In "Florida’s Idiocracy: Come and witness the wisdom of The People," NeverTrumper Charlie Sykes recounts the pitiable yet laughable saga of a Palm Beach County public hearing, "during which angry opponents [of wearing masks] held up Trump signs, threatened the county board with citizens’ arrests, invoked the wrath of God, and held a festival of crazy."
Sykes also presents a tweet by Democratic political consultant John Aravosis, who watched the festival — a modern version of the medieval Feast of Fools — unfold on TV.

At the county commissioners' meeting, the video's first featured wombat added: "What happened to Bill Gates? Why is he not in jail? Why is Hillary Clinton not in jail? Why are all of these pedophiles that are demanding you all to listen to their rules, why are they not in jail? Is it because you are part of them? Are you part of the deep state? The deep state is going down, and if any of you are in the deep state, you are going down with them."
As I tell my six-month-old pup whenever she should be engaging an activity, such as critical pottying: "Focus, let's focus, you've got to focus now." Nevertheless, Tilly is better at focusing than any of the anti-masketeers at the Palm Beach meeting. Pedophilia? Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, imprisonment and the deep state? At a board meeting on public health? Is dementia a new symptom of covid-19, which appears to be most prevalent among right-wing wackos preconditioned by dimwittedness?
