted, the Reactionary faction of the GOP has split over the legitimacy of Biden’s victory. One subfaction (we’ll call them the Barrists) believes that Trumpism has some intellectual coherence as an ideology apart from the man on golf cart and pushes the envelope as far as possible, but feels obligated to observe at least some of the forms of constitutional government. The other subfaction consists of crazoids and conspiracy theorists whose loyalty is purely to Trump as an individual. These are the folks who are talking about overturning the election and declaring martial law; in their view, the Barrists are RINOs and cucks.

In other words, the Judean People’s Front has declared war on the People’s Front of Judea. As with the movie, our only task is to sit back, watch the show, and laugh.
