American Hitler.

That’s too reasonable for Donnie’s cultists to understand.

This is the GOP:

Hell, for that matter you’d think they’d want to ban oil exports entirely.

He is just saying this because his rural cult sees EVs, wind and solar as cultural genocide. They want their manly gas powered lifestyle to continue forever. 

Today’s Republican party has lost the ability to plan ahead to make the country stronger positioned against the rest of the world.

Analysts predict widespread EV adoption will continue to develop regardless of Donald Trump’s actions

So what else would you expect from American Hitler?

And let me guess, they’ll be better the moment Don is back in office and can figure a way to grift a few million by flip flopping on this vow...

Do you think Joe Biden invented the electric car?

I kind of look at it the same way I look at the Evil Dead movies with Ash. Story comes first, and if it doesn’t fit with the continuity of previous stories, fuck it. That being said, I think a lot of the timeline could be taken with a grain of salt. The collapse of society could be as the first film happened, or years…

It’s fine. It just follows the shifting “relative timeline” rules of, say, The Simpsons or comic books.

the mad max movies might not be connected, but furiosa and fury road sure are. 

It’s not that they didn’t know, it’s that it wasn’t thought about because it’s not part of their lives. Do you know how many Americans die without having even seen the ocean, much less an orca, much less what Seaworld used to be like? Emphasis on “used”, because, of course, Blackfish inspired uproar, and then change.

Yeah, I assure you D’Souza was in formation long before Spurlock was around. I first heard about him when I was an undergraduate in the early 1990's. His resurgence as a...whatever he is... in the last 15-20 years was a disgusting surprise to me. Film-maker, that’s what he is?? 

I just googled it. It was six weeks after the release of SSM that McDonald’s discontinued the super size as well as introduced an emphasis on healthier menu items. McDonald’s vehemently denies that it was due to SSM..

Yup. I get to read medical studies of all stripes almost once a week for work, and nothing bugs me more than people who magically expect that same amount of rigor from a pop culture moment.

Idk about the US but Canadian McDonald’s stopped selling super size stuff after that film came out tho. Large is the biggest you can get for at least a decade now.

Agree that context and timeline is really important here. Yes, if Super Size Me came out in 2024 everyone would say “duh”. Part of the reason everyone would say duh is because Super Size Me came out in 2004. Which then paved the way for Food Inc, Jamie Oliver, and ten million Netflix documentaries on the subject that…

Super Size Me was one of the sparks in the discussion about fast food, but for a more holistic, less sensationalistic view, read Fast Food Nation - much more in-depth. And I’m not talking about the bad movie they made based on it.
