It is wild how both wings of the capitalist party keep managing to one-up each other in presenting/supporting folks that are copies of dystopian movie villains. Like just over the top caricatures of of evil mega-corp baddies in Robocop or something. Trump folks back a “big-shot fuck over everyone to get to the top” character that is freaking tropes for days in the context of movies. Yet they believe beyond all belief that he is actually a hero “fighting for the every man” against corruption. The libs blindly believe that their entitled fake “from these streets” VP is actually even concerned about helping real people and not just as much a trope as Trump. Then we have the most needing to have his face mutilated Matthew Miller mouth peace of the empire promoting genocide.
Movie villains like these fucks are made so over the top to be clear that they are evil. To the point that viewers of said movies laugh at how stupid the populations in them are for supporting them in the first place. Just like how people today can’t believe how average Germans or Italians would be so dumb to allow fascists to take over. Even if I weren’t a leftist, I would still be weirded out by how fucking sad this shit is (and still think how much I want someone to just fuck up Miller’s whole face).
