1/8: Annihilation isn’t just a sci-fi masterpiece; it’s a mirror to our unraveling. The Shimmer is our polarized reality: distorting truths, mutating ideologies, & erasing collective understanding.

2/8: Like Lena’s team, we’re trapped in the Shimmer—our political climate. Each faction reflects personal fears, traumas, & egos, unable to unite against the bigger existential threat of collapse.
3/8: Trump’s return threatens to amplify the Shimmer’s chaos. Lies mutate into ‘truths,’ fear becomes policy, & collective identity dissolves, much like the grotesque fates of Annihilation’s crew.
4/8: The Shimmer’s mutations parallel Trump-era politics: institutions rewritten, values corrupted, truths unrecognizable. Like in Annihilation, we face self-destruction before understanding our enemy.
5/8: The bear scene in Annihilation is a chilling metaphor. Trumpism, like the bear, devours dissent & weaponizes suffering. Its scream is a warning: what we fear can be absorbed & turned against us.
6/8: Lena’s journey is about confronting the self, but our political Shimmer demands collective action. If we fail, we’ll fracture further—endlessly mutating into systems that devour our humanity.
7/8: Annihilation reminds us that the end may not be loud or sudden—it’s slow, grotesque, and inevitable without intervention. Trump’s presidency risks deepening this transformation into irreparable decay.
