This is brilliant! I actually thought about the Jaws/Mayor meme after the election. Also, thank you for getting the dogs name correct, I called him Pippin for years.

Lots of people call him that! Turns out the dog who played him was called Pipit, so that’s why he’s called that in the movie. Such a good dog.

Because I watch Jaws on the 4th of July I have the yearly reminder that Pippit is the saddest death in that movie.

Brilliant, and as Rump himself would say "Sad. Very sad."

Does it still count as satire when it really feels like this is a conversation that could be happening?

(This was great and I immediately shared it with other people cause if you don't laugh, you'll cry)

When real life is a farce, just describing it counts as satire 😭
