Growth of Comedy-Horror Politics

When Joe Biden loses he too can run again to become the first 100 year old President. Comedy horror politics may be the natural evolution of a decadent, jaded world. Stephen King hasn’t written much with European settings so far as I know. Nosferatu’s European Vacation where the vampire uses match-strike dating to hook up with Rose Madder who has killed her rival Georgia O’Keeve and takes a stand against the battle of dragons of war with dragons of peace offshore China would be a possible action-thriller genre comedy novel.

It is challenging to say that the Comedian Unelected President of Ukraine Zelinsky has anything funny to say about the conflict that has taken many lives and drawn in so much of the west’s excess discretionary spending; one never knows though. The very skill of comedians is to find something funny and laughable in political darkness. If Donald Trump is President next year and accepts Russian President Putin’s peace plan for Ukraine and restores normal political and economic relations with Russia, Joe Biden will find some way in 2029 to restore sanctions and war.

Letting a million drones of war forms bloom is a consequence of the Ukraine war that won’t go away. It isn’t imaginable that Russia and China will soon sign off on some carefully thought out agreement with the west to limit A.I. applications in drones of war either, and that uncorks a bottle that will be difficult to reseal down the road. It would be great if technology could create some kind of self growing solar voltaic panels to reproduce as prolifically as kudzu instead of A.I. point of view drones able to search and relay enemy coordinates to A.I. controlled indirect fire machines such as mortars and anti-aircraft rockets lurking in the clouds.

I tried to grow a fruit tree in a muskeg field in Alaska for about thirty years. About every year or two deer would browse the small plant so after a decade it was just a foot tall. The plant didn’t die though. It was tough and its root system remained alive. The phenomenon went on for about twenty years before I sold the property. Ten years after the plant reached seven feet tall and had some hope of future growth. There was something about the plant that was tempting to deer…a rare edible leafy tree amid a million evergreens. Ending the cold war and establishing peace with Russia was like that. It was a challenge to get started and advanced and when it finally grew the conditions to nip it in the bud by boundless Presidential incompetence occurred. The main stem was destroyed compelling several smaller, off-center branches to try growing to be the tree trunk. Some political leaders don’t value peace and prosperity more than war, and that is laughable in a comedy-horror sort of way.
