    The end of the American Age is a lot more stupid than I had imagined.

      As an American, this is how stupid we’ve always been, frankly.

        I was going to say, it was clearly heading in this direction for a long time.

      The Mustard Mussolini is more of a Scooby Doo villain. Only the monster costume is his own skin.

    This is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect from Newsom. Remember his podcast interviews with Bannon and Kirk? It was obviously a failed political wiggle to the right when he thought that was the way the winds were blowing, but fate has brought this new opportunity to his doorstep.

    His motives should be seen as nothing more than political ambition. Now that he’s found a worthy opponent in Trump, he’s seeking to scramble to the top of the oppositional hill, the Democrats. That’s where his ambitions end, just another unsuited Democrat for the current climate who wants to return things to the status quo. He’ll be another Biden but this time with an undeniable scrap of charisma.

      Newsom’s not even the Han Solo he’s trying to imply he is here, it’s obvious he’s Lando Calrissian. He’s not your friend, and he’s not going to help you. He’s going to help himself, and that might briefly help you, but don’t count on it. We’ve gotta be our own heroes in this story.

    Somehow Trump has returned… Coincidentally this is also the worst sequel.

    More of a Darth Jar Jar. He can get away with as much evil as he wants so long as he plays a convincing enough dumbass while doing it.

    Trump is actually Hari Seldon and we’re simply unable to comprehend his genius grasp of psychohistory.

    I think I would respect it a lot more if he hired people to make the video. Even if he hired amateurs. He could always say he’s supporting American people. Using AI to make it? Cringe.
