    Jon Stewart, 2028.

    The problem with Reagan and Trump isn’t that they were actors. The problem is that they were complete pieces of shit long before they were elected.

    Actor-presidents have demonstrated a natural propensity for revolutionary disruption of entrenched attitudes. Reagan completely fucked over economic policy; Trump is completely fucking over the fundamental concept of democracy.

    Imagine that same degree of revolutionary disruption moving us toward egalitarianism rather than corpo-fascism.

      Zelenski worked out pretty well for Ukraine.

      He’s not a saint, but he’s been pretty damn good by understanding.
