Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”
They are literally being deceived to death.

The movie was so good yet so horribly FRUSTRATING because it’s way too fucking accurate
Fun fact: that movie was made pre-COVID
Holy shit, I assumed most of it was direct satire of COVID
Iirc it was a satire of their views on climate change.
Pool Shark!
This is correct.
McKay got a lot of shit for this film being so on the nose, but the fact that it quietly worked as an allegory for both climate change and covid is a testament to how well it lands its message. Like Idiocracy, not a 10/10 movie, but undeniably prophetic.
I think the reason it works so well, and what the movie got right, was how the right uses rhetoric to downplay anything that isn’t in line with their goals to maintain power.
The same movie could have been made to satire Trans people, left handed people, immigrants…anything the right hates.
