You know how all those apocalypse movies start with some idiot in charge, making the worst possible decisions...and everyone in the audience is watching them and thinking, "This is such bullshit. No one would ever be this stupid. Even an idiot would know better."
Well. Here we are.
The pandemic taught me just how fucked we are.
Ghostbusters tried to warn us but did we listen?
WE DIDN'T LISTEN...LIKE AT ALL!
I bet I know what you typed, and if so I bet I know why you deleted it, and it was the first thing I thought of too, and I laughed, and it was funny in 1984, but I agree it might not go over well today. 😄
The reason I'm making all these guesses is that's also the reason I didn't use a different screenshot with more famous dialogue from that scene.
Lol you read my mind
it was an automatic response and then as soon as I hit enter I was like..... Nah better delete. Part of me regrets it but easier than having to explain it if somebody hadn't seen the scene and took it the wrong way
💯
Somehow this was never really picked up on/reported after Trump's first term, but I try to spread this information as much as I can.
Trump's CTO during his first term, was Peter Thiel's protege. In March of 2020, Trump asked him to use cutting edge technology to fight COVID disinformation and track the spread of the virus before it got out of hand.
That's also the guy he picked for his fucking science advisor this time around, and now he's asked him to "blaze a trail," for U.S. tech supremacy.
From the 2020 Hill article
Peter Thiel's new protege is JD Vance.
