If our present was a dystopian future, you wouldn't believe it (lemm.ee)

If our current global political reality was presented as the dystopian future in something like Terminator, Bladerunner, or 12 Monkeys, it would have bombed because it was too unbelievable.

"Loved the world building, but a future where Donald Trump, a New York sleezeball, has overthrown the American government with the support of the Supreme Court, the Republican Party, and the religious right and his ICE gestapo soldiers are rounding up Americans, is just too bizarre of a choice. It killed my suspension of disbelief. 1.5 stars" - Pulitzer Prize judge, 1992

What further horrors await us, it's barely April. Rounded to the nearest year, Trump still has 4 more years. 🤮

Our present is the dystopian future the protagonist in a movie sees before they go back and fix it

Shoutout to the protagonist: Will you PLEASE go back and fix this?

Turns out time travel follows MCU rules and not Back to the Future rules. So we’ve sent a protagonist back to fix it, but it just created a new timeline branch that we don’t get to experience - we keep right on this path, forever and ever.
