    This important piece of American history is kinda like an early 2000s Myspace page, or something embarrassing and juvenile like that. Like, let’s not forget that we’re dealing with an existential threat to our country and way of life that’s taken the form of Donald fuckin Trump, quite possibly the trashiest piece of 80s excess and reality TV to ever walk this planet. The whole thing is both very stupid and incredibly serious.

    If it’s any comfort, I’m sure there were people in the 30s who thought getting messages from Hitler and FDR over those newfangled radios was kind of trashy too.

      If any of us were sent back in time to try to stop him, could we convince anyone that this is actually real?

      It feels so surreal watching Trump take power. It’s like living in a Simpsons cartoon.

      Lol I suppose there is a sort of poetry in the coverage matching the subject matter.
