Fecking FABULOUS!!! Yes, this gave me some chuckles, but also some pretty serious wide eyes! You hit this one perfectly! Incredibly relatable and insightful as I found unnerving parallel to a large portion of my own family (ride or die MAGAS) and their 1990's all in dive to MORE THAN ONE failed pyramid scheme, yet always assured 'this is not a pyramid scheme'. They just couldn't seem to get enough of them. You raised the curtain for me with this:
"In the movie's climactic moments, we see the consequences of unchecked greed catching up with the characters. In our reality TV version, we watched as a man with a string of business failures somehow failed upwards into the highest office in the land, leaving us to wonder if the American Dream had become a pyramid scheme."
Incredibly revealing for me of just how they could throw ALL of themselves behind such a conman as DJT. Living out their fantasies of "getting RICH", yet falling for a too-good-to-be-true CON and having it fizzle out to financial losses they don't dare talk about!" Wow!
This new piece and the movie connections are spot on! Loved it! This is why I am a fan of yours!💜
Thanks kindly Wendy. Wait until you read [Part 3] - its 'shorter snippets' of B movies or 'straight to vhs' releases that you can be sure he found 'profound' in the same way that the normal person would be too embarrassed to have such a film on their home rental blockbuster file. Especially if you do not have a family member to pass the blame onto for the rental ;-) Part 2 posted later today! Part 3 (the funniest) next week. Restack, share, comment, etc ;-) Hope you like the Marx Bros (who doesn't)...
Ooooh, so looking forward to it! I am tuning in! Good to be reading these new posts from you, have been waiting!!! Your posts are always worth the patience! 😁💜
Johnny!
