Apparently there's a whole series. It starts out called "Trump's Titans", then they started a new run and I've given up on this summary already. This. This whole thing. It's draining. It is a hot cobalt sphere of numbing smooth -- right through my brain. I wasn't even looking for political things, I found it by accident. They fight elon musk in the latest issue.

I've said before that Donald Trump represents a sea-change in american politics, the fusion of it with reality television programming. It's not like he was the first, John Stuart had already been turning political news into TV entertainment for a solid decade or so. But Trump marks the point where it becomes the new 'meta' -- and not just for the republicans. Considerations of policy, of strategy, of people's lives. It's been drained from discusion. I mean, it's not like it was great before, but it was there. Now... it's just empty back and forth about what figure A said about representitive B. Far more people are keeping up with it, but their keeping up with it in the most shallow way. "Ruthkanda forever".

For a moment I thought this was a "Good morning!" post of foccaults but noooooo, you just had to become another guy posting this.

Is that Andrew Yang or Mayo Pete on the left??

If that's Yang (don't know why he'd be here since he is chairman of the Progress Party or whatever), having a huge MATH on his chest is pretty sus

Yang wore a MATH hat and used MATH as one of his slogans during the 2020 presidential race

Seriously, I hate having to share an identity with these cringey fucks.

Ugh, American politics used to be a bunch of lawyers who never passed the bar, who sucked but at least they knew what their jobs were. Now its a bunch of influencers too unattractive and boring for youtube and they have merch. Who would pay $5 for this dreck?

No, it's AOC. There's apparently a trilogy starring her by the same people?

AyyyyyOC Finally, the web-crawling latina superheroine from Queens that all the fans have been asking for!
