Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

Any normal person would see a maniac. Yet, if you remember Sideshow Bob would have been an effective mayor bring prosperity to Springfield, due to his Republican Capitalist ways. Which is ironic as Democratic Mayor Quimby has had lots of scandalous accusations that really should have got him voted out. Sideshow Bob did his own Watergate, got caught and arrested.
Sideshow Bob got caught ironically for doing what the Democrats "allegedly" do, which was had dead people and dead pets voting for him. Lisa and Bart were particularly pissed that Snowball voted for Bob.

I think it was even mentioned that Bob would have won a fair election, but they needed a reason to not have him be the mayor stick.

Even though I love that episode of the Simpsons, it's uncanny on how accurate it is to today's standard. Especially when it comes to politics.

That’s because Democrats have been doing this shit in California since the 90’s, and just accuse the Republicans of it first to make any legitimate accusations sound like “no u”.
 
I much preferred when Cartoon Network used fictional characters for their mock elections. Nickelodeon pretends this is somehow serious and official, which makes it come off like the kids from 1984. It should be something creative and fun, not this doubleplusgood tripe, but of course we’re decades past the golden era of cable channels. Probably barely have money for bumpers.
Why this wasn't an election between Spongebob and...wait, what other cartoons does Nickelodeon even have at this point? Don't they just play zombie Spongebob forever? Maybe they didn't do a cartoon election because they don't have two different cartoon characters?

It's also how they sell it to the line members. The stance being that "Republicans are cheating, therefore we have to cheat too to make it 'fair'."

Remembering that "the entire US other than some racists in the south agree with the progressives, the right just keeps winning because they cheat."

The Loud House, They go way overboard with Spongbob.
 
Bad news. The Nickelodeon Kids' Pick is an unfortunate presage for Trump...

Oh, so Nick had to eliminate some... uh... "unfair" votes.

HOLY CRAP. Even in a pretend election for children :story:
What's that? The cartoon channel that rigged their shitty kid's choice awards to always give it to Rugrats every year until they stopped giving a shit rigged another vote? Oh no.

Good ol Tom Tomorrow.

Remember, Republicans understand Democrats, but disagree with them.

Democrats have no fucking idea what Republicans think.

Edit:

The Republicans in Tom Tomorrow's mind believe:
  • Republicans hate listening to scientists.
  • Republicans are stoopid and won't wear masks.
  • Trump might "pack the supreme court" (by filling a vacant seat)
  • Republicans have a "stranglehold on the judicial branch"
  • Antifa is a scary pointless buzzword.
  • Republicans are pointlessly scared (probably cause they're racists) of Low Income Housing int he Suburbs (which would require a complete civic re-engineering of the suburbs to support the housing complexes)
  • Republicans believe some stupid Hunter Biden scandal that's too stupid to even articulate.
  • Trump doesn't think Coronavirus is a realthing and are callous about death.
It's like a concentrated TD50 dose of pure TDS and Narrative.
Alright alright I'll vote blue, just please stop making these comics!
 
Would you consider yourself a 9/11 truther?
Not really. It's public knowledge that Dick Cheney ordered the Air Force to shoot down Flight 93. It's worth entertaining that they probably did it, especially if it pisses people like this off with their dumb propaganda. Ditto with Lucky Larry Silverstein and other crazy "coincidences." It's clear there was a lot of grift involved in the aftermath and the elites get incredibly mad when you poke fun about it.

I remember when the Turn of the Millenium happened and Nickelodeon spent the entire day in January 1st 2000 gushing about the future, interviewing kids, showing mini-documentaries about what may happen to the world... And little 8-year old me was pissed because I wanted to watch Peanuts and Hey Arnold and were showing this Discovery Channel bullcrap instead.

It seems it was a signal of things to come. This and the "8-and-a-half minutes of a dark screen in memory of Fentanyl George Groid" stunt. Now kids can't be kids anymore; they're small adults that must be molded as early as possible for the shit adults pull for themselves.

Mermaid Man as a Joe Biden standin, and Mr. Krabs as a Trump standin

To be fair, that was most of human history. Child labour not being accepted is a product of 19th century labour movements that a lot of people here would write off as communist.

Things used to be "fun" until the Internet took things too seriously.

Nickelodeon's Kids Pick the President has been "blue no matter who" for the past 5 elections, even pulling for Kerry. Its almost like parent company Viacom has an agenda or something....

For most of human history, though, the average person's labor was either relatively relaxed work that wouldn't be ruined by a childish personality (i.e. hunting for nuts and berries in prehistoric humans) or it was back-breaking labor for a very short portion of the year as in pre-industrial farm families. They worked to extremes that would make slaves blush during harvest and planting seasons, but spent the rest of the year essentially free. There was minor work to be done in order to sustain a household, but it was nothing a child shouldn't be expected to handle. I'm sure there were exceptions (probably miners, if I had to guess), but they weren't widespread social issues.

Basically, we only invented child labor laws because we invented forms of labor that a child's body is capable of handling, but their mind isn't. The idea of "children as smaller versions of their adult selves" is very much a post-industrial thing as far as I'm aware.

In Roman times children were enslaved in mines, in households, and in various industries. For example, children had to stomp cloth in dyeing plants for hours on end. During the mediaeval era, boys were apprenticed at very young ages and had to work very hard in whatever industries they were assigned to.

If you're talking about literal hunter gathering tribes that's different, but I said history, not prehistoric times.
