I’m still trying to digest the events of the weekend. Even though I’ve known about, and almost celebrated the differences between, the factions on the “far right,” the Charlottesville Rally — even moreso than the Alt-Riech’s dumbass shenanigans before — has drawn up higher stakes for everyone.

I feel much like Melania’s hair looks here. This is the first time I’ve seen her change up her hairstyle (other than the occasional updo). The side part doesn’t look bad; on the contrary, it’s nice to see her switch things up and try something different.

Her customary blowout gets the job done, with a center part and the sides blow-dried flat and away from her face. It’s expected, classy, and goes with just about anything.

Again, it’s expected.

Fortunately for us, nobody dies when Melania changes her hair.

No potential future is in jeopardy because she decided to straighten instead of curl.

When the winds change on the right wing, it takes a while to reorient because we have no infrastructure. When some idiot gives a bad photo op or legit makes a mistake, it strikes relatively deeper because we have fewer battalions of useful idiots to absorb or diffuse the blow.

Maybe I’m so off-kilter because I’m disillusioned. People I thought were reasoned, decently principled thinkers turn out to be knee-jerk reactionaries, or shit-tier trolls. No strategic thinking, no long-term goals. No good for a better future.

Meanwhile, the more moderate faction is showing all the brains…but I’m not convinced they won’t get eaten alive by Antifa and/or the mainstream media before they can do any actual good.

All the while the wolf is snarling outside the door.
