Yep, speaking from the outside, one of the main things that always baffles me about Trump + the broader US reactionary project is that their vision of American culture is just so... *shit*, to put it bluntly. Just sort of bland and monotone with half-hearted attempts at more that look fake and tacky

One thing that's kind of annoyingly surreal about the Trump administration, the second even more than the first, is how much it feels like an outrageously offensive stereotype of Americans to such an extreme it'd be rejected as absurd if pitched as fiction to even the biggest USA Haters in 2014.

Like, you know, the thing *THE SIMPSONS* was a parody of!
There were earlier parodies too, eg. The Flintstones (1960-66), The Addams Family (1964-66). How is it that The Addams Family is too edgy for them?
