Welcome to Douglas Wilson's Blog and May Blog, presented by Canon Press.

Let's go Brandon to QAnon, plus November 8th, 2021.

Introduction.

If our generation got any fruitier, it would have to be acknowledged from every quarter

that somebody had put way too many mangoes in the fruit salad.

This judgement of judicial fruitiness is a judgement that has fallen on the entire

nation and not just on parts of it.

This includes millions of ostensible conservatives, whose opposition to this tsunami of crazy,

has to date been feeble, frail, sickly, innovative, insufficient, saplings and just plain out

of gas.

When a bunch of people suddenly go nuts, we can certainly give an accounting for that.

There is such a thing as mass hysteria.

There have been stampedes of various sorts down through history, and our 21st century

street smart sheephole have proven themselves to be no exception.

There is a category for this kind of crazy, as the human race has known for centuries.

If you want a vivid picture of this kind of mindless conformity, try to imagine a guy

on a bicycle with a requisite bedhead wearing a rage against the machine t-shirt riding

out a bike path on a sunny day out in the country with two masks on.

That just about says it all.

But what do we to make of the same people who know how bogus just about everything is and

who yet go along with it?

As one wit once observed, it is all professional wrestling everywhere.
