Weirdly, American politicians are actually characters in a television sitcom in a higher mathematical dimension. None of the rest of us are, just the politicians.
You never see their particular strain of behavior/attitude anywhere else except on Broadway and upper management. There’s a distinct breed of cartoon characters who make up the only class with means
Think about this while looking at a picture of earth from space on the night side where all the roads and cities can be made out. You realize humanity is a super organism on a totally different level that puts to shame other social animals like ants, bees, termites, and certain rodents. It is just that unlike most other species on earth humanity forms a hyper-object that is hard to bring into focus. Feeling like one personally is ‘the great man’ at the head of this hyper object of an organism would make anyone start having grandiose delusions about their self worth even while intellectually knowing that if they abruptly disappeared, like with single cells in a multicellular organism, another human individual would for better or worse immediately shift into carrying out their social role.
Debbie Dingell has been the 6th district representative since 2015. She is the widow of John Dingell Jr, her predecessor in the seat, who died in office. He holds the record as the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history, holding his seat for 60 years. John Dingell Jr is the son of John Dingell Sr, who held the same seat when it was established in 1933 and died in office after 22 years.

Sitting atop the modern industrial hyperobject called ‘civilization’ gives people a very funny perspective.
takes a fat bong rip

Totally not an aristocraticy.
It’s a shame we don’t teach our recent history, it’s a comedy goldmine.
