unbibiumAll this politics is making me a little scared. Even the political humor.
Whether you're trying to get elected, promoting a business, or even trying to attract a mate, it seems the most reliable ways are to instill deep feelings of dread in someone to make them exploitable.
Except, in the case of politics, there's another side to the dread; it's engineered to keep people quiet, or at least to turn their shouting into so much pissing in the wind.
