In return- I will listen to you. I don't shy away from criticism or debate. I have opponents in this campaign- all of whom I respect. I hope this will be a campaign about ideas and about leadership. Likewise- I respect the man I hope to be my predecessor- President Polnut. However... now is the time for leadership. People say the Fantasy board is dying...when I am President let's see if that is the case. You may not agree with me but I am sure you will LOVE to disagree with me- make me the Reagan to your Tip O'Neill as I've tried to be the Gingrich to Polnut's Clinton. The best government is a government where people of differnt ideologies have to come to the table and negotiate their differences-
an inversion of this lets us in on how banal and platitudinous it is.
I won't listen to you. I will shy away from criticism and debate. I do not respect, nor to I accept the legitimacy, of my opponents in this race. I hope this will be a campaign centered on personalities rather than issues. I do not respect the President, and think he has failed miserably and should resign. Now is the time for appeasement and a more general chamelonism. People claim that the Fantasy board is dying, it is, and this trend is irreversible, regardless of my success or failure in this election. we are doomed and can only hope to go gracefully. You may not agree with me, but you must act like you do, lest you be repressed and your opinions censored. obey and do not think. The best government is a government which I run and is entirely structured to cater to my whims and desires.
The bolded part is the only possible fundament for a political movement today. Only a complete delibidinization of the struggle can correctly channel the radical dysphoria that should be emblematic of our present condition. We must fight because we must also lose. There is a strange form of Camusian heroism in such a battle against all odds. Such heroism sadly seems inevitable (at the present juncture).
I have seen the light. I support Tweed. I have no desire but to be disappointed.
