    I saw a clip of…maybe Jordan Klepper…interviewing people going into a showing. All of them just full-on fan-girl with anticipation, and completely upside down from the entire rest of the world. All older white people, fancy dress, clearly wealthy; might have been a premier.

    It left me thinking that someone should follow some of these people around for a while to see where their special reality comes from. Study them, like Jane Goodall with the apes.

      I saw that too. They were all a bunch of rich Republicans. The screening was at the Kennedy center so it wouldn’t surprise me if basically everyone watching that screening was a government worker (or their friend/family) who probably moved to DC specifically to work for their favorite fascist.

      I also wondered how those people could be real and studying them wouldn’t be a bad idea.

        Sounds like a bunch of DEI hires to me.
