all the godawful gimmick twitter accounts like "ROGUE department of the interior" that sprang up back in 2016 and got tons of followers because people were desperate to believe that the gov't is full of noble dissidents who would stand up and say "NO" to the cheeto

well it certainly happens, otherwise SA never would have known about rumsfeld's persistent arousal that requires him to wear frozen underpants at all times

sure, and you get heroes like the person(s?) who leaked the Pentagon Papers, but somehow I doubt that twitter accounts like "ALTERNATE Yolo county comptroller's office" are truly committed to the cause of liberation

I need help finding an old funny politics image. It was from some vote in the UK from the last few years, either a national parliamentary election, or Brexit, or perhaps the Scottish independence referendum (I don't think it was that far back though). It was a flow chart instructing Scots on how to vote in whatever was on the ballot based on their party affiliation or other opinions. I specifically recall that the arrow for Conservatives went to a box that read something like "I AM A SCOTTISH TORY, A FOUL AND WARPED CREATURE, DESPISED BY BEAST AND MAN ALIKE, DOGS HOWL WHEN I WALK BY".

Desperately hoping someone else remembers this and has it in their funy_imgs folder because it made me chortle heartily at the time and I wish to chortle once again.

on topic: literally anything in UK national politics from the last 10 years, it's all an insane and disgusting farce, cannot believe that dismal country was ever allowed to run the entire planet

Well he was sandwiched between Nixon and Reagan, so poo poo sackness is relative.

gently caress that. the presidency immediately after Nixon was the best opportunity since fdr to use a strong mandate to bring real change to America. guy shoulda nationalized a bunch of poo poo and done reparations and whatever. to blow it so bad that you lose as an incumbent to loving Reagan is unforgivable.
