Anybody else feeling like this would be a great time for the U.S. to be conquered? Like not a violent war, just a really peaceful takeover — more like an intervention by all the other friendly democracies out there who& #39;ve been watching what& #39;s been going on here...

"United States, do you know why we brought you here today? Your Constitution was built on a foundation of inequality, all your branches of government have been co-opted by minority rule, and you& #39;re endangering the whole world with your ineptness..."

"In short, you& #39;re toxic, and we& #39;re just not putting up with it anymore. We& #39;re here to give you a fresh start, a nice little makeover, and something more resembling the much better forms of democracy we& #39;ve figured out since you got it all started back in 1619 — I mean 1776..."

We& #39;re just such a hot mess, and it sounds so much easier to fix things if we just got a full reboot instead of trying to make work everything as we have it now.

These are my uplifting dystopian thoughts for the day.
