The party that never existed: from "I'm signing up" to beheading threats
A thread peine nearly 200 days ago promised the founding of a new political party. The initial slogan, "just Spaniards will come out united," suggested a classic patriotic grouping. But the drift was immediate: name proposals like "Jews expelled on a cigar," references to satanism, internet outages, and a user who claims to have secret recordings of the PP and PSOE (Spain's two main political parties) and antiestéticars for his life.
No program, no structure: only shared delusions
The discussion never got as far as sketching an electoral program. Instead of debating policies, participants got bogged down in conspiracy theories about the DGT (Spain's traffic authority), fake fines, and a certain "honk" who, according to several messages, they want to "pin the blame on." YouTube videos appear without context, references to a thermonuclear bomb, and the proposal to "legalize marijuana and ban alcohol" as the only concrete measure.
The foretold ending
After months of thread, the question "What? Did it get off the ground?" receives answers that speak of missing people and tortures related in morse code. The initiative, unsurprisingly, never materialized. The last highlighted message sums up the mood: "In the end we were left without a forum." No forum was needed: the party died before it was born, a victim of its own toxicity.
