    bizarre, idiosyncratic takes that exactly one person on earth believes, but which they’ll treat as the most obvious thing in the world

    Utterly nailing a particular kind of crank, in a way I’m going to reference in the future. Too bad they think they’re talking about goofy pragmatic compromises and not the pretzel-logic diehards nodding beside them.

    Not ‘never vote blue because this time third parties and nonparticipation will drag the party to the left while fascists start rounding us up.’

    Not ‘annexing Ukraine’s children isn’t genocide because unless it comes from the genosi region it’s just sparkling ethnic cleansing.’

    Not ‘never-been-tried means a perfect track record.’

    Though I suppose those are sadly common.
