You KNOW that JFK is returning from the dead to reveal that he is a Republican, right? And I’ve been told that Michael Moore is playing a very long game, and plans to run in 2148.
If there ever was an opening for him to run for president (or any office for that matter) it was in the 2000s when George W. Bush was president and Moore was at his peak as a filmmaker venturing into political advocacy which won him awards and made him a thorn to the Republicans. He hasn’t done anything that matches those heights since Bush left office.
Oh. Um. You know I was the first 18-year-old elected in the state of Michigan when they lowered the voting age to 18. I ran for board of education because I wanted to fire the principal and the assistant principal. I won, and a year later they were gone. So I learned at an early age that if you got involved, you could effect change. Then I retired from politics at 22. Everybody should do it. You should do it.
Of course, then we have the problem of figuring out why he used the name “Michael Moore”, which seems guaranteed to cause confusion with the much-better known filmmaker. Oh, and also why he thinks a relatively obscure politician who apparently hasn’t done anything significant since 2004 would think a primary challenge to an incumbent President was in any way a good or sensible idea.
Well I had no idea personally that Michael Moore was still a liberal boogeyman. I associate him more with the Bush years. Republicans these days seem more obsessed with trying to scare people with the prospect of an AOC presidency or something similar.
Can I be the only person stunned at the fact that this thread hasn’t been merged into the SRIOTD thread? It would let us start SRIOTD Mk III and put this stinker out of its our misery in one swell foop.
