At some point in the 00s, it started to become an       i-intellectual; participants imagined that Rush were Bush/Cheneyites. And of       course now there are even Alt-       Righters and QAnon followers who delude themselves into thinking Rush would       have embraced those psychoses.               It's weird that, in spite of how articulate and outspoken Neil Peart was,       people project their beliefs -- *any* beliefs -- onto him.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
