The idea
of heaven
is appealing,
particularly
when reeling
from life
that cuts
like a knife
with a
serrated
blade,
alternating
spiky
and smooth.
Alito’s
flags
read
as symbols
of dread
pledging
allegiance
instead
to Trump.
“Freeing”
speech,
to the
Capitol
breech,
is more
than
disrupting
norms.
From
the first clue
of Q
to
Brandon,
the cult
has landed
on a key
way
to unify
with
the former
guy
through
linguistic
gymnastics
and symbolic
semiotics.
The insider’s
guide
to being
outside
is to hide
in plain
sight.
More
than a club,
a cult
will sub
established
lingo
for the
nouveau
so that
only
the committed
are permitted
to use it.
The abuse
is willful
and intentional
to distill
and distinguish
in an english
riddled
with subversive
political meanings.
The political
leanings
are clear
even when
vocabulary
is a mere
game
to reframe
and blame
and hide
inside
their
own web
of deceit.
The cult’s
conceit
is to repeat
anew
a slew
of symbols
and words
no matter
how absurd
to herd
together
the once
stirred,
lonely,
and aggrieved.
The perceived
connection
with objection
to the status
quo
always
motivates
change.
Linguistic
analysis
provides
the structure
of culture
and functions
as the glue
and cue
to the cult
of Q anon
and beyond,
supporting
the vibe
of the tribe
who imbibe
the kool aid.
Et tu
Nikki Haley?
I know it’s
scary,
but cults
never
deliver
the heaven
they promise,
no matter
how
appealing.
