10. This is funny, and I can understand it in different ways.

First, lets note your reason for posting. Frustration and helplessness. Me too.
Its also a critique of those who are breathlessly wrapped up on the 'show'. But those people are feeling just as frustrated and helpless but it comes out differently. They pin hopes on this or that because of this. They then post that 'hope'.

When this or that hope passes, the next thing is raised. They just want justice served and sanity to return.

We are desperate, for justice and a return to normalcy. I am sure many folks feel as I do that western civilization and democracy is at stake, imo.

So again, this OP is legitimately funny as a self critique of our behaviors, but absent physically taking to the streets and occupying government buildings (which may be needed!), this is how we behave.
