Tropical Soulvangelical salutes Joe Biden on his reporting that his radiation therapy from nearly a year ago had worked as expected. This TSV takes as a comeback against that whole feel-sorry-for-Biden trope from nearly a month ago when Biden's Donkeyish haters were -pretending- to make tribute to him, but only as a way of taking him off the political playing field, or at least trying to. Biden came back and said, you failed, and I'll make sure you keep failing. In the meantime, TSV came across the TV trope term Condescending Compassion, and he immediately thought of Bernie, so starts the campaign to get Bernie removed from office when he's up in 2030. Bernie's been in power for way too long, and has caused instances of undemocracy in the country while sitting behind the comfort that only one state's worth of citizens can vote for or against him. The rest of us are nearly utterly helpless, except to do a True Resistance against those who oppose the concept of principle, and that includes Bernie and Biden's Donkeyish haters who really do want Biden to just die already. TSV is getting ready, because the so-called "No Kings" types haven't seen anything yet. Bernie has co-opted both No Kings and Black Lives Matter, and that's why TSV informs people that Bernie has to go. TSV also wants Vermonters not to allow themselves to be bribed by the bread-and-circuses of middle class economics into handing Bernie what appears to be a 10 term in office. Only dictators enjoy such a thing, and being able to dominate the discussion in things to the point where only a select few like TSV know the real truth in things, rather than the falsehood of talking point memos. He wants to empower Biden to "rescue" Bernie (rather than the other way around) by not only kicking Bernie out of office, but also effectively erasing the Bernie Legacy from history (because, yes, it -is- a Reign Of Terror), by getting the populace to rewind the tape on Bernie, and eliminate acceptance of Bernie's contempt of the concept of principle, and to restore the moral conscience of our culture.

OK so it's been over a month since I the Happy Bachelor posted any base shares, mainly on behalf of Tropical Soulvangelical. It's partly because he's been less angry lately (with the exception of that cop not facing justice for pepper spraying teenagers at so-called "illegal" protests, whatever that means). He's been less angry, because there are a number people he's feeling attracted to, so maybe Lady Gaga may have been right, that maybe Love Does Conquer Hate. That said, he sees there's an age difference between him and a number of people among the number of people he's attracted to. He really thought nothing of it until via arocalypse he came across a cartoon site that's using the concept of the creepiness age formula, supposedly for the sake of a conversation starter. But he found himself on the periphery of that formula, and he's kind of disturbed about it. He really doesn't care if it's for arguments' sake, because he and I both know that our society takes these kinds of things way too literally. He could end up getting attacked on social media for being a "dirty old man" even though he's not a senior, and the people he's attracted to are reasonably grown up people (of course we're all grown-up kids, or none of us truly grew up). So he's going to get attacked, and it wouldn't surprise him if the politicians tried to pass a law in some jurisdictions making that kind of age difference actually illegal, just to win reelection on a wedge issue/culture war of some sort, with absolutely no intention of enforcement, except supposedly by mob rule. If there were pitchforks and torches on either TikTok or Instragram, this would be it. He kind of feels like he can never get it right, even though he feels ready for something serious happening between him and the right kind of person, and even though I'm the Happy Bachelor, I want to give him that little push towards obeying his heart and that yearning that most human beings have for some kind of loving compassionate human contact. He came out as aro within the last month, so no it's not going to be candlelight dinners at Four Seasons (unless he wins the lottery without playing), or raising a nuculur family or anything. But even on either an aro or a Happy Bachelor level, there's a human need for tenderness and togetherness and sharing things that make us vulnerable as a form of intimacy with those we hope accept themselves enough to see themselves in the rest of us to know that at the core of our very souls, we do really want the same basic things in life. He's hoping that even as a conversation starter, the creepiness formula gets revised to reflect reality, and doesn't become yet another tool for social division that's just self-defeating in the end.
