Shitposterocracy

I get that plenty of people have politics I disagree with, and some people are just evil and dishonest, but it is bizarre that a significant portion of the House GOP caucus (and some on the senate) are basically just there so they can have a bunch of twitter followers and shitpost all day. That seems to be what the job is to them.

Maybe it's just the new version of "show business for ugly people." Being an internet celebrity is celebrity, now, and politics is the path there for those who wouldn't have another path.

That I feel more of the weight of the world, more responsibility, writing this dumb blog than they do running the government suggests we have a bit of a problem.
