Swing State Blues...
Getting twenty texts a day from pollsters and campaigns. None of which cease by replying "STOP," as they just continue under another number.
When history of the moment is definitively authored a few decades from now, it'll start with a Dickensian note.
"These were the dumbest of times... There were those in charge, and they knew a lot, if not everything, about everything (if you asked them)... There were those shaking a fist, advocating for a return to common sense, and sanity (with which they claimed unconvincingly to be somewhat familiar)...
The Big Dumb was a like a Dark Ages. Thankfully, given no one had an attention span greater than forty-five seconds by 2025, what would normally have passed over centuries came and went in a little more than a decade. And now we live in peace, managed by the Holy Algorithm and AI Parliament.
...And all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds. "
