Something about the idea that Right wing cocksuckers are so enamored with a “humorous” Twitter account called Catturd tells you everything you need to know about America as we circle the drain.
All I know about Catturd is he’s really, really good at getting things trending — usually on Sunday mornings — and I have a serious amount of angst about how he might weaponize this knack at some crucial point between now and, say, January 2025.
It’s easy to imagine him spewing some MAGA fascist disinformation at just the right moment, which would serve as the tipping point to the final collapse of American democracy. I know that sounds ridiculous and hysterical, but from my personal study of history, typically the specifics of Big Historical Events are both odd and very prosaic.
So, I could totally imagine Catturd tweeting a MAGA fascist “joke” at just the right moment during the 2024 – 2025 Certification Crisis that is the tipping point in the collapse of 240 odd years of American democracy. That’s how history really works, I’m afraid.
What’s more, Catturd is bitching a moaning to Elon Musk about how he continues to be “shadow banned” and his follower count is falling. Ugh. What an bad faith idiot. But, here we are — the fate of 335 million Americans could be determined by a Twitter account named “Catturd.”
Good luck, guys, you’re going to need it.
