Politics and religion oughta come with a warning label at this point. In real life, nobody even wants to talk about ‘em. Somebody says, “Don’t get me started,” and everybody already knows the night’s headed downhill. Why? Because most folks figure politicians are liars, thieves, or actors reading cue cards anyway. And religion? Nobody truly knows what happens after we die — the dead ain’t exactly filing reports back to Earth.
Meanwhile, regular people ain’t losing sleep over theology or campaign promises. They’re standing in Safeway wondering how two bags of groceries somehow cost $150. Pears are six damn dollars, the IRS is circling like a vulture, and everybody’s working overtime just trying to stay afloat. If there’s some grand cosmic plan behind all that, it sure feels like God took a vacation and left the meter running.
Most people spend their whole lives trying to outrun reality — stress, bills, aging, bad news, broken relationships, fear of dying. But if you can’t laugh at the absurdity of all this, life’ll bury you early. The world’s basically one giant Comedy Central episode with taxes.
So maybe we’re all just Pharaohs of Egypt in our own heads, thinking we’re building something permanent before we disappear. Maybe when we die, we end up at some cosmic Disneyland ride nobody understands. Who knows. But politicians? Yeah… them bastards probably got a separate line straight to hell sitting beside Hitler.
That’s my summary on politics and religion.

We’re all built from the same dust and dreams,
Different roads, but the same means.
