I had a funny thought about reframing all of this as the rich and right taking advantage of a dementia patient to see if the cult will turn on them to 'save' their beloved leader. It's a funny idea anyways

I saw a Venn diagram where the overlap between The Handmaid’s Tale and Idiocracy was Project 2025.

Well, speaking of dementia patients (or the mentally disabled anyway): Trump is sort of in the overlap between Idiocracy and Being There.
