for the better part of a century, nazis have been this almost cartoonish symbol of evil. i’ve seen film critics complaining about how it’s lazy to use nazis as the baddies in your movie, because it creates too simple a moral dichotomy – might as well use zombies or aliens, for all anyone cares about nazis getting mowed down by the dozens. nazis are so bad that comparing anyone to them was seen as really over-the-top, heavy-handed rhetoric.
and then suddenly, the president-elect is appointing literal real life nazis to his cabinet, and the media is like “well maybe this is the new normal” – fucking what?
“and for secretary of state, i’m appointing pyramid head jones, who enjoys chopping up nurses with a giant cleaver, let’s give him a round of applause” “yeah ok that sounds legit”
“please welcome our future budget minister, skeletor!” “sure no problem”
“surgeon general mola ram will now take questions from the press” “sir does the blood of kali really cure all diseases?” “drink it and you will feel no mortal pain” “wow, this is way better than obamacare!”
seriously how the fuck is anyone acting like this is normal??? FUCKING HYDRA IS MOVING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE THIS IS NOT POLITICS THIS IS THE INTRO TO AN 80′S ACTION MOVIE.
