Clown Population

Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a "basket case of clowning around" on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.
People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It's the entire population of Untied States of America.

These 8-words Twitter-length / Bluesky-length responses to what is gong on in USA / North America in April 2025 Is "baby talk". As defined by Neil Postman back in 1985:
Like how people talk about Donald Trump wearing diapers and how he is 7 years old and how Elon Musk is a dumb idiot. That's Twitter style shit-bird ways of Tweeting debate, and it works. That's how Donald Trump and Elon Musk got to the top of the free world in year 2024, by baby-talk and dumb shit. Anti-intellectualism in favor of drugs.
“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985 !BackTo1985@lemm.ee
