    It’s wild how he’s turned his immediate surroundings in Washington into this living metaphor for his chaos and senility.

      The dumb part is not that this orange idiot wanted to do all this.

        Accelerationists want the chaos he brings. This was all part of their plan. They didn’t know exactly what he would do, but they’re on board with the crazy shit he’s come up with.
