If you've never read Ta-Nehisi Coates' essay where he declares Trump to be America's first white president, it's well worth the time. The gist is that his entire candidacy rested on being a proud white man taking back the power from that racial usurper Obama, that he possessed no other qualities that made him a credible candidate. That he won was a validation of his racist revenge call. The essay ignores the sexism behind his candidacy in favour of race, but it's still a powerful piece of argument.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑22 Oct 2020, 7:36pmRemember when being stupid was a disqualifier for participating in a civilized society?

Hilarious what they have to do to try and make their saviour look like their stupid idea of masculinity.

I really didn't like Idiocracy with its not-so-subtle echoes of eugenics and cultural elitism, but shit like this keeps throwing itself in my face as a rebuttal.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 8:14amHilarious what they have to do to try and make their saviour look like their stupid idea of masculinity.

I couldn't tell if I didn't find it funny because the jokes were weak or because I just shut down at the entire premise. Especially strange and sad given how much I love Office Space and King of the Hill.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 8:32amJust not a funny film.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 8:31amI really didn't like Idiocracy with its not-so-subtle echoes of eugenics and cultural elitism, but shit like this keeps throwing itself in my face as a rebuttal.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 8:14amHilarious what they have to do to try and make their saviour look like their stupid idea of masculinity.
