It really is cartoonish. The idea that any group of people could intentionally "take over everything" is ludicrous in a world as complex as ours. Beck has this simple-simon idea that by pulling a few levers and tweaking a few knobs, a group of evil people can fully dominate us...to what end?

Cartoons.

to stop shitty people being shitty to anyone who is different to them (they are afraid they will lose their power and become irrelevant)

'...the World Economic Forum’s plan for a Great Reset of capitalism launched a new “call to action” titled the “Great Narrative.”'

Yes, it's all breathless and epic, "the Great This," "the Great that."

What about "the Great Storm"?

Hari Seldon he is not.

That he is followed breathlessly by people who don’t fling tapioca pudding at “the nice man” in the nursing home is mind-boggling.

Glenn Beck is the Morton Downey, Jr. of right wing punditry.

I'm confused by the cover art. Is the book about how Bill Gates and Joe Biden used Jewish space lasers to age Michael Chiklis?

People used to ask: "Who is John Gault." Now they will say: "Who is this 'Schwab' motherfucker?"

" New York Times bestselling authors Glenn Beck"

Strange for all their hatred of the Times that people like Beck feel mentioning it will help their sales.

They are epic heroes in a desperate fight to save humanity.

"The Great War" (no longer really in use)

"The Great Depression"

That should be it.

This is how it goes when you drop out of sight for a while. Look what happened to Wally Pipp.

I am old enough to remember when it was Obama bringing this chaos and madness to the world. I was warned in '09 that the world would be a hell hole in 2012 and that we would all be in FEMA camps.

My Grandma was convinced when the Air Force Base in Aplena, MI was decommissioned it was really a secret Russian plot to invade by skipping over Canada and having the entire Russian military pour in through Alpena. Within a year we would all be Russian.

I was so disappointed in Obama's failure to set up FEMA camps that when I established the "summer week with out-of-town grandkids" when each of them reached age 10, I called it FEMA Camp.

Beck shifts from his left to his right "behind." To prevent bedsores.

The Great Narrative sounds like it could have been written on golden plates.

Golden plates that no one but Glenn are able to see? Kind of like a religious Snuffalupagus?

"Ah, so basically it is the paranoid ravings of a bigot who just really wants to believe that the only reason people are not being shitty to the people he would like everyone to be shitty to is because not being shitty to people is part of their evil plot for world domination."

Glenn Beck looks like any number of random dudes at the local retirement community. I can’t believe he’s even the same person.

Back in his younger, slimmer days, he looked exactly like a good friend of mine. Which I've never mentioned to said friend, because he would quickly become an ex-friend. But really, the resemblance is uncanny.

That's like my dentist looked exactly, and I mean exactly, like Bill Barr until he grew a beard.

Amazingly, he doesn't now look like Bill Barr with a beard.
