One of the more depressing examples of this would be Jason Windsor, better known as the "End Of Ze World" guy, who is known for the way humourously depicted a nuclear war in one of the internet's first ever viral videos (2003).
He has since followed this up with the mother of all disappointing sequels in 2018...
...which is pretty much nothing but jokes about Trump and callbacks to the original. Democrat talking points are made (he wants to deport Mexicans, ban Muslins, transgender military ban, etc). It also relies very heavily on grossout humour, whereas the original didn't at all.
Trump is drawn with a butt for a face. Trump is drawn as a hemorrhoid. Steve Bannon is drawn as a fatberg. Trump is shown farting out tweets - twice. Trump is drawn with an extremely small penis. He is also shown jousting with Kim Jong-Un with nuclear missiles held at groin-height. And he is later shown starting a nuclear war with his tweets.
The video ends with a call to action telling people to vote out Trump and contact their elected representatives - so that California doesn't have to break away, and the United States truly can be for everyone... except for the alt-right nahtzees, who can all fuck off to Mars or something.
(I know I'm late to the party with this, but AFAIK no one was talking about it on the Farms at the time.)
My point is that no one
told him to make this. I mean, Vox did give him
an interview, but I sense that he wanted to do it anyway, because he actually said in the interview that
both videos were the result of him sperging about world events.
The difference is that when leftists sperged on the early internet, they didn't take themselves too seriously, and generally often kept the tone light. When leftists sperg now, it's done with the conviction of someone who is certain they're on the right side of history, and that we're living through the second Holocaust.
