If our current global political reality was presented as the dystopian future in something like Terminator, Bladerunner, or 12 Monkeys, it would have bombed because it was too unbelievable.
"Loved the world building, but a future where Donald Trump, a New York sleezeball, has overthrown the American government with the support of the Supreme Court, the Republican Party, and the religious right and his ICE gestapo soldiers are rounding up Americans, is just too bizarre of a choice. It killed my suspension of disbelief. 1.5 stars" - Pulitzer Prize judge, 1992
What further horrors await us, it's barely April. Rounded to the nearest year, Trump still has 4 more years. 🤮
I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.
