If this sort of thing appeared in a science fiction/fantasy novel, people might just blink and accept the premise. If it appeared in a history text, they’d shake their collective head over it and silently thank the deity of their choice that no one is that stupid anymore. But if it’s spouted by a modern-day candidate for senate… well, let’s hope that our descendants don’t have to shake their collective head over the idiocy of the people of their past for electing him.
He’s a write-in candidate, as such, he doesn’t stand a chance. He isn’t even on the ballot, much a major political party nominee. I could be a write-in candidate, so could Mickey Mouse.
Doesn’t mean I’ll win. (Tho I’m rooting for Mickey.)
I’ve been hoping that Mickey Mouse would win an election for decades now. No luck so far. He’d better hurry, he ain’t gettin’ any younger.
