Slight difference. When Trish Stratus Betrayed Chris Jericho, it didn’t cause me to lose health insurance.
When everything is fake and we continue to believe it

I mean, with wrestling that’s the whole point.
You watch wrestling for the spectacle, the acrobatics, the drama. It’s literally entertainment, people don’t go to the theatre and feel disappointed because “it was scripted”. Besides, none of the stunts they pull are “fake”. They risk their body integrity and sometimes even their lives for entertainment.
With politics, yeah, that’s fucked up

Politics is show-business for ugly people.

Except I can’t be deported when shit goes sideways in wrestling. Politics affects you even if you don’t care or try to ignore it. Not so much with wrestling.

Well, with the mcmahon’s in trumps inner circle maybe this could change?

No it’s just not being able to articulate or communicate your suffering
If ignorance is bliss, why the shit do we keep getting fascism.

When will the “erm, don’t you know wrestling is fake” people get it through their damn heads that it’s not fake it’s fictional! You don’t go up to someone watching a TV drama and start lecturing them about how it’s not real, do you???

When you’re invested in the kayfabe to such an extent that it completely defines the nature of your very identity and existence, the lie is made real, and the odds of you being successfully extracted and deprogrammed go ever distant with each passing moment.

And then other get so disgusted by this that they say “oh I hate politics, don’t make this political” and disengage, demobilize And you end up with most of the population either kayfabe-dazzle of full demobilized and these two groups weigh more than anyone else in the raw number of voting bodies so that anyone trying to “do a democracy” is completely lost in the noise.
And that’s how democracy dies, or rather how it died sometime in the time of Nixon and isn’t going to undie, it’s undead democracy, we have a “zombie democracy”, it’s still twitching, it still says
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years, Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support any more!”
And then it says
“Ouf! Ouch! Owie! My bone spurs are giving me veinous insufficiency, I need a little time out”
And just in time for Iron Man to come out and save the day with his “America Party”
Funny how that works out.

If we believe it’s fake then it is. The only way it would be real would be if more people would treat it as such.

Anyone following this account's posts shouldn't be surprised to see these kind of posts mixed in especially with Trump's Epstein connections being at the forefront of American's minds right now.

Oh, I remember those times. People did NOT keep watching, as I recall it.
Most felt betrayed and stupid and would never talk about it again.
