Remember folks: you don't need to outlive the virus, just RFK's brain worm. He won't be in power after trump. Two more years of washing your hands and wearing a mask ain't that bad.

knowing RFK dont be surprised if we find out soap is the supposed cause for autism.
Yeah, but its also probably a billion dollar industry: so nothing will change. Not even the hygiene of maga chuds.
Didn't the brain worm already starve to death?
2 years? That's unreasonably optimistic.
Coincidentally, RFK Jr looks like one of the puppets from the music video.
Whenever I remember that song, I always remember this verse:
Well *gestures to the general world* we're waiting, Phil!
Phil (from ontop on his pile of money): I didn't mean ME specifically. Someone though...
More pettiness from the infant-in-chief:

Trump revokes Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris
Vice presidents typically only get six months of protection after they leave office, but President Biden signed a memorandum in January extending Harris' protection to 18 months.

I know this is not fully relevant to this thread, and possibly only vaguely appropriate for the wider forum, but… I caught about 15 minutes of one of the Michael Bay Transformers films. Not the first one, not the one with Sir Anthony Hopkins in, so one of the others; they all look mostly the same to me. I noticed how fascist the aesthetics of the film were. So aggressive and militaristic and anti-intellectualist and just… Horrific. And the worst thing is that none of these were parodies or satires of the overly belligerent blockbuster action film genre, they were made completely ‘straight’.
Basically, I’m now thinking that the Bayformers films were a major cultural precursor to MAGA movement. The vibes were and are basically the same.

I think it was more just bay being bay more than anything.
American military movies are either dramas about the horrors of war or jingoistic testosterone fests, with nothing really in between (the occasional parody aside). The Bay films lean into the latter pretty heavily, but to say it has anything to do with MAGA when it was a long-established trope for decades beforehand feels like a stretch.
Because they know the American public are too ideologically-minded to handle nuance and will accuse everything that doesn't pander to their exact worldview of being propaganda for the other side. Meaning anything in between will get accused of this and hated by everyone.
Mildly related:
Me and my friends were at the theater watching "tears of the sun" way back when (2003!
does not feel that long...) and... the movie ended. The final scene was a bombing run that summarily obliterated the enemy force. Most of the theater was quiet for it, because... overwhelming force applied to an unprepared contingent. That is not a feel good moment, it is not patriotic or heroic. It is a thing that happens in war: but it's not something you cheer.Except for a hand full of chuckle ***** that jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming "god bless america"... in a movie theater in quebec...
At least one of them had situational awareness: cause they promptly de-assed the cinema. Not like anyone would have done anything other than disapproving looks. Guess they were just trolling.
Edgelords come in all nationalities.
But then they'll claim (often in direct defiance of the obvious) that older movies and shows were more nuanced (and/or that their politics were less important to them) than the newer ones they want to complain about.
