Catzerland, famous for their neutrality in all things regarding cats, can breathe a sigh of relief. There’s been an increased interest in U.S. election information regarding cats. And for a while it looked like our feline friends were part of a broad brush stroke stereotype as being a bad thing.
Specifically, JD Vance made a now infamous comment about childless cat ladies. Your opinion was not important or valid if you owned a cat. The poke was intended to as a dunk on childless people, the American dream of raising a good Christian family is allegedly what makes us great. Without children, you have no pony in the race, no skin in the game.
Or no cat in the cooking pot, until a month later.
There are some constants about social media in the mix. People love their pets, they love to argue about politics especially with low quality or even nonexistent information, people are assholes and hypocrites, and they love to meme. So when we got the Vance comment the leftist “Republicans are weird” scene took it and rode with it to all its meme glory. The culmination of this is that Vance is being slammed on Twitter for it

And Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Harris/Walz signing off as a proud Childless Cat Lady.
But poor old Catzerland. In the interest of displaying both sides of an argument like a neutral media source yearned for equal coverage. What if you’re a GOP cat owner and are desperate for something to feed your love of cats and burning desire to vote with no logic or intellectual thought process? Memes are not enough. Well, now they have some skin in the game and a cat in the cooking pot.
Someone poised with roughly a 50% chance to win a major election actually embraces a totally fictitious story about immigrants coming to eat your cats. Like, that’s the purpose of their ‘invasion’. Sure, there’s a lot of generic crime talk, but do bring up the topic during a televised debate shows a depth of doggedness (ha!) to stick to your speech style that is an art form.
And that speech style is to ramble, totally unconcerned with silly things like facts or coherence. Like a gematria decode about cats, pointing out some useless gematria connections about AI cats. Given another term in office, since appealing to a base of loony weirdos is more important than actual facts, we might just see Trump do an actual gematria presentation in a state of the union address.
In fairness to Catzerland and their dilemma, it’s not about true neutrality. It’s more about capitalizing on the two extremes. You love your cat! Good for you, watch out for those scapegoated immigrant criminals! You don’t like cats! Good for you! You love children and the <redacted> vision I have! And Catzerland can always switch to ducks if the heat gets on. People actually do eat ducks without much thought about them being fuzzy and cute like the uneasy feeling you may get about actually eating a cat. It amazes even myself that I’m putting this much effort in to talking about eating cats as opposed to real problems with border security and immigration, it’s that much of a not a real thing non-issue.
This football season’s sports decodes should be lots of fun. Gematria sports clowns love themselves a little bit of emotional forced narrative. If there’s a cat themed mascot team in the college finals and/or the Super Bowl the temptation to make a big deal about the cat thing going on now will be like…catnip. Conspiracy catnip. And picking both sides is the oldest gematria sports grifter trick in the book.
