I'd Say This Is Up To Babylon Bee Standards

The Jacobin is not an outfit I follow, but they have a rather brilliant cover, via an article at RT (h/t Zerohedge):


'Government becomes God': Jacobin's satirical cover literally idolizing Biden strikes nerve

 



RT explains the, um, iconography:


Biden's larger-than-life, bare-chested figure is shown surrounded by 'holy spirits' of Twitter and 'saints'. The latter include kneeling Democrat leaders in the US Congress, Dr. Anthony Fauci, fawning journalists and manager-class devotees eagerly consuming the 'holy scripture' from what is probably the latest Barack Obama memoir. The former president himself is shown as a six-winged seraphim bracketed by the likewise angelic Hillary and Bill Clinton, with the trio gazing benignly from the heavens. A crowd of mask-wearing suburban laymen on Earth celebrate Biden's ascension. A pair of Reaper drones complete the picture, providing a clear hint for the doubtful that the image should be taken with a grain of salt.


No doubt this a bit of gentle Leftist self mockery, but who can doubt that this amounts to the Administrative Deep State's vision of our future--America in the Great Reset? I take it that the 'holy spirits' of Twitter are merely meant to represent our Big Tech Overlords more generally.

  1. Cover is so spot on.

    Saint Fauci stated he felt “liberating” in the Biden Administration.

    1. Steve Hilton" has been on, saying (as I understood it) that he has documents, showing that funding for Wuhan work on the virus was pushed by Fauci, tho other Obama Admin. experts wanted funding stopped.
