Tim cites the "for things to stay the same, things will have to change" quote from The Leopard to explain why Kamala represents a new prototype of vapid, affable American leadership as the public and media both get dumber.
- The Lampedusa quote: 'If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change'—the ruling class's guiding principle for the last 15 years.
- Tim describes Kamala as the prototype of the new American leader: affable, fun, attractive, but with no beliefs and institutional careerist backgrounds.
- The major difference now is that people are stupider, so leaders can be stupider—everybody gets dumber together.
- Tim mocks Kamala's explanation of the Ukraine war: 'Russia is a bigger country and they invaded Ukraine, they are a smaller country.'
- Tim recommends watching Kamala's recent abortion rally video as a demonstration of the current moment he's describing.
