Y'all imagine being so kool-aided out, so heavy on the sauce, so wildly indoctrinated that you are willing to not only piss off -- but be found in contempt of court by -- a man who looks like this:

I don't use it anymore, but I do still have my Twitter account and check it occasionally. Today I went over there to see what is happening in our alternate reality, and I searched "idiot" - I don't even know why. This is what comes up first when you search that:

If you live in one of the following districts: your singular job is to make these people rue the day they were born until they publicly support the U.S. Constitution and denounce the approach Musk and Trump are taking. Call them until your phone breaks.

So me, undertaking my civic duty to try to inform the ppl I went to high school with who still live in their small town rural bubble of said coup, have now undertaken a mission which will undoubtedly leave me with a *more* unhinged reputation amongst these ppl than I already had (which is fine)
