You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

For no f’ing reason, b/c we have systems in place to reign in & do away with that kid in quick order. Except the people in control aren’t afraid of the kid, they’re complicit & enabling him even more!
Billy Mummy played the kid. He would send people "to the cornfield" if he didn't like them or they said bad things about him. Yup. Just like Trump only Trump sends people to El Salvador instead of the cornfield. lol.
The songs on the Dr Demento show used to scare the crap out of me! We’d be “camping out” (in the backyard) and I’d chicken out and go inside after hearing a couple songs on that show… “they’re coming take me away, ha ha he he ho ho..” 😂
And, of course, Dr. Demento launched Weird Al's career.
Trivia:
Dr. D stored his record collection in a 2nd floor room of his home. At one point there were so many the weight of them almost caused the floor to collapse
Not really. You still have a choice, just like Congress and trump's supporters. The choice might be to go against trump and lose the next election but it's still a choice. Trump can't make you disappear like the little boy in the story.
I don't want to be an alarmist or overly argumentative, but Trump has literally been making people "disappear" by sending them to illegal slave camps in El Salvador. So far, this has only happened to non-citizen residents, but it has been completely in defiance of the courts.

Why should we be terrorized by a convicted FELON? He has no special powers, except to serve himself at every turn. That's the definition of a "dark entity."
I've been very vocal both here on XTwitter. I've even tagged the Orange Turd and Dufus Musk; among others many times since Nov 5, 2024.

I've even tagged Felon Trump and said explicitly that retribution is coming.
Between that episode and The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street explaining American politics with Black and Asian communities being the old man who went to check the next town over we’re living The Twilight Zone themes.
Wasn’t that the whole point of the episode “The Wunderkind”. Wait a minute you were in the very first episode of that season.

The episode following this is about a Nazi solder who meats the ghosts of his past when he visits the camp he oversaw during the war... The universe seems to be enjoying this
Almost didn't watch anymore after the first episode but I gave it another shot and I'm so glad I did because the next episode, 15 million Merits, was SO good and is still one of may fave Black Mirror's. The episodes are still hit or miss for me but I think it's worth it overall.
Hell yes!
One of the best analogies I think I've heard. Feel powerless.
The Democrats should have had oversight committees at the ready In Nov! FELON 47 has not ever once in his life been held accountable.
Got a surprise for you.
'IT'S THE GOOD LIFE'…
Here's the link. https://youtu.be/QxTMbIxEj-E?si=fdzDfht-Nz-lNNa5
Billy Mumy, who played Anthony in the Twilight Zone episode It’s a Good Life, also played a young child walking around town dressed in a cowboy suit (a thing in those days) with a six shooter .. and the six shooter was real. Alfred Hitchcock “Bang, You’re Dead.”
I'm sure trying but a few million more people need to get braver. We need to work together like never before and disrupt this circus. Hopelessness isn't going to cut it.
It's kind of hard to be brave in the face of blind loyalty that reconstructs their reality everyday. And when he's gotten rid of, it won't really matter all that much because all of those people, half of our country, will still be here and still believe in the same things he does.
Wasn't Amazing Stories where we got that story about the world war II bomber that had its landing gear sheared off and the guy in the belly turret was stuck? And then cartoon landing gear appears and that somehow saved him?
We saw that here in Canada on TV, loved it. Spielberg was responsible for that show as I recall, so it was a little lighter than typical Twilight zone... Case in point cartoon landing gear on a B-17 bomber.... 😂
So glad to hear someone mention this—my wife and I have discussed it. It describes him and his cultists to a T, even down to their having to constantly praise his every horror and say, “That’s a good thing you did, Donnie, it’s a REAL good thing!” Then he turns his pouty lip towards the camera…
What’s especially interesting is that it’s implied the entire town could just easily take it back from him if they mob him because he can only focus on one thing at a time.
There’s an Italian film from the 90s called ‘Caro Diario,’ by the filmmaker Nanni Moretti, that imagines an entire island where adults are subservient to children & their irrational whims. I’m reminded of it every day.
I didn't see that episode, but why nobody separated the kid from his breathing system, though? Swap "psychic powers" for "ak47" and it would be the right thing to do in real life.
We don't let ONE terrorize or dominate the masses, irrespective of age. We just don't.
Yeah, that was in Twilight Zone: The Movie. But no woman is going to be able to teach empathy to Trump the misogynist. The kid actually wanted real friends and people who cared about him without wanting something from him. Trump is already a full-blown sociopath and psychopath and doesn't care.
I remember. I also remember the sequel episode ("It's Still A Good Life") in the 90s.
It was only slightly less terrifying.
His daughter had the chance to overthrow him but then just decided she'd rather betray humanity and go on a lovely trip with Daddy in the end...
Not really. The kid in Twilight Zone had super powers. The american public is just a bunch of suckers that won't take back their rights by ANY means necessary
You can't just go "well the people arent doing anything about it" while youre not doing anything about it either. Have you gone to a protest? Fought for your rights? Support people trying to fight back with money? If not, then youre just speaking from an armchair, the very thing you complain about.
I like to think we’re the family trapped in the house, with all the doors and windows blocked from the outside, as the temperature keeps going up and up, until everything catches fire and starts to melt, only to find out that it was all a playhouse that got shoved in an oven.
This is the monster. His name is Donny Trump. He's six years old with a ugly, little boy face and blue guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you better start thinking happy thoughts. Because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge. This is the Twilight Zone.
p.s. send this to (y)our public servants everyday in our judicial & legislative & executive branches. they seem to be glazing over it for more money 💸 as a crooked path to consolidate power.
Yes, I feel like a hostage! Liam Neeson has not arrived.
I have been stewing on this since he signed the EO and her attitude in the press room. Her continued flagrant lies parroting his will be her doom. Enjoy. Save the date- June 14th! https://youtu.be/hajWOqxo61k?si=Qv1Q7ntACj6dHiE9
Yikes, I think you are on to something. Sort of reminds me of the X-Files where the guy could soak up the power of lightning & change traffic lights on a whim.
Still 'til we have a solution we are watching a train wreck,
It stings that he is so cruel & stupid, breaking everything.
A pox on his house

Later he was in a band called Barnes & Barnes
One of their hits was Fish Heads
Dr. Demento would play it on his radio show all the time.
I miss that show 😍
Anyway, have fun!

Also, we’re living w/ Chance the Gardener’s Bizarro World twin.
"It's a Good Life" was the episode.
The women clapping are the GOP.

Was in a film, 'Bless the Beasts and Children'
Def of its time.
Eat them up, yum.

He was a kid that was on Lost in Space too.

“Bart’s Nightmare” from “Treehouse of Horror II” (season 3, episode 7).
At the whims of someone having a prolonged psychotic break.

Every single American is needed for this fight. IMHO, a better way to engage the citizenry is to raise us up and encourage us.
We must win this fight together. And, it's going to take more than a village.
Yes we’re doomed.
There are some similarities with the exception that the kid (Billy) was all powerful and this dude (in the present) isn’t!
Also, many do not fear him to the point that they’re unwilling to Resist‼️
And He's trying to make everyone who has ever protested or posted against him to disappear
Hey, a girl can dream.
you Think. where can I get
one of those djt
Voodoo Dolls?
