      “Trump’s new tax on the wealthy will help million of low income families”

      That’s honestly the only Onion title I would fact check at this point.

        You can’t even make fun of this shit anymore. Imagine a movie in 2016 where the president of the us is an obese idiot who sells beas from the oval office. Americans would be like: c’mon, what the fuck? We’re not that stupid.

      I really wish people would stop saying Idiocracy is a documentary, it’s not. President Camacho was able to see his shortcomings and hired the smartest man in the world to fix things, that’s not happening in real life.

      Idiocracy is something for us to aspire to.

    For context, his Big Idiot Bill passed, but polling on it has been horrendous. This is another distraction.

    This feels really psychotic. All of this really makes me want to question reality. Are we in a simulation? Are we an experiment by an advanced alien race, and they’re tweaking parameters to study us?

    Trump is like a grade school bully, in a lord of the flies scenario. He’s got all this power and he’s bringing in his bully friends and they’re doing shit grade school bullies would do with all this power.

    And all the people who voted for him…

    None of this makes any sense. The end is nigh?
