Brain-damaged America

William Leigh

Seemingly endless speculation on the chain of events that drove the once great nation of America into the dustbin of history. How agitated pockets of extreme right-wing idiocy went suddenly viral, insanity gone airborne, eventually infecting large sections of the population.

Now at long last a definitive, first-hand account of the unfolding tragedy; not only exposing many of the primary culprits, but also revealing the ultimate source of this collective derangement. Hint: think delusional narcissist, with the empathy of a rattlesnake, the ethics of a serial killer, and a compulsive aversion to ever speaking the truth.

"None of us were immune. The conspiracies flowed in and out of our heads, while we waited for the great prophet Q-Tip-Anon-Ymous to issue his/her latest totally unhinged - yet completely believable and obviously true - proclamation. As the TV pundits made feeble attempts to explain the increasingly inexplicable, the masses began mindlessly walking the land, and the bizarre blathering phenomenon spread like an unstoppable plague. Those few of us with still-functioning brains suspected the world as we knew it might be ending; and as it turned out, we were right."

Brain-damaged America, the near-perfect conspiratorial mix of absurdly dark comedy and simmering political satire, should keep us all awake at night; providing ample time to consider the potential consequences of our slow-witted indifference.
