    True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion. They had all the creators of the top US political TV dramas; The West Wing: Scandal: Veep: House of Cards and others. Every writer and producer said the same thing. If they’d had a character who said that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the advertisers and network bosses would have demanded that the character be hated by all Americans.

        Back in the 1960s, it was a common joke that ronald reagan would never be President because no one would vote for a guy who co-starred with a monkey.

        Today’s GOP would ignore reagan and run the monkey

    Look I get it’s a joke but calling Elon and Putin “our two main antagonists” is mind numbingly stupid and doesn’t seem to be the punchline.

    The only group who I can think of that would be true for would be college freshman from upper middle class backgrounds that get their news exclusively from social media and do not have any attention span as a result of the Adderall shortage.

    Putin has started the largest land war in Europe since WW2. Elon does shit that wouldn’t even put him in the top 5 of evil billionaires. He’s just super active on social media so anyone who puts in the slightest amount of effort can see what he’s up to.
