On the Human Condition: The Cartooning of the Twitter Plebiscite to Reinstate Mr. Trump in its Twitterverse

 

 

This is just too good a commentary on the human condition to pass up at a time when the highest form of artistic expression is bathos.  I offer this elegy to and about ourselves in the spirit of the times, and of its most charming feature--the way that it can transform anything into a series of small absurdities. It is offered, again in the style of the times, as cartoonery--befitting its subject.

And, I suppose, given the tenor of the times, it may require saying that none of what follows in any way is meant to suggest agreement with, support for or frankly much interest in anything related to  the person at the center of this mini  théâtre de l'absurde. Likewise, no opinion or any interest in or respecting the positions, efforts, undertaking, or arguments of those  whose tweets here are employed for a quite different purpose. 

 Lastly, perspective matters. If that desire to attain the perfect state of absurdity is as irresistible as it appears, then the human condition might best be understood in the current stage of human history, not as the production of Samuel Beckett's  Waiting for Godot; but more as the spectacle of the early Byzantine Hippodrome (ἱππόδρομος) but from the perspective of the horses.
