To be fair the people voting against him also couldn't fucking remember what he was like in the 80s because I basically never hear about that either.
How does Yas Forums feel about Bloom County?

It's something to read at least once. May not be your favorite newspaper strip but it made an impact in the 80's and in the 90's with Outland that I can see it's influence in today's funnies.

As a person that was born in 1976 I always loved it. It was great for its time.
Best way I can describe it is in the context of "NOT Hillary" plus the blind polarization now.
>80's Trump = clown
>90's Trump = clown
>00's Trump = clown
>10's Trump = savior of the galaxy
I don't get it myself, that last election made me really wish for some kind of boring Mccain vs Kerry battle of the John's. What we ended up with was a South Park "Douche vs Turd Sandwich".

It's not hard to imagine, Trump despite fucking up in business a few times (remember when people joked about him being bankrupt in the early 90's?) is really good at crafting an image and recovering. Think about The Apprentice, his involvement with WWF/WWE, or all these commercials he's appeared in the past decades:

And is partly right: I honestly think there was way too much arrogance on part of the entertainment industry and their media shills. I noticed this happening even with comics sites but you could see it happening at a lot of places over the course of the 2010's. They didn't realize the more they tried to antagonize everybody while claiming a moral highground, they would end up driving people to support someone like Trump.

My parents used to love this. They had dozens of clippings from the strip's original run, and a few collections, so I grew up with it well after it stopped running. The political satire was lost on me as a kid, I just liked the characters and the wacky situations they would get into. I can appreciate a lot more now, but at the same time it's not nearly as funny. Hindsight is a bitch.

I can't look at it anymore without thinking about Britbongsteros.

For some reason this was a part of my childhood library.
It's weird because I was not aware of the comic nor were my parents fans.

That; Goodnight, Opus; and A Wish For Wings That Work were the three Outland-related children's books he did while doing Outland. He did other children's books after those, including Mars Needs Moms.

Michael Moore said something like: "Donald Trump is a human molotov cocktail, and come November, people are going to throw him through the window into the White House, just to watch it all burn... The election of Donald Trump will be the greatest 'Fuck you' in human history."
Which I always thought summed it up. Very narrow margin to be sure, and if it was anyone but Hillary, it might not have worked.
Good thing they learned their lesson and nominated someone young and hungry like Biden. With the tireless energy, brilliant campaign speeches, and bold organizing that allowed him to prevail over Bernie, Trump is in for a fight. Imagine if they were silly enough to nominate an old apparatchik who made it so student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy, has a history of creepy behaviour around women, and shady connections to Ukraine, thereby hamstringing themselves on key lines of attack they might want to pursue against Trump. It'd be a sign the Democratic party is so insular and boneheaded it probably needs to be burned to the ground.
