Is this to imply that Ubu Potus is anything but a loyal servant of the empire? Or that his stupid incompetence and ideological fanaticism make him, while subjectively loyal, objectively something less? If so, doesn't that very fact assure that he will be dumped by his master? If not, how can any reasonable dissident find the empire's poisoned dishes served with neoliberal sauce less fatal than the same dishes served with Xtian fundamentalist sauce? Or care whether the waiter who serves them wears a born-again face or a born-again soul?
