at the same time, i'm pretty arms length with real politics rn.
i did have a reacton to Menkin being a thing like it was really happening. Partially due to Trump flashbacks, and part because i could see it really happening. My biggest fear is always a 'trump' that isn't a complete buffoon. I mean yeah we can say Trump is a fascist but I doubt he could even tell you what fascism is.

As far as the party comments stuff, i think it's pretty dead on. Roman's been spitting those reddit shitposter comments since the show started. i think its part of why he found Menkin so seductive (both literally and figuratively)
Even Tom/Greg's Hamilton exchange in this setting was gold.

this was my favorite episode of the season, but that said i completely get it. There so much stuff the last few years i didn't watch because i'm like man i don't wanna think about this shit ALL the time lol
