“...Advise and Consent.”

Congressperson George Santos is living in a world of his intimate fantasies. Folks do that but don’t run and or stand for Congress on it. Which makes him unique. Not lying all politicians do that. Rather he weaved a life of fantasies which came and went moment to moment. Which given our times no one noticed.

'Walter Mitty' comes to mind or the character ‘Chance’ in the film “Being There”. Santos Mitty and Chance have in common a kind of innocence. Chance had the emotional development of a child. Which no one realized so they elected him, President. Mitty’s leaps from reality to reality was a source of comedy.

Santos should be viewed outside of our current political chaos. He is neither Republican nor Democrat. Fantasist Party would come close...moderate. His various worlds are the point. There are reasons for each. Santos perhaps experiences fact from fantasy not as a wall but a suggestion. Being one that has a deep fantasy life. I am fascinated how he got so far and the nature of his assorted realities. 

Was at da Clinic watching him interviewed on the screen. Waiting room reacted with humor at the oddness of it. There was no anger...none. He was seen as a being of the digital era. Santos seems not to have an overt agenda. Other than what he dreams next.

He played with digital fire. He tickled the dragon’s tail of our times the technologies and the whims of people. So every medium is giving him hate. Watching I see mockery and bullying which could be how this all started for him.
