UFOs are the Friday news release of the election year. It's a giant distraction from what's going on.

What's going on is democracy us dying. Stop worrying about aliens.

If the people and their bipartisan representatives demand something, and the government ignores them with no accountability, is that not the death of democracy? Or does it only count when it's helpful for partisan ends?

Perhaps the boring truth is that they don't have info because there are not aliens.

I imagine as soon as we detect alines the guardian will tells us to be humane and sympathetic as this new found underclass cleans our roads and fixes our homes.

Nonetheless people moved on from believing in aliens, to 5g viruses, agi, and all sorts of other out of this world theories.
