In the years past, woke elements in movie trailers and whatnot would just make me feel rage. They still do, but there is a silver lining of shadenfreude of knowing that for the next year to two years, the stuff they wrote, they were making with the thought that Kamala was going to be president.
LIke there's this movie trailer about 2 months ago that Anthony Cumia made fun of, of this black woman president who's an action hero. It's like Air Force One/Die Hard type premise, except the hero is a black woman who is also the president.
You KNOW it was greenlit and written with the thought that when this movie releases we will actually have an Indian err I mean black woman president. So to see the entire reason for this movie existing having the rug pulled out from it is very satisfying. It doesn't even get to serve it's proper purpose of being a demoralizing humiliation ritual.
If anyone sees the trailer while Trump is now president, they laugh and go "man can you imagine....what a bullet we dodged".
Whereas that trailer would have a much different weight of frustration given if Kamala was successfully installed.
So I get a bit of delight seeing the woke trailers (another one being this movie called "one battle after another" by Paul Thomas Anderson...look it up it's woke) because I can envision the writers and directors angry at how "this wasn't supposed to be the world my demoralizing 'vision' got released into!"
I wonder if in 3 years we'll start seeing if movies have a different tone, ones that started their production cycle after Trump already got elected.
We will see a whole raft of films centering around the rise of fascism (some historical, some near future-type) and democracies being dismantled from within by evil leaders.
And not one of them will be a good political/military thriller, which is honestly a travesty considering the fall of a government and rise of a new order can be explored in so many fascinating ways. Guess that’s what you get when you trade any nuance or subtlety for cheap digs to own the trumptards.
I expect to see some biopics about Hitler and Mussolini, and they will include completely fabricated speeches where they'll say they will "make Germany/Italy great again!"
"Make Deutschland Magnificent Again", aka MDMA because you'll need that to make it through the production.
Didn't Mustache Man have some drug habit?
Nose candy, I thought.

I'd be on harder candies after italian fumbles everywhere.
The phrase possibly originates from the UK in 1950 when used by Margaret Thatcher during a General Election speech.
I've been rereading some older comics, Supreme Power and Robots In Disguise, the first being an alternate Superman type story and the second unsurprisingly a Transformers story. In both the PoTUS ends up being a black woman after long enough passes in the former and the previous administration gets wiped out by the Decepticons in the latter.
Both are utterly useless and cause so many more problems by repeatedly relying on how they feel about situations despite experienced advisors telling them to stop being retarded.
It resolves with the Supreme Power PoTUS siccing a Fantastic Four copy on Hyperion while outside the White House resulting in the area getting nuked by all the powers going off, killing the idiot who escalated the situation. While Robots In Disguise has her literally team up with Galvatron and the Decepticons who claim to be oppressed by the Autobots and the real good guys all along - despite 2 years ago Megatron invading and killing over a billion people. Do note in this timeline Megatron and Galvatron are not the same person, Galvatron is actually worse in the end.
It's hilariously tragic and yet wholly deserved by these writers.
As someone who knows nothing about transformers, I can say confidently that robots is a word I know from that comment.
Ironically they're not actually robots since they're sentient mechanical lifeforms.
Sentient enough to transform into cool cars and planes.
Oh yeah, I think I remember going down to a comic site and reading Supreme Power once. I only read the original 18 issues (comics continuity is such a tangled mess compared to asian comics) but I remember how not-batman was a black supremacist, and the comic made it clear that this was not meant to be seen as a good thing in any way.
The series is probably criminally underrated (and I think it's fairly based too), though again I don't read a lot of Marvel or DC these days.
Nighthawk gets worse and worse every time he shows up in later material, more so since joining the main Marvel 616 universe after Time Runs Out brought a new Squadron Supreme he was part of together, only to then ditch that team and bring yet another version in during that stupid Coulson alternate universe where the Avengers never existed.
These sound perfect for AI shitposting.
Now to find the thread about using AI to replace things from a while back.
(Some time later...)
Got it!

tl;dr
Use AI to replace actors from films with insert of your choice.
Some examples from that thread:
Now for the shitposting: Replace place every black female POTUS with Trump but keep the dialogue, especially if POTUS refers to POTUSself as any kind of "black" or "woman" expression just for the absurdity the AI replacement will garner.
I'd like to see Star Wars but every character is Norm Macdonald.
Even background aliens in the Mos Eisley bar...all Norm Macdonald.
Except for Darth Vader...any guesses as to who that might be?
You guessed it, Frank Stallone
That reminds me of a man-on-the-street segment that a right-wing influencer did. He would quote something that sounded intolerant and racist to a passerby, then have them guess who said it. Of course the passerby would guess Bush or Trump or Hitler, and the host would reveal it was actually Obama or Biden or some other Democrat. The reaction from the passerby was usually "Oh, wow! Well anyways fuck you bye."
