MidTerm Diaries 2026 Ep. 1

April 25th, 2026

There’s a reason the WWE only “wrestles” once a week, for an audience suspending disbelief requires a return to reality every now and then. Professional wrestling relies on the concept of Kayfabe to be exciting.

According to Wikipedia:

Kayfabe is the portrayal of staged elements within professional wrestling (such as charactersrivalries, and storylines) as legitimate or real. Although initially a wrestling term, Kayfabe has also been used to describe any suspension of disbelief or pretense of reality that deliberately blurs the lines between fact and fiction.

Modern politics also has a significant elemnet of Kayfabe to it. Legislators trade jabs during Sound-Bite Elicitation Sessions or SBESs (Congressional Committee Hearings) yet laugh together over their Senate Bean Soup in the cafeteria later. 

It’s important to maintain that devisive tone when things are good because it makes the voters feel like tie color matters. The accusations and political theater help obfuscate the real show backstage where our nation bankrupted itself in celebration of defeating the communists.

Anyway this was an unfinished draft, but to try to posthumously land this plane. What i mean is that every day with this administration is so unbelievable that I think we have Kayfabe fatigue here in the USA. 

There’s so many things that shock the mind daily when you read the news. A man running into the Washington Hilton with an assault rifle during the White House Press Corispondants dinner is merely in the top 3 most crazy things that happened this week in the USA.

Oh the King is in County. A king can give something gold or ornate to the President without pretense or suspicion, but it is going through the scanner. Put that in the new constituion.

I don’t know how to write, and I dont really care to learn. A write is a thought and I like to see how the sausage is made. This paragraph is to try to sift me through the panic attack I am currently having (which I usually do before I write). I am overthinking every word and questioning every piece of syntax and vocabulary use, and I think I am fairly bad at it all. I love ending sentences containing prepositions within. I feel as if I am that smartest man in the world in the subject and the dumbest dude when I’m stuck trying to remember what a predicate is and when a sentence becomes a runon. Can you use two ands or three before its a problem and will admisssions staff from cambridge and havard frown upon my spurious uses of the Oxford comma, the Vanderbilt ampersand, and the Colorado State semi-colon.

I’m truly just wasting time writing someone that might amuse a really bored middle school english teach amid a mid generation who are disconnecting from reality because reality is confusing and scary. I am tryly just wasting time right now in a atempt not to think about the state of the world and my powerless spot on it. How earth feels like a loaded word. “What’s good for earth” sounds like greeny commie bullshit…

What’s good for earth is just a scam to get them to get me to pay more for my eggs and bacon. Hell I can barely afford a second bass boat for my second lake house. 

I frankly am not sure I am a good person, I can’t possibly be the idiot that suggests this first. We gotta refound the country. This is becoming non-sense.

Fuck, I shouldn’t be writing about these things. This is the declaratory loophole in our national system They are trying to distract us by. Or that’s the type of conspiracy we should try to spread to promote the idea of a 3rd Continental Congress, and we’d need a President who was on board. It’s more likely that we make chemical rockets obsolete than that 350 million Americans all decide to Reinvent Sovereign Governance, Again (RSGA).

Anyway, I’ll end with a mediation: If I was sincere can I find ease in replaying my interactions?
