I live in the Midwest where I spent my childhood winters building snow forts and walking across frozen lakes. This morning my kid asked if we could go to the state park and swim in the river and something in my brain gave way. lmao

I saw the initial wave of poor reviews and felt like they all had a pretty clear "this movie is making me really uncomfortable and I fundamentally disagree with it" kind of tone that was weird.

I grew up in Maine, I only remember one Christmas that wasn’t a white Christmas. moved back here in 2014 with my kids. my daughter commented yesterday that this was the first Christmas she had seen snow on the ground (a measly inch or two). that was a good crack ping

I feel like there was some Hillary-ness to the President, in the early scenes - the focus on the midterms, worries about deadlock in the house etc, before she went Full-Trump. Did get a hearty lol at "Divest from BASH" though

I thought there were a few oddly pulled punches, but maybe that's the cost of DOD cooperation. Really liked it. I felt better about the Trumpy bits by rationalizing that idiocracy would probably feel that way today too - "we are for the jobs that the comet will bring" bought them a lot of forgiveness from me though.

I mean, the Supreme Court nominee thing was a clear call-back to Harriet Miers from Dubya's term, the Sheriff was clearly a Joe Arpaio stand-in... But it's very much an indictment of "enlightened liberals" as well as an excoriation of "working class rubes" who buy into the bullshit.

Something along the lines of, "we had our scientists look at it and we aren't so sure it's actually a problem"

Another shitlib take absolving the rich by saying it's not that they're evil, it's that they're stupid! Cope and cape. My masters wouldn't let such a thing happen to me if they just gosh darn knew better.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Another shitlib Again, we're all crabs in the same boiling pot. Doesn't matter your political ideology. And the movie didn't absolve the rich at all, it showcased them as shameless opportunists and implied that if the proletariat were exposed to the actual truth the world would catch on fire. Or that there'd be "trickle down" from the comet jerbs! Seriously, did we all watch the same movie, or is this seriously some Plato Allegory of the Cave poo poo where people are just seeing what their worldview allows them to?
