    Yes, there was a whole running narrative about bill the cat having his brain replaced with trumps back in the 80’s. my now completely crazy, maga dad, turned me on to bloom county as a kid so most of my politics likely took root with a large nosed penguin and his friends. Then when I hit high school, I found rage against the machine.

    But yeah, I never watched any of his reality shows, this is the turnip I knew, until he became the actual president. My brain has not recovered.

      Oh god, I remembering a bit! Was following the daily release of Bloom Country when lemm.ee shut down. To this day, I can’t think of a more perfect snapshot of 80’s life. Anyone wanting to know what it was really like, read Bloom Country front to back.
