I can't believe this is all real.
We are in the worst possible timeline. This all seems like a huge parody.
More like a sarcastic and bitter cyberpunk dystopia, with a lot of black humor.
We're basically living through Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan comics right now.
Question is, if Donald Trump is "The Beast", will he really be succeeded by the even worse "Smiler"??
The idea of Trump as The Beast has a lot going for it, although I shudder at the all-too-likely idea he'll get two terms. (And I'm not sure Trump does even "the bare minimum" of the job of President that The Beast does.)
But yeah, the idea that Trump will be succeeded by a person who is publicly his opposite, but secretly a murderous and Machivellian complete sociopath seems about par for the course on where our country is headed.
(Oh, and in reality the idea of The Truth is dead and no ones cares anyway.)
