Wandering through the political landscape like blindfolded tourists in a minefield. Will they finally stumble upon the revelation that their chosen champion might not be the heroic figure they imagined?

And should the tangerine-tinted titan of turbulence face a moment of electoral abandonment, well, I'll be here with popcorn, watching the political theater unfold with gleeful anticipation.
