Here is the context.

Colin Jost's look of contempt and incredulity is both cringe-inducing and beautiful to see because it's a sign that the ruling class is losing the narrative.

I fucking told all y'all this was going to have rippling repercussions

tbh I think people said the same thing about Bernie Sanders, and while that it's technically true that Bernie Sanders had rippling repercussions socially, we're pretty disappointed with the overall results.

There could be 10 more adjustments this year and then the whole thing might quietly fade. Maybe Trump does something mass protestable then Luigi gets totally forgotten aside from a meme like Dorner. Maybe a revolution does start. Maybe the DailyWire pivots and tries to channel that energy into some ghoulish thing.

I'm pretty open minded either way on Luigi's potential larger repercussions, but it's too early to tell if this will go anywhere. It's best to try to just make sure principled voices are heard and reactionary megaphones are given opposition every chance we get.
