Ridiculous and malign, all at once.

I composed this one very slowly. I began while I was preoccupied with the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This is the source of the track's title, a strange turn of phrase because the famous fictional serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter is neither "late", being depicted as a living person, nor "great" in a traditional sense. It's therefore a facially ridiculous phrase, but also a threatening one in that it raises the specter of an archetypal killer in service of fomenting hostility toward immigrants. This is to say it captures well how I feel about my country right now.
