@CraftyAndy I am just astonished. I still somehow managed to be surprised by every step downward into decay because I keep thinking I've seen the worst possible spectacles for the stupidest reasons, like the massive six-month-long buildup (as it felt to me anyway) over the release of the movie (I guess it's a movie) "Independence Day". I remember an Eternity passing between the first time I saw some ad for "ID4" (WHYYY) on a bus or a public trash can or something, and when I, of course, snuck out of #SDSU (I maybe skipped a *few* classes I was clever with scheduling then) to fork over money for the thing.
And then...there was the Trump parade. Is there one single particle of enthusiasm in it? Even like...a neutrino of enthusiasm??
