I really, really hate to say this, because it is itself a reflection of the ludicrous reality we’re living in, but I would almost put Santos more in the category of “bizarre performance art” than any kind of serious political threat.

I’m saying I would not have a hard time believing that he doesn’t really give a shit about the republican platform, or any political platform for that matter.

Even more succinctly, that asshole has been doing nothing more than auditioning for Dancing With The Stars this whole time.

I could absolutely see a story breaking in a few years about how he was a paid actor from some political humor show. Like, they wanted to do a segment on just how far in life you could go in America by being a complete fraud.

The further it went, the more out of control it got until their character “George Santos” found himself in an election.

When the studio wanted to pull the plug, a few key players on the show convinced them to let it play out. It wasn’t until he fucking won that everyone agreed that the charade was up, and they needed to do their civic duty and leak some of the fakeness to the press.

Incredibly, even after that it took nearly a year for the powers-that-be to step in and do their job, at which point, the showrunners were now a little too scared of the ramifications to own up to it, until the media frenzy had died down.

I also heard he was crucified, but then he got better.
