      Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush’s side, and that the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on. When they present themselves in public, they are acting as characters that are against one another, practicing kayfabe as wrestlers do.

      Okay dude… and that’s honestly not even the craziest line. Maybe the Simpsons mob part was? That guy needs help

      Oh my. Imma have to sit down with a blunt on this one and take it in. Lots to unpack.

      Oh, okay, he’s a garden variety nutjob who went off his meds for too long. Glad it could be cleared up.

      EDIT: I realized this was a bit flippant after thinking back on it. It’s obviously tragic that this guy wasn’t able to get the help he obviously needed before it was too late. I’m relieved it wasn’t because of obvious partisan leanings (i.e. he was protesting the trial in one way or the other) and that it appears his decision to set fire there appears to have been more to draw attention to his message. I won’t even say that his ideas are entirely wrong–it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if billionaires were pumping crypto as a rugpull, but there’s a lot of obvious delusions (like claiming that the Simpsons, the Beatles, George Orwell, and various pop icons were part of a conspiracy to normalize doom-and-gloom sentiment). I just hope this doesn’t delay the trial too much, and I hope it’s not a sign of things to come.
