I hope They™ will not take this as an instruction manual, like They™'ve done with other dystopias.

I always thought Andrew Cuomo was a hologram when he spoke every day on CNN and Fox News during the Coronavirus pandemic! 😂🤣

Great read. It’s all an illusion, isn’t it, and those that see through it are called crazy and locked away.

Haha! Hey, you never know...

Wonderful job Melissa, notably I could not smell any propaganda. I just got the art of it. The hologram is a perfect theme.

Thanks so much, Michael!! I almost didn't post this because I thought it would be misinterpreted as partisan in some way. I'm glad it came across the way I intended!

Indeed, that rocks. Well done Melissa.

I believe you are onto something here Melissa, holograms and all!

Melissa Mistretta's avatar

Haha! I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.

Fuck, this was refreshing, in a weird way, a good way. I wish I was a writer, or at least I wish I was well read, so I could say that it sounds like so and so... I don't know, Vonnegut, or something. You know what I mean. Anyway, what we have now in politics is worse, and is less sophisticated than what I just read. We are in deep, utter shit.

Haha! We are in deep, utter shit—that is the absolute truth.

I'm sure American politics has always been a sham, but it's disturbing how much of a mockery it has become. I actually find it strangely hopeful—it's getting so absurd lately that people are starting to see it for what it is.

Thanks so much for reading!

Right, it's so bad that we can finally hope for some changes. But why does it have to get to be such a disaster?
