Idiocracy came out in 2006. Trump went to Wrestlemania in 2007.

“LIBERALS just listen to ACTORS and CELEBRITIES who TELL THEM WHAT TO THINK”

Meanwhile, a gold idol of a B-lister stands at the RNC…

Trump was the loudest, but he was a big dumb animal who didn’t know or care how the machine worked. Younger Americans especially don’t understand the depth of the tangible damage Reagan did legislatively and culturally. History will likely remember His tenure as the root instigator of our eventual collapse.

He converted his former opposition into bribe taking neoliberals while legislating giving EVERYTHING to the rich with the lie of it raining down prosperity on all… someday lol. Almost all the economic pain most Americans are feeling today is due to Reagan’s lasting changes to what our economy and tax structure rewards, and our warped, irrational cultural perception of the role of the economy and the need to regulate it.

If I could snap my fingers and undo either Trump or Reagan’s presidency, it wouldn’t be a contest. Trump is just yet another symptom of the cult of willful ignorance Reagan Republicans cultivated.

I mean, if we’re finger-snapping people I’d have started with Nixon. Much of what Reagan was, Nixon paved the way for. Most of the modern GOP’s playbook can be traced back to Nixon – that includes the overt racism, the antisemitism, the warmongering, the proto-fascist behavior, the war on drugs, all of it.

Nixon is the original ratfucker. His second term was explicitly all about getting revenge on his perceived “enemies.” Sound familiar? Nixon said in an interview, “When the President does it, that means it’s not illegal.” Sound familiar? When he was under investigation regarding the Watergate break-in, he responded by firing the attorney general in charge of investigating him. Sound familiar?

It’s uncanny. Where he faltered was just being so blatantly unlikable. If Nixon had managed to be charismatic in addition to remaining as much of an utter bastard as he was, I think the world would be an even worse place today than it is already.

I’ve heard it said, and I really believe it is true, that if you assume everything awful in the world is Reagan’s fault you’ll be right significantly more often than you are wrong.

As an activist, this is funny to me. This is word for word one of the arguments people make against lowering the voting age.

But you remind them that old people elected Reagan and Trump and all of a sudden ThAtS dIfFeRenT.

I’ll never forgive Biden for the draconian shit he spearheaded in the 90s as a Senator. I consider him to be a piece of shit human being. That said, he’s Steve Rogers compared to Trump and he has my enthusiastic vote as least worst by by leaps and bounds.

Eh…Steve Rogers is taking it a bit far.

Maybe Scott Lang. Or Clint Barton.

Ooh, he’s MODOK after his redemption believing he was an avenger just before he died.

Appropriate given how his Senate career contrasts with decent things he’s done as President.

Scott Lang is a dude I could hang with. Cheerfully.

Steve and Clint: hmmm moralizing or agonizing. Tough choice. I’d stay home.

Unless there’s new news (heh) she didn’t endorse Biden recently. She just said to register to vote.

I know, I just think it’s ridiculous and funny at their expense that something as historically common, mundane, and benign as An American celebrity even potentially making an endorsement has become a vast conspiracy to Republicans, especially considering they literally vote in celebrities to be President.

So it’s somehow wrong for a celebrity to weigh in with their opinion on politics, but feel free to run for the role of most powerful politician of all? I know they have no such logic or rationality, but it’s still funny when they exercise their nonsensical world view for all to see unironically.
