Attack the System- Post-Trump America: Prospect for American Democracy 6th March 2021By Jon Kofas After four years of the Trump presidency, there are questions about the US, not necessarily as a ‘model’ or ‘the greatest’ democracy, but about the deeper structural problems at the root of the political turmoil behind “Trumpism” whose legacy will remain, just as Goldwater’slegacy sparked […]Keith Preston

Hilarious…. but that Saturday Morning Watchmen is the best
The Watchmen parody was much more pointed, where this one is kind of all over the place and I can’t tell what exactly it’s satirizing (Still amusing, though).
They both make me want to create a hot intellectual property that will be mangled and abused by bottom-line toymakers. So many artists these days neglect the art of selling out.
the massive gratuitous product placement is hysterical
