I mean, for
serious, the present day is bizarre if you stop and think about it
from the perspective of what, if we survive the Orange Supremacist's
attempts to dick wave at “ Crazy Rocket Man”, will have to be
included in future political science textbooks:
“Okay, so
there was a huge fascist revival that first came to public prominence
as a harassment campaign against one female game developer.”
“The
fascist revival adopted a cartoon frog as their new mascot and god.
When a fascist was explaining this on television they got punched in
the face and it became a meme. It also became a sort of competitive
sport at his future speaking engagements.”
“The
fascists founded a fictional nation, made a flag for it and named it
after their frog god.”
“Okay, so
internet memes and their political significance...”
“Here is a
photo of the future 45th President of the United States
failing to sell a Stone Cold Stunner at Wrestlemania 23. Here is
another photo of his appearance in Home Alone 2.”
“A massive
vote winner was the promise to save an obsolete fuel industry whose
entire US infrastructure employed fewer people than the Arby's
restaurant chain.” (Totally true fact, I swear)
“Another
vote winner was a promise to build a wall across the entire US/Mexico
border. There follows fifty-sxeven pages of detailed costings and
basic geography that prove how impossible that would be.”
“In Great
Britain, the generation who spent twenty years telling their children
not to believe anything they read on Wikipedia collectively decided
'but if its on the side of a bus, it must be true'.”
“After
claiming their opposition was soft on terrorism, the Conservative
Party lost their majority in an election they had no reason to call
and ended up entering a coalition with the political offshoot of a
terrorist organisation.”
“The
Kremlin used social media to try and stop British pensioners from
getting their flu jabs.”
“There was
an annual controversy amongst conservatives about Starbucks holiday
themed cups that got so entrenched that in 2017, in sheer
desperation, they decided that a pair of simplified cartoons hands
drawn on the cup were both so slim they must represent a clear
advocacy for lesbianism.”
“In a
separate incident, US conservatives ritually destroyed their
coffeemakers in support of Sean Hannity.”
“The
coffeemaker incident was tangentially related to an Alabama election
where 'Republican pedophile or Democrat not a pedophile' was a
genuinely hard decision for thousands of people.”
“The
president supported the pedophile, by the way.”
“There was
a transphobic conspiracy theory concerning the chemical composition
of soy milk.”
